Wagoneer or Cherokee??

Camrynz · 10-27-2009, 12:47 PM

My friend just got a 88 wagoneer. It looks just like my 87 cherokee except the wagoneers four headlights.So would it be considered a wagoneer or a cherokee?I guess its a wagoneer XJ model as Wikipedia told me

Its a wagoneer if it has 4 headlights.

Camrynz · 10-27-2009, 04:15 PM

Well his 4 wheel drive dont work.The shift pattern is 2 wd 4 hi 4 all time and N n 4 low...something like that..so that means he has the NP242.But i looked under his jeep and he has the NP 231.And his front axle dosent have a vaccum thing on the pass. side like mine does.So someone changed the transfer case with the wrong one?And i still dont get the front axle???

We are goin to look at the other axle he has tommorow though.

the XJ waggy is fancy i think. and the different headlights. kinda like a old limited or something. if any of this made sense

I think Wagoneer may look like cabin type height body, but where as cherokee is just compact type and for the jungle roads.

littleleonard0909 · 11-11-2009, 04:44 PM

its got a dana 30 in the front, some are vaccum and some are not

Camrynz · 11-11-2009, 07:23 PM

what axle in the rear?

kswiencki · 11-11-2009, 07:53 PM

the wagoneers in the 80s were just fancy cherokees... My 88 had a NP231 for a t-case with a vacuum actuator on the front axle. It also had WOOD PANELING which was the greatest thing ever IMO. lol i loved my wagoneer..

Puertorricancherokee · 11-16-2009, 11:04 AM

Its basically a fancy cherokee with the "wood" panels and leather seats and power options, but same as the XJ

Camrynz · 11-16-2009, 12:42 PM

ok lol my 87 Cherokee Laredo Limited is more fancier than his waggy

nick_n_ii · 11-16-2009, 12:45 PM

Ya I bought a '87 XJ Waggy and parted it out. Rear axle was a D44 and now in my XJ along with the 4 head light grill..

I have a 1990 Jeep Wagoneer XJ. I love it! Very nice on the trails aswell.

i have an 84 waggy

loaded model, with worn out leather haha. i guess they didnt do the 4 headlight thing in 84, because mine looks like a cherokee
