1996 Jeep Cherokee Classic Sport Utility 4-door 4.0l 5-speed Manual Transmission on 2040-cars

Here are the particulars of the Jeep.

1996 Cherokee four doors – body is in great shape, there is no rust.  I will note that the driver’s door has some dent damage, although the door opens and closes with no problem.  I have included a picture of the door so you can see the dents. 

The previous owner did some cutting on wheel wells to accommodate larger tires.  He did a great job and it looks well-done.  See the pictures.

Color – Red, this Cherokee was kept inside most of its life, so the paint is in pretty good shape. There is some peeling along the front fender, but for an older vehicle the paint is in good shape. It cleans up really well. 

4.0 liter six cylinders engine, in absolutely great condition.  It pulls strong, no smoke at all, this motor had oil changes every 3,500 miles.

Transmission – 5 speed, pretty rare in Cherokees.  We put a new clutch in about 10K mile ago and being an older transmission, we put in Redline MT-90 transmission fluid.  

Gearing – This Cherokee is geared low, max speed in 1^st is about 10mph and the Jeep in 2H maxes out at 65 mph.  It’s geared great for the out-of-doors. No problem engaging the four wheel drive in 4H or 4L.

Suspension – Four inch high country lift, well-done and we put it on the rack recently to make sure everything was tight underneath.

Wheels – Goodyear Wranglers on American Racing centerline rims.  Tires are LT 265/75R16s.  They have @12K miles on them; they’re in really good shape.  We have a full size spare on the rear swing arm.

Interior – Light gray in pretty good shape, no stains or tears on the upholstery.  The driver’s seat is showing wear and some cracks on the side, but it is serviceable.

Maintenance – Both owners religiously followed the maintenance.  In the last 5K miles we replaced the starter, battery, and installed a better Flow Kooler water pump.  On the dashboard we installed a water temperature gauge.

Extras:

·         Spare tire swing arm with a fully mounted spare

·         Driving lights on separate switch in the front and twin back up lights on another switch – it’s great to have these lights when you out in the wilderness at night.

·         Class three tow hitch with ball.

·         Side rocker panels to assist step up if needed – these are legitimate well built steel side steps bolted on, not cheap cosmetic ones that break.

·         Roof rack

·         CD radio with six foot antennae 

·         Virginia safety inspection good through March 2015.

·         There are no leaks with this vehicle, the transmission seals are tight.
