Hi. Kinda really intimidated. Have an AMC 87 cherokee laredo. Looking for the best reference site for replacement of exterior of jeep. What years are compatible with my 87? Mechanic refers to her as "old rusty". I reply "old Trusty".

Check out this build thread for a meticulous restoration of an 87! Crist_Clapper May be able to give you some good tips on finding quality replacement parts.

But other than the Wagoneer trim level on the early years, body style was essentially unchanged from 84 to 96 so a lot of parts are compatible. There were of course many minor changes to and variants of engines, transmissions, axles, etc, some are direct swaps and some can be considered upgrades, very common to slap parts from later model Cherokees onto older ones.

Newbie to the site and thanks for the add. Got our first Jeep in 87 (an 85 FSJ), although we had a "baby" Jeep (aka 81 Eagle Wagon) in 84 that was totaled while sitting in a grocery store parking lot (delivery truck driver swore his brakes went out). Just bought #9 tonight, an 01 WJ. Currently have a 98 ZJ TSi, 00 XJ Sport, 02 Liberty Limited and the "new" 01 WJ Laredo. Youngest Daughter has 2 96 XJ's (Sport and Country). She calls them her mountain car and city car. You might say we're a Jeep family.
