Q: Which is more reliable and has better quality a Jeep Cherokee or a Jeep Liberty?
Sadly, it is time to move on from my ‘97 Jeep Cherokee :( We had great success with it, it lasted us a long time and has been a great ride. I would really like to stick with Jeeps and right now we’re looking at a 2001 Jeep Cherokee or a 2002 Jeep Liberty. So which is a more reliable vehicle that will last a long time? I also would really like to get something with a manual transmission so any thoughts on that would be great.

A: Stick with the Cherokee. The Liberty will have a softer ride because of the independent front suspension but the Cherokee’s solid front axle is much stronger.

Q: What is the loudest exhaust on a ‘99 jeep cherokee sport?
I am wondering what the loudest possible setup for a jeep cherokee sport would be.

A: loudest possible “legal” set up would be extractors to a 2 1/2 or 3 inch pipe straight through with a medium sized cannon or something similar on the end

Q: How Should I Start Out My Jeep Cherokee To Make It For Off Roading?
I got a 93 Jeep Cherokee (Country) its 4×4 with everything stock on it so far. Feel free to give advice of how much lift I should get on it and how big of tires a straight 6 cylinder can pull.

A: On road or off you’ll love the feel and the looks you’ll receive from a lifted XJ!

I started with the lift, wheels and tires. I learned later that you really should start off with a SYE. SYE stands for Slip Yoke Eliminator. The way Jeep engineered the connection between the rear drive shaft and the transfer case is a slip yoke. This basically lets the rear drive shaft slide back and forth as the distance between the rear differencial and the transfer case change, as in when you are off road.

This is fine until you start lifting your rig.

Now part of your question was how high do I lift? Well that depends. The whole idea of lifting your Jeep, or any off road vehicle, is to increase the ground clearance to the bottom of the lowest point of your Jeep. The lowest point is the bottom of the differicial, that big round thing on your axle.

So when you do a lift you are NOT changing the ground clearance at all. The only thing that changes the ground clearance is larger tires. So you lift your Jeep to put on larger tires, and the larger tires give you more ground clearance.

With a 4.5″ lift you should be able to put on 32″ tires. I’d have to double check but I believe stock tires are 27″. 32″ – 27″ is 5″ You only get 1/2 that so that is an increase of 2.5″ between the ground and the bottom of the differncial. So that means that with a 4.5″ lift and 32″ tires, you increase your off road clearance by 2.5 inches!

The higher the suspension lift, the larger the tire and the greater the ground clearance.

The greater you ground clearance the larger obstacles you can drive over.

{I hope I haven’t bored you yet.}

The problem with tires greater than 33″ is you now have to start being concerned with the strength of the axles. Also the higher you go the greater the change in your center of gravity. The center of gravity determines how far you can tilt, before flipping!

As I mention I decided on a 4.5″ lift and 32″ tires. Since that time I have cut out the fenders so now I can put larger tires on. I want to go with 35″ tires, but as I mentioned this will require beefier parts.

My 4.5″ lift came with a transmission drop kit. This helps to make things work well until, or instead of, the SYE.

My advice to you would be to look at what you want to accomplish. If you wan to crawls rocks and steep inclines, then lower may be better. I like the mud and I want good ground clearance.

For a good off road Jeep XJ I wouldn’t go higher than 6.5″ of lift.

Q: How do I prepare my 1999 Jeep Cherokee Classic for winter weather?
I have a 1999 Jeep Cherokee Classic. She is 11 years old and has 130,000 miles on her and is headed to a colder climate for the first time after having lived in warm climates and flat land (FL, CA) all her years. She is headed to the mountains and frigid blizzard winters. It’s my first time living in cold weather. What add-ons does she need to have to upgrade to winter (and mountain) life?

A: Winter tires, anti freeze mix half and half with water, correct weight engine oil, 5-30 usually. Highest cold cranking amps battery that will fit. Fresh wiper blades, winter windshield washer fluid. I usually go synthetic all the way, ie. Diffs, transfer case, transmission, power steering, engine oil.

Q: How to find the source of electical problem in 1986 Jeep Cherokee?
1986 Jeep Cherokee with the v-6, I think its the headlight switch because the lights and all quit working after you start the vehicle, and then no lights work except the brake lights, any help?
Thanks.
i thought it might be the headlight switch, anyway to test it before just replacing it?

A: It sounds like your headlight switch is bad.

Q: How much is a jeep cherokee sport worth?
I have a 2000 jeep cherokee with 78000 miles on it it has all the basics along with abs and a cd player. It is in good shape in the body and interior. I was wondering what it would sell for as I currently afford the gas prices and the gas mileage it gets. One thing that is wrong tho is the A/C is out of it. All I want to know is how much I can sell it for approximately.

A: You can check the estimated value of your vehicle yourself using any of the many free online vehicle valuation resources available. Two of the most popular are:

Kelly Blue Book (http://www.kbb.com)
NADA Guides (http://www.nadaguides.com)

Best of luck. I hope this helps.

Q: What is the biggest engine that can fit in a jeep cherokee sport?
I have a 95, 4 door jeep cherokee sport with the 4.0 inline 6 engine in it currently. Ive started having problems with it and have realized if i want to keep the car i should change engines, also i want a flat new engine for it. i want a big engine in it cause i love mudding. my question is can i fit a hemi in it or no?

A: It ain’t worth it my friend, just stick to getting a new 4.0. The 4.0 I6 is a fantastic engine and would push many more horsepower if you get the right parts. Take the huge amount of money and time you will need to put a different engine in and invest it in a new 4.0 and aftermarket upgrades, you’ll find you have saved a huge bundle of cash and months worth of painful work.

Good luck!

Q: What kind of oil should I use with a 1996 Jeep Cherokee Sport?
What kind of oil should I use with a 1996 Jeep Cherokee Sport?
It has 4 wheel drive and it is automatic transmission. Thanks.

A: Use one of the high mileage oils. Stay away from Pennzoil and Quaker State as they seem to build up sludge in older engines. 10W30 in summer and 5W30 in winter.
Hope these answered your question.

Q: How to remove 1993 jeep cherokee faceplate to remove factory stereo?
I’m replacing the factory stereo of the 1993 Jeep Cherokee(not grand) and I cant find out how to remove the faceplate bezel on the dash. Can somebody help me?

A: Most of it is held in with pop clips. All you gotta do is give the corners a firm tug and it should pop out. There are some screws going up thru the plastic by the gage cluster

Q: 2002 Grand Jeep Cherokee will start in neutral but not in park?
I have a 2002 Grand Jeep Cherokee (6 cyl, automatic, 2WD) will start in neutral but not in park. Based on a few searches it sounds like this could be a neutral safety switch problem? Could it be something but a neutral safety switch? Assuming it is the switch, what might it cost to repair, including parts and labor?
Thanks for the info

A: It is simple to repair and not expensive.I think its the modulation.
