1997 Jeep Cherokee Sport 2 Door 5 Speed (rare) on 2040-cars
Crestwood, Kentucky, United States

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. |

China orders Jeep to investigate Wrangler fire risk
Mon, 06 Jan 2014It's been some time since we've heard anything about fires related to the Jeep Wrangler (foreign or domestic), but it sounds like the go-anywhere SUV could be in hot water once again in China. Bloomberg is reporting that the Chinese government is ordering Jeep to investigate the matter and, in the meantime, also recommending Wrangler owners to not drive their vehicles in "extreme conditions" due to a "relatively high risk" of catching on fire.
There is no indication as to how many vehicles or which model years are affected, but the previous fire problems in both the US and China - which led to investigations but no recalls - were traced back to automatic transmission fluid leaks. The article, however, does not say what the potential problem is this time around as Jeep has not released a comment on the matter. The official notice, in Chinese, can be found here.
Jeep Wrangler Willys Wheeler wants mountains, not a stage
Wed, 20 Nov 2013We've said it before and we'll say it again - while we usually grow tired of the endless barrage of special edition vehicles, that isn't the case with the Jeep Wrangler. Every unique model we encounter seems cooler than the one before it, and this Willys Wheeler Edition is no exception.
The Willys Wheeler package is sort of a throwback to early Jeep CJ models, and wears "Willys" stickers on the hood. There's also a gloss black grille, rock rails to protect the side sills, and unique 17-inch black wheels wrapped in meaty BF Goodrich KM Mud Terrain tires. For proper off-road prowess, this special edition uses a Dana 44 rear axle with a limited-slip differential and a 3.73 final drive ratio.
Look for the Willys edition to hit dealerships early next year, starting at $25,795 for the two-door version and $29,595 for the four-door. Feel free to read all about it in the press release below.
Jeep Cherokee Trail Carver is a more rugged Trailhawk
Wed, 06 Nov 2013We briefly mentioned the Jeep Cherokee Trail Carver that was heading to SEMA last week when discussing the Mopar lineup set to be shown in Las Vegas. At the time, though, we weren't able to dive too deeply into details. But with SEMA in full swing, we were able to sneak over and grab some snaps of one of the first modified Cherokees we've seen. The Cherokee is, after all, kind of an unknown quantity in the modification department, being so new and featuring such a polarizing design. We were quite interested to see what Mopar could come up with.
Starting with the Trailhawk 4x4 and its 3.2-liter V6, the engine is fitted with a Mopar cold-air intake and a new exhaust, although it's not clear what sort of power boost has resulted. We'll admit, we were hoping Jeep and Mopar would get a bit more aggressive with the Cherokee's suspension (has anyone thrown a few-inch lift on the new Jeep yet?), but there's no mention of upgrades beyond the knobby, off-road tires. Those should do some good when the going gets rough, while rock rails are there to protect the Auburn Pearl paint on the body.
Speaking of that paint, it's complemented by an interesting graphics package in contrasting black and Crush Orange. The cabin sports Katzkin Amaretto leather seats, along with tech-friendly items like a wireless charging system for cellphones and wireless internet.
