1998 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4x4 6 cylinder - 110,XXX miles

The good:

Automatic
AC/Heater
CD player, CB Radio with magnetic Antenna
4x4, 6 cylinder
Power windows and door locks
4 1/2 Rustys brand lift, 31 BFG A/T with full size spare
Aftermarket front bumper with a winch
Rustys brand Heavy duty Tie rod and drag link
Rustys Brand Lower control Arms
Rustys brand Tranny/transfer case skid plate - I have a Rustys oil pan skid also that I have taken off, It's yours if you buy the jeep
Class III tow hitch - B/M Tranny cooler
Doesn't leak a drop of anything - rear main seal was replaced within the last year as well as the muffler and tail pipe, Upper control arm bushings were just replaced also.
Inside is clean, the front and rear seats all have custom fit heavy duty rubber floormats - they are nice!


The Bad:
Winch works fine but the cable that is on it needs to be replaced - it's pretty rusty
The power windows only operate from the drivers controls - It acts like the window lock is engaged but it isn't????
The blinker doesn't turn off on it's own - you have to flip the switch back down manually
At high speed the front end can get wobble - this was diagnosed as needing to replace the control arms and trac bar bushings - The uppers have already been replaced - the rest of the bushings I have sitting on my workbench but haven't had the time to change yet.
The rear spring bushings creak a little - I have these bushings also but once again have not had the time to change them
Basically if you bought this you would have to change out a few bushings or pay a mechanic to do it....I have all the parts and they are included with the sale.

This is a good little mall cruiser - The engine is strong and the paint still looks good except for a few scratches that come from 10 years of use. It hasn't really been offroaded except for a few fire roads. For me it was only used as my daily driver, I now need to upgrade to a truck so I can tow my jeep wrangler. The cherokee was going to turn into my offroad rig but I have since changed paths and decided to keep My Wrangler and sell the Cherokee instead.

Disregard the rims in the pictures - I have since upgraded to some nicer looking aftermarker ones.

Feel free to get ahold of me with any questions you might have.
Thanks
Danny
