THIS… is a 1989 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4×4, finished in olive green with a beige interior.
- This Jeep features the desirable 5-speed manual transmission.
- The attached Carfax history report begins in 1993 and contains multiple reporting gaps, though it shows no accidents during the given time period.
- Modifications reported by the seller are extensive, and the full list is detailed below. Highlights include the exterior repainted in olive green and bedliner, a rebuilt transfer case, a 3-core radiator, a custom exhaust, 15-inch wheels, Doetsch Shocks 3000 Series shock absorbers, and custom front and rear bumpers.
- Factory equipment includes a roof rack, a rear wiper, cloth upholstery, manual front windows, and air conditioning.
- Jeep’s significantly downsized Cherokee made its debut for 1984. Called XJ internally, it ditched its predecessor’s body-on-frame layout in favor of unibody construction to offer a more comfortable ride on the pavement, though it remained exceptionally capable off-road. It was a risky bet but it paid off: the XJ nearly doubled Jeep’s retail sales in 1984 and it remained available in America until 2001.
- Power comes from a 4.0-liter straight-6, rated at 177 horsepower and 224 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to the rear or all four wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission and a 2-speed transfer case.
