I ran across this Jeep that I could trade my Camaro for. Some of you may remember my last post about not being able to decide on what to sell. My camaro or Miata. What are the good and the bass on this Jeep?
I'm sorry, I know I said I'd give up the camaro if I were you, but I didn't know you were looking at Cherokees, I thought you wanted a jeep not something that has Jeep written on it.
Your ego fits, the XJ should be fine with room to spare.
'94-'99 XJ's are actually slightly narrower than TJ's.
Can't see anything wrong with the one in the ad, assuming the handling is tight. Seems well-built. Although he mentions the cat being deleted, which is illegal.
I am not set on just a Wrangler anymore. I am more open to either now. The Cherokee has more room but they both do have there pros and cons. Im sorry to keep posting links to Jeeps all of the time. I appreciate the help guys.
If the jeep was lifted and had the work done by Allsouth it should be good underneath as long as the owner has not beaten the **** out of it. Allsouth does very good work, and there shop is just up the road from my house.
BTW I have never seen that XJ reconing stuck rigs off local trails. Like it says in the ad.
other than the axles its seems pretty solid. I would upgrade them soon though. And to the guy saying an xj is not a real jeep. If you jeep is stock I will invite you to come wheel with me and see how far you get. I had an XJ that was pretty much stock and very capable, I now have a wj that I would put money on would outdo a stock wrangler any day of the week.
So your argument is any capable off road vehicle deserves to be called a jeep? Nonsense. Do you call Land Rovers, FJ-40s and buggies jeeps? An XJ is a Jeep brand SUV, it's not a jeep.
no not my argument at all. My argument is that if its made by jeep and has jeep on the front of it its a Jeep. Again I will put money on it that a stock wrangler could not do as well as my nearly stock xj. As much as it kills you there are other jeeps out there. That is a stupid aggorant argument. Are you saying that a guy driving a stock DD wrangler has more of a jeep than the guy driving the lifted XJ on 35s? Get out of here. That is the dumbest argument I have ever heard. I could say that unless its a CJ its not a real jeep. Then you dont have a "real" jeep.
Now I feel like I wasted everyones time with this post. I now have a buyer for the Camaro coming as soon as tomorrow to pick her up. I'll have enough money now to buy a Jeep of any style and then build it to my likings. Thanks for the help everyone and I look forward very soon being a first time Jeep owner.
Patriots and the Compass are the BESToffroad vehicles Jeep makes. Your TJ's,CJ's and XJ's can't climb a curb.
You wait and see I will take a Patriot to Potato Salad hill and outwheel all of you. And I will have my daughters Barbie Jeep their to pull me out. AND and it has Jeep written on it. :laugh:
You guys are still using capital J's, that article clearly states "Jeep is an automobile marque of Chrysler." Jeep with a capital J is a brand.
I don't see how I could be errant is not disliking Cherokees and whatnot. You seem rather insecure about your vehicle. If I wanted a Cherokee, I don't think I'd be so up tight about what it is.
Are we really going down this road again? If it says Jeep its a ****ing Jeep. OP looks like a nice trade and a capable JEEP. I never see a superiority complex in the groups that I wheel with and seen Cherokees do some amazing things. This is just sophmoric BS.

My grand wheels with a TJ, We've been able to do everything together.
To the guy in here making a stink, I bet I could outwheel you and your "Jeep" in a stock samurai...
Just because you can't drive a cherokee, dosn't mean its not capable. It shares half the parts your jeep is made out of, so like it or not, for better or worse your both stuck with the pros and cons of chrysler and mopar.
i love how the comments like the "only wranglers are jeeps" ones only come from people with crap or no lifts that obviously has never seen a well built jeep
just kidding, if its got the jeep name on it, and it gets wheeled, then its a real jeep.
