Title: Noobie
Post by: jandh on April 10, 2009, 11:48:06 PM
Hey everyone, I just bought my first jeep today.  I have drove many but never had the chance to own one. It is a 1989 Jeep Cherokee 4 Door 4X4, with the 4.0L engine.
it needs some work:  Breaks and rotors and drums all round. a new front stability bar, pretty much every bushing in the front, new shocks, ball joints, and some other things i can't remember, but I got it for $600.00 bucks, so can't complain, I start work on it tomorrow- YAY!  some new rubber would be good too.
230,000km which i'm told is just getting broken in, lol.
