New to me XJ, Mobile AL

[Lake919]

Hi guys, I have been a member for a while and this is my second XJ. My first was a one owner 2001 with 56k miles, mint inside and out. It was totaled withing 72 hours of owning it by a drunk driver. So after recovering from that and looking for a while, I found a steal on a 1995 Xj with 217k on the clock. It is a straight body with no rust. I am happy with it.

Will also be throwing in the steering upgrade.

I bought the jeep Thursday, today I replaced the fluid in both axles, the transfer case, it was nasty black. I am sure that is how the tranny fluid looks as well and I should replace it but I am sure it's never been done and I don't want the issues associated with fluid change. I also flushed the brake lines and put on all new shocks front and rear.
