Further to my last post, I have a 23 year old Cherokee which is conveniently serviced by my local mechanic. Parts are easily accessible from a number of after market and oem sources, that include eBay.

When I bought the car new and took it into the central Australian desert, it turned heads and Toyotafiles were critiquing it as an unsuitable vehicle while staring at it with envy and despondency.

Back then, I found myself on the Mereenie loop road which had claimed breakdown victims like OKA buses and patrols with suspension and tyre/wheel damage. But two brand new stock XJ Cherokees traversed this bomb road from opposite ends and it was kind of funny that we each made it to our destination.

It is still turning heads today....
