FOR SALE: STOCK 94 XJ in NJ -- GREAT FOR A NEW PROJECT

[KRIVRAQ]

1994 CHEROKEE SPORT

This XJ is completely stock. She has been driven daily, mostly highway for the past 5 1/2 years. And the concrete/asphalt jungle has become a bore. I think the trails are calling, therefore a rebirth may be in order.

Exterior consists of Dark Metallic Green with the usual minor defects: a few chips and scratches here and there around the bumpers and rocker panels; a few SMALL parking lot door dings--nothing deep, chipped, or rusted; rear bumper plastic corners are dented in--not cut or torn; Right front corner has MINOR, almost unnoticable, damage to bumper and fender (looks like previous owner may have slid into something, NO frame damage and hood lines are true); passenger side mirror has broken glass from ice hitting it from another car (I have the factory replacement, just never replaced--you know how that goes). All other glass is clean and functioning. All lights functioning.

Interior: Cloth/vinyl has some wear, could use a shampooing if desired. Carpeting is in good condition. Headliner in rear cargo area starting to sag (typical). All dash gagues functioning. Stock radio/cassette.



As for the "goods" :

• 4.0 liter I-6 MPI 267,684 miles -- still VERY strong
• 5 speed OD manual AX-15 -- yeah! exterior slave
• NP-231 "Command Trac" transfer case -- 4WD works
• Power Steering
• Power Brakes
• AC -- not as cool as it used to be
• OEM Roof Rack
• 4 doors

The bad news is that there is transmission trouble: As of now, clutch not fully disengaging, trouble getting into gear. Possibly needs a new pilot bearing. Clutch disc and plate, throwout, and pilot bearings were replaced roughly 3 1/2 years ago. Transfer lube seepage from one seal as well. With the high milage, I wouldn't be surprised if a tranny overhaul was in order.

This XJ is my fiancee's. I have performed all of the maintenance for her over the past 4 years and roughly 115,000 miles. My father, a lifetime Master Mechanic and multiple shop owner, helped with the tranny. I do not have the exact mileage quotes for all the maintenace I have performed, but here is a chronological list:

• plugs, wires, distributor cap
• oil pressure sending unit
• starter
• clutch assembly, crankshaft rear main seal
• repaired surface rust (sandblasted) and pin-hole leak (JB Weld) under windshield top trim, new windshield
• front and rear shocks
• water pump, thermostat, serpentine belt
• power steering pump
• radiator
• catalytic converter (12.06)
• battery (2.07)
• 4 new tires (11.07)

Until the recent tranny trouble, this was still a daily highway rider -- and still can be! The engine is strong. Not sure which gearing is in the rear, but definately a lower end, towing, crawling package, lots of torque! She definately needs a good home from someone who can breathe new life into her. I think this a project "in the making" since there is really nothing to take off, just build it up. I would rather sell to someone who can really get the proper use and enjoyment out of this XJ than to some high schooler who'll beat it into the ground in 6 months, or a tree. That's why you're reading it here. As far as an asking price, we have a rough number, but nothing is set in stone. Please feel free to inquire.

I will post new pics when the sun comes up!

Thanks for looking!

I have been asked about the condition of the floors and after looking underneath, I have this to add...

Unfortunately, yes they are rusted. Front driver's side has surface rust, both front and rear passenger's side are rusted through. I have pics of entire truck and floor areas, but can not post them because of file sizes. If interested, I can easily email them to you.
