Ms. Piggy is home, finally.
Here she is on my driveway.
I got her from Customs yesterday and drove her home.
First impressions; Its HUGE!
I just sold a Mini Cooper that was my daily driver, got a Jeep YJ and drive a Defender 90 on weekends.
The Cherokee is huge.
AND, the V8 !, so smooth! so powerful and sounds so lovely.
This is the first V8 vehicle that I have owned in about 25 years.
I also now have to get used to a carb again, been a while. I am sure I will be installing FI in the future.
She drives quite solid, I was expecting a very cushy ride, but she feels almost tight.
Steering is perfect, no shimmy or drift.
Brakes squeak but work great.
Getting a clunk or bang noise when shifting into gear, U-joints maybe?
All in all, I am very happy with my purchase.
Lots of stuff to be done but its exactly what I need.
She is already turning lots of heads, maybe its all the rust?
I am happy.
