This is probably the 2nd best car i've ever had. drove it 6,500 miles in a few weeks, from Los Angeles to Boston with various detours, never once let me down. Had her completly airborne twice, drove 18 hours non-stop, had her downtown Hollywood and Manhattan, not one problem. Very very reliable and strong, nothing bad about this truck.

Pros — The whole thing
Cons — n/a

I pretty much love my jeep because it is such a teen car.  It performs OK.  Acceleration isn't great all the time.  It cost nothing because my aunt lets me use it.  It drinks up the gas tho, and with the gas my money.  Oh well =) It has such a strong engine though that I like it.  It's also easy to work on (not that I do) but my dad can, and that means no repair shops.

Pros — Strong, long-lasting, cool.
Cons — Acceleration, gas.

I have owned about 5 xj's.My first one 19yrs old and i had a blast in all of them non of them had a lift on them but i was still able to go any where i wanted to go and through anything offroad pretty much.To me they are one of the most low maintance and reliable vehicles on this earth.Thats why i call my self the XJ MAN,I love my 88 xj the only thing about it is that it's a 4cil and i can feel the diference from the 6cil.Although the 4cil is better on gas i kinda mis the power of the 6cil,but the gas factor is good for my wallet because i work in construction(carpenter)and i always have to be driving to difrent sides of town.this is the first 4cil xj that i own and eventhough it has less power than the 6cil i still love it and iwant to put a 4" susp lift on it and 32-11.50's on black rims.

The first car i had in canada. 4 litre cherokee 3 door in white. jacked up and big tyres made it look good and it really could handle the off road stuff well. spent ages in the local sand quarry!

Pros — off road ability
Cons — on road ability & ridiculous fuel consumption
