I was working at Pep Boys today and a guy came in and said "I have a 98 Cherokee, it's a Sport, so it's the little one" I told him they're all Cherokees unless it says GRAND Cherokee, Sport is just a trim package. And he answered, "but its the small one, the sport"

lmao i no this is off topic but this reminds me of when i was on craigslist looking for an xj last year. every other post that said "cherokee" i clicked on and had a v8 grand cherokee. i always emailed them and said youve got a f****n' grand cherokee you idot. not a cherokee. huge difference! and i got some funny replys.... one death threat lol.

Guy: Jeeps are cool, they're just impractical.
Me: How so?
Guy: Well, no trunk, no room for passengers.
Me: My Cherokee has both. It's a four door.
Guy: I mean a JEEP Jeep.

I wheel with a guy that has a 2011 4 door on 35's, lockers F/R and 5.13 gears. Its an extremely capable rig. Then rode with a guy that had a 2010 stock on 32's. First run out he almost flopped it and was laughing. Wranglers are easily the most capable jeep ever produced. I drive my Cherokee because I really like the way it looks.

It's not just the vehicle that make it capable. It's also the driver too. Many xjs can keep up with a wrangler and in some cases out perform them.

being a "true jeep" really only comes down to two things.. does it have a sra and sfa. and does it have a 2 speed trans case.. If it does.. it's about as true to form jeep as it gets..
