Examples of the XJ Jeep Cherokee are everywhere in Denver junkyards (nearly as numerous as late-1990s Subaru Outbacks, these days), and it takes a special one to make me deploy my camera.

I thought the factory-installed orange tape stripes on this ’91 Cherokee Sportwere interesting, and now today’s ’93 with innovative tree-branches-and-rattlecans camo job has made the cut.
It appears that someone laid fir branches all over the truck and then hosed it down with pink and white spray paint. Why? Some junkyard questions have no answers.
It makes sense that Cadillac would use the British “Litre” spelling on their 500-cubic-inch engine badges, for general faux-classy reasons, but why couldn’t Chrysler spell it the American way on a good ol’ Jeep?
It will always be the 242to me.
Is this the logo of an elite paramilitary organization?
“Brings you air that lets you breathe a little easier” turns out to refer to the driver’s side airbag in the ’93 Cherokee.
The debut of the 242 engine was bigger news than Chrysler buying American Motors!
