This Jeep is in remarkably good shape considering its age and mileage. It drives great and rides smooth and quiet. The motor now runs nice and strong. The transmission shifts smoothly and quietly. Even with 160,000 miles on the Jeep, if you know these transmissions then you know that it will likely outlast the Jeep as a whole. The brakes are firm and quiet. The interior is completely clean and the only place that shows any signs of wear is around the drivers seat. The overland is rare and the highest trim level that Jeep offered on the WJ Grand Cherokee so it has all the options, and everything still works.
I bought this Jeep from its second owner outside of Chicago. When I purchased the Jeep, the motor was torn apart by the dealer due to a cracked valve seat that fell into cylinder 2 (the front cylinder on the passenger side). This not only did damage to the piston and head, but also sent pieces of the crushed valve seat up into the intake manifold that then worked their way into cylinder 1 (front cylinder on the driver side) causing similar damage. Fortunately, the pieces had lodged themselves into the softer aluminum of the pistons and heads, which saved both cylinder walls from being scored or scratched. Unfortunately, this meant that the two pistons and both heads needed to be replaced. Since the motor was mostly taken apart, I figured it would be better to pull it out of the jeep and completely go through it and rebuild it. The engine now has all new tri-metal bearings, new piston rings, new oil pickup tube, new timing set (gears, chains, chain guides, tensioners) and new gaskets all around. The heads have been replaced with used ones, but both have been gone through and refreshed.
Despite all the good things about this Jeep, there are a couple bad things. For starters, The windshield has cracked from the cold this winter. WJ Grand Cherokees are common enough that the windshield can be easily and readily replaced relatively cheap. When I had purchased this jeep there was some surface rust on the rock rails and around the antenna and some cancerous rust at the lower corner on the driver side behind the rear door. On the rock rails, I was able to sand away the rust and repaint them flat black which turned out great. The other two spots, however, didn't turn out quite as good. I was able to completely remove the rust from both spots and get them painted but there are still some blemishes left from my lack of skill (both pictured above). The paint around the antenna turned out really smooth and clean, however, there are some paint lines that appeared only after polishing the clear coat. On the lower corner on the drivers side, the metal was quite pitted and rotten from the rust. I was able to remove the rust and clean up the metal. I did my best, and tried everything short of cutting out the corner and welding in new metal, but I was unable to get the surface perfectly smooth. Luckily, both these issues aren't very noticeable unless you knew what to look for.
You may notice in the pictures that there aren't windshield wipers on the arms. The wipers were shot and both front and rear wipers have all been replaced with new wipers. I just hadn't gotten them on yet while taking the pictures.
