Jeep's XJ platform is a compact unibody platform introduced in 1984 and retired in 2001. Like many Jeep models, the XJ has been used both on and off paved roads and enjoyed by many 4-wheeling enthusiasts. Both 2-wheel drive and 4-wheel drive configurations were sold during the years it was manufactured.

The following models used this architecture:
 * 1984-2001 Jeep Cherokee (not to be confused with the SJ Cherokee that was a 2-door version of the SJ Wagoneer.)
 * 1984-1990 Jeep Wagoneer (not to be confused with the SJ Wagoneer that was renamed the Grand Wagoneer when the XJ Wagoneer came out.)

The Wagoneer was basically identical to the Cherokee, but had vertically stacked low and high beam headlights, and wood-painted side panels of SJ fame.

Commonly referred to as a poor mans TJ, due to its lack of a frame and roll bar; its over abundance of glass, and large grocery cargo area. The XJ can usually be found in mall parking lots, YMCA lots on Zumba nights, and occasionally broken down on the side of the highway waiting on tow trucks with busted up rockers and inoperable transfer cases. They also are usually parked in the backyard, pissing off neighbors.

Some notable owners of XJ's are David Moberly (aka Mobs) of St. Charles, and Richard Simons, of the 80's era disco calisthenics fad.
