The subject of the project is a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo, I6 w/SelecTrac.

Known Obstacles:
1. Not running
2. 130K miles
3. Came from NY; lots of rust underneath
4. No maintenance records
5. It's in the next town over. Update: Had it towed to my apartment.

Reasons to take this on:
1. It was free
2. I always wanted a Jeep
3. I like a challenge
4. Need a vehicle for camping and tubing trips
