i just sold my old vehicle and decided on getting myself a 4x4. i needed something thats has room for the family and a decent offroad rig to have fun in on the weekends. i decided on getting a cherokee. My question is, which one do i get theres the classic, the grand cherokee, the sport, and probably others i dont know about. i want to know what all you jeep guys have to say.

The XJ (Cherokee) and the ZJ (Grand Cherokee) are pretty much the same thing except apperence and interior. I see a lot of guys use the XJ because they're cheaper but both are easer to modify.

The XJ Classic or Sport is the better choice I feel. Weighs a bit less and has same body style with only some very minor trim changes during its 17 year run from 84 to 01 which makes it a real "Classic".

just make sure it does not nhave a dana 35 in the back.
Make sure you get one with the 8.75 rear end with a posi.


the cherokee are a nice rig and they last forever.

Nothing wrong with a 35 in a Cherokee... 33's are a tough fit on those things even with 6+ inches of lift, most people will run a 31 which is fine for the 35.

Really I wouldn't let the axles deter me from buying a Cherokee, you can always upgrade that stuff later with a Super 35 kit or...
