Just came across this?? I have never seen one this color in person or online. I haven't even seen the color listed anywhere in the lists of color options for the XJ. At first I thought repainted but if that were the case then the engine and every piece of trim that is near the paint would have been stripped. The engine bay and door jambs look like they were factory painted. Were there any special order colors available? Like how all the town and state vehicles are fluorescent orange and some forestry vehicles were pale green. Maybe this was an option for some municipalities?

I have an 84 Cherokee Chief, 2 door, V6 with Manual T5 tranny. Had it since it was new. There can’t be many of these still on the road.

2dr- 5spds are a bit harder to find and not considered rare yet. I have a 96 4 dr Magenta jeep Cherokee... the only year I made them I believe. I can't seem to find much information on them and I can't seem to find many others... maybe 10 I've seen pictures of. 5-7 on Facebook and two or three on here...

it might be considered rare to own multiple XJ's at the same time ?

I did say there was no such thing as a rare jeep, but there would be ones with unusual options ( and/or color schemes)

One such option that I dont know whether I have seen, even though there is a thread on this forum about it, is the factory fitted winch

There are diagrams in the Parts Manuals, and pictures of "copies" on the thread, and promotional pics.

I guess I will have to try and check the thread out to satisfy myself, unless someone steps forward and has one

I found a few pictures of the factory winch a while ago. It used a Ramsey 6000lb winch.

I just picked this one up 2.5L 5speed 2door 2wd is it a rare one?

Any XJ or MJ with the 2.1 diesel is rare.
I'd say sun and moon visors.
XJ Wagoneers in general are rare.
MJ Comanches are hard to find in the north.
Fluid sentinel system is a rare find.
Spare tire sub box is a rare find.

There is more but I can't think of anything.
I think finding a 2 door is rare. I have owned 7 cherokee xj's and have looked at over 60 of them when purchasing these 7. Only 3 were 2 door models and only one was a 5 speed.

Don't quote me but I am pretty sure the 2 door, 4 cylinder, automatic with the 4.56 rear is the most rare setup. Not considering power options, wing windows, tint, and other option combinations like that.
