If the adversisment is asking 1.7k and is calling the vehicle a "Jeep Wagoneer Cherokee XJ", WALK THE HELL AWAY. Especially since it has 177k and the 2.5, that is just way too much money. If I'd ask no more than 1,000

 

Depending on year, wagoneer was not a separate model, but a trim level for the Cherokee. 1700 is a bit high for a 2.5 XJ though unless its in very good shape.

 

Its $1200 not 1700.

 

Oh ***** that's right, the XJ Wagoneer came to be after they killed the SJ Grand Wagoneer in '91.

And my bad on the type for the price, 1.2k is a good price all things considered. Only iffy part is the 2.5 engine, you might be better off getting a 4.0 for gas mileage, more power means you'll be pressing the pedal less. I wasn't thinking clearly last night lol...

 

I second the 4.0 choice, but I don't know about keeping your foot off the pedal, I love my 4.0 cause its pretty peppy!

 

Everyone alright after that storm? Only casualty I got is the CB antenna on Raider. Hailstone hit it just right and it shattered. My mom's WK is ruined though, she was stranded on 34.

 

What did you do about u-bolts for the rear axle? I know the tube diameter is different for the Chrysler and Dana axles. Will the top plate work for either axle? I'm gonna get new u-bolts cause their "one time use" stretch bolts basically, but I'm not sure about the top plate.

 

Some of the spring plates are machined to accept either 8.25 or 35 u bolts but they are incredibly hard to find. Grab the spring plates with the axle when you get it

 

My co-worker has a stock XJ with the 8.25 and it looks like he has the same spring plates as me, they both have elongated holes and his is more spaced out in the hole than mine!

 

you have 2 pieces of Cherokee Gold then! some had them most didnt. My 8.25 came from a 93 or 92, cant remember now and they were just drilled, same with those from my 96 D35

 

93 haha

 

Yea I have a 93 and he has a 01. I want his 01 so bad, only has about 105k miles on it😃, you have a 27 spline 8.25? You may want to check that

 

I have a 31 spline ford 9" actually.... Lol

 

I meant that to be directed to Mr. Fajita, I know the changed the amount of splines on the Chrysler 8.25 axles to 29 splines from 27 in 1997

 

And I picked up that 8.25 from your friend in Denver, trying to figure out how I can get it in by Labor Day weekend, may look for a disc swap for a reasonable price from a jy, may just do the drum brakes for a while
