I recently bought a 88 jeep grand Wagoner. It's the xj platform with the 4.0l. A few things I noticed different so far other than the wood paneling and a few bells and whistles is it has a selectable 2wd, part time, 4hi and 4lo transfer. So does this mean it has a VC? Also is there any difference between driveline or drivetrain between the grand Wagoner vs the cherokee?

No viscous coupling. A set of planetary gears as a diff. The NP242 transfer case was also available in the Cherokee. Both models are considered the XJ platform.

And, it's a Wagoneer, not Grand Wagoneer. Same drivetrain as a Cherokee.

I like em!!

Oh, and bTW, welcome!!!!!

It actually says grand Wagoner?

Got a pic?

The grand wagoneer was a full size Jeep wagon based on the 1/2 ton truck chassis in 88 and other years.

I like waggy's. Full or mid size! Let's see it!

It's an XJ waggy! GIMME THAT FRONT END!!

I'm with you! My dream Cherokee is a 97-99 with that front end.

XJ Waggy. Not a SJ Grand Wagoneer.

I want to kick the marketing idiot that decided to take the Cherokee name, stick "Grand" in front of it, and slap it on a different vehicle.

I am with you guys. Always was fond of the dual headlight setup. Reminds me of a '77 Monte I used to own.

It's better lighting, too, IMO.

Was there anything else different between the wagoneer and the cherokee? Options, skid played, thing of use or was it purely luxury?

Was more of luxury options,The Wagoner name is old then it went to a grand Wagoner on the fsj before they canned the body off.The xj had the Wagoner trim a few years and the zj got it one or two years only.

I need it..... Why do they have to be unicorns!
