The Jeep Cherokee XJ, produced from 1984 to 2001, marked a significant shift in the Jeep lineup, moving away from the traditional body-on-frame construction towards a unibody design. The 1988-1995 models, covered by the Service Repair Manual, represent the heart of the Cherokee XJ's production run, offering a blend of rugged off-road capability with a more refined on-road experience. These models were renowned for their durable and relatively simple 4.0-liter inline-six engine, paired with a variety of transmissions, including a 5-speed manual, 4-speed automatic, and the iconic AX-15 5-speed manual. The Cherokee XJ's popularity was further bolstered by its versatile interior design, allowing for comfortable seating for five passengers with ample cargo space for adventure gear. The combination of a unibody chassis, independent front suspension, and solid rear axle provided a balanced ride, capable of tackling challenging terrain while maintaining a comfortable ride on paved roads.
The 1988-1995 Cherokee XJ also introduced several notable features that enhanced its appeal and functionality. The availability of a full-time four-wheel drive system, along with a low-range transfer case, ensured superior off-road performance. The introduction of anti-lock brakes (ABS) in 1991 improved safety and handling, while a growing list of optional features, including power windows, locks, and mirrors, added convenience and comfort. The Cherokee XJ's reputation for reliability and durability, coupled with its impressive off-road capability and functional interior, made it a popular choice for both adventure enthusiasts and daily drivers. The Service Repair Manual serves as an invaluable resource for maintaining and repairing these iconic vehicles, ensuring their continued performance and longevity.
