    Naxja original gang?

    Your memory is better than mine, Tim. Yes, the wooden flags on my roof rack are still there - somewhat worse for wear after two decades, but still recognizable. And yes, we did collaborate on the NAC logo. Red doesn't get much road time these days - but bits and pieces of Paragon, Rausch Creek...

    Naxja original gang?

    Well, it took a verrry long time to remember my log in ID and password, but finally solved it. Joined back in 2000, became a Life Member, helped to design the original NAC logo. Best yet, my '92 5 speed 2 door is still running. Amazing, after 5 cross country trips to Fallfest. Pretty much...

    WTB- A few things for nephew building his XJ...

    While you're looking for stuff, my UpCountry '96 is still sitting here (pics on an earlier thread) - waiting to be rolled away. Doesn't have everything you're looking for but it does have a factory D30 and the factory receiver hitch - and of course a 4.0. if by any chance your nephew has a pre97...

    '96 4.0 - Still Gift Wrapped

    OK - let's try this again - this time with some pics! 1996 4.0 HO 144K miles young - from an UpCountry white 2 door 5 speed. Never wheeled - was a daily driver. Ran just fine until the alternator crapped out after I parked it next to the house in 2015. No starter (that was donated to my '92)...

    '96 4.0 "Gift Wrapped"

    Well, other than the floors, the outside sheet metal shows no rust. Can't say what's possibly hiding in the rockers or at the base of the B-column, but other than a dent on the panel behind the passenger door (doesn't affect door closing), and a cracked front clip (rolled into a tree - front...

    '96 4.0 "Gift Wrapped"

    Paul, There MUST be a sand dune or something you could tuck it behind down the Shore! And, nobody in NAC could lend you a trailer for an afternoon? :jester: The doors are in fine shape (although keep in mind that this is a white XJ, may not match your decor) - I don't need them since I already...

    '96 4.0 "Gift Wrapped"

    Gee- nobody needs an engine? (especially one so attractively packaged!:laugh: ) OK - if $300 is too rich for your blood - make me an offer. :callme: MG

    '96 4.0 "Gift Wrapped"

    MD, Rob, Wayne: T'anks for the mem'ries and the encouragement! :wave1: Real tempting to get RED out again, including Moab, BUT first priority is to move the '96 4.0 (and its "packaging"), c'mon - there's got to be somebody out there that needs a newer powerplant (been almost 18 years since...

    '96 4.0 "Gift Wrapped"

    Andy - great to hear from you as well (didn't see your reply while I was answering Johnny). Just like old times - remember Rifle, CO? Anyway, I MAY be stirring a bit (need to solve a 231 low range issue on RED first though), we'll keep in touch. As for CHW, I think we've lost him to the dark...

    '96 4.0 "Gift Wrapped"

    Hey Johnny, nice to hear from you as well - funny thing about woodwork - you can't always see what's going on, but the bugs are still there! :wierd: Anyway, yeah, I'm still around - miss Paragon a LOT and while there's nothing really wrong with Rausch, I just never could get in to it! And I...

    '96 4.0 "Gift Wrapped"

    Not exactly sure how to lay this out, but here goes: 1996 4.0 HO 144K miles young - from an UpCountry white 2 door 5 speed. Never wheeled - was a daily driver. Ran just fine until the alternator crapped out after I parked it next to the house in 2015. No starter (that was donated to my '92)...

    WTB/T XJ stock tires and wheels

    If Mayercik can't help - I've PM'd you. Just a bit further west than him in NJ. MG

    Obligatory who's going thread!

    Only if you're bringing out the Missus' truck (still have it?) - and if I can talk CHW into coming (he has my other blue '87), then I can claim a prize for the farthest traveled group of formerly or currently owned XJ's (3x2000+ mi!!!) :sunshine: Still hope a few more NAC folks will make the...

    Obligatory who's going thread!

    I know I have been scarce of late, but my Red '92 just informed me that we need a 30th plaque to go along with the 20th one. So, a year in advance, I'm officially saying HELL YES. We've managed six times before and expect this will be lucky 7 - and I'm hoping to drag a few NAC alumni along as...

    Thanks John for noticing, and the rest of you folks. I really appreciate the thoughts. Gettin' older, just like RED (20 years old next June). Haven't had much of chance to get dirt on the tires of late (other than the driveway), but I'm hoping to get things in shape for 2012 and get to a NAC...
