Looky what i found
XJ
Cherokee (1984–2001)
The most ambitious Jeep ever undertaken, the XJ (said to mean eXperimental Jeep, although the veracity of this is not well substantiated) was revolutionary in design: it was the first SUV to use a bespoke unibody chassis for more car-like performance and design attributes. The "UniFrame" chassis made the XJ light and manoeuverable, while the QuadraLink front suspension gave it excellent off-road ability. The XJ Cherokee increased Jeep sales to levels never seen before, and proved to be the single most popular Jeep of all time, with over 2.8 million units sold.

http://www.offroaders.com/tech/jeep/concept-jeeps.html the XJ was never a experiment, but the link will show you jeeps many experiments and the XJ wasnt one of them. It was based off the SJ and replaced the Zj..... My info is from the history of jeeps from offroaders.com
XJ (1984–1996)
The XJ Cherokee was introduced in 1984 as the first unibody Jeep. It was to be replaced by the larger Jeep Grand Cherokee (ZJ) in 1993, but the continuing popularity of the original Cherokee caused the company to rethink this decision.
Designs of the XJ date back to 1978 when a team of AMC and Renault engineers drew several sketches; a few clay models were based on the existing SJ Cherokee. Early sketches of the XJ Cherokee had a European influence, where most of the styling cues were done by AMC engineers (the ongoing debate suggests that Renault sketch artists were involved right after the 1979 partnership with AMC). A former Renault engineer would come on board and design what is known to XJ Cherokee enthusiasts as the Quadra-Link suspension.
An upscale trim line on the Cherokee from 1984 through 1990 was the Jeep Wagoneer. It was sold as a separate model, and had vinyl woodgrain trim on the outside.
Available Engines:
1984-1996 2.5 L AMC I4, 121 hp-125 hp 1984-1986 2.8 L GM 60° LR2 V6 1985-1987 2.1 L Renault turbodiesel I4 (sold until 1993 in Europe) 1987-1990 4.0 L AMC I6, 177 hp 1991-1996 4.0 L AMC "High Output" I6, 190 hp 1994-1996 2.5 L VM Motori turbodiesel I4 (sold in Europe)
XJ (1997–2001)
The Cherokee was slightly redesigned in 1997. Both 4 and 6-cylinder engines were offered up to the last year, when only the six was available. The Cherokee was eventually replaced in 2002 by the Jeep Liberty (KJ), though that vehicle is called the Cherokee in most foreign markets.
Available engines:
1997-2000 2.5 L AMC I4, 125 hp 1997-2001 2.5 L VM Motori turbodiesel I4 (sold in Europe only) 1997-1999 4.0 L Power Tech I6, 190 hp 2000-2001 4.0 L Power Tech I6, 190 hp
