So I have been collecting Jeep XJs, ZJs, WJs for about 5 years now. I have owned over 400 in that time and have done extensive research into the rare options and models. "Holly Grail" your is not, but an extremely clean example of a fairly high production base model sport package. But, when compared editions such as Pioneer Olympic Edition, Wagoneer and Wagoneer Limted(Significant because they had 4 headlights and a horizontal 7 continents grill), Laredo, Briarwood, Country, Orvis (One of the rarest), Freedom and 2001 60th Anniversary, just doesn't have the rarity. The 2 door model accounted for about 17 percent of the run of about 3 million, if you discount the Cherokees used by Fed Gov and local Gov. or about 510,000 sold to the public. Yours being a 2 owner does put in a very desirable class of Jeeps, but the miles while low for the year are not as low as a number on the market today. Your is a Base model which was obviously the vast majority of these Jeeps as they had a low entry price for the Jeep model line-up. People came in seeing the 1994 Grand Cherokee 5.2 V8 Limited Orvis Edition 4x4, saw the sticker of over $15K , nearly a price of a Cadillac, they were shown the Cherokee 4X4. The reason most of these have now disappeared is because they were not "Tank dipped" for rust proofing and the weather ate them away. Your does have the alloy Sport wheel package giving it an advantage over others since the wheel package was not available until 1995 to 1999. In 1998 when Jeep decided to end the Cherokee and designed the replacement in the line up, the 2002 Jeep Liberty, Jeep kind of stopped innovations to the Cherokee. As for being worth $10K, you could be right, it is a vehicle that has a following, therefore can demand a lot for a very high production model like yours. It's like asking how much are my glasses worth? Whatever I can sell them for! All this aside, I love seeing people like your self who love Cherokee. By the way the proper plural for Cherokee is in fact Cherokee...fun fact I learned after meeting a guy who was on the design team for the XJ. We actually have 2 XJs we race in off road events as well as 2 ZJs. Here is one of ours in the Gambler 500 in the Florida forests. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIaqaGCDaphri5Y , P.S. not trying to hate on your really nice video, just thought some of those who actually read these comments might want to know some cool facts about these old Jeeps.

Thanks for the info!, definitely my holy grail as to what I was personally seeking out, also the upcountry package it has from the dealer with the larger fuel tank, skid plate in front and on fuel tank, tow hooks and 1.5 inch lift I heard wasn’t very common but that could definitely be wrong. They are super fun vehicles.

Also to touch on your first comment the rarity is not in reference to factory production runs and distribution or trim levels etc. Simple base models like this have been most desired for decades to become rock crawlers, turned into pickup trucks, just beaten to death etc thus in my opinion is now harder to find in nice condition than a high trim level model which often may have been taken better care of. I definitely haven’t owned as many as you, I have two now and owned around 9 however every Jeep guy I’ve met seeks models without all the factory bells and whistles. A two door manual 4x4 4.0 with absolutely zero ZERO rust is extremely rare in my opinion, I have not seen it before until this one, generally always find rust or worn interior. The condition is what the rare is in reference to.

From all of my research, I came up with a list of mechanical features that in my opinion make up the "holy grail" for the XJ based on opinions on robustness and reliability. If you can find all of these, rust free, 2-door (or even 4-door), I think you ought to hit the slots in Vegas, because they are RARE. 4.0 L motor with Chrysler MPI (1991-2001) NP231 Transfer case (1988-2001) AX-15 5-speed manual (1988-1999) High pinion dana 30 front axle (1996-1999) *29 spline Chrysler 8.25 rear axle (option, 1997-2001)* Obviously if you prefer the older body style, then this all goes out the window, but from a drivetrain perspective, I think the XJ peaked in '97-'99 with the 29-spline 8.25. In any case, you've got a super-rare, beautiful XJ, that is just about as good as it gets on all fronts, and I love that you are taking great care and preserving it. As a fan that can only afford 1 XJ which is my daily driver, I'm appreciate people like you out there doing what I wish I could do to save these things!

I also lucked out a year ago and was able to get a 95 with the same two-door specs and color for 7 grand with only 89,000 miles. I'm a delivery driver and with it being a 25-year-old car, the only thing that has gone out was the starter and water pump. Awesome to see another one of these.
