Throughout
the rich history surrounding the Jeep¢ç brand, there have been several
influential vehicles hailing from the seven-slot stable, one of which is the
Jeep¢ç Cherokee (XJ). Possibly considered as the dawn of the modern SUV, the XJ
was first presented 1984 as one of the first small SUV¡¯s introduced into the
American market, which carried on until 2001. During its 17yr production run,
the XJ was built on several continents for world wide exposure, offered in
either a 2-door or 4-door configuration, available in several different trim
levels along with either a 2wd or 4wd drivetrain. Under the hood featured three
different engine options consisting of 2.5L I4 AMC (125hp @ 5400rpm and 150lb/ft
of torque @ 3250rpm), 4.0L I6 OHC AMC (193hp@4600rpm and 231lb/ft of torque @
3000rpm), and a Euro spec only turbo diesel I4 OHV (114hp@3900rpm and 221 lb/ft
@ 2000rpm). In 97¡¯, the XJ received a facelift that updated design queues
focused on aerodynamics, body stiffness, styling as well as the spare tire being
relocated from the rear bumper to inside the cab. The stiffer uni-body
construction brought forth improvements in noise cancellation and vibrations
while aerodynamics improved engine efficiency.
From an off-roading perspective, the XJ has proven to be a
relatively inexpensive vehicle for purchase thus making it a value based build
option, capable of suiting just about any sort of budget. Its bones are strong
thanks to a Quadra-Link suspension system and primarily coming with Dana 35
axles since the beginning, but there was a Dana 44 option between 87¡¯-91¡¯. Don¡¯t
let its smaller size fool you, there¡¯s room for four passengers and space for
days, making it a great expedition rig for friends and family to tag along.
