Cherokee question

#1

OK, I've owned 3 Cherokee's and 2 Wrangler's. All have been '93-'95 model
years. I know that in '97 the Wrangler changed(not really interested in a
coil spring Wrangler), but how long did the Cherokee's keep the same
body/drive train?
I'm in the market for another(not sure if YJ or XJ quite yet)and want to
stay with the 4.0 that I'm familiar with.

Never did follow the XJ too closely.

The 4.0 changed to a coil rail system but far as I remember not much else
changed. 2001 has a different short-block called out. Faintly remember
a problem with cracking blocks for one year. might dig through the
replacement parts at chryslerpartsdirect.com, they usually have model
year runs for various bits. Probably the best thing is better OBD.

Thought about a used Rubicon? Those things were built quite well.

I sold my '95 YJ to my son when his Lincoln took a dump. I've been driving
the classic F100 to work, but in a couple of months I'll be in a position to
buy another Jeep. I've been looking for another YJ, but good used ones
around here are like hen's teeth, and twice as expensive.
Thought I might look for a good Cherokee, as I kinda liked the one my wife
used to drive and they seem to be cheaper to purchase. Probably won't go
much newer than '00 or so if I go Cherokee, '95 if I find a nice Wrangler.
Of course, if a decent CJ shows up I might forget my attachment to fuel
injection. :-)

Yeah, it is. Just a bit outa my reach though. Probably worth every penny
to him, but I'm not really interested in something that's that modded out.
I'd be happy with a stock 4 cyl 5 spd. YJ. About the only add-on I really
want is a sound bar.
