Yeah it is, him and his wife were very nice. Very honest seller too.

I need one like that. Maybe I'll just break down and buy one someday.

Bought not built

Saved yourself a boat load of cash though

 

[Empty_Pockets]

I know, I couldn't buy the parts for what I paid lol I look at it this way I bought built axles and it came with a free xj with 90k and a bunch of extras on it lol.

 

[Empty_Pockets]

Or I could have gone on Craigslist and bought a stock xj with 90k, or an xj with a rough country kit and a little over 100k for what I got this for lol
