A friend and i ran into an old XJ behind a an old warehouse. it's a 1984-1986 with a 2.8L v6 however it is the Cherokee Chief and it is fully loaded with power everything. it has the selec-trac transfer case. this is our first time ever seeing a selec trac transfer case like this it had the transfer-case shift lever like a command trac does but it had 3 settings hi,n,low. up top where the transmission shifter lever is, there is a horizontal toggle switch with 2 wheel and 4 wheel settings does this mean that you could put the transfer case into two low like on an atlas? also another extremely interesting thing was it had CV axles up front. The axle was in fact just a regular high pinion Dana 30 but it had CV shafts. we were amazed to see this on a Cherokee that has absolutely zero modifications. Were CV axles an option in those days or was it something only available on the Cherokee Chief? the Cherokee itself wasn't really much to look at clearcoats peeling hood has a significant amount of rust and rot as well as other parts of the truck do. surprisingly the floors are in great shape though but the roof is rotting as well... so if anyone can answer my questions about the transfer case and the CV shafts on the axle that would be great cause we are very interested about it
