I've had a few, and have been using Grand Cherokees as daily drivers for about 5 years now. I've been tempted to lift them , but I always talk myself out of it, and put my effort into the p cars instead.
They are super handy for a guy like me. They go anywhere in the snow, I can put the family in one, and drive to the beach if I want, I can fill them with tools for rental house work, and I have hauled engines, rear axles, and all sorts of auto parts/supplies in them
Here is my last shop beater. Sold it for $900.00 with 285,000 miles on the clock. 3 transmissions, but the original 318 ran like a swiss watch, and never even had a valve cover removed.
It was starting to get really rusty, and the interior was gross, and all torn up, so , I replaced it with this one, another shop beater, but this one is a little nicer. It has 175 k on the clock. It was my ex employees , and it was his pride and joy when he bought it. I had to put new bearings in the front diff, a few front end parts, and a rad, but this one runs real nice as well.
I also briefly had a real nice 99 Grand Cherokee that we used as a family car, but I sold it off, it was too nice, I prefer beaters.
On my bucket list, would be to build a cj, wrangler, or rubicon. someday.....
