I might inherit a 1998 Jeep Cherokee Laredo 4x4 from my parents for my soon to be 16 year old son. It has 132K on the 6 cylinder and had been pretty well taken care of. I know NOTHING about Jeeps! Sorry, I have been a Toyota guy, but need to learn! My mom is retiring and they are going down to one vehicle. How reliable is the 6 cylinder? I thought I heard it can go 200-300K with proper maintenance? Is there a good factory service manual for general maintenance? What kind of PM should I expect on a 132K vehicle...belts, hoses, plugs, etc? I run Mobil 1 everywhere in my Land Cruiser. What do you guys recommend for the engine, tranny, diffs, transfer case, etc? Any trouble spots I need to watch out for??? If we get the truck, I want to get all PM's up to date, and then a mild lift and tires. The Jeep will be driven mostly on the road, but used for some camping, skiing, and mild back country adventure.
