My uncle has a cherokee and he seems to love it, its ok but i would rather have a wrangler, he also has a 79 jeep and he loves it its a 3spd and its a beast. i like driving it more than i do the cherokee. Thanks for your input and if i cant find a jeep i like or i decide i like them i would get a cherokee.

Body Damage is Cool
Cherokees are not offroad vehicles, or perhaps better said, cherokees are not durable offroad vehicles without significant modifications and expense. It's always fun to read the posts regarding cherokees where the owner over time finds that the doors will not close after their recent trail ride. Cherokees do not have a frame to support the cab and absorb the body twisting moderate trails provide. Sure, some guys with Chrokees will never venture on these type trails and never have a problem except with ground clearance. Lifting a Cherokee without including some sort of supporting frame is a quick guarantee of body related problems in the near future if you do any four wheeling at all. The funniest post in regard to Cherokees was from a guy who wanted to cut the top off the cherokee; I guess what he really wanted was a real Jeep! When most people talk about Jeeps, it's assumed that they're speaking about a Wrangler or a CJ! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> Hey, Cuervo! Are you sure I really don't like Cherokees and GC's? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> Cherokees have their place in the market just like any other SUV. But, IMHO the Cherokee isn't a serious offroad vehicle; no more than those subarus I see commonly high centered near treeline on mountain trails. Tongue-in-cheek, knowing I'm stirring the pot!

I had no idea about the cherokees body problems maybe i will stay away from them. i plan on doing some offroading. but thats funny about the guy who wanted to cut the top off his cherokee <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />. i like the look of cherokees but i like the look of wrangler more by far. i think i would have more fun in a jeep, seeing as i can go without doors and a top <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
But thanks for the info, it helps me a lot in my decision. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
