my 1990 cherokee has logged 154 thousand miles, brutal commute conditions in the NE.. snow, ice, rain, chuck holes, brutal summer heat & humidity.. never failed to start, never had to shovel snow, never froze my bellybutton in the winter, never cooked it in the summer.
i never 'babied' it, serviced it at @ 5,000 mile intervals. Never replaced a single water pump, replaced the belt and hoses as normal maintenance at 100,000 miles. It had one set of front rotors replaced.. on it's 4th brake job. the tranny and differential worked perfectly... always. 2 exhaust systems in it's lifetime, 3 sets of tires, one set of shocks. Never needed anything serious done to the engine.. a PCV system, some vaccum hoses, one oxy sensor.
Not a spot of rust on the bodywork, anywhere. all window seals still funtional. all window motors still work fine. keyless entry system still faultless. never suffered a single blown fuse or electrical glitch. It still does not rattle.
In short, it's a tough functional lil beast, and my kid drives it now.. still running strong.
Theres only ONE jeep. everything else is just a wannabe.
