Family of Jeeps

I am part of a Family of jeeps. My dad has an 87 with 287,000 miles on it and the only problems that we ever had with it in our last 3 years of owning it is the slight oil leak and the anitfreeze reservoir cracked. We also recently did something to the front axle from pulling a stuck 04 f150 out of the snow. Funny stuff but that little jeep did it. my uncle has a 92 with 210K (approx) and he loves that HO I am currently looking for another, newer jeep. to get ready for offroad and these rigs are very reliable. On or off road. my old dodge would take me a whole tank off road, those 2 jeeps only used 1/4 a tank of gas on a 100 mi offroad trip. Great Rigs.

Let's start with the fact that I never had to do more than routine maintenence to it ... add that it got me over the continental divide without incident on a county road in a blizzard bad enough to shut down the interstate ... had enough acceleration to push you back in the seat after a quarter million miles and still didn't burn oil. I'd still be driving it today had some moron not smashed into it while it was parked. Thanks, Jeep!

SOLID Jeep

A solid performer - on and off road. I am the second owner (first owner was a relative) and there have never been any significant headaches. The only engine issue is the need to add a half qt of oil every 1-2k miles. This Jeep has seen lots of deep mud, snow and unimproved roads and I have only been stuck once - and that was my error. The body is in great shape. There are only a few spots of rust near the rear wheelwells and the hood and roof paint is really faded. With over 140,000 miles, I still drive it to work every day - with confidence in the engine.

I bought my 1990 Jeep Cherokee Laredo in the beginning of 2009 and had it until the end of 2011, when I discovered it had a bad engine bearing. I sold it to someone who wanted to put another engine in. It was fun to drive and I didn't have any huge issues besides the engine. I bought it with 155k miles on it, and drove it about 20 or 25k while I owned it. I was surprised that it was horrible in the snow, since the four wheel drive was only part time, I couldn't use it for anything but getting out of parking spots in the snow or mud, which it was awesome at. But the rear wheel drive was awful on my highway commute to and from work, I almost slid off the road multiple times.
