When we first started on this XJ, it was clearly the latter. Sagging suspension and threadbare tires were only two of the issues that needed to be addressed

Add to this the Patriot's good fuel economy and size (close to the venerable XJ Cherokee) and we have a potential winner. Mopar Underground thinks so too,
(By comparison, the last-generation Cherokee XJ offered 69 cubic feet.) We've also come to appreciate the way it looks, though we think its proportions

Q:
What is the difference between a Jeep cherokee and Jeep XJ?
I own a 1999 Jeep cherokee sport. I am wanting to get a suspension lift, and I think I have settled on 3inches. BUT wherever I look, some places say Cherokee XJ, while others only say Cherokee, and some say both. I thought they were the same. If not, how do you tell the difference? (asked by Joshua on December 03, 2008)
A: You have an XJ Cherokee. XJ is just the more specific code for the body/chassis style. It's important because there were also XJ Grand Wagoneers for a while. Other than the wood paneling and upgraded trim, they were identical to an XJ Cherokee.
Also, there were Cherokees prior to the XJ referred to as FSJ (full size jeep) Cherokees that are not compatible in any way with your XJ. (answered by E-rock on December 03, 2008)
A: cherokee is XJ, they all have a two letter code. cherokee = xj, 87-95 wrangler = yj, 97-06 wrangler tj, new wrangler jk, comanche mj, scrambler cj8, full size jeeps are sj. I probably missed a few. you have a xj. (answered by javelin1973401 on December 03, 2008)
Q:
Besides the obvious, is the 4 door Jeep Cherokee (XJ) better/different than the 2 door model?
Everyone has said to get the 4 door model when looking to buy a Jeep Cherokee (XJ). Is there any difference between the two models besides one having 2 doors and one having 4 doors? Is convenience the only factor because I like the look of the 2 door XJ's but if there is something mechanically different or unsound, I don't want to make a mistake. (asked by BT on June 24, 2009)
A: Dont listen to your buddies, their are a few minor differences with the 2D from the 4D, but none of them involve the wheelbase or track of the vehicle as claimed above me. Same powertrain, frame, and options were available from the factory.
Other than the obvious, that the 2D has two less doors, the doors are also a little longer than the 4D's. This isn't important until you need to replace a door, because only 1/5 of all XJs built were 2D (most of which were pre-97). There has also been stories of the 2D having more uni-body flexing than the 4 door, but is only relevant if you plan on wheeling the XJ (even then, many companies make stiffeners).
With that said, there is no reason to stay away from the 2D. As long as you can handle folding the seat up to get in the back, your good to go. The 2 door is in my opinion a lot better looking, and if you can find a 97+ 2D you will own a some what rare jeep. (answered by on June 24, 2009)
A: is really up to you....What you like! They are the same but i prefer a 2 door just because it has a shorter rear drive line. (answered by charolastra on June 24, 2009)
Q:
Can you lift the wipers off the windshield of a Jeep Cherokee (XJ)?
On most vehicles, you can lift the wipers off the windshield (for the night before ice or snow or when replacing the windshield). I cannot seem to find a way to do this on a Jeep Cherokee (XJ) 2001. Am I missing something obvious, or is it only possible to temporarily lift them a few inches, with no mechanism to keep them off the windshield overnight?
By the way, does anyone recommend any particular brand or style of replacement windshield wipers? (asked by JeepTime on April 18, 2009)
A: you can do 2 things that i can think of. 1 is to insert a small metal rod ( or nail ) of the wiper just right it hooks to the motor. there is a small hole in the wiper arm, and you lift the wiper till it won't go any further, you will see a small hole. just insert the nail thee, and that will hold it off the windshield.
2. you can get a small piece of foam, and cut it to make a small foam block. say 1 or 2 inches square. you them under the wipers for those snowy days.
i like the foam blocks, because they are cheap ( you can get a sheet from home depot) and cut to size. and lots of time, even if you forget them on the windshield, the minute you turn the wipers on, they will come off.
hope that help. (answered by asilancair on April 18, 2009)
