hello. im andy. looking at one of a couple cherokee.
wanting a mild off road rig. nothing special. run 33s, mild lift.

im looking at a 4.0ho 4x4. with around 200,000 miles on it. but for 1200 bucks you really cant be to picky.

i have never owned a 4.0. how reliable are they? this will be my daily for at least a month.

Welcome, from Wisconsin. For $1200, you can afford to be a little picky. Take your time in looking. there's a lot of Cherokees around. Especially in IL.
