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. |

Jeep Grand Cherokee in headliner fire probe
Fri, 23 Aug 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching an investigation into 146,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs from the 2012 model year, The Detroit News reports. This comes as the result of the government safety agency receiving three complaints from owners who cited fires inside the Jeep's cabin.
According to the report, NHTSA says:
"The customers reported a burning odor and visible smoke coming from the headliner while the vehicle was being driven. This was followed by flames from the headliner itself. Customers lowered the windows in an effort to clear the smoke but this increased the fire's intensity. All three vehicles had to be extinguished with a fire extinguisher or by the fire department as they continued to burn after the vehicle was turned off."
Jeep Cherokee sales rival Wrangler after two months
Sun, 29 Dec 2013In our First Drive article on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee we said, "our informal and thoroughly unscientific opinion is they're going to sell tons of them. Why? Because it is very good." So far, it appears the public concurs. Of course, it's very early - the new compact utility has logged just one month of confirmed sales, but Larry Vellequette at Automotive News says dealers have told him that the second month of sales will be even better, a message that mirrors what we've heard from company execs.
In its first, severely truncated month on sale, the Cherokee sold 579 units. With all of November to play with, though, dealers moved 10,169 of them - compared to 11,753 Wranglers and 14,798 Grand Cherokees. That helped propel Jeep to a 30-percent year-on-year improvement for the month, Chrysler Group to a 16-percent improvement and the group's 44th consecutive month of sales growth, exceeding analyst expectations in posting its best November numbers since 2007.
If it can just keep replicating the its first month of sales, the finalist in North American Truck of the Year voting will smoke the trade done by the outgoing Liberty, which didn't break 7,900 units in a month in the last four years of its life (and normally didn't get close to even that). In March this year, Chrysler said it wants to build 250,000 Cherokees in its Toledo assembly plant for global sales. It's early yet, but with second-month sales quoted as being as "strong as death," the bookies might be resetting the odds.
This American Life spends a week selling Jeeps in Long Island
Thu, 19 Dec 2013So you think you know car dealers? Well, maybe you do, but This American Life spent a month at Town and Country Jeep Chrysler Doge Ram in Long Island to give us a behind-the-scenes look (or listen, since it's a radio program) at what it's like to be a car dealer.
Yes, there's a lot of swearing in thick New York accents, frustration, confusion, and generally it's a madhouse at the dealership. But that's understandable when the sales staff has to sell 129 vehicles in October in order to get an $85,000 manufacturer bonus - with several other Jeep dealerships within a 10-mile radius.
The episode, 129 Cars, is worth a listen, but make sure you have 71 minutes to spare if you want to get through it in one sitting. Head here for the unedited version or here for the bleeped version (which is 58 minutes long).
