checkin out a 97 Cherokee for a DD...

anything I should be giving a stern look at besides the obvious?

 

Thing of it is, this cherokee has almost 175,000 miles on it, a Rubicon Express 3.5" lift, 31" tires and the guy I talked to said he put the lift on himself. Just wanna get some of your ideas on what I should be concerned about with this many miles on the vehicle.

 

I just want a vehicle to be reliable enough for me until I go in to the Navy next Feb/March. I'm hoping this is the ticket. Thanks fellers

Well, it definately matters what color it is. :D

 

 

 

 

 

just kidding. What's your "obvious" and what engine is it?

[eLyk2k1]

it's the 4.0.

 

my 'obvious' is that the auto tranny shifts nicely, minimal leaks along the drive train and that the thing runs like expected

 

and the color is a dark green :) hahaha

96+ Cherokees have problems with driveshaft vibes when they're lifted. Especially at 3.5", I could see it having some pretty wicked vibrations. I lifted my 99 XJ 2.5" and it required a transfer case drop. Just another thing to be aware of.
