A Jeep cherokee and a Jeep grand cherokee are two totally different things (RANT)


Recommended Posts

i seriously dont understand why it is so hard to differentiate a Jeep Cherokee from a Jeep Grand Cherokee. they look completely different on the outside and in the interior, and usually have completely different mechanical parts. its not like the Grand Cherokee is just a different trim package for the cherokee, no its a totally different vehicle.

main case and point, i saw some cherokee parts on craigslist (a winch bumper and a dana 45 rear end with lockers) well i get over to the guy's place to check it out and its all parts off of a grand cherokee. then they guy has the nerve to argue with me that they are cherokee parts.

or its also annoying when i go to the parts store and i tell them its a jeep cherokee and they ask " do you mean grand cherokee" and then proceed to sell you the wrong part. i havent been sold the wrong part recently but damn if it isnt annoying if they still ask if its a grand cherokee

so needless to say one word being left or added mistakingly out has cost me time and money all because people are to lazy to type the word grand or realise there is a jeep cherokee.

Haha I know what you mean. When I was looking for some stuff for my 2001 it was a nightmare with online places. However, the 94-98 Grand Cherokees with rear discs are a blessing. You can swap over the setup onto your Cherokee with just a little fabricating.

the dana parts are not stock replacements. meaning it should work just fine on both if i recall correctly. and a winch is not a vehicle specific thing.

the bumper is vehicle specific, but yes the winch isnt, as for the axle i think it has different bracketry than what the cherokee version has and i'm not that great with a welder.

@s15 i saw that in your sig. i might do that one day if i get ambitious

Mechanically they do have a lot of the same parts, especially if both have the 4.0

I personally always liked the Cherokee's, especially the Sport package that has no chrome. I have a thing for boxy, wagon type vehicles. Was never a fan of the Grand Cherokee though, every one I drove always felt sloppy on the road.
