2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport Bought a government used XJ 4x4. But it does not say Sport on the side. Why not? Curious?

I see Classic on the sides of other jeeps. Is it on limited too?

All government, fleet, and police edition XJ's didn't come with body trim or trim level decals on them. I have a police package XJ, and it's just the way they came from the factory.

Yup..I've owned a 00 sport and an 00 classic. The normal consumer release ones will actually have a sport badge on the door. 97-99 sports had an ugly decal on the fender

What is thie "ugly decal" that the 97-99 Sports had? I had a '99 Sport, and not sure what you are referring to.

It just had the "Cherokee Sport" along the door, and "4x4" at the back on the sides.

Maybe it was only 97_98 then. It's a fairly large decal on the fender that says sport

Oh yes - THAT ugly decal. That's the reason I would not even consider buying a '98. Seriously. And yup - only up to '98.

Just de badge the entire jeep whatever year it is. If they don't know what it is they don't need to.

Default good question and good answers

Good question and good answers. My own XJ Sport was a police purch first time around and does not say Sport -- I wondered why but never lost any sleep about it. Seasons greetings to everyone.

Most police vehicles are relatively de-badged from the factory.

Police have regulations regarding the markings of vehicles and the space where certain factory markings go needs to be used for police markings.

Thanks guys. It does not bother me but just hard to tell vehicles a part. Like the difference between Limited, Sport, or Classic.

There aren't that many differences in the first place lol. Any XJ could be ordered with almost any option... Not sure why a badge is needed to denote "this MIGHT have a manual transmission" or "this COULD have leather seats" or "the rims you see are supposed to be on here"
