Jeep Cherokee 4.0 Petrol 95 Limited

cant speak for most of it, but a mate has one (who also bought on impulse), and i had a brief drive on fraser island in january

thirsty as buggery, if it is an auto, you cant force it into first gear, which is a pain in the butt as you can appreciate, it also tends to shift up early. Has almost no ability to idle, but a helluva lotta pickup as soon as you hit the throttle, leaves you spinning or moving to fast in a lot of situations

dont expect it to go all the places the gq can, i cant say it wont go well, but from my 20mins on fraser, i wouldnt try anything more than sand....

yet another disclaimer, so i dont start arguements: i am willing to be corrected on this, as i have no real time behind the wheel, and am just trying to imagine what it would feel like elsewhere

Said to be murder on parts prices, (like Toyota) & fewer aftermarket bits.
Try outerlimits4X4 forum & scroll down to Jeep for info. as for all other makes too!

my girfriend inherited one, we have had our hands in our pockets ever since, we are on first name basis with the racq man who comes to tow it away once a month to the chrysler dealer. I think maybe the deceased lady is laughing her head off somewhere.

I've heard the stories about reliability and parts costs, however as to their 4wd ability I've seen stock Jeeps do some pretty awsome stuff... I mean they do have front and rear live axles and heaps of power under the hood so I can't see any reason why they wouldn't eat up most challanges put to them, however I spose it's still not going to help much if it stops 6 hours from home with no hope of starting it without a diagnostic computer, however more and more of us are facing this worry as the "good ol'" motors are becoming fewer and fewer.
