There's a guy near me selling what I think is an 80s 2 door BMW... dunno if its an m... there's always a reason for someone selling a car tho.... ur usually buying someone else's problems...

 

I hear ya, unless you are buying new, you really are taking a shot even if you get a private party mechanic to look at it. I am going on car number 12 with this jeep. I've had pretty good luck, except for one car and that bit me in the ***.

 

I've owned a bunch of cars, new and used and currently one project that needs a trans.... my jeeps suspension was shot when I got it but every thing else seems good so far, seems well cared for just worn... slowly replacing all the suspension stuff but I saw all those problems before I got it but then again I love doing suspension work!

 

I haven't really done much suspension stuff, so that should be fun. I am just working on maintenance right now. Replaced valve cover gasket and spark plugs, picked up a cap and rotor, have some gear oil, oil and filters. Just gotta install it. Gotta hunt down some leaks, its due for inspection next month anyway and I might just have my mechanic look at it because I wanna drive it to South Carolina at the end of August.

Interior is in decent shape for the type of use its gotten, a bit smokey smelling but whatever. Kid had some ghetto stuff done to it, di noc wrapped parts and terribly done and a ghetto sound system. I ripped all that out and added a nice but cheap Alpine BT head unit. The door cars are all cut up for his 10 speaker setup so I gotta find some of those.

Other than that I just need to get some headliner material off of ebay .because its just totally hanging off and being help up with thumbtacks.

 

Well if you want some help give me a yell!

 

Thanks for the offer, I appreciate it! One step at a time.

 

As for leaks, check the oil filter adapter, the o-ring goes out in it and sprays oil everywhere. Super common on the 4.0 and it will look like a rear main. Just Google "jeep Cherokee oil filter adapter leak."

 

Good mornig guys...im headin to a camp we just got in bedford county for the next 5 days..does anybody know any good trails or wheelin places in the area around bedford.ill be about. A mile from shawnee state park

 

Alright I will check it out. I noticed a little oil forms on the bottom of the oil filter which could explain that.

 

happy 4th

 

Hope everyone had a good holiday. I am always leary of driving on days like this, hope everyone stays safe.
