curiosity strikes

one thing has always been on my mind though.. does anyone know why they never swaped the "XJ" with the 96-97 crossover? the seemed to have done that with every other jeep

im going to assume because it remained the same chassis, just with aesthetic upgrades and some other changes

this XJ became biased initially because i (and some others) did all the recruiting for sis from the XJ crowd on forums because thats what i was a part of, and it spread that way. to this day it sort of domino'd/branched that way, and worked out that way by chance as well.

aside from that, the xj is a great base to work off of, especially on a low budget...and IMO has a timeless style

i litterally love everything about the XJ. interior, exterior, drivedrain, cheap to maintain. it was the first real SUV and to this day is still be best IMO.

not sure why jeep ever dropped it for the liberty though

yeah thats how i see it, the mid sized SUV was born within the cherokee XJ platform, they came on the set, dominated and everyone for the most part failed at doing so, i doubt i could go on living without having at least one XJ in my driveway love made jeeps, jeeps before subaru EVER stole that phrase from us if ya ask me

Honestly, I have wanted a Cherokee since I was a little kid and when a 2DR black one with no body damage popped up on craigslist for less than I had in my bank account I had to have it.....it then got out of hand.

My first Jeep was my families hand-me-down 86 XJ with the glorious 2.8L and 3 speed auto. After having that I wanted another one and always wanted to lift it. When the Jeep was stock, and I let someone else drive it, I don't think anyone who drove it didn't like it actually.
