The Jeep Cherokee WJ, produced from 1999 to 2001, is a mid-size SUV that marked a significant departure from its predecessor, the XJ. The WJ introduced a more modern and refined design, incorporating car-like handling characteristics and a more spacious interior. It was available in various trims, including the Sport, Laredo, Limited, and the off-road-focused Trail Rated models. Power options included a 4.0-liter inline-six engine or a 4.7-liter V8, mated to either a four-speed automatic or a five-speed manual transmission. The WJ's advanced features, such as its independent front suspension and its available Quadra-Drive four-wheel drive system, contributed to its popularity, making it a capable off-roader while remaining comfortable for daily driving.
For 2002, the Cherokee WJ received a mid-cycle refresh, featuring a new grille, revised headlights, and a slightly redesigned interior. The 4.0-liter inline-six engine received several updates, improving its power and efficiency. While the WJ offered a blend of off-road ability and on-road comfort, it faced criticism for its relatively high fuel consumption, particularly with the V8 engine. The Jeep Cherokee WJ was discontinued after the 2001 model year, paving the way for the all-new, unibody KK Cherokee in 2007. However, the WJ remains a popular choice for its robust construction and its reputation for off-road capability. The "Jeep Cherokee WJ Replacement Parts Manual" is a comprehensive guide for owners and mechanics looking to maintain and repair their vehicles, offering detailed information on everything from routine maintenance procedures to complex engine and transmission repairs.
