Im getting a 1988 cherokee. Runs and drives as far as I know. What should I grab off of it before I haul it off?

Its a 4WD
 
Has it got a 44, or is that only '87?

Is it a 4.0?

If it's not a rust bucket and it runs, stroke it!

Now, what the hell would someone do with an entire functioning vehicle?

taken from Swopes.com:

"The fantasy of a fully functional Jeep Cherokee vehicle has been seen on the internet for some time, primarily in the form of boastful e-mails and bulletin board posts originating from frustrated owners of Cherokee vehicles. Some of the most spurious are claims of rust free unibodies from owners in the American south, claims of sub-14 quarter mile runs attributed to an owner alleged to live in Australia, and outlandish claims of off-road abilities from the western states of America. The latter type are often accompanied by Photoshop(r) constructions of ridiculously lifted Cherokees scaling imposing rocky landscapes. Psychologists believe that the creators of such fantasy may be compensating for inadequacies in other aspects of their lives."

Should that read "alledged to be from the UAE?" I may have misquoted Swopes.
