I finally have my first Jeep. I’ve always wanted one and finally decided I should get a cherokee (after seeing prices of used 4 door wranglers).
Here’s some pictures: http://goo.gl/qaRbG
It’s a 1991 Cherokee. I looked for a while for a rust free cherokee in the budget. They where all more than I wanted to spend. Then found this one. It needs a lot of work but the modifications to make it offroad ready have already been done.
So my question is how’d I do? Instead of saying how much I spent I’d like to find out what everyone thinks it’s worth and then, unless I’m to embarrassed to say, I’ll say what I paid.
The Good:
* It was built in 2006 by burnsvilleoffroad.com
* Front Long Arm 4.5” lift (i think maybe 6.5”)
* Rear 4 Link with coil springs.
* Locking differentials front and back. I can’t remember what he said, lockright eatons or something. They don’t have an any kind of switch to them.
* Slip yoke Eliminator.
* Big tie rod and track bar in the front
* sway bar quick disconnect in the front (no sway bar).
* The engine was recently rebuilt in 2006, runs great but haven't checked compression or anything yet.
* Full Exo Cage
* Smitty 12,000lb winch
* Two KC lights (that look like they should work but don’t turn on)
* 33x12.5x15 TRXUS MT Tires, with good spare.
The Bad:
* Windows don’t roll down
* Not all doors lock
* No sway bars in front to connect to those disconnects, in back the links are broke.
* Interior is just very ruff, like no headliner etc, seats are trashed, smells like chew
* I don’t know if I’d call it a death wobble, but it wobbles at above 60MPH
* It leans to the passenger side, maybe an inch or two.
* It pops when it turns
* The brakes are very bad, no need for anti-locks slamming on them and it still can’t lock them up.
* No mirrors.
* Haven’t got the back open, it’s stuck somewhere.
The Ugly:
* Every body panel is beat up, the exo cage was after a couple roll overs.
* Front Grill has a kind of zombie attack vehicle thing going.
So what do you think it’s worth?
