My first keep it running car was a 67 ford fairlane, then a 67 firebird, then 70 Ford ranger 250. I never was wealthy enough in my mind anyway to hire a mechanic. My latest adventure involved a 2006 Subaru Outback. Pulled the engine changed out the heads and dropped it back in. I own two Dodge Ram pickups. Had to change the 4X4 02’s VP44 injector pump once. A couple sets of front ball joints My 93 Jeep Cherokee has 374,000 miles on the straight 6. I’built a heated shop cause I’m to cheap to hire things done I guess. Dad said you wanna drive, better learn how to keep’em running. Hats off to all the shade tree mechanics. 🇺🇸

Change the oil and flush the cooling system out on a regular basis and those 4.0 Liter Cherokees can last a lifetime. I know a rural carrier who still has a 92 Cherokee, with right hand drive. He has a later model Subaru but uses the Cherokee from time to time. It’s gotta have almost a million miles on it, doesn’t look like much but still runs good as new.
