I gave my nephew my 91 Cherokee with 227K on it. He's happy with everything, except it scares him. He basically drives it too hard. High power, low weight, stiff suspension, bumpy country roads, 20 mph too fast, and ice patches. He wants to give it back (and he's only 29) I don't know how we survived without them, but now everyone has to have airbags. My friends and neighbors recommend older Intrepids with the 3.0 engine, and any 10 year old LeSabre, Olds 88, or Bonneville with the 3.8 engine. A lady friend asked for suggestions for her daughter, with the additional requirement that it not have room for more kids. When I was a high school kid, I wished my dad would let me have an old Ford Model A, but I had to be happy with his 6 cyl Ford pickup truck. Do you know the years you could buy a straight six Ford pickup with airbags? Click and Clack always recommend old Volvos for daughters. They have strong structures, normally don't rust out for 20 years, and you can install American power if you want to. In fact, a Cherokee 4 cylinder might work.

12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
