I drive a 2004 Grand Cherokee 4.7 HO, 200k+ miles and going strong. I will keep this Jeep through 500k+ miles. When I was looking for a capable off-road with luxury comforts I found the WJ Jeep was best of the best. You will spend money on this vehicle, especially if you take it 150k+ miles but so what? You can find one used for $5,000. I typically spend 3-4,000 a year on my jeep but that is including lifting it 4", new tires and wheels and I use the 4x4 for fun on trails. That averages out to $300/mo. Not bad for vehicle that gets compliments every week and has rescued its fair share of other off roaders who lacked the power or traction to keep up with my Jeep. I love this Jeep.

2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland-A Piece of JUNK

I bought an '04 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland in 2005 w.a mere 22,000 miles on the odometer. Being loaded, this SUV cost $43,000+. I immediately learnt that both axle seals, & both rear shocks, were leaking. At 36,200 miles (200 miles out of the "warranty"), all "Hell" broke loose. The starter failed, the factory CD player died, power windows & door locks ceased to function (I've had this problem repaired 3+ times already), no Jeep dealership would help out even though this Jeep was only 200 miles out of "warranty", nearly every component in the front, and rear end of this piece of JUNK have been replaced. Plagued with the infamous "death wobble"....get to about 45 mph & it feels like the front end will self-destruct! Front fenders and rocker panels are rotted out, the frame and every other major component seem to be made of heavy gauge sheet steel which rot out, transmission started slipping at 117,000 miles. I can't wait to see this piece of JUNK go through the crusher, where it belongs. If You even remotely consider buying a Jeep, You're out of Your mind & You will be sorry! This is the biggest piece of JUNK I've owned in 50 years. A grossly overpriced LEMON, & my LAST Jeep. I curse the day I heard the word "JEEP"!

The Jeep has been nearly perfect and I put it through a lot of beating. It has towed my 19' boat 15 times this year. Most trips greater than 50 miles. I have 23K on the odometer. Nothing has failed and nothing really needs replacing. I do get the oil changed every 3K and have done all of the scheduled service.

The 2004 Overland is loaded and looks great. It is smoother and quieter than the 2001 Limited model. Set up of interior is excellent. HO engine is fast and smooth.

I've always wanted a jeep ever since i started driving. It was always my dream car and i wouldn't be happier driving anything but this vehicle! The comfort is incredible, the ride is awesome, and the car is well worth the money you spend on it even though i got a killer deal on a used one! Thanks for making the ultimate vehicle for all my driving needs!!
