Jeep Cherokee

XJ 4.0 Classic

model history
In the middle of the 1999 model year, vehicles with the 4.0 L engine received a revised intake manifold. This was done to help counteract smaller exhaust porting on the latest casting of cylinder heads, which was done to meet more stringent emissions control laws. Both the four- and six-cylinder engines were offered through the 2000 model year, though only the straight-six was available in 2001. For the 2000 and 2001 model years, all six-cylinder XJs received a distributor-less ignition system using coil-on-plug ignition and wasted spark, replacing the distributor-type system previously used. Coupled with better exhaust porting and the newer intake manifolds, the coil-on-plug gave a minor increase in power and improved emissions performance over the previous models. Transmission, axle, and transfer case choices were carried over from the previous models.

our car
old love never dies, in 2001 the last Cherokee XJ rolled off the production line and I bought one at all costs, at that time that was of course not wise because I drove about 50,000 km per year. I sold this Jeep again within a year. But always had a love for this brand. Recently I was able to get my hands on this beauty. One from the last series, always had 1 owner, full first paint and 56.000 original km driven. Where can you find that, if you are interested, please let us know. Until then we will just enjoy this beautiful Cherokee with a chair.
