2014 Cherokee Review

[profdlp]

For anyone who missed the tremendously exciting game (it wasn't, unless you're a Seahawks fan and I'm not), here is the Super Bowl commercial for the new Cherokee:

(Go for the 1080p setting, it's worth the extra click.)

Here's another one I found. (And then I'll stop - I know you folks know how to do this too).

At least now I know what happened to Yul Brynner after WestWorld:

Good, bad or ugly. Whatever your opinion, I am seeing tons of them out there already.

The sales are supposedly high, I see mostly older drivers.
Dude, I mean old like older than you and more my age and up.

Hey I like em. I'd rock it for sure. Looked at one the other day. Almost wanted to tell the guy I was willing to trade the KJ just for a test drive.

 

[Cherrie]

I debated going for a test drive after PT. But I'm not technically released to drive, but I'm driving myself to and from PT for awhile.

Looks like my True Blue Trail Hawk is built and has left or is leaving the factory.
Dealer says they expect it to be up here about 2/26.
Longer than I would like but she has to get to Tacoma/Seattle first and then its a long boat ride to Anchorage!

Need to change your name to true blue or true hawk.

Which one?

Hahahaahahahahaha!

You will have to see the Alaska plates that will be on it. Were first on my 74 Cherokee SJ when I got up here and then on the used 84 XJ. Never did put them on the Liberty.

AL7FI is my amateur radio operator call sign.

Ok post pic. My friend is a hammie, his plate is his call sign too.

Soon as she gets her, will do. Maybe we might have some fresh snow by then (end of Feb). This old stuff is ugly and not a lot left.

My AK plates are gold with blue border and numbers/letters. They have a bunch of other styles too. But like I said these are "Cherokee" plates:favorites37:

Not sure I trust RRO's opinion. Would like to see a trusted mechanic get under the vehicle and take a look at the alignment specs. But to not be able to align a 2 inch difference leads me to think they won't be able to align these babies after 5 years and 60,000 miles of sag... I'd say at the very least one should be able to lift it an additional inch over the TrailHawk 1".

Had seen this over on JCC. Mute point since mine is on its way and to be honest I only planned to go from 65 to 70 on tire size when its time.

My 03 Liberty is not lifted and it did what I wanted it to do. I strongly suspect that my TH will also do what I want it to do.

For those that HAVE to have it lifted, se la vie!

From some of what I have seen, the majority of our unpaved roads up here can be as challenging as those that some lower 48ers call off road travel down there.

Again, to each their own.

I second this.

Here in the Cleveland area, our PAVED roads can be as challenging as those that some lower 48ers call off road travel. I do my rock crawling on Euclid Avenue. :Big Laugh:

 

[Cherrie]

I saw it after driving to my mom's house. I told her after driving on Beck road, I needed an alignment. Also someone either hitting bumps and losing control or swerving to avoid bumps almost hit me head on. She said "I forgot to tell you not to go on Beck Rd, you will need alignment". I just thought it ironic that it claims alignments will be an issue.

Some roads around here have some cracks/potholes from the weather. Jeeps for the win....

My dad just got one of these in the dark silver. Now that I've seen in person and been inside its growing on me. He has just about every option you can think of and it handled our 10+ inches of snow really well.

That really stinks if none of these companies figure out how to lift them.
