My case for evolution

When my junk was my company vehicle

And where it is today

I'll take door number two.

Nice looking rig.

Thanks, my boss actually gave it to me when the odometer hit 200k. I drove it at work for 6 years prior to that.

Cool boss. The best part is you know the history of the XJ and knew how it had been treated.

At 200K, it's just getting broken in, right?

 

[hiimmred]

I'd like to think so, its at 228K now, and runs solid. I actually have the records on it for the last 15 or so years. The usual things that wear out have been coming up over the last 6 months. But it's to be expected and I stay on top of maintenance so I don't anticipate major problems. I've been pumping money into gears, lockers, lift components etc. so I guess I feel confident it will safely get me to and from the trails for at least a few more years!

sweet man. how often did you beat the crap outta that thing when it was your work truck? I would like to think i never drove my work truck hard, but I would be lying if i said I didn't.

I took it easy on it, I had been discussing buying it from him for a few years before he ended up giving it to me.
