Question Thinking about buying this Cherokee
New guy here from Colorado looking at selling the Power Wagon for a Cherokee. Was wanting to hear what the experts have to say. Anything I should look for when I give this rig the once over? Thanks for the replies in advance.

X2, it looks nice, but I'd rather build it on my own.

As stated before, I'd pass on that one and look a while longer.
