Jeep XJ Cherokee by model year
The Jeep Cherokee XJ was a revolutionary vehicle when it launched in 1984. Its lightweight unibody design, a first for a compact 4x4, provided superior on-road comfort and handling without sacrificing the brand's legendary off-road prowess. Combined with the durable solid axles and the introduction of the legendary 4.0-liter inline-6 engine in 1987, the XJ became an instant sales success that remained in production for 17 years.
The XJ's appeal to collectors is multi-faceted. Its simple, robust mechanicals make it easy to work on, and a massive aftermarket provides endless opportunities for modification. The classic, upright styling has aged incredibly well, and its practical size fits modern life perfectly. Clean, un-modified examples are becoming increasingly rare, driving interest from enthusiasts who grew up with them.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the biggest enemy. Check the floor pans (especially under the carpet), rocker panels, and rear quarter panels behind the plastic trim.
- The 4.0L inline-6 is the most desirable engine. It's known for durability but check for common oil leaks from the rear main seal and valve cover, and listen for exhaust leaks from a cracked manifold.
- On 2000-2001 models with the 4.0L, the '0331' cylinder head is prone to cracking. Look for signs of coolant mixing with oil, or check for a casting number on the driver's side of the head.
- Test the 4WD system thoroughly. Make sure the transfer case shifts smoothly between 2WD, 4-High, and 4-Low, and watch for any binding or unusual noises.
- The cooling system can be a weak point on high-mileage examples. Inspect the radiator, water pump, and hoses for leaks or signs of neglect.
