I am familiar with Jeeps, I have owned several Jeeps in my entire life. 1968 Wagoneer, '86 Cherokee, 2004 Wrangler (heavy modified) and the current vehicle: 2000 Grand Cherokee.
Now, my 16 years old son wants to have a Cherokee. Good, I'm happy that he wants a Jeep, not a Honda or Volkswagen.
So, I'd like to have a 2001 Cherokee for my son. No modifications at all, just a regular Cherokee with stock wheels (reason: lower COG and better fuel economy and easier on my wallet).
I am concerned about the 4.0 liter engine, the head casting is probably too thin and doesn't have a TUPY stamped on it. Does 2001 model year have a beefy engine head?
And what else should I look out for?
THanks!
