I am in need of a new Jeep Cherokee because i love mine to death but found while i was doing my rear shocks a couple spots on the frame rails that were really soft...now i want another cherokee and i found a beautiful 2-door 5-speed...now my questions

- with serious offroading have you seen any door fitment issues because i have heard rumors that the doors could close less effectively when offroaded on 2-doors due to lack of the extra pillar...

-plus how are 5-speeds offroad i dont want to be getting into something that shouldnt be offroad since auto's are good i was just wondering if manuals are good or bad offroad how hard is it to offroad in a standard?

I offroad in my 5 speed all the time. I prefer it. Automatics are easier, but you have more control with a manual.

i prefer 5 speed for everything you have more control over it
and as for the offroading any xj loves offroading

the doors welll mine have flexed and popped while offroading but they still close fine to me i had to adjust the passanger one once it got a little sidways but its good now

I wheel mine and its a 5 speed. Its a bit of a challange but I enjoy it. So far as the 2 door part, I have never had any issues.

in 96 they added TONS more strength to the body, i have a 96 2door 5speed that i wheel. i have had it on two wheels (front driver rear passenger) i have had it near on its side, rocky rocky river bottoms, hills, you name it no issues! i love wheeling with the 5 speed, more control. A little of a hassle sometimes but never a real issue!

i would go grab it! they are rare!!!
