Hey all, new guy here from PDX (Cornelius to be exact.) I moved here about 4 years ago and after about 6 months or so I bought a car for commuting and whatnot. It turns out my then girlfriend's (now wife) commute was longer so she ended up with my brand new car and I inherited a '95 Cherokee Country. I can't complain though I grew up driving suv's and only bought a car for gas mileage and didn't have much to carry around. It's in pretty good condition, the only thing to go wrong engine wise in the 3-4 years I've been driving it is the alternator. There's definitely some things that need repaired though. I'm not much of a car guy but I know it's a 4.0l and I believe inline 6. We're sitting at just over 135k miles. I plan on doing some stuff to it but nothing major all the little stuff needs to be fixed first.
You can see the trim on the bottom starting to peel off. Debating on just taking it off not sure yet. None of the lights line up, the 1 headlight faces upward and one of the ground light faces down. Easy fixes I've just kind of dealt with it. Also you can see where I broke the bumper corner piece from hitting a pole pulling in to work.
Here she is in all her glory. I've only seen 1 other gold Country ever. We plan on getting a roof basket to free up some space in the back from the spare.
You can't really see it but there's no lock on the passenger side door, just a bolt that was put in to prevent the door being able to be opened with a butterknife or the likes. All the other locks are starting to go also. The drivers side lock needs to have the key turned back and forth with a little bit of pressure before it finally unlocks and hitting the unlock button doesn't always unlock the other doors. You can hear the mechanisms try to work but they just don't fully unlock. Also if you look at the bottom of the passenger door you can see where the lower corner was bent. A friend was rather intoxicated and thought he could break in by bending the door out (he left his backpack in there and didn't think to ask for the keys.) To the right is the sad reminace of Portland's Snowpocalypse 2015.
That's an engine! And that about sums up my knowledge under the hood. Looks like an inline 6 which has more power? I don't know i'm sure some of you can set me straight on that.
This is the drivers side door seal. Apparently while going down the highway the door just fell off. From what I'm told it was welding back on improperly making a 1/4" gap between the door and the seal. Not sure how to go about fixing that one.
Well there ya go!

are probably the biggest wealth of knowledge anywhere for the XJ Cherokee.
