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.

Watch the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Hellcat blast off

Thu, Jan 21 2016

It's all but official. Jeep will produce a Hellcat version of the Grand Cherokee with crazy horsepower. We mean crazy. Today, our spy shooters have captured video footage of this demonic creation. It's pretty short, but you can see a dark Grand Cherokee launch with vigor and then brake hard to a halt. We think we detect the whine of a supercharger amid the commotion. Jeep boss Mike Manley has said on video that the JGC Hellcat will arrive before the end of next year. Specs aren't known, but it seems likely that the Jeep Hellcat will share the blown 6.2-liter V8 used in the Charger and Challenger Hellcats. We've also heard rumors the Trackhawk name could be used for this vehicle. In those applications, the beastly Hemi pumps out 707 manic horsepower. Really, why wouldn't you do this? Jeep sales surged 22 percent around the world last year to 1.2 million, the brand's best year ever. Clearly, Jeep decided it was time to add an extreme performance vehicle. Jeep already sells an SRT model that pumps out 475 hp, so adding a top-end Hellcat seems logical. And a Hell of a lot of fun. Related Video:

Jeepster name may be used for Fiat-based baby Jeep

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

In 1948, Willys-Overland, the forbearers of Jeep, built a vehicle called the Jeepster. It was a funky little thing, designed as a mix of the more rugged Jeeps that came before with what was then a modern car, which arguably makes it the world's first crossover. The name was later revived from 1966 to 1972, which means for Jeep enthusiasts, it has some history.
Now, the modern Jeep brand may revive the Jeepster name for a new product, likely based on Fiat bones, that will slot in at the bottom of the brand's range underneath the soon-to-depart Compass and Patriot. The report comes from Australia's Drive, which cites a dealer source that has seen the vehicle.
That same dealer confirmed there is a link between the Jeepster and the rumored Fiat 500X, and that the former will be available in both front and all-wheel-drive variants. The source also claims both gas and diesel engines will be available, although as this is an Aussie site, we shouldn't take that to mean we'll get a diesel Jeepster in the US.

FCA recalling 323,000 cars for wiring, software issues

Mon, Jul 25 2016

The Basics: Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) is conducting a voluntary recall for an estimated 323,361 cars in the US. The affected vehicles were built after September 23, 2014 and include: the 2015 Chrysler 200, Ram ProMaster City, Jeep Renegade, and 2014 and 2015 Jeep Cherokees. The Problem: An insufficient crimp in the vehicles' wiring harness may result in a solenoid fault code, which could cause the engine to stop. The loss of power could lead to an accident. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: FCA will update the affected vehicles' software and replace wire harnesses, as needed. According to FCA, owners that experience the problem can temporarily resolve the issue by restarting the vehicle. If you own one: FCA is reaching out to owners to schedule a service. Related Video: Statement: Wire Harness Crimp July 22, 2016 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 323,361 vehicles in the U.S. to update certain software and replace wire harnesses, as needed. An examination of warranty data led to an FCA US investigation that discovered an insufficient crimp in a wire harness. Such a crimp may lead to a solenoid fault code that can cause propulsion loss. The Company is unaware of any related injuries or accidents. Most vehicles in the recall population will not experience this fault code over their lifetimes. However, should the condition occur, it can typically be temporarily resolved by stopping the vehicle and re-starting its engine. Accordingly, FCA US urges customers to heed the instructions on their recall notices. Affected are certain model-year 2015 Chrysler 200 midsize sedans, Ram ProMaster City small vans, Jeep Renegade and Cherokee SUVs. Certain model-year 2014 Cherokees are also affected. A change made in the harness-manufacturing process eliminates the need to recall any vehicle built after Sept. 23, 2014. An estimated 35,511 additional vehicles in Canada are included in the campaign; as are 7,067 in Mexico; and 43,927 outside the NAFTA region. Customers will be advised when they may schedule service. Those with questions may call the FCA US Customer Care Center at 1-800-853-1403. News Source: FCAImage Credit: AOL Recalls Chrysler Jeep RAM FCA jeep renegade ram promaster city
