Never seen or heard of it as I recall. It was 4.0 HO with 91-95 tail lights, 4x4, with the wood grain decal siding typical of the earlier Wagoneers, what some call a woody, and the chrome tags said Cherokee Briarwood!

What's the story on these?

I have one, a 92. It's just an "upgraded" interior with fake wood. Kind of like a Country with leather. Unless someone knows something I don't.

The Briarwood was designed and built exclusively for the Royal Windsor family. Only 8 were ever produced, with 5 known to still exist. In addition to the leather interior, the Briarwood featured a sold gold 4.0 engine, and a diamond encrusted steering wheel.

My 87 Wagoneer has the fake wood interior too. I really like it. Sounds like your the only real expert on the Briarwood here. :doh:

I need to start carrying a camera or cell phone camera with me. The one I saw was still in nice condition on the outside.

Yea, more or less what 87manche said. My Sister has a '92 and it's one of the higher end models of those production years. IIRC they also had the Selec-Trac as the standard transfer case.
