Me and the missus are devout XJ lovers.
Me with my lifted 94 Sport and her with her lifted 91 Laredo.
Well that WAS until recently, after a bad connecting rod issue and replacement of the entire 91, and the 6mo of work that followed: we no longer have TWO XJ's.
Her 91 Laredo has been replaced.
With a 99 WJ
Found this little beauty on craigslist for $2000.
Needed a radiator.

The rundown:
1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited
4.7L V8 with 188,000 mi
FULLY loaded
Leather interior
Heated power seats
AM/FM/Cass/10 CD Changer (Infinity Gold System w/ amp)
Factory sunroof
and tons of other "stuff"
So far what has been done:
NEW radiator
NEW fan clutch
Oil change w/filter
NEW Oil pressure sensor
NEW hood lifts
NEW glass hatch lifts
(2) NEW taillight housings w/ sockets
NEW front rotors and pads
NEW Skyjacker Hydro7000 rear shocks
(2) NEW rear tires (fronts coming this week)
NEW pass. side headlight assembly
TO DO:
ADDCO 1" rear swaybar
Front shocks
Front CV axle boot (d.s.)
Not a bad deal. Rides sweet. :driving: Has enough power for HER.
And to top it all off. We put her 91 Laredo out front for sale and 1 week later, sold it for $1200!!! Thusly, making the new one cost $800
Here's the last pic taken of her old 91 (sitting next to its replacement, of course)
