I recently received a 98 Cherokee sport for getting my license. It's auto, has 4x4 and 4 doors. It has 94,000 miles on it and I believe it had 1 owner who took VERY good care of the vehicle. It was purchased for $4,995. And, as you can hopefully tell by the picture, it is in insanely great shape. But was it worth the money?

Body has absolutely no rust


Engine compartment is very clean, with little rust.

 

dude that was a steal! put a nice lift on it and use it as a dd, if mine was as clean as that i dunno if i'd wanna wheel it haha but ya in my opinion you got a great deal

 

Thanks! great to hear it was a good price. I was planning on putting a 2 or 3 inch lift on and maybe some 31" General Grabbers or something

 

thats an amazing deal,do u kno if it has the 8.25 rear end? if it does then u got an even better deal

 

All i know is it's a completely stock plus the stuff i mentioned in my first post. How can i tell if i have an 8.25 rear axle?

 

Just did some research and all i can say is I don't know if it has abs or not, i read somewhere that if you have a Chrylser 8.25 axle you can't have abs.

 

Why would this make it a better deal?

 

the 8.25 is a stroger rear axel than the standard dana35 and the 8.25 is posi trac and the dana 35 is nt,does it have a stock towin package

 

with a jeep that nice i wouldnt take it places where you have to worry about breaking an axle no matter what you have. nice jeep. i did what your thinking, i had a 3 inch lift and 31s when i drove my xj daily, i loved it once you win the death wobble battle lol.

 

i have no idea, i think it has the stock towing package. And i just saw on rusty's website that the dana and 8.25 axle's have a different diff case design. Let me go check quick

 

Just checked my rear axle and i believe it was a Chrysler 8.25. It's kinda hard to tell in the dark using only your cell phone screen for a light. It was either a Dana 35c or an 8.25. But I'm 80% sure it was a chrysler 8.25. I'll check again in the morning when i can actually see.

 

I'm not going to do anything serious to it, I'm just embarrassed to drive a stock XJ around my somewhat redneck community. i only want the lift to make it look a bit nicer and for when i go hunting and fishing, i'll need the lift for the streams, small rocky roads, and tiny mud holes that i will encounter on the way. And if I'm gonna put a lift on then naturally you need somewhat bigger tires on it also

 

the way i found out is i went on a grass field and layed into it and i had posi trac and the dana35 aint got it and mine came with the tow package

 

decent deal. mileage is uncommonly low.

 

I know the diff cases are differently styled so i'll check that, if not i'll take it in my neighbors dirt lot and see if I have a posi trac.
