Considering I am a student and going to college next spring. I want to hear if you guys think I should keep this XJ or potentially sell it and build an MJ I have sitting around. And if I was to sell it what would you guys think is a fair price considering the parts list? Any input is appreciated. Not posting in classifieds cause its not officially for sale.
Do you have any other vehicles beside the XJ and MJ and is one of them a reliable and economical daily driver? If you do, and have a place to keep the MJ for a while longer, just keep the XJ. When doing mods or upgrades think if they could eventually be moved to the MJ. If you do decide you want a built MJ more than the XJ you can then swap over you good stuff and part out the rest of the XJ. Until then take the XJ off-road and have some fun with it. Sure, you would make more money selling it whole, but how long would the MJ build take?
If you don't have a reliable and economical daily driver, get one of those before deciding which Jeep(s) to keep/build. I know a lot of people here will say that a lifted XJ is their daily driver and it handles like a sports car while riding like a Rolls and gets the same mileage as a Prius, but most college students don't get that lucky and need something cheap to get to and from school/work.
P.S. if you are married or getting married soon, forget everything above and build that MJ now! There is no way a wife (aka the mother of your future children) will allow you to have a fun vehicle that can't fit a car seat, if she lets you have one at all.
