I've already explained my experience on engines/cars etc is shocking low so I appologise for asking this but................what does SW stand for? as in 1997 JEEP CHEROKEE 2.5 TD Limited 5dr Sw Diesel

sand wedge..........

Haha x2

It has to be a UK thing because a lot of the diesels are sw diesels. Diesels are few and far between in the states.

SW...
Station Wagon, because in reality thats all a Cherokee and more every other SUV is, a Station Wagon, just doesn't sound as cool and S.U.V. or what I hate "Truck" its not a friggen truck. But I laugh at everyone that calls a SW a Truck too.
From the Lowly Kia Sportage, the over sized Ford Expedition.
Trucks have beds and no rear hatch/door, so its a SW.

Thanks for the replies guys - there's pleanty more questions on the way!

wrong it stands for short wheel base... in the uk the also sell LW for commerical reasons... that stands for Long wheelbase...

hope this clears up everything...

I'd like to see a picture of one of these LW xj's
