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.

Chrysler accelerates Jeep recall repairs from 2018 to March

Thu, 17 Jul 2014



You may remember that Jeep's unusual fix for this recall involves fitting a trailer hitch.
The recall of about 1.5 million models of the 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty and 1993-1998 Grand Cherokee over fuel tanks may finish far sooner than originally estimated. In a new filing from Jeep's parent, Chrysler Group, with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the company says that it can complete the repairs for the affected vehicles by March 2015, much sooner than the previous estimate of sometime in 2018. Jeep predicts the total cost of the campaign will be around $151 million.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk and a Final Four of automakers | Autoblog Podcast #723

Fri, Apr 1 2022

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski. We start out with news on the Lotus Eletre and Ferrari Purosangue. These two high-end crossovers are followed by discussions about the new inline-six engines from Stellantis and an overabundance of Hummer EV orders. Next we try something we've never tried before: ranking automaker blue bloods. We took inspiration from the current NCAA tournament, which features Duke, North Carolina, Villanova and Kansas — very much traditional blue-blood basketball programs — to name our Final Four automakers. Let us know if you agree or disagree with our picks and what your definition of a blue blood car brand is. We wrap up with a discussion about the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk that Jeremy's been driving all week. Send us your questions for the Mailbag and Spend My Money at: Podcast@Autoblog.com.

Chrysler's Jefferson North plant builds 5-millionth SUV [w/video]

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

Chrysler's Jefferson North Assembly Plant opened in 1992 for production of the first Jeep Grand Cherokee, but in the subsequent years, the Detroit plant has gone on to produce some of the company's biggest SUVs including the Jeep Commander and Dodge Durango. Earlier this week, the plant produced its five-millionth SUV, which, fittingly, was a Grand Cherokee.
Celebrating the plant's five-millionth unit, the silver 2014 Grand Cherokee was promptly donated to the USO. In addition to this milestone SUV, Chrysler also had a near-perfect 1993-95 ZJ Grand Cherokee on hand for the photo op. Scroll down for the Chrysler press release as well as a video showing some of the speeches from the celebration.
