Hey guys, just bought a 99 Cherokee sport. My question is: is it a xj? I don't understand the styles? So for my stupidity. But it never hurts to ask, right?

 

as long is it is not a grand cherokee, yes it is an xj. post some pictures of it and we will be able to tell you more about it. welcome to the world of jeeps, and to the forum

 

Welcome to the site. XJs are 1984-2001.

 

this is true, however, grand cherokees were also made during the later years. many people often confuse the 2

 

So true. Example: parts counter guy - "does your Cherokee have a v8?"

No, my Cherokee, NOT grand Cherokee, has a 4 liter.

 

The most aggrevating example of this is when you are wanting to buy an XJ...nothing more disappointing than clicking on a craigslist ad titled "1996 Cherokee, low miles, like new, $1500" only to find out its a grand cherokee...

 

Ok I understand it now thanx guys. I will post pics tonight. My Jeep has 4.5 in rough country lift with 31 in bfg km2 on it. Also a smitty built front bumper with a 8000 lb winch.

 

This pisses me off, like come on, if ur gonna sell it at least know about it right..?

 

about half of the "cherokees" on craigslist in my area are actually grands.

 

Sound like you got a good start into jeeps.

 

Thats turrble...just turrble.

 

 

What they always ask:
"Is that a Grand Cherokee or Regular Cherokee?"

Pshhhh.

Best bet is to go in with a part number so you don't have to sit and listen to that.

 

to solve this issue when searching

search for this
Jeep Cherokee -grand

that will eliminate any posts with the word grand in it. That will get ride of 90% of the grand Cherokee ads.

OP welcome to the nightmare of the jeep world. So terrifying you will always want to leave but never have the heart to do so.

 

Here's pics of my jeep. It wouldn't let upload photos right on the forum?
