I'm still lookin for a good '99 to build up but I have aquestion. As I have never had to drive/ride in a cherokee, what do you guys think of the roominess in the thing? My wife has an XTerra and it is nice but I have hell of a time getting in and out. I'm 6' 2" and 300 lbs, will I have room in one of these great lookin' XJ's? Come on, all you fat guys, help me out...

 

I'm 6'4'' and a couple pounds lighter. I had to move the driver seat bracket back a couple inches. but sides that I fit just fine

 

im 5' 10" i still crack my head, but im not too bright

 

oh that reminds me. I have to make a custom seat bracket because my head hit

 

lmao

My 6'7" 340lb friend never seemed to have a problem driving any of my xj's. You may want to consider a 2 door though, the longer doors make it easier getting in and out of.

 

2 Door xj I think its got more room up front....but if u need to get to the back seats is hard as hell im 5'8
180 i just go threw that back haha..
But no the xj is very roomy upfront. Your a tall guy so I know you will sit further back should fit...also the room xteras have up front sucks =/

 

My friend who is 6'4" and 240 ish never has a problem, and our friend we call Big Ty who is 6'2" and about 300 can fit with no problems.

 

Im 6'2'' about 250 i have no prolblems but dont try to make me get in the back its a pita

 

6'5" and 300lbs, I always rack my head getting into the work XJ, it takes lube and a prybar to get in and out of the back seat. Tilt wheel will help some, a two door will help a lot.

 

Thanks for the feed back, you guys are great. I found a '99 up near Chicago, going to look at it on wednesday if it's still there. It has 90,XXX miles on it!

 

I'm 6'1" and 260. I have no problems. I do have to have the seat all the way back to drive comfortably though.

 

I'm only 5'11" and 130lbs and have to put the seat all the way back

 

Im 6'2" 285lb I have no issue my dad on the other hand 6'6" 400lb+ has a hard time but still fits.

 

Yeah the rear seats are a bit tight lols damn wheel wells
