The XJ Cherokee was a great Jeep. There hasn’t been a new one sold for 12 years now and you still see them in numbers every day. The Wrangler is still very capable, even with the minivan’s V6. The Grand Cherokee can be equipped to be off road capable but is too damn expensive unless you get an old one. The rest of the Jeep line up, including the Liberty, are exceptionally bad or fake Jeeps unworthy of the name.

There are four in my neighborhood. Including my 1996, which is the oldest one (all the rest are the 1997+ with the redesigned exterior and interior).

First vehicle I bought on my own (new - I specifically bought "early" in 1996 so I could have another 1984 body-type), and someone else will get it after they pry the steering wheel out of my cold, dead hands. And maybe not even then ... assuming that one of my kids doesn't show an active interest in having it, chances are I'll try to be buried in it :)

Not to say that it isn't problematic. Like most old Jeeps it leaks small quantities of just about everything. Currently having a larger-than-small, but not significant cooling system/radiator/waterpump issue. Leaks anti-freeze a bit more for my liking, but it's not my daily driver so I really only worry when it stops leaking.
