The 1984-2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ, affectionately known as the "XJ," stands as a legendary off-roader and a foundational vehicle in Jeep's history. This compact SUV, with its boxy design and rugged underpinnings, redefined the boundaries of versatility and capability. Introduced in 1984, the XJ was the first unibody Jeep, a construction method that brought increased interior space and improved ride quality. Its independent front suspension and live rear axle provided a balanced blend of on-road handling and off-road prowess. The XJ's success was driven by its iconic design, featuring a squared-off, angular shape with a distinctive seven-slot grille. This design language resonated with customers seeking practicality and adventure. Power came from a range of engines, including the legendary 4.0L straight-six, known for its reliability and torque.
Moving into the late 1990s, the XJ experienced a significant update, gaining a more modern interior with improved ergonomics and technology. The exterior received a refresh, with a new front fascia and updated headlights. While the XJ would be replaced by the Liberty (KJ) in 2001, it remains a cherished model among Jeep enthusiasts. Its reputation for reliability, affordability, and off-road capability has secured its place in automotive history. The 2000 Jeep Cherokee XJ, being a part of the final model year, represents the culmination of this iconic SUV's production run. Its service repair manual serves as a vital resource for owners and mechanics alike, providing detailed instructions and specifications to keep these vehicles running smoothly long into the future.
