1997 Jeep Cherokee Sport

2 door 5 Speed manual (Rare)

Body

The body has plenty of dents/scratches but no paint missing.  There is no rust anywhere and the floors look like new.  There are no cracks in the body.  All glass in good all around.  This Jeep is very rare.  It is very difficult to find a rust free 2 door with a 5 speed manual tranny.  And this one you can drive on the highways.

Off Road Equipment

The Jeep has a 6.5 Tomken lift kit.  Massive adjustable control arms, adjustable track bar.  JKS sway bar disconnects.   Tom Woods driveshaft and slip yoke eliminator.  Detroit locker in rear and Track Lock diff in front.  4.56 superior gears, Rusty’s heavy duty steering bar, Bilstein shocks (the most expensive) front and rear.  Warn winch and bumper in front and Hanson Offroad rear bumper with tire carrier.  It has BF Goodrich 35” KM2’s with plenty of thread left. 

Mechanics

Maintenance is done all the time to keep this XJ in perfect shape.  This jeep does not leak a drop of anything.  It does not use oil.  I’ve driven it as far as Maine to attend the Jeep Jamboree and recently to PA for a trail ride.  This is not a trailer queen and can be driven on the highway at 70 or above. 

Recently the front bearings/seals were replaced.  All fluids were changed, all fluids.  The brakes were recently replaced, front and back.  The steering box is OEM with a steering box brace.  The cooling system is in great shape and the Jeep never overheats.  The air conditioner blows frigid air. 

The motor (4.0) is very strong and has had the exhaust header replaced with a better unit.  The clutch has been modified so you can start the Jeep on a hill, in gear, with the clutch out, just like Wranglers.  Very nice.  The ball joints and tie rod ends have been replaced recently.  The engine has had the plugs changed and is not due yet.  Coolant has been recently changed.

Mileage is over 100,000 but who cares, it’s a Jeep.  There is no earthy reason that this XJ won’t last many more years. 

This Jeep is for sale locally and will be pulled if sold. 

 

Has a salvage title.  Was hit and minor damage totaled it.  Was fixed and titled.

Ford F-Series Super Duty earns Truck of Texas award

Wed, Oct 12 2016

Texans love their pickup trucks, which you already knew. That means the Texas Auto Writers Association and its "Truck of Texas" award is a big deal. And the latest trophy goes to the 2017 Ford F-Series Super Duty. The pickup truck managed to snag TAWA's award at the 2016 Texas Truck Rodeo. The award marks the 13th time Ford's F-Series has been named the pickup king of the Lone Star State. Roughly 70 journalists converged outside at the Longhorn River Ranch, just outside of Austin, TX, for the 23rd annual Texas Truck Rodeo where a host of Ford's vehicles won awards. In addition to the F-Series Super Duty being named the "Truck of Texas," the 2017 Ford Super Duty won the Heavy Duty Pickup Truck award, while the 2017 Ford F-150 with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine won the Best Powertrain award. The journalists also awarded Ford for having the "Truck Line of Texas." Ford wasn't the only winner at the Texas Truck Rodeo, as Nissan brought home five awards, including one for the 2017 Titan in the fullsize pickup category and one for the Armada in the SUV segment. Ram also won a few accolades with its trucks. The 2017 Ram 1500 won for being the most luxurious pickup truck, while the 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon won the off-road pickup truck award. Last year, TAWA named the 2016 Nissan Titan XD the Truck of Texas, but Ford's all-new F-Series Super Duty managed to keep the Japanese automaker's full-size offering at bay. For the 2017 model, Ford placed aluminum body panels into the F-Series Super Duty's body, which not only shed weight, but also make the truck stronger. Scroll down to see the entire list of TAWA's winners from the 2016 Texas Truck Rodeo.

Chrysler recalling 630k Jeep models worldwide

Thu, 06 Jun 2013

Despite its refusal to recall 2.7 million Jeep Grand Cherokee and Liberty models this week over a gas tank fire risk, Chrysler will be recalling 630,000 Jeep Compass (pictured), Patriot and Wrangler vehicles around the globe for a pair of entirely different reasons.
The affected Compass and Patriot models are all from the 2010 to 2012 model years - 254,000 in the United States, 45,400 in Canada and 109,000 elsewhere in the world. In these models, a software error may result in the late deployment of the side airbags and seatbelt tensioners. In the event of a crash, failure of these systems could result in more serious injuries for the vehicle's occupants.
Jeep's go-anywhere Wrangler also faces a separate recall due to power steering fluid lines that can possibly wear a hole in the transmission oil cooler line. According to Chrysler, the vehicles could then leak fluid, possibly damaging the transmissions. Roughly 221,100 Wrangler models are being recalled because of this issue, all of which are fitted with Jeep's 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine. In the US, 181,000 vehicles are affected, with an additional 18,400 in Canada and 21,700 additional units worldwide. A Chrysler spokesperson said that no crashes or injuries have been reported with either case, according to the Associated Press.

Blake Anderson drives an over-the-top patriotic Jeep

Thu, Jan 15 2015

Comedian Blake Anderson is seeing growing success as one of the stars and co-creators of the Comedy Central show Workaholics. Not surprisingly, when you get your own TV show, there's a deep desire to celebrate with a big purchase, a car perhaps. Anderson did just that, but as opposed to plunking his money down on a Porsche or Mercedes-Benz, he took a much more patriotic route. Anderson described his ride as "an American Jeep" in an interview with Conan O'Brien, and he didn't mean that it was from the AMC years of the off-road brand's ownership. Instead, this one is as patriotic as they come thanks to a beautifully regal bald eagle covering the hood with the nation's flag as the background running up at least to the windshield. Hear Anderson's entire story of buying this red, white and blue off-roader in the video above.
