Exclamation What Makes the models different???

I have bought a 2000 Jeep Cherokee 4dr 4x4 with the Straight 6 and it has the sport badges. It also has the automatic Tranny and the lever for 4wheel drive. it also has automatic locking hubs and fog lights it also has the Tow package . I am unsure how i can tell if its really a sport of those are fake badges??? Help ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

Doesn't really matter as pretty much everything was optional. If you want to know what was on there from the factory you can request a build sheet from Chrysler. Just send them your VIN here and ask: http://www.jeep.com/wccsapp/universa...ull&category=U

My 1999 Sport had a tape deck, aluminum Ecco rims, manual tranny, NP231, air conditioning, fabric seats, and heated mirrors.

BTW there's nothing "automatic" or "locking" about the hubs. The rims are basically bolted to the axle shafts.

My 98 has cloth with vinyl side.

I was going to recommend the same thing. Get the build sheet.
Like salad said just about everything was an option.

Depends on the context and what he "said". In the XJs you just engage the transfer case lever and you're in 4WD. No need to go outside and lock the hubs because they don't work like that. Limited slip was also an optional feature. There should be a sticker inthe glove box or a tag on the rear diff. Build sheet will tell all

What's the real difference? I'm new to jeeps I've only owned Chevys. I mean it doesn't make a huge difference but my girl claims that car seats wont fit and stuff along with a dog in the front.
