What she drug home...
Amy hid it in the garage, when I got home last night, gave me the key by hiding it in a resealed box of Girl Scout Samoas.
I went and looked at a few, we were planning on getting something, but they had nothing on this one. I saw it on Craigs a few weeks ago among others and mentioned in passing that it was the one I'd get, if I could. She's a sneaky one.
It's a '92, so it's just pre-airbag, has the high output badged 4.0, a 5 speed, manual window cranks on 2 doors.
In '91, they got the Chrysler induction, went away from Renix (Renault & Bendix) induction that had live/ no learning on ECU, they were hard to diagnose. Increased port size raised in the intake and head by .125" and bumped the HP/TQ up from 173hp-177hp/225tq up to 190/235. '93 up all have the 190 4.0, but they are different here and there and all started gaining weight from SRS and options.
1999 up have 0331 head with the best tuned length runner intake manifold, but early 0331 heads were set up for emissions and are crack prone like the magnums, so you have to look out for them.
They bumped the intake design to keep the 190hp mark on the newer head, but went away from the hydraulic slave bearing in the trans design later, which is better. Toggle between Dana 44 and Mopar 8 1/4 in years and drivetrain packages, so, there really are no "best" years for the Cherokee. It's a hotrodders game.
I looked for a year and a half for one like this, most have power everything and 4 doors, or are modded and beat to death with slate options and 2 doors. This one doesn't even have wear on the driver's seat. Clutch and cat replaced in November.
There are things that I can do to make it run even stronger (later chrysler intake, better exhaust, high flow cat) but this gets it done for now. I have yet to crawl under it to see what it has for axles, but they will all do, for what I'm going to use it for.
According to Amy, this is what I get for building her a Plymouth.
