Last summer i gave up my 1984 jeep wagoneer(it was the fore runner of the cherokee small) It had 100,000. miles when I bought it ,drove it 4 years adding another 200,000 miles it was leaking every fluid but still running great. I got a 1995 montero I love it it is 4 wheel drive on the fly. it has lots of room for Merlin and Lady plus Tim(6'5") and me. about 22 mpg( needs a tune up. )It is a little taller so if your short like me (5'2") it is great you can see more road.
