I'm aware of the specs of both, I'm just curious to see which you prefer and why.


As for me, I like the dash of the older one better, but my father-in-law's '98 sure is a lot more quiet to ride in than mine!

I prefer 91-94? The years before the bags. Not a fan of em.

i have a 91 but i wish i had a 98, i just like the look of the updated interior,more power with intake upgrade,and to me they ride better

i like the 91-96 just bc i like the older interior design more...its more rugged and you dont feel as bad when you get it dirty..lol

I like the newer styled interior and better seats and no useless non working vent windows to block my view... Bigger mirrors that also fold in and a nicer looking grill/header panel.

The new intake didn't come untill 99 I have one as my dd and pulled parts off 2 98s bolth had the older intakes. As for me I like the 00. Last year of the high pinion d 30 and first year of the coil packs. My trail rig is a 95 cause I got it for 250 although my 99 dd I picked up for 500. So still holding out for a tard selling a cheep 00.

thanks for the correction

I prefer 91 thru 96 cuz I like the square look. They look tougher than the 97+. I love the 96 Country. Lots of power ,cumphy leather seats and rides really nice, even when lifted.

For me I'd say 91-01... I would look for the rig in good condition, with 8.25 axle, less than 150K Miles, preferably not wheeled hard or modified.

My dads got a 90 and I have a 94. Gotta say I love them both. His seems to have a more robust feel to it though. The thing I like about the 94 is its a WHOLE lot more zippy and fast feeling. The 90 feels like it will never stop but take forever to get up to 70.

was about to say the same thing about the intakes. Though I'm pretty sure that 99 was the last year of the high pinion dana 30's. The 00 and 01 had low pinion dana 30's and the aluminum heads that were prone to cracking. right? as well as coil packs instead of a distributor.

BIG 97-99 fan. Not a fan of 00-01's though.

lol, did you read the original post?

As far as I know this is all correct. After I got my first one both my brother/father-in-law wanted one, but they wanted the newer ones, so I steered them to look for a 97-99 primarily to stay away from the head and coil pack. I think they ended up with a 98 and a 99. My other BIL then bought an MJ, and then my dad bought a WJ, so we're pretty proud that there are 5 Cherokee-ish vehicles between us.
