He does have that picture what shows only a jeep frame and steering gear.
No body, tires, seats, or motor!
Not sure how well it gets around but it is a REAL Jeep!

Re: Cherokee power window failures...has yours failed yet?
Rant on....
Of course, all of this could be avoided if the manual passenger side
window could be operated by the driver without going into Park (or
netural and the parking brake for manual transmissions) and removing
your seatbelt.
You could do that in every other car I've ever driven, except my 92 XJ.
It is for that reason alone that on my next (and current) XJ I insisted
on power windows. It was and remains my first and only vehichle with
power windows (with the exception of station wagon tailgate windows).
Sure, it's nice to be able to do the back seat windows as well, but
overall, I'm one who tends to be of the "I don't need that" camp for
such things.
The power door locks are nice, but also annoying in that they lock and
unlock when you start or stop the engine. Why on earth would I want all
five doors to unlock everytime I shut off the engine? Who came up with
that bright idea? Stalin?
Rant off...
