Hey guys i've bin looking for an orvis grand cherokee to have as a nice dd and weekend trail rig. I've looked at 2 this past week and have come up with nothing. Posting this hoping somebody will see a clean one for sale. Not interested in high mileage ones. V8 or 4.O dont matter just want a clean one. Thanks guys...........shot me an email if you find one [email protected]
 
that lifted one is real and they did come with the 4.O and the 5.2. Thanks for the links guys. That lifted one is very nice. He's a good bit of ways away but im willing to travel for a nice one.
 
The Orvis Edition (1995–1997)

1996 Grand Cherokee OrvisThe Orvis (1995–1997)[5] was a Grand Cherokee Limited package that featured an exterior color scheme of Moss Green, or in 1997 the (less common) Light Driftwood, with roan red and maize side strip accents (1995). Moss Green paint accents on the road wheels (matching the moss green body color) and the special "Orvis" brand badging were the only significant exterior visual differences. In performance, the 5.2 V8 engine became standard, but was available with a 4.0 inline 6-cylinder engine. Also, all Orvis editions were installed with tow hooks and the Up-Country suspension group. However, the interior was special. Two-tone green and tan leather seats were complemented with roan red accent piping and Orvis insignia. There was a slight difference between the 1996 and 1997 years' interior compared to each other. The 1996 had a black dash where the 1997 had a tan dash, The Orvis Edition luxury trim package was optional on the Limited version, and when equipped with all the other options was the most expensive of all the Grand Cherokee versions until 1998 when the 5.9 Limited was introduced.

Production numbers of the Orvis Editions are:

1995- 10,020
1996- 2,341
1997- 2,733
 
I drove a long way to get my XJ, basically a 12 hour day, but it was worth it. I was looking all over the country. I figured a plane ticket was even worth it for the right rig.

I'm right out straight this weekend, but I can try to get in touch with him for you and set up a time to look it over. I don't know that much about the Orvis edition, but a couple of guys in the ME4X4 club would ride with me.

Get in touch with him, tell him I'll check it out for you. See if he can give you the history on it and maybe do a carfax.

Let me know...If you're interested, I'd be glad to help you out.

EDIT: I just sent him an email, I'll post his response....

Well it's not a big deal if you are interested, I don't mind to help someone else and I'll be traveling to Brunswick for meetings soon. I guess I'll go see it and report back if I'm in the area.
 
searchtempest.com will search all craigslist listings within a given amount of miles from an area code....might be helpful

I used that a lot when I was looking for the XJ.

Jaxed.com worked good, too, just click on Mashed and select vehicles. I put in Cherokee lifted and it was pretty good.
