The Jeep Cherokee XJ, produced from 1984 to 2001, is a compact sport utility vehicle (SUV) that left an enduring mark on the automotive landscape. The 1997-2001 model years, specifically targeted by the Service Repair Manual (SRM), represent the final iteration of the XJ platform, featuring a number of refinements and upgrades compared to earlier generations. This period witnessed the introduction of a 4.0-liter inline-six engine, becoming the standard powerplant, known for its robust performance and dependability, coupled with a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission. The Cherokee XJ's renowned off-road capabilities were further enhanced by its rugged suspension system, equipped with independent front and rear axles, high ground clearance, and optional four-wheel drive. The 1997-2001 Cherokee XJ was offered in a variety of trims, catering to diverse needs. From the base model to the more luxurious Limited trim, there was an option for every driver. The interior boasted comfortable seating and ample cargo space, making it a practical choice for families and adventurers alike. As the final years of the XJ's production, these models incorporated technological advancements, including the introduction of driver-friendly features like power windows, power locks, and air conditioning. The Jeep Cherokee XJ's popularity during this time stemmed not only from its performance and versatility but also from its relatively affordable price point compared to its competitors. This combination of features made the Cherokee XJ a compelling choice for a wide range of buyers.
