Chilton's Jeep Wrangler Repair Manual: 1987 through 2008
"For more than 80 years, Chilton products have set the standard for reference sources for Do-It-Yourself automotive enthusiasts and professionals."
Often a toss-up between the Chilton's and the Haynes repair manuals, but both are quality resources and I often have one of each for my Jeeps.
Haynes Repair Manual for Jeep Wrangler: 1987 through 2008
"Each manual contains easy to follow step-by-step instructions linked to hundreds of photographs and illustrations."
Every Wrangler owner should have a repair manual, especially if you do your own repairs and maintenance...or want to learn how. I have one of these Haynes manuals for every vehicle I own.

Top Car Books on the Jeep Cherokee XJ and
the Jeep Comanche MJ Pickup!
High-Performance Jeep Cherokee XJ Builder's Guide: 1984-2001
"This book isn't about cutting apart your Cherokee to build an over-the-top, off-road-only rock crawler (though you can take it there), and it isn't about building a jacked-up, chrome-covered show rig either. This book is about building a useful, capable Cherokee for mountains, the mud, the desert, the street, and everywhere in between."
Again, one of my all time favorites...this book has the best photos and illustrations I've yet to see for upgrading a Cherokee XJ or Comanche MJ Pickup.

Jeep CJ (1945 to 1986)
This beautifully done book "has a detailed, carefully researched text, hundreds of color illustrations, and charts illustrating the specifications and options of all CJ models from the CJ-2A to the final version, the CJ-7."
The author, Robert Ackerson, has put together a visual and informational piece of work on the "civilian" CJ Jeeps that is quite amazing.

Chilton's Jeep Liberty Repair Manual: 2002 thru 2004
For the do-it-yourself home mechanic this repair manual will help keep your Jeep Liberty in tip top shape and save a boat load of money. I like to have both the Haynes and the Chiltons repair books...but either one should serve you well.
