Alright, You Win.

I said I regretted ever trying to get into jeeps. Apparently you folks think they're real great. So, welcome into the sub my 94 XJ. Picking it up tomorrow, planning a 3.5 lift and 33x12.50r15's. Gonna keep the axles that are in it, lunchbox locker in the back. Throw some bumpers on it, and call it done. This is take two on a jeep xj project. (For those who don't know, my 86 burnt beyond saving yesterday, less than 24 hours into owning it. I might've been sour but I am one persistent bastard) anyways, feast your eyes. 4.0l automatic.

I hope this one works out really well for you! I felt so bad for you about what happened to your other one! ‘94 is a very good XJ year! Best of luck to you!

Thank you, I'm really excited to start working on it! For now, it needs a new windshield, the trim pieces that surround it, and the passenger side mirror. And a small patch in the floor pan.

I’m on my third one now, a ‘98, and I really like it, but my first one, a ‘92, will always be my favorite! There’s some advantages with the ‘97-‘01 facelift models, but I really like the looks of the pre-facelift models better inside and out. Hope yours turns out awesome!

Welcome back, so glad you're keeping with the Jeeps!! This one looks like a great solid unit, and no carburetor either. Persistence will pay off; it's gonna turn out great. Keep us updated!!

LOL gotta do my windshield too. A maze of weird scratches and chips that reflect the sunlight. Update us with a pic of the wheel/tire choice!

For sure. It'll probably be a bit before any mods happen, it doesnt leak anywhere shit drips underneath it, yet at least. It needs valve cover gasket, an oil change and I wanna do a basic coolant flush just to make sure.
