Hey, brought home another vehicle, this one ALMOST made it home under it's own power...
97 Jeep Cherokee, 212k miles, 4.0 auto, part time selectable 4wd with low range...
Its a dark metallic blue, and has no rust, and no major dings, or minor scratches. Has a trailer hitch. Rear end recently rebuilt, new brake pads and shoes (he reused the rotors and drums, but no shimmeys) New rear lift struts. CD player. AC, PW, PL, Cruise, Premium sound (has sound-bar thing in back) map lights, and alloy 15" wheels. No current suspension problems! :pardon:
Paid $700. I feel that's about a hundred high, but he had alot of offers, and I was the first to show. Clear title.
Needs:
Transfer case ($75)
Drivers seat, the PO was heavyset! ($10)
Drivers Tail light ($10)
Rear liftgate handle ($10)
Tires ($300-$400)
Muffler ($30)
Windshield, possibly. Cracked in FAR passenger side ($150?)
Books out at 2200 fair, and 2700 good. Excellent is 3100 but would take alot of little work to bring up to that level, and there's no market for a $3000 97 SUV
Curious as to what to do for tires... IF I can find a nice matching set of used tires, I'd buy them in a heartbeat. It's wearing 235-75r15's right now, I "think" it could take either a 30x9.5 r15 or possibly a 31x10.5 without lifting it, and without rubbing, but I dont know for sure. The price difference, new, is less then $50... Wonder how large I could go without needing to lift, and wondering if slightly oversized tires would help sell it during the winter. "may" keep it though also.
Has anyone had any experience with BFG LT all terrain tires?
Any other comments on the rig are appreciated. Pics that the owner took are attached, they're like 1.5 meg each or so, and HUGE
