We've had several Jeeps from the 50's to the late 90's. The Cherokees are a different breed than the CJ's/YJ's/TJ's. We ahd 2 Cherokees, both were awful, and I don't misuse the word at all. The later YJ's and TJ's have been fine. Both ours have the 4 cyls. A bit low on power, but it's a Jeep, not a Ferrari. Rust has been our issue. Why the companies don't galvanize frames I don't know. Why they seem to purposely engineer the frames with holes that not only allow salt and water into the interior of the frame, but seem to be designed to hold it in so the frame will rust.
I think they're great utility vehicles. Ours got 20ish MPG, hauled a few hundred lbs of grain, were great for parts runs, were fun to drive compared to a mini van, were big enough for a couple kids in the back and small enough to fit in small parking spots. Get the hardtop and hard top and hard doors unless you love someplace really warm. Dont' get one owned by anyone that put much in the way of lift kits, etc. There are a lot of really trashed Wrangler types out there and you won't find the problems until you're on your 3rd set of tires in 6 months.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
