The Jeep Cherokee YJ XJ, produced from 1987 to 1996, represents a significant chapter in the history of the iconic American off-road vehicle. This second-generation Cherokee, codenamed XJ, marked a departure from its predecessor, the SJ, by adopting a unibody construction for improved comfort and handling. While still retaining its rugged off-road capabilities, the YJ XJ offered a more refined and versatile driving experience, making it popular among both outdoor enthusiasts and everyday commuters. Its distinctive boxy design, featuring a seven-slot grille and round headlights, quickly became a recognizable symbol of Jeep's enduring legacy. The YJ XJ was available with a range of engine options, including the 2.5-liter four-cylinder and the powerful 4.0-liter six-cylinder. Its four-wheel-drive system, featuring a selectable shift-on-the-fly transfer case, provided exceptional traction and off-road performance. The interior, though relatively basic, offered comfortable seating for five and a spacious cargo area. The Cherokee YJ XJ was lauded for its reliability, durability, and versatility, making it a favorite among those seeking an adventurous and practical vehicle. While production ceased in 1996, the YJ XJ continues to hold a special place in the hearts of Jeep enthusiasts. Its timeless design, rugged capabilities, and enduring legacy make it a sought-after classic off-road vehicle.
