my 2000 xj sport is finally done. It overheated a few times in the past few months and after replacing thermostat and e-fan it was fine until it overheated again and now the motor sounds like a bunch of nuts and bolts spinning in a dryer. I'm sure it can be repaired but its 15 years old and has 207,000 miles......i decided to put it to rest. I bought a patriot which is nice but not as capable as the Cherokee but it suits my needs. I will be salvaging the Cherokee, I didnt put any aftermarket products on it except tires so not much to part out. Good bye cherokee

 

Sorry to hear. Makes me wonder how long my 1999 with 240,000 will last...

 

The 00-01 got a head that can crack and overheating can be from a cracked head.

 

to each his own..

 

Will the xj axle shafts fit on a 94 zj? i need a passenger side one.

 

the front axle shafts? Yes

 

what patriot did you buy? have you been over to www.jeeppatriot.com? I used to have a 2012 FDII, not as capable off road as a cheorkee, but still lots of fun:




I had rocky road's 2" lift and 30" tires on mine with 1.25" spacer on stock wheels.

I really miss my patriot, and sometimes think about buying another, almost did a few months ago, but the wife's car decided it wanted to be on fire, so replaced that.

 

thanks, i have read they will but wasnt sure on that. I will give ya 20$ bucks for the passenger side front axle shaft BALDSLUG

 

Don't think I would have made an even swap 8-)

 

The Cherokee is already gone. Sorry. I couldn't keep it in the yard and part it out (HOA). I'm loving the patriot but would rather have a Cherokee in new condition with under 40k miles.
