I got this Jeep Cherokee in 2006 virtually for nuthin' from Jerry Johnson's wife, Rosie, when my Ford Ranger blew its headgasket (which I succesfully rebuilt, by the way).
Since then Jeepee has served as a good first or second car, depending on the season. It basically gets lousy gas mileage, but it has a dependable classic straight six engine that kind of ranks as a "tradition". I like this model Cherokee 4.0 because it's still "basic" enough to feel Jeepish but is muted enough so as not to be classed as Urban Warrior reliving the Italian Campaign...
So I've decided to trick it out a bit, beginning with "rubberizing" the side moulding. It's not black paint but thick spray bed-liner. (I also re-did the bumpers.) No... I will not add KC lights, but I will add a tow hitch and some kind of roof rack. I still have to figure out what to do with the rims.
I know this is like totally fascinating.... you wanna see more dead leaves?.
