Default New guy from SD..

Hi and brrrrrr from eastern South Dakota. Just joined and doing a little research on Cherokee's. Thinking of selling my XTerra to get rid of a loan by buying an older suv. I owned a TJ for three years and loved every bit of it. Just became to small for kids and hockey bags n stuff. I am looking into the 2000 and up model Cherokees and was wondering what to look out for in engines and options and tell tale signs of abuse. I am not looking for a hardcore offroader just a reliable vehicle that can handle pulling iceshacks around in the winter and jetskis in the summer. Thanks..

Look for leaks and listen for noises. Make sure all electrical systems work properly, and it doesn't run hot/overheat.
