Hi, my name is Mike. I live in Marietta, GA and have been involved with Jeeps my whole life. I am more into atvs but love my Jeeps. I have a 1942 ****** and 1977 CJ5. I sold my 1990 Limited XJ and now looking to purchase another XJ.

How many miles have you all gotten out of your XJ's? I put 185,000 on my 1990. Probably going to purchase a 2000-2003 model 6cyl. Any words of advice?

Thanks and I am looking forward to hanging out with you all.

Mike

Welcome from OK! I have seen xjs with 300,000 miles on them. They are just breaking in until 150k.

Welcome from Texas. Used to live in Marietta and aquired all of my XJs while living there and still retain a 90XJ Limited. Where do you live as I used to live in the Sprayberry area.

Thanks for the warm welcome. This is the kind of info I am interested in since I am looking at buying another Cherokee.

BlueXJ, I live off of Jamerson Rd just up from Lassiter H.S. I grew up and learned about off-roading in a small town called Heflin, AL.

I have noticed that you can pick up 2000-2001 Cherokees around here with 100,000 or so miles for about $3000. Is this a pretty common price?

I heard the 4.7L V8s were bad engines in the Grands. Don't some of these have the 4.2L?

Are there any XJs or Grands that I should stay away from?

Sorry for the questions, I guess I could start searching and find the answers myself.
