Welcome to my Jeep Cherokee Sport website. I have created this site to document all the things that I do to my Cherokee Sport and to be of service to anybody that has their own and would like to learn from my experience. I enjoy taking things apart and putting them back together and my XJ is a great source for that. At the time of the creation of this website I am no expert on Cherokees or four-wheeling but I do have experience with them both and I hope to become expert at the vehicle that I currently own, a 1999 Jeep XJ.
I bought this Jeep Cherokee Sport in November of 2006 shortly after my birthday as a gift to myself for being such an amazing person and for turning 31 and still being a bachelor. Although I have typically been a fan of white or black for a paint color I bought a red one because I heard they were faster. It already had aftermarket Eagle rims and 30 inch tires to compliment the 2 inch budget boost and transfer case drop combo. Other than that it is was a stock Jeep XJ. It only had 87000 miles when I bought it and I plan on it lasting many many more. It runs great so far... although shifting my Cherokee Sport into part-time 4x4 can sometimes be a little tricky(fixed). I am excited to see this Jeep change into my own creation.
So look around and look at all the modifications I have done to my Jeep Cherokee. Click on the Technical Writeups tab to see all the writeups I have done. There are plenty more to come when I have time. If you have any comments about my or your own Cherokee Sport please feel free to leave them.

Update:
Since I bought my Jeep Cherokee I have done quite a few things to it. The first thing I did was get a 3.5 inch Rubicon Express Lift with full leaf packs and install it with a new set of Cragar wheels and BFG tires. I was concerned about a weird sound that I was having and replaced all the easily accessable bearings with no luck at finding the problem. I replaced some bearings in the transfer case and some bearings in the rear axle and even replaced a hub in front. I eventually fixed the sound when I regeared the front axle of my Jeep Cherokee Sport. There was a bad pinion bearing that needed to be replaced. Now it sounds nice and quiet(er) than before. It is still a Jeep XJ so I still have creeks and moans here and there that seem impossible to find. Over all I am very happy with my purchase. These Jeeps are quite amazing and I can see it lasting me a very long time.

One question though: what are your tires? I was thinking about 31x10.5 BFG A/T KO's.
Great site though, I appreciate it
I have a 1998 bright RED XJ.
I've got lots of pictures of it on my site, www.xjtalk.com.
We'd love to have you stop by. Thanks.
so far I have added a Flowmaster super 40
muffler, str8 piped.
It runs and sounds great=).
Im looking into a lift kit but before
i can do so i need to figure out my
rear axle type??
Any idea on how to find that out?
Thanks

All together, it looks like a good deal, because it seems to run well and has very little rust (except on things I'm trying to remove.)
21 years to selectively freeze up has taken place, and now its my turn to get everything working again.
Thanks for the site.
its something about the paint color, i just got a white jeep and wish i would have gotten a red one.
