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.

Dirt Every Day tries to find the best 4x4 for under $4k

Mon, 25 Aug 2014

If you want to build a cheap truck that can still do dirty deeds off the beaten path, it's best to start with solid axles and a solid V8 engine. That sums up the lessons learned after watching the 2014 Cheap Truck Challenge from the Dirt Every Day video crew, who took to the deserts and surrounding areas near Reno, NV, in an attempt to find the best 4x4 for under $4,000. Fortunately for us, the whole sordid journey was captured on video.
This isn't the first time the boys from DED filmed a Cheap Truck Challenge, and this year's festivities pitted together a 1993 Chevy S10 pickup, a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee and a 1975 International truck in a series of challenges ranging from donuts to drag races, with plenty of hill-climbing and rock-crawling action in between. We don't want to spoil all the fun, but suffice it to say one competitor was found to be lacking while the other two performed (mostly) well. See for yourself in the video above.

2015 Jeep Renegade brings the cute

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

The jig is up, the noose is out, we finally found it: the Renegade that Jeep has made, retrieved for a bounty.
Okay, enough of that. Meet the Renegade - Jeep's cute little compact crossover that makes its official debut here at the Geneva Motor Show. We recently brought you a massive Deep Dive into what makes the Renegade tick, and we're now getting our first live look at the tiny Jeep, live from its coming out party in Switzerland.
With the exception of associate editor Jonathon Ramsey, who doesn't know what he's talking about, we at Autoblog are kind of smitten with the little Jeep - it's a really unique package, featuring details that really make it kind of special (notice that jerry can pattern in the taillights, for example). Jeep will offer the Renegade with either a 1.4-liter turbo-four (from the Fiat 500L) or a 2.4-liter naturally aspirated four (from the Dodge Dart), with either a six-speed manual transmission or a nine-speed automatic. There will even be a Trailhawk version with four-wheel drive - properly trail-rated, to boot. The Renegade also features a nifty new My Sky removable roof panel system, giving this little cutie sort of a baby Wrangler feel.

Marchionne uses racial epithet to describe what must power future Alfa Romeo models

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

Sergio Marchionne and his Fiat empire have a lot riding on the US return of the Alfa Romeo brand. The endeavor has been in progress for what feels like a lifetime - certainly for as long as Fiat has had the Chrysler brand under its Italian wing.
It's not surprising that Fiat CEO Marchionne needs a perfect first Alfa to mark a return to America. And here's where things get dicey. Nobody would argue with Marchionne's insistence that Alfa Romeo's be powered by Italian engines - as Marchionne himself is quoted to have said at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, "There are some things that are well done in Italy."
If not what he said, then, it's how he said it that has eyebrows raised. "I cannot come up with a schlock product, I just won't. I won't put an American engine into that car. With all due respect to my American friends, it needs to be a wop engine." Wait, what's that?
