Hunter's Jeep

Our neighbor across the street had this '88 Jeep Cherokee and I asked what he was going to do with it and he said we could have it for $400.00. Hunter had some money saved up and it only has just over 135,000 original miles. Not bad for being 20 years old! And yes, it does run and it came with tank of gas that was 3/4 full! Okay, okay, it is a year and a half old, but .....It was a mess inside and out and there is a little to be done before it can be inspected and registered for driving, but here is what some elbow grease and several hours of cleaning produced. We still need to clean the front seats and the floors in the front with a carpet/upholstery machine, but a MAJOR difference! Don't 'cha think or agree?!

BEFORE

We took out the mats and sprayed them down. They were filthy!

AFTER

BEFORE

This is the drivers side floor! Yuck!

AFTER

The carpet still needs to be cleaned, but this is with just vacuuming and a little soap and water. (Sorry, the sun was starting to shine on us)

So much cleaner, you can see Hunter in it!

BEFORE

See how filthy the gages are. "Oh, I'm sorry officer. I didn't know I was speeding. I can't see the gages through the dirt!"

AFTER

No excuses now!

BEFORE

Look how dirty it is by the shifter, emergency brake, etc.

AFTER

Just look at the difference around the shifter. I took a toothbrush and Q-tips to it.

Oh, and by the way. We had several of these beauties on the outside of the car. It had been parked for so long that hornets took up residency in condos! ;)

We sucked up many of these dead little, stinging critters!
BEFORE

Look at how hazy the windows are.

AFTER

Just needs some "wax on" & "wax off"! ;)

BEFORE

Looking out the dirty windows!

AFTER

It really is a sound vehicle, just really dirty! Hunter will ride the bus to and from to school but this will be used more for work and for dates! UUGGGHH! Did I say dates? He hasn't been anxious at all to even get his permit as he could have gotten it as soon as he turned 15, but he has been studying everyday since he got home from scout camp and since we gave him the okay on this!
