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.

Jeep bringing Renegade Hard Steel with adorable matching trailer to Geneva

Sun, Mar 1 2015

Trailers are hardly an uncommon site. They can, after all, be an effective way of adding cargo capacity when you need to haul more than you can fit in your car and truck. But there's something that just gets us about trailers made to match the vehicle behind which they're being towed. Like this one, attached to this unique Jeep Renegade. Set to be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show mere days from now, the Renegade Hard Steel concept is a joint effort between various elements of the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles group, including Jeep, Mopar and the FCA Style Centre. It's based on the Trailhawk off-road model, but is distinguished by its unique metallic finish, offset by matte black trim and a full raft of available and custom Mopar accessories. Though Jeep has yet to show us what it looks like inside, it's said to have a specially coated leather finish. And of course there's that trailer. Designed to mimic the Renegade's rear-end styling, the appendage will be used on the floor of the Geneva Palexpo to showcase the vehicle's Uconnect Live infotainment system through an oversized pop-up touchscreen display that mirrors the new 5- or 6.5-inch display that'll soon be available on the littlest of Jeeps, offering streaming content including music, news, social media and traffic conditions. We have no indication that a similar trailer could be going into production (minus, of course, the infotainment stuff), but it's worth noting that Jeep has indeed done something similar before. Feel free to read more in the press release, below.

Created by the Jeep brand, in collaboration with the Mopar brand and backed by the FCA Style Centre, the showcar "explores" the potential of a model that provides countless customization options, while also providing an outlook for potential future Mopar accessories dedicated to the new Renegade. Based on the Trailhawk - the off-road version of the range - the prototype is not a simple customisation in aftermarket but a design project that, with due respect to the peculiarities of original models, has led us to the creation of a unique and fascinating article.

Texan finds creative way to clear highway fast lane

Tue, Jun 14 2016

Few things are as infuriating as someone driving slow in the fast lane. A Jeep driver from Texas found himself in just such a predicament near Fort Worth, and came up with a creative way to urge the offending lane-blocker to get a move on. Machine, a YouTuber and off-road enthusiast from the Lone Star State, posted some dashcam footage to his account back in March which showed him stuck behind a slow driver. He was attempting to pass a slow-moving bobtail Peterbilt tractor when he got hung up by a white Ford Econoline squatting in the passing lane. On his YouTube page, Machine stated that the van, which apparently belonged to a plumbing company, was traveling along between 60 and 70 miles per hour along a stretch of highway with a stated speed limit of 70 mph. Confronted with the slow-moving van blocking the left lane, and traffic in the right lane, Machine called the number on the back of the Econoline and politely asked him to get out of the way. In the Econoline, the passenger picked up and was momentarily confused as Machine asked him to ask his driver to move out of the lane and let traffic pass. The van sped up, passed a tractor-trailer, and got out of the way, much to the relief of the traffic behind him. According to CBS news, 38 states have laws on the books to punish slow drivers squatting in the passing lane. In five of those states, the fine is upwards of $1000, and 22 states classify it as a misdemeanor.
