Howdy,
My 2001 Sport is fading. Something definitely going on in the engine (clanking sounds at start up and at low rpms). 215,000 miles. Trade-in value is about $750. What would you all do, sell it or part it out?
Also, I need a new DD and am looking for something relatively new and still in production. Thinking about a 4Runner (I KNOW!!!!). Anyone know if there are good aftermarket bumpers, etc out there for these?
I've had 5 XJ's from 89 to this '01. Best damn car ever made, but I need a reliable DD, not a trail toy. This one lived in Michigan for 11 years and has serious rust issues, but it has great aftermarket bumpers, 60th anniversary 16" wheels, new Hancook M/S tires, new HD shocks, KC HiLiter driving and fog lights, Thule racks, etc.... $750 trade-in is bullsh!t.
I'm in Victor, ID now. Don't have the $$ to buy another XJ and move the good parts over.
Thanks for any advice, as always.
