I purchased this 1996 Jeep Cherokee XJ with the vision of restoring it to its former glory, and it’s been a rewarding project. With countless upgrades and new components, this Jeep runs and drives great, feeling solid and reliable on the road. I’ve invested a lot of time and effort into fine-tuning nearly every aspect, from the brakes and suspension to the cooling and A/C systems. This Cherokee has been brought back to life with care and attention to detail. However, with my family growing, it’s simply become too small to meet our needs. As much as I’d love to keep it, it’s time to find a larger vehicle that can accommodate us all. Letting go isn’t easy, but I hope it finds a home with someone who will enjoy it as much as I have.
