This 1977 Jeep Cherokee S is a wide-wheel example that was purchased by the seller in 1978 and later repainted in blue over a reupholstered blue interior. Power is provided by a 360ci V8 linked with a three-speed automatic transmission and a Quadra-Trac transfer case, all of which are said to have been rebuilt. The truck is further equipped with Dana 44 axles, 15″ alloy wheels, front disc brakes, power steering, an AM/FM radio, aftermarket speakers, cruise control, power windows, and air conditioning. Showing 29k miles, this SJ Cherokee is offered with a clean New York title in the seller’s name.

The truck has been refinished in blue with replacement black and white graphics, and the frame is said to have been repainted before the truck received replacement body bushings. Exterior details include a “Razor”-style grille, body-color wheel-arch flares, a power tailgate window, a hitch receiver, dual side mirrors, and chrome bumpers.

Polished 15″ aluminum wheels are mounted with 31X10.50″ Prospector A/P tires. Power steering was equipped from the factory, and braking is provided by power-assisted front discs and rear drums. Per the seller, the brake master cylinder and hard lines have been replaced, as have the center link, tie-rod ends, stabilizer-bar links, rear springs, and all shock absorbers.

The power-adjustable front seats, the front-center armrest, and the rear bench have been reupholstered in blue vinyl, and color-coordinated replacement carpeting has been installed. Additional appointments include air conditioning, an AM/FM radio, Alphasonik speakers, power windows, woodgrain trim, and cruise control.

Instrumentation ahead of the three-spoke steering wheel includes a 100-mph speedometer and gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and amperage. The five-digit odometer shows 29k miles, most of which were added under current ownership.

The 360ci V8 was fitted from the factory with a two-barrel carburetor and was rated at 175 horsepower. The seller states that the engine has been rebuilt and that the following components have been replaced:
