Modified 1997 Jeep Cherokee Sport XJ

$19,750  |  Private Party  |  Wimberley, TX

Overview

This 1997 Jeep Cherokee Sport XJ is a clean, selectively modified example of one of the most respected midsize 4x4s ever built. Powered by the legendary 4.0L inline-six and backed by Jeep’s Command-Trac part-time 4WD system, it’s been upgraded with the right suspension, armor, and performance parts to make it an even more capable off-roader.

With 139k miles, a clean Texas title in the seller’s name, and tasteful upgrades throughout, this XJ is ready for daily driving or trail duty. Learn more, make an offer, or inquire today.

  • Powertrain & Drivetrain:  The original 4.0L High-Output I6 engine is paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission and Jeep’s robust Command-Trac 4WD system. This powertrain is known for its reliability and torque, made better here by a BBK 62mm throttle body and Rough Country cold air intake for improved airflow and response.
  • Modifications & Off-Road Equipment:  A 3.5-inch lift with Rubicon Express shocks, leaf springs, and steering stabilizer gives the XJ its stance and off-road control. It rides on five Vision 15” wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2s (31”), with a Vanguard heavy-duty front bumper, bolt-on roof rack, and Warrior nerf step bars with removable steps.
  • Factory Features & Interior Upgrades:  Finished in Flame Red over high-back cloth bucket seats, this Cherokee includes tinted glass, a roof rack, and air conditioning. Inside, the factory cabin is enhanced by a Boss 7” touchscreen audio system with Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto, supported by Infinity speakers, a Kicker CompR 8” subwoofer, and custom cabinet integration.
  • Ownership, Condition & Recent Service:  This XJ has been well cared for and selectively modified under current ownership. It comes with a clean Texas title in the seller’s name, and recent maintenance includes a newer A/C compressor, starter, and power steering pump
