1999 Jeep Cherokee Classic XJ
167, 670 miles
1999 Jeep Cherokee Classic XJ 4x4 with many upgraded aftermarket parts for daily driving or moderate-to-extreme offroad use. 167, 670 miles.
It has been very well maintained and cared for, and has over $20K in upgrades. This Jeep is equipped with the desired combination of bullet-proof 4.0 liter inline-6 motor, AW4 automatic transmission, NP231 transfer case, high pinion D30 front axle, Chrysler 8.25 rear axle, 4 wheel disk brakes, air conditioning, cruise control, and many quality upgrades listed below. The Classic model is equipped with painted trim, cruise control, tilt wheel, power windows and door locks, and cloth seats.
This Jeep has been built for regular highway use, as well as challenging trails and has driven the Rubicon Trail and other extreme terrain found at Big Bear, California, Parker, Arizona, and Moab, Utah. I have also set this up with front axle hubs and dedicated towing lights for easy flat towing behind your motor home or truck. I have prices and replacement dates/mileage for all upgrades and maintenance listed below.
Engine:
Bulletproof 4.0L I6 motor with Brown Dog motor mounts, stainless steel header, K&N drop-in air filter, and Magnaflow exhaust. Starter, alternator, radiator hoses, ignition switch relay, cap, rotor, plugs, and wires, idle air controller, CPS sensor, and oxygen sensors have been all replaced recently. Rear main seal has been replaced.
Drivetrain:
AW4 auto transmission, NP231 transfer case with Advance Adapters SYE, corrected speedo gear, rear Advance Adapters CV driveshaft, and Sac Drivelines long travel HD front driveshaft with Spicer u-joints.
Suspension:
Jeep suspension has been replaced with a 5.5” Rubicon Express 6200 Long Arm lift kit with 6300 full leaf packs, HD Offroad Engineering rear shackle relocation kit, JKS Industries adjustable coil over spacers (ACOS), Prothane bump stops, and Rubicon Express swaybar disconnects for greater articulation on the trail. Bilstein 5100 monotube shocks are installed front and rear and provide an outstanding ride quality on and off the trail. The long arm lift kit and new leaf springs were installed at 165k miles.
Axles:
Front high pinion Dana 30 axle with 4.56 G2 ring and pinion gears, Yukon Grizzly full-case locker, Ruff Stuff diff cover, Nitro Gear and Axle steel axle tube sleeves, mini skids, Synergy ball joints, and Warn hub kit with 4340 chromoloy axle shafts/Spicer u-joints. Front axle was completely rebuilt with seals, bearings, ring and pinion gears, and locker at 164k miles. The axle is sleeved, locked, and built with strong chromoloy shafts and hubs, which makes it durable and very easy to drive on and off road. Unlocking the hubs while on pavement sets the axle to spin free, which improves daily drivability and flat towing.
Rear Chrysler 8.25, 29-spline axle with 4.56 Sierra ring and pinion gears, ARB air locker, Ruff Stuff diff cover, and G2 Gear and Axle rear disk brake conversion kit. Rear axle was completely rebuilt with seals, bearings, ring and pinion gears, and locker at 164k miles. The C8.25 is similar in durability to the Dana 44 axle, and is suitable for up to 35” tires.
ARB air locker is activated by a Viair on board air compressor and 2.5 gallon air tank. Compressor plumbing includes a separate air chuck for air tools and air hose for airing up tires.
Brakes:
4-wheel disk brakes and braided, stainless steel brake lines (red) from Crown Performance. Rear drum brakes have been replaced at 164k miles with the G2 Gear and Axle disk brake conversion kit including slotted and drilled rotors and Mopar proportioning valve. Front brakes are new. Brakes are outstanding.
Tires/Wheels:
Five (5) 33x12.50x15” Goodyear MT/R tires on 10” Cragar black steel rims (5x4.5” bolt pattern) with 4.25” offset to prevent rubbing on control arms and to enable full turning radius. Tires and rims were installed at 162k miles. Spare tire is installed in the cargo area in a custom built utility box with tie downs for safety and security. The MT/Rs provide excellent offroad traction and have a very durable Kevlar sidewall, and perform very well on pavement.
Steering:
Stock steering has been replaced with the preferred Currie Enterprises “Currectlync” heavy duty steering system with welded over the top (OTT) GoFerIt tie rod flip for increased ground clearance of the chromoloy tie rod, Old Man Emu (OME) steering damper, M.O.R.E steering box brace, Rubicon Express adjustable track bar and track bar brace, new HD steering box and high/low pressure lines. The Currie setup is considered the best steering for the Jeep XJ and performs better than stock in all conditions.
Armor:
Jeep is equipped with a JCR Offroad front Stage IV bumper with 2” receiver (for winch or recovery equipment), JCR rear Stage II bumper with 2” receiver for towing up to 5, 000lbs, JCR rear lower quarter panel guards, OrrFab rear side protection with rails, and AJ’s Super Rail rock sliders. Both front and rear bumpers are equipped with D-ring tabs for recovery shackles.
Other upgrades:
Viair onboard air system with 2.5 gallon tank located in the cargo area to run the ARB air locker and for inflating tires or running pneumatic tools; Bushwacker flat fender flares; Sony premium stereo and Polk Audio speakers; Firestick antenna hood mount and brand new Uniden UM415 25 watts radio; Lebaron hood vents for engine bay cooling; integrated flat tow wire harness with bumper mounts and dedicated brake lights; 3 LED light bars; new clockspring and alternator, AND much more.…I have every maintenance record and receipt for all parts installed since buying this Jeep in 2009.
Condition is better than expected for a 16 year old vehicle that has seen off road use on some of the most famous trails in California, Arizona, and Utah.
