Can any one help me with what to look for on an old Jeep Cherokee ???
We have an old Cherokee that is nearing the end of it's life. We liked it so
much we want another but haven't got much to spend about $5000 so I was wondering what is the best year(s) to look out for and any problems I should be aware of? Thanks in advance Harry -- Every nation ridicules other nations, and all are right |

Depends on your needs and preferences.
91-95 4.0 HO engine 195 hp 96-01 4.0 HO 225 hp 91+ open style cooling system 92+ non-disconnect axles 89-95 ABS equipped have 297 u-joints 95+ all have 297 u-joints ABS only on D35 axles Drivers side airbags 95+ Pass. side airbag 97+ 97+ prone to driveline vibration when lifting 00+ low pinion on the D30 Off-road and street? I'd opt for 92-94 4.0, AW4, NP242, ABS (disconnect them if you like). Everybody rags on the D35 axle but the shafts are slightly larger than the 8.25 (1.18 vs 1.17). The 8.25 didn't getter the larger shafts until 97. The weak link vs the early 8.25 was smaller ring gear and axle tubes. All street use? '97+ the difference is night and day... better ride, quieter, more power, smoother lines but may not be in your budget. The 95-96's provided better safety features with the addition of 3rd brake light (94+), drivers side air bag, side impact beams, strengthened roof etc. This may be a good value if you're looking for a daily driver. Problems? floor pan rust, oil leaks, warped front rotors, leaking roof rack (headliner sagging).
