Cherokee Sport Question

[mjriles]

I own a 2000 Cherokee Sport and I am somewhat confused by the letter denominations. How do I know what an XJ, CJ etc are and what if any pertain to my Jeep?

How far are you from Endfield?

how'd you know i was from CT?

Id say about 1 and a half hours from Enfeild.

CT is so small, you can get to anywhere in the entire state in 2 and a half hours pretty much.
