All Cherokees (not including Grand's) are considered XJ's.

1973-1984 Cherokees (2 door, full size) are SJ's.
1984-2001 Cherokees (the majority of what you see on here) are XJ's.
1993-1998 Grand Cherokees are ZJ's.
1999-2004 Grand Cherokees are WJ's.
2005-2010 Grand Cherokees are WK's.
2011 Grand Cherokees are WK2's.

That's all the Cherokee monikers.

I assume that xjusmc was just messin so sweet gotta xj. On the username I am on a shotgun thread and decided to use the same username.

PS gota awsome deal on my xj ever since me and my wife started dating I would tell her mom everyday, "someday I will own your jeep." six years later she wanted something from me and I said ok on one condition... I get your jeep. She agreed all I had to do was have her fill out a gift affidavit.

And only a week after my birthday yes. She took great care of it it was her baby. Had about 3" of snow when I woke up luckily on my drive to work the trucks still hadn't plowed it yet. Handled nicley.

Thanks all

It looks nice, but I am not keen on that color. Plus get some bigger tires for it. Those tires look about done anyways, 235/75R15's or 30's should fit without rubbing.
