Amazing vehicle
By Kaiden | on Monday, February 01, 2021
For my 1997 Jeep Cherokee it is a best, I bought it almost a year ago and when I bought it off of one of my buddies it was in terrible condition. My valve cover was leaking oil, the blinkers wouldn't work, heater and A/C wouldn't work, had a transmission oil leak, etc. The list goes on need less to say in the short time that I have had this Jeep I have done a lot to it which is really surprising because of how busy I am working full time and also going to school full time. But, I have almost everything fixed on my Jeep and so far everything that I have done has been really easy. The dash and most if not all of the trim inside of the Jeep you can take off with just a simple screwdriver. Overall the Jeep Cherokee is an amazing vehicle on and off the road.… - 5.0
The rumors are true, these things last forever.

Ive had my Cherokee for years, and this has been by far the best/most reliable vehicle ive ever owned...I picked this car up as a winter beater, but as time went on I began to realize that this boxy, iconic Jeep is capable of much more than that. With over 20 years under its belt and over 200,000 miles, its never had a check engine light, never had a breakdown, and has really only required minimal maintenance (the past two years its required oil changes and a new battery). I highly recommend this vehicle to anyone that is looking for a capable 4X4 that will likely outlast most newer/more expensive vehicles.… - 5.0

This 99 is my 2nd one. My 87 went over 350,000 without a second thought. Almost trouble free, and only minor issues, (sensors, A/C compressor, things like that) but what can I expect for 350,000 miles. I used it, abused it, neglected it, and put it through things that would destroy the best of them. After I sold it to a friend, it got passed around his family for about another 5 years. It did hit 500,000 before I lost track of it. Even at that point, not even the valve cover was removed. That 4.0 is amazing. I have 84,000 on my 99 now, and it has never let me down, never stranded, always starts right up, even in -30 degree weather. I had to put a fuel pump in it, due to a short span of hard starting, But I expect at least that. What a fantastic truck. A little tight for front legroom, but changing the seat tracks to power helped a ton. If it got totalled today, I would replace it with another exactly like it. There will probably be one in my driveway till the day I die.…
