Hey everyone,
first off i hate to admit it but im actually a big import fan too. I am an apprentice mechanic for Suzuki and my other car is a 1995 Acura Integra. This is my first Chrysler product although i've own alot of lumpy junky fords and the odd GM product. My first 4wd vehicle though. I bought a 96' Jeep Cherokee sport. its a 4dr and features manual everything lol I plan on using it this winter even though it has stock tires. Umm as far as mods go the floor was rotten on both sides so i put a piece of metal under the carpet and hammered it until it fit... its just sitting there for now. the rest of the body is mint and the amount of rust proofing is nuts on it. I've only had it a day but its honestly such a fun vehicle to drive. Is there any common problems too look out for on these jeeps? Thanks, ill post up pics sometime soon!
