    Here is why i am an xj fan:
    -Exact same drivetrain as the tj but for about half the cost.
    - extra doors for more passengers and more cargo space.
    -numerous were sold, parts be mad cheap.
    -loads of aftermarket offroad parts/kits are availible too, so you can build a crazy crawler, or mud monster, or just a simple overlanding build. Literally whatever you want.
    -hella reliable

      Not only the Liberty crossover (XJ was the last regular Cherokee SUV, after that they're crossovers to this day) was part of the Cherokee lineage, but it was called Cherokee overseas (let some of our overseas audience confirm you that). The 3.7L V6 that those Liberty had was not as good (but less fuel thirsty) as the I6's, but the (VM Motori 2.8L I4) CRD TD was even worse (that TD was put into overseas JK Wranglers).

    The axles in the WJ were made lighter for on road fuel economy using aluminum casings, however were still reliable off road since the axle shafts are held in by bearing retainer plates. The bearings are pressed on the shafts themselves, unlike a weaker C clip axle that can easily let the shafts slide out of the casing if the C clip breaks. That was a performance feature borrowed from Borg Warner, since Dana ended up buying out Borg Warner. That's something to be on the lookout for, between a Dana 44 and Dana 44A axle, the 44A is made out of aluminum and doesn't have the hole in the hub to remove the bearing retainer plates.

      I'm disappointed that they just closed over the KJ Liberty/Cherokee. They are far more capable off road then they get credit for and they reversed the slumping sales the Cherokee was experiencing given that by 2001 it was an ancient design that while popular with people that wanted to go off road was not making in roads with someone that wants a vehicle that is capable of handling rough terrain but is more comfortable on the road at the same time.
