This Jeep XJ Cherokee got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1996 Jeep Cherokee SE is a two-door example that was registered to its first owner in California for 23 years and remained registered in the state through the seller’s acquisition later that same year. Finished in Moss Green Pearlcoat over Jamaica cloth, the truck is powered by a 4.0-liter inline-six mated to a five-speed manual transmission and a Command-Trac dual-range transfer case. It is equipped with a Trac-Lok rear differential, a roof basket, a receiver hitch, 15″ alloy wheels, and the Up Country Suspension Package, which added revised shocks, recovery hooks, underbody skid plates, and a heavy-duty radiator. The cabin is outfitted with front bucket seats, a Pioneer CD stereo, and air conditioning. This XJ Cherokee shows 156k miles and is offered a copy of the window sticker, a spare wheel, the removed factory radio, service records, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.
