Best car ever
Fuel pump went out twice in ten years. No biggie.
I love this car. Best ever made. I take care of it; that's why it doesn't break down or have any problems while having 200k on it.

After 10 years of ownership, I believe that these older Jeeps are one of the toughest vehicles ever
Had to replace water pump and power steering hose at 160,000 miles.
Engine rear main seal has been leaking for the last 20,000 miles. Cost to repair is $350.00-$400.00.
My Jeep has been the best overall vehicle I have ever owned out of about 15 vehicles.
The 4.0 inline 6 has plenty of get up and go, even after 210,000 miles.
The interior, seats, window, and door lock controls have held up very well. The drivetrain of this Jeep has been exceptional with no issues whatsoever.
The one downside to this vehicle is the rather small back doors, which makes entry/exit for adults not so easy.

I think this is an all round great vehicle
Water pump calfed at 296,000 k and had the 4x4 shaft rebuilt at the same k's.
Seats are leather and wearing badly, but not a big deal.
Some rust on both doors, but the vehicle runs great. It's the straight 6 4 litre.
I have had this Jeep since 07, and it is the 1st 4wd drive vehicle I have owned. We have had a lot of fun with it in the snow, but have not really had any tests in the muck YET..

Couldn't beat it if you tried
The only things that have gone wrong with the car are the water pump and the starter.
The battery just now shot craps, and from what I understand it was the original.
I love love love my Jeep. 291000 miles and still starts in a heartbeat.
The A/C doesn't work, but I don't care because everything else does.
If you treat it right, Jeeps will take care of you. Believe that. It is a Jeep thing and you would not understand.

Very dependable and trustworthy
The water pump 4 times in 18 years. Also had to replace the headliner.
I purchased my Jeep Cherokee new in 1991 and have driven it from Michigan to Monterrey, Mexico. It now has 231,000 miles on it and has never failed to start. The only things I have replaced except for normal wear in the 18 years I have owned it is the water pump (4 times) and the headliner. Other than that it has served my well. I have no complaints. If you do your regularly scheduled oil changes they will last a long time. I am hoping to drive my Jeep for another 18 years.

You can always trust it to get you through
Exhaust was hanging off. I replaced it with a flowmaster. The shocks were blown. I replaced them with pro-comps. The lift is an add a leaf for a 3 inch lift. it doesn't allow the suspension to move freely. The 4wd isn't working right now because the hubs are messed up. heater burned up my fuse box. car was overheating. now has electric fan, dual core radiator.
This car handles great and has the power to get through anything (at least what is possible with the 3 inch). I have had this car fishtailing through the desert at about 50 mph with a drop on either side of me. I thought it was going to flip or go off the edge, but I was able to steer it away from the edges, even when whipping back and forth driving completely sideways. I have driven down into a 4wd trail, only to figure out when it was time to go up out of the trail that my 4wd was out. I got stuck only a couple of times, this made me mad, so I gained speed and just powered through about 2 miles of 4 wheeling in 2wd. this is a great car and I wouldn't trade it for anything else. if I drive good I get about 20 mpg.
