1987 Jeep Cherokee Chief - 174K
The Bad: Very little rust - Salvage Title, the result of a minor accident in 2002. I had done a lot of work to the Jeep with a lot of new parts so I decided to keep it and bought it back from the insurance company and fixed it.
The Good: the jeep is in very good shape for the year, I have done a lot of work thru the years including mods and maintenance. What I have not been able to do myself I bring to Bill at SVE to do (feel free to call him - he can confirm). I’m the second owner of the jeep, I bought it in 2000 from a soccer mom next town over – the jeep had 88k at the time. Wife used the jeep to haul the kids for a few years until the family grew and I got her a minivan. This is when I took over and lifted the jeep.
