General Comments:
I can't say enough good things about this car. I'm the original owner. It's a two-wheel drive model. I've driven the absolute CRAP out of it, and it just keeps going.
I've run it 3 quarts low on oil with no problem.
I've had the speedometer pegged more times than I can count.
When the valve cover gasket was leaking, there was oil pooled all over the top of the engine, and smoke used to boil out from the wheel wells.
I burned the brakes up in it, and replaced the rotors.
This thing takes whatever I dish out and keeps going. Yeah sure, it uses oil and smokes a bit now, but who cares. I'll keep it forever. I plan to have it refitted in 2009 (rebuild engine and transmission, fix the a/c and cruise control).
Then I'll have it repainted and drive it another 15 years.

I also have the 1993 Cherokee. It was given to my son 5 years ago at 189,000. It now has 238,000 and is running strong. I never dreamed "the beast" would be with us in 2011. Just the usual repairs, plus the body is like a tank. The whole family loves this car.
