sup guys I thinking about buying this cherokee. its a 94 5 speed v6. I don't know to much else haven't look'd at it yet. I would post the link of the criagslist post but I'm at work. if you type "lift jeep" in seattle it will pop up. its the blue one in bothel

CHIF8008

wait!! its not a v6 jeeps dont have those

Duncan1800

Well, most Jeeps don't have them. At least not the older ones.

Sadly, unless you go for a V8 Grand or Commander, it's pretty hard to find a trail-capable modern Jeep that doesn't have a V6.

(And no, the "Trail-Rated" Compass 2.4 does not count in my eyes.)

hmm I don't know to much about jeeps. the craigslist post said it was a v6. I guess I'll have to check when I see it.

Duncan1800

Well, don't get me wrong, it's a six-cylinder engine - but it's a straight-six (or I6), rather than a V6. At least, for a '95, it should be...

The only Cherokees with V6 engines (from General Motors) were built from 1984-1986, and most accounts say that they basically suck. The Jeep straight-six used from 1987-2001, on the other hand, tends to be bulletproof with proper care.

From the listing...



Apparently, it's a "TRUE MAN'S utility vehicle" according to the seller.

My thoughts? Well, the pics are too small to tell much about it, but it has really nice window tint. Mileage-wise, 190k is about average for a '94 (13k a year). However, the front bumper seems very bent - can't tell if it's deep enough to have bent the fender or not, but that's worth looking at.

In short...I dunno. Probably deserves a closer look.

yeah he didn't know the lift size. so I asume he didn't do any work himself. prolly got it like that. but yea I need to go look at it

well when I go look at it tomorrow, other then looking for rust anything else I should be looking for?

a1racer

i would pass but that is just me i guess

ol"blue

As Duncan stated earlier look that front-end over good underneath to see how far the damage goes. It's definitely been hair lipped.

Duncan1800

I kinda feel the same way - there are enough stock XJs available out there that it's not worth guessing whether someone else's custom work was good or not. I mean, this one's not heavily modified, but you just never know.

a1racer

^^^ yeah exactly plus it look's to have been hit in the front and he does not even know what is on there. pass

tyrhine

yeah, I'm gunna take a look at it tomorrow anyway nothing better to do.
