Bought another XJ today, I think I'll actually keep this one.
Specs:
1997 Jeep Cherokee Sport. (four door)
4.0, 4x4, auto. 142k miles. Was a trade in at a dealer in Syracuse, a small local dealer buy's wholesale out there and resells for a little profit.
Pretty decent shape for the year around here, has a little bit of rust here and there but overall not bad. Needs a radio and supposedly a wheel bearing. I can't hear the bad bearing, so it's good in my eyes. Dealer had good hearing, clearly I don't. The hatch struts are bad, but that's normal in my eyes.
My early plans for it is to have it replace my Oldsmobile for a daily driver, which is now for sale for $500. I'm going to install my pioneer that's been in 5 different vehicles and upgrade all the speakers. I have to look around at some sub setups in jeeps for my design but I definitely want a system in it. The wheels need upgrading, it has some old rusty steel wheels that someone painted silver. I'll be on the lookout for some sport alloys. The spare is one, not sure why. Seats are worn out, I'm on the lookout for some nice ones.
I'll also be giving it just a small amount of lift, and eventually a bumper with a tire carrier on it so I have more room in the back.
That will probably be the extent of it. I don't plan on dumping a boatload of money into it. That's what my Ranger's for.
Photos to come later today when I pick it up.
