The list of small 4-door pickup trucks isn’t very large — a fact pointed out by the builder of this custom machine, who writes: I built this because I have always felt that the US manufacturers totally missed the boat on the mid-size 4-door pickup market. They built some – but they were all weird-shaped, weird-looking, […]
In 1984 the XJ generation of the Jeep Cherokee was released into the public, but it used a modern unibody monocoque instead of the traditional body-on-frame setup of the previous Jeepy things. This meant it was lighter and less clunky to drive around town than previous huge Jeep monsters, but still off road capable because […]
To the average guy walking down the street, they probably won’t take a second glance at a 20 year old Jeep Cherokee, but to a certain subset of the population, this next feature is the bee’s knees. Personally, I’m ambivalent and would probably get a 4Runner if I needed a 4X4 SUV…but, why drive boring […]

It was a capable off roader that eschewed body-on-frame roughness for a unibody chassis that gave it relatively good fuel economy and good road manners. Naturally, every weekend warrior, little league dad, and soccer mom wanted one and even the US […]
The SJ series of the Jeep Cherokee was built by AMC from 1974 through 1983 in 2 and 4 door wagon configuration. The Cherokee has the dubious honor of claiming to have been the first vehicle to use the term “sporty utility” in its sales brochures, although the SJ chassis is light on sport and […]
Launched in 1984, AMC’s XJ generation Jeep Cherokee set the standard for a new era of compact sport utility vehicles (SUVs). Other manufacturers raced to copy the fast selling unibody off-roader and only caught up when Chrysler dropped the ball on continuous improvement. It may have been whoa in 1984, but by Y2k it was […]
The SJ generation Jeep Cherokee was a 2-door ‘sporty’ version of the Jeep Wagoneer station wagon. The Cherokee also has the dubious honor of claiming to have been the first vehicle to use the term “sporty utility” in its sales brochures, although the SJ chassis is light on sport and heavily tilted to the utility […]

This 1989 Jeep Cherokee has been given a custom Cherokeemino rear end treatment and is […]
