The ugly *** ML, was probably an 05-07. Not sure why he took it out but was capable as a stock vehicle

 

Hey Salad the SJ was made till 91, last of the AMC fullsize holdouts.

 

I think he was referring to the SJ as a Cherokee. The SJ was made until 1991 but only the Grand Wagoneer, the SJ Cherokee was discontinued in 1983 and replaced by the XJ.

 

There is no other designation for those models the SJ carried till 91. If I remember it was a wheelbase designation, or something relating to?
My bad you said that too..

 

Yep. The early ML was very capable offroad as thats what they were meant for once upon a time . Same goes for Jeep with the exeption of Wrangler, obviously.

 

Yup.

 

Good morning all. Thanks for all the replies and conversation but it looks like I may have wandered into a forum not entirely suited for the KL Cherokees. I'm certain there is a wealth of Jeep knowledge here but the KL series I guess is not being well received. I understand that and bear no grudge. I checked out the 2014 Cherokee site mentioned by Salad and think it would be better suited for my needs. Thanks again to you all for the welcome and as Roy and Dale used to say "Happy Trails".

 

Cheers, enjoy your new Jeep

 

I know I don't set them on the pdis I do at my dealer

 

Well y"all have fun on your new forum, thanks for stopping in!

 

Where's the "drop a KL front end on my XJ frame" tutorial??????

 

After seeing a couple of these things in person they don't look as bad as I thought they would. The lights are honestly ok, but what pisses me off the most is that goddamn curved grill. Change anything but keep the grill how it should be! And I did see one trail hawk, it looked nice. I know most of us xj owners couldn't fathom doing it but some dude is gonna get one and overhaul it and it'd be pretty capable

 

might as well go ahead and change the name of this forum, cuz you know this won't be the only new cherokee member coming here. once these are out long enough, new owners will search for a cherokee forum and find us.

i didn't see anyone pushing away the European KJ cherokee owners away... what's the difference?

but i agree, with all the hatred here against the new cherokee, this guy is better suited to the new cherokee site that was advised to him.

but lets be a little more forgiving and possibly welcoming in the future as more new cherokee owners come to this site.

i understand no one here likes the new cherokee, but give it time, it will find it's place. just like the yj did years ago.

 

I always politely explain the difference and send them to www.lostjeeps.com. It looks pretty decent actually, I like their tech section.

 

My feelings exactly. Well stated.
