Cherokee name differences?

[95xjsport]

I got my jeep for 750, a 95 cherokee sport, bigger tires, 3" lift, towing kit, brake box all came with it... of course I had tofix it first the last owner decided that he liked it better on its side, all in all I have less than 1000 invested in it including the paint. all I needed was the glass front and side, windshield post, door post, and half the roof from a donor. and I love it the gas mileage sucks but oh well thats what you get form a truck with the aerodynamics of a brick... lol Becareful they do roll easily. I drove a 99 ford exploder and the pos firestone tire blew and I landed it on its side against a tree. Fords are crap right from the start though... lol

another simple question.

I know ppl say that XJ's are any jeep cherokees between 84-01'. Would a 93' grand cherokee considered an XJ body style because i found one that has a 5" lift and 33" tires for like 3500 and im tempted to buy it. any advice here? For off roading are the regular cherokee and the grand cherokee about the same level wise?

Ive been looking around and they are supposeldy called ZJ's right? why does jeep have to make this stuff so confusing for me :*(

o and a cookie for whoever answers it lol

A grand cherokee is never an XJ body style :-) and if you look at any old car, every manufacturer labels their body styles this way. I like old Buicks and there is alot of body styles like the A, B, C, D, etc, etc. Unlike Jeeps, bigger companies like GM will use one body style across multiple names. For example there are Buick, Chevy, Olds, and Caddy "B" body cars. So Jeep is pretty simple in comparison because you know and XJ is always a Cherokee and only a Cherokee. :-)

I have no idea about the trail ability of a Grand. For my tastes, simpler is better. There is too much to break on a grand cherokee. Like I said this is just my opinion.
