Selling my '98 XJ Sport.
  • Moss green with grey interior
    206K, engine is still in great shape
    NP231 with t-case drop
    AX-15 tranny
    29 spline 8.25 rear axle
    HP D30 in front
    stock 3:07 gears
    steering linkage as all poly TRE boots
    3" R.C. coils in front
    bastard packs and 3/4" Rusty's shackles in back
    30" BFG A/T KOs on stock steelies (painted black)
    Recently replaced steering box (from a 2000 XJ)
    Rusty's airtube and TBS, K&N filter with recharge kit
    e-brake bracket relocated rearward (a la MadXJ article)

Needs:

  • shocks
    steering stabilizer
    Possibly ball joints (I suspect, but haven't verified)

Plusses:

  • Mostly highway miles - not wheeled
    no knocking, pinging or other engine problems (runs great)
    original owner
    factory undercoating still visible in some places
    well-maintained - recent oil change ("Restore" engine treatment used every other oil change or so).
    Splitfire spark plugs and wires about 1-year old


I can return to stock if you want. This would include Toyo Open Country 235s on factory 5-spoke steelies. Factory air box is still available, but I'd need to get shorter bolts to remove the TBS. Rear shackles would stay to deal with sag. Otherwise, tires/wheels, t-case drop, RC coils, air tube and filter, and several extra leaf springs would be removed and available separately for sale. Front shock extenders would be available for free to whomever claims them first (if returned to stock).

This would make a great trail rig, especially if you already own suspension components and/or axles (or you just rolled your trail XJ). Hey AJ, you've got "lots of body damage" don't you? "Loose" steering would also be dealt with by replacing ball joints or entire axle/steering.

I still use it locally, but have stopped using as a DD due to some wobble.


Looking for $1800. Pics below:
