*********4 WHEEL DRIVE********
******CALIFORNIA CAR******
**ONLY 7800 MILES PER YEAR**
****4.0 L "HIGH OUTPUT"****

 Up for bid is a 1996 4 wheel drive Jeep Cherokee with a 4.0 L High Output inline 6 cylinder and Automatic transmission

1996 MOST DESIRABLE YEAR FOR THE XJ  


This is a very clean California car that has average just 7800 miles per year with just 142880 miles.  The Jeep is a basic model with all of the good stuff.   It has air condition that blows ice cold, the heater also works great. It has crank windows which work great, a lot of these Jeeps that have power windows are not working when they get to this age.

The interior is cloth and is in decent shape how ever is a little dirty in spots, the rear seat has a small tear on the drivers side but is in good shape for 18 years old. It will fold out like a bed if needed. The head liner is original and has some imperfections but all in all intact.

 This Jeep was originally built as a black vehicle. This Jeep was owned by a San Francisco Executive in Orinda, California, and has never been abused and  that was used by each of his 3 daughters who were 3 years apart each.  This Jeep was in the high school parking lot for over 9 years. When it came time for the third daughter to get a new vehicle she was told she was getting a new car and all she had to do was pick a color. She picked White. Dad paid to have this black Cherokee color changed to white. It is a high quality base coat clear coat  that looks very clean with no damage or or evidence of damage repair. The car is very clean however the door jambs and under the hood are still original black .

the interior is in decent shape for the age of the vehicle, it does have some stains and a small tear on the left side of the rear bench, the headliner is torn in a few spots , the dash is super clean as are the door panels, the Jeep has the optional deep tented glass.

 


 

 


This Jeep runs great, the 4.0 "HIGH OUTPUT” fires right up and has surprising low end power. IT pulls strong in every gear, the transfer case works like new and has seen hardly any use. It has been tested and shifts like new. It has always been overly serviced by Orinda motors and mechanically in great shape.


LET'S SEE HOW SHE RUNS


  

 



SOLID CALIFORNIA CAR

 

 

  

The Jeep Cherokee (XJ) is a unibody (monocoque) compact SUV that was developed and produced by the Jeep division of American Motors, and continued to be built and marketed by Chrysler after 1987. It shared the name of the original full-size SJ model, but without a body-on-frame chassis, and set the stage for the modern sport utility vehicle (SUV). The XJ's innovative appearance and sales popularity spawned important imitators as other automakers began to notice that this model began replacing regular cars. It was built in Toledo, Ohio

The XJ Jeep has been described as one of the 20 greatest cars of all time, and "possibly the best SUV shape of all time, it is the paradigmatic model to which other designers have since aspired".

Due to its toughness and reliability, the XJ was also selected in 2011 as one of "10 cars that refuse to die"

  In 1991, a Chrysler fuel injection system replaced the RENIX system, and the intake ports were raised approximately .125 in (3.2 mm) for a better entry radius. Chrysler also enlarged the throttle body and redesigned the intake and exhaust manifolds for more efficiency, and the fuel injectors were replaced with higher flow units. Camshaft timing was also changed. The net result was an engine that made 190 hp (142 kW; 193 PS) and 225 lb·ft (305 N·m). Badging on most Jeeps equipped with this engine read "4.0 Litre HIGH OUTPUT." The new cam profile combined with altered computer programming eliminated the need for an EGR valve and knock sensor .

 1996, the engine block was redesigned for greater strength. The new block had more webbing and a stud girdle for added rigidity of the crankshaft main bearings.

For 1996, partially to comply with new U.S. OBD-II exhaust and evaporative emissions regulations, the engine management system was upgraded to Chrysler's then-new "JTEC" PCM. This added the side benefits of improving reliability and easing diagnostics.

 

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to have a solid original California Jeep with a powerful 4.0 High Output that has never been abused

 

This car is a rare find that cannot be duplicated. She runs and drives great

Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating

Mon, Aug 6 2018

Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.

Consumer Reports digs Mazda3, disses Jeep Cherokee

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has just rendered its verdict on two of the more important cars to launch this year - the Mazda3 and the Jeep Cherokee. Considering the value a "Recommended" rating carries with the public and the viciously competitive markets these two cars compete in, Consumer Reports' view could have some impact on their initial success.
For Mazda, that's a good thing. CR spoke quite highly of the Zoom-Zoom brand's compact sedan and hatch, testing both models, and citing the excellent fuel economy and snickety-snack manual shifter as high points. Downsides to the 3 included a ride that is agile but "nervous," a bit too much noise and a cramped back seat. Still, the 3 was good enough to earn its place in the ranks of the "Recommended."
The Jeep didn't fare quite so well, with CR calling the polarizing CUV "half-baked." Although both engines were tested, the magazine called the 2.4-liter four-pot underpowered and its nine-speed automatic unrefined and unresponsive. That's particularly damning, considering the 9AT's role in future Chrysler products, including the extremely important 200. Overall, the Cherokee missed out on the coveted "Recommended" rating.

FCA spends $1.5 billion to retool plant for Ram production

Tue, Jul 26 2016

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) is planning to invest $1.48 billion to retool its Sterling Heights Assembly plant in metro Detroit to build the next generation of the Ram 1500. The investment will allow the assembly plant to go from unibody to body-on-frame construction. FCA also confirmed that production of the Chrysler 200 will end in December in order for the plant to be altered. As previously reported, FCA is looking to move production of the 1500 from its current assembly plant in Warren to the Sterling Heights Assembly plant (both are in Michigan). While FCA has not released any official plans for the Warren Truck Assembly Plant, Automotive News reports that the plant will be retooled to manufacture the Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer SUVs. Earlier this month, FCA announced plans to invest $1.05 billion to retool the Jeep Wrangler factory. FCA's current investment plans are part of the automaker's push to put competitive products on the road.
