My everyday driver is a 1990 Cherokee that I have owned from new. 4.0 liter engine, 5 speed stick, I have heard that the automatics had some trouble, but I haven't had to deal with that. I've put more than 155,000 miles on it. I like it and have no major complaints (a few minor ones, but I've learned to live with them). I wouldn't reccomend it as vehicle for a young, inexperienced driver. Although somewhat overblown, there is some truth to the reports that these things will roll over more easily than a passenger car. It doesn't handle like a Porshe, it doesn't even handle as good as the Volkswagon I used to have. Sudden turns on the wheel at highway speed will flip it more quickly than a car will. In my opinion, it would probably flip more quickly than a Suburban would. Stiff suspension, high center of gravity, solid axles front and rear. I understand this and drive accordingly. I don't think it is dangerous for an experienced driver, but I don't think it is the best thing for youth and inexperience. If I had this Jeep when I was 16, I would probably have flipped it too, we are all young at one time or another, wisdom comes later, or at least mine did. Just my experiences and opinions, others my see it differently.

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
