before my X I drove a 1993 Grand Cherokee (actually branded as the Grand Wagoneer) but it was essentially a Cherokee. 5.2L V8. I sold it with 220K on it and running strong - although my wife refused to drive it...
Steering - loose a hell; braking - get on em early and hit em hard, tow a boat - with ease anywhere, reliable very...left me stranded only one time.
I personally would not steer someone away from the line but it's a totally different experience..OK 1993 to 2005 is a big jump in years so you'd expect some difference..I haven't driven the new breed...
Anyway - they look good... Enjoy.
