If you transplanted the 4.0L Jeep I-6 into the Sportage now that would be a beast. My Cherokee came from the US Forest Service in KY. It has about 111K miles on it and runs like it is new.

I have to do some restoration because my wife says I am not allowed to have a vehicle that looks like a POS even if it is mechanically sound, but since I only spent $936 for it not counting driving to Land Between The Lakes, KY, and driving it back to Oklahoma, yes we drove it back without a problem I can spend a little money and elbow-grease to restore it.

One thing I have discovered is that there is a butt-load of stuff out ther for the Cherokees.
