My Jeep Cherokee was like that. Rock solid. That thing ran decent with

It seems to me a car reaches a point where you say to it "You done
good." *Means you got your money's worth.
Some years after that, even a mechanically sound car starts to test
your loyalty because of body, upholstery and under frame issues.
When the bones go, it's time to move on.

My Cherokee had the old style rugged as hell but not very refined
front end. Steering knuckles were getting sloppy, things leaked a lot,
etc. It was time! And my new truck rocks!
