oddly optioned xj's

[Yucca-Man]

28 gallon fuel tank( this is not a misprint I have the buildsheet and thats what it says)

That may be what it SAYS, but how much can you actually put in there? Buildsheets are crap half the time especially for the older ones, although on a '99 it should be fairly accurate. Never seen a 28-gallon option on the XJ so pics as proof would be interesting to see.

The build sheet, from Chrysler, for my '96 Country proudly lists power rack and pinion steering.

would be nice to have aftermarket place to order stuff like that cargo drawr / box thing. Never seen one before.

I wonder if the build sheet says 20 gallon tank, and it had the option to be shipped from the factory with 8 gallon's of gas in the tank. I believe both my 97 & 98's had the extra 8 gallon's of gas in the tank when they were shipped.

I've seen cargo boxes that fit into that cubbie hole.

The top compartment houses the cd changer and the bottom one is for storage.

for an 86, this thing sounds loaded! and most of it still works which is pretty cool when your wheel-n. No a/c though

Two things caught my eye. One is the cargo box on the right side of the cargo area. The second being the faring coming off the top of the rear liftgate. I want something like that for my XJ. Anyone know where to get these?

No! I feel cheated

Thanks for the welcome. I've never heard of the Colorado, I'll have to look it up. Here's some pics of my Orvis, I've only had it for 2 months but love the thing. I've been looking for an xj for so long but wanted the right spec in the best condition. It's got 70k miles with one owner and full history.

You also missed the 5.9 ZJ style tire cover, the non functional hood vents, the leather on the doors, the rear headrests, and the better leather on the seats. Oh.. and the diesel engine.

You can occasionally find that read diffuser on ebay.

:arrowr: back up a page or two - seems its a CD Changer.

Some points.
-I think the read headrest are standard for every XJ after year 95.
-The faring on liftgate´s top is the same for the Cherokee Wild Sport (limited edition of 200 units only in France)
-Diesel engines are very common in Europe...the 4.0 is less common here.

Every XJ (and every vehicle sold in the US since, I believe, 1970) has had either adjustable headrests or high-back seats, bench or bucket, to reduce whiplash injuries. They were modified for 2006 models (leaves us out, thankfully) with a more aggressive angle toward the driver's and paasenger's heads, to be closer to keep rearward movement to a minimum. I've been in a few of these, and find them to be very annoying.

No US XJ ever came with rear headrests.

Another european feature then.
