Its a Jeep Thing

My 2001 Jeep Cherokee passed a major milestone this week:

Yes, 150,150 Miles, and it is still going strong.

Aside from some issues with the A/C system and the Idle Air Controller going bad, there have been no serious problems. The utility of the Jeep for shlepping stuff, including everything from heavy dive tanks to household goods is excellent, and its four-wheel drive has been a serious help this winter as it has every winter.

Sadly, 2001 was the last year of production for the XJ for North American and Eurpoean sales, but they were still being produced through 2005 for sales in China.

With luck and continued regular maintenance, I'm hoping my Jeep will make 200,000 miles. #1 Daughter (age 7) wants it for when she turns 16 and can drive, as long as we repaint it pink.
