Thanks for the offer Jeremy! I'll keep you posted. Whatever happens will be near the end of this month.

My daughter will be back at Sonoma State (Rohnert Park) in the fall, and we plan to sell her 4Runner down here and buy her an XJ to use at school. We'll probably buy off of CL or some such, and I won't be up there, so we'd be looking for someone knowledgeable to check it over. Any...
