1989 Jeep Cherokee review from North America

"From hell to back home I trust this little truck"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Front end ball joints at 160,000

front bushings at 16000

rear brake cylinders blown at 175,000

a hand full of sensors

dash cracked

rear main seal at 180,000

injectors went at 175,000

fuel pump at 169,000.

General comments?

This truck handles great in all weather conditions and I have never had a real problem with it except once or twice I have fish tailed in the snow.

The leather seats are great and well worth it because they have little wear for being almost 18 years old

all Cherokee's leak a little bit of oil so I won't go into that, but other than that the truck has no real engine problems at 181,000.

The constant competition between Cherokee's and wranglers, well lets face it Cherokee's are heavier which just plain makes them better in the mud.

I have put this little truck though hell and it has pulled itself back and always gotten me home no matter what the odds.

Its very strong for its size with its stock 175 horsepower. it picks up nicely and goes clean though till it hits the rev meter.

The in line 6 is bullet proof I could almost say its unbeatable its at 181,000 and runs like a jewel.

I take my Cherokee off-roading all the time and it has no problem pulling those who can't keep up out of the mud.

All in all I have kept this truck in very good shape and given it nothing, but TLC and I have gotten nothing, but joy out of it. I love this truck... its dependable and fun to drive... I would never sell it... they don't make them like they use to.
