Nice winter ride and hunting vehicle…a 1997 Jeep Cherokee Orvis Edition!! 4x4 52K miles on it… 318 5.2 liter V8 KEYLESS ENTRY, ALARM, REMOTE STARTER, HEATED SEATS, PROGRAMMABLE SEATS, SUNROOF, AM/FM CD AND CASSETTE, UNDER THE BACK SEATS IS A AN INFINITY GOLD AMPLIFIER THAT CAME WITH THE JEEP lol i’m excited…but its in Connecticut…of all places. And i cant go on the trip to pick it up. My dad is goin tho this weekend i think. Anyway, i was just wondering about jeeps…as i dont know anything about them other than the transmissions on these things kinda weak. Is there any jeep guys on here that may beable to put out some things i should look for? Problem areas? ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/jeepmotor.jpg](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/jeepmotor.jpg) ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/orrjeep1.jpg](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/orrjeep1.jpg) ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/orrjeep2.jpg](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/orrjeep2.jpg) ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/orrjeep3.jpg](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/orrjeep3.jpg) ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/orrjeep4.jpg](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/orrjeep4.jpg) ---

As you said trannies are the only real problems I have heard of, as long as your on-road with it. I have heard mixed reviews about them off road. I know a big off-road, gearhead guy, that says the late 90’s Grands are the best stock off-road vehicle he has ever been in. And he owns a late 90’s blazer with 8" lift, 35’s, lockers frobt and rear, it was built to go off-road, and likes the stock Grand better… ---

Orvis Interior = :greddy2: Other than that, do the t-case fluid flush and do the tranny fluid flush, change the tranny filter and drive it. ---

Door hinges if the doors start to sag replace the pins and bushings you can buy them from advanced really cheap. I have a grand cherokee 5.2 all wheel drive and no lie I beat the shit out of it, good daily driver
