I know I shouldn't have, but.....
I recently bought a '99 4.0 Cherokee off of Craigslist for a couple hundred dollars with a blown engine. The seller was basically driving it with the RPM under 1,000 and a connecting rod came out the side of the block. Typical 4.0 from that era. It's as plain as can be with crank windows and really few options. Was originally owned by a local community college. No rust, some paint is starting to fade. Other than that, body is perfect. I rebuilt an engine about 4 years ago that never went into service will be going into it, starting this weekend.
This will be my fourth Jeep. I still have a '96 4.0 manual, a '96 4.0 automatic and I got rid of a '98 Grand Cherokee. I always say I'll never own another, but this last one was too sweet to pass up.
