March 15th I was given a Jeep. They probably donated it to me because they felt bad I was driving a 45 year old vehicle
It is a 1994 Cherokee Sport. 4.0, 5 speed manual and 4x4 one owner Jeep. I know some are thinking how rare it is to have a manual in a 4 door Cherokee, it is not. At least to me. This is my third XJ and all three were manuals. ( one AX-5 and two ax-15's) ( The guy that bought my CJ7 years ago had two of them, have a friend with a 2x4 and I know of two or more in town with manuals, not rare in my world.) It does have 275,xxx miles on it and almost all original. ( Told the clutch is original ) So far I removed all the interior to clean it out. Lots of coffee was spilt and a dog with white fur was a frequent passenger. I also "rebuilt" the drivers door handle. Spring was broken making it difficult to unlatch. Also had to grease all door latches. I took the drivers side out and cleaned it of grime, The other three will be removed soon and cleaned as well. So far I know it needs: ( not in order of importance) Clutch Drivers door window regulator Speakers Trans or engine mounts Tires Shocks Told a seal in the transfer case is leaking I will be degreasing in and checking brakes and suspension. I'm happy I will be getting close to 20 mpg Edited by berettajeep - 27 Apr. 2019 at 3:57pm |

I'd have taken it too. Good deal. A year ago I saw an ad in Craigslist for a Cherokee with a 5-speed. Guy only wanted $2K but I couldn't justify it. I shoulda tried harder to convince myself.

Changed the oil last night. The place the previous owner had it changed before I got it put the oil filter on way to tight, had to put a pry bar through the filter. Even then it was difficult to remove.
Sadly ( or happily) it was the place I used to work at. ( One of the reasons I no longer work there) |

Ordered a bunch of parts for it that needed help. Clutch, trans. and engine mounts, wiper linkage bushings, stabilizer links and an all important cupholder .
Also a valve cover gasket and breather tubes. It leaks oil in the air filter box and being a known problem I found the "factory" way to stop it from happening. Hopefully it will stop raining when I get these parts because this week has been rainy. |

Sounds like you got your work cut out for you Dennis. I hear ya on the rain I got 3-1/2 " in 2-1/2 days and all the lakes around here are at full capacity and they have the spill gates open. Our creek is higher then I have ever seen it.

Oh it does not. Just this morning from 8:00 to 8:15 it didn’t rain at all. Things were starting to get a little dusty. But then the drought was relieved.

Excited to get back to work, as I had a bunch of parts waiting for me! Would have started replacing items but it was raining when I got home Now hopefully everything I ordered is correct replacement for the Jeep. Sucks when you order a part and then you find out the factory changed the design mid year. |
