There's usually a few on craigslist... have you checked there yet?
These were just on the first page of searching "XJ"...

But if you want somethin from here, you gotta give us your budget and how much lift you're lookin for. A Jeep with a 3" lift on 31s is a lot different than one with 6" lift on 35s.

I have seen those thanks I was just seeing if there were anymore on here as well thanks again.

I figured you would have sold this by now. No takers?
I was very interested a while back and then had to back off. What are you asking for it? What are the miles on it? Was it only a trail rig and or abused?
Can you send me more pics and info on it.
If the price is obviously right, I would really like to pursue it.
Pm Me

How about you help US out by giving us some specifics about what you're looking for?

How much do you want to spend?

Budget boost or 13" lift with 4-link, full widths, 38's and a V-8?

:dunno:

 

[heepCO]

I am looking for a DD that is lifted for some mild 4x4 fun. I am new to the 4x4 aspesct of cars i usally just go for speed so I can not fully explain what i want. hope this helps and I can probably swing $4000.

 

[YELLAHEEP]

Well the price range definitely helps.

For that money, you should be able to fine a decent XJ.

I'd narrow your search a bit and stick to anything '91 and newer. They have the High Output engine and better electronic engine controls. '96 and up have better axles (Dana 30 front with larger 297 joints, and a Chrysler 8.25 29 spline rear axle) and the engine management system went to OBDII which is fairly uniform among vehicles now.

When looking at potential XJ's, ask about it's "heritage"...... where it came from, how many owners, etc. XJ's that originally came from back east don't generally fare well where rust is concerned. Floorboards below the carpet and under the rear seat is the problem area. Look at the roof line at the corners above the windshield for rust bubbling.

Unless the owner has meticulous maintenance records for a lengthy time, I'd stay away from XJ's with over 200K miles.

If you find yourself drawn to an XJ from '90 and earlier, give the unibody a good look over - looking for cracks in the unibody. Do a search here and you'll find a few threads with pics of typical cracking issues.

Rear main seals are generally the most common oil leak source - most XJ's are going to have a leak there. Most XJ's "mark their territory"......

Feel free to post up any Craigs ads of XJ's you're interested in - we'd be glad to help you come up with questions for the owner. :thumbup:

check the unibody on any jeep u look at. any jeep with a larger lift and without proper work will start to crack.. ive had a 87, 92, and 95 and they all started to crack.

 

[heepCO]

thanks for the help i am extremely excited. I'll keep you up to date. If things check out i thin i might be able to get kemosabee's jeep.

 

[heepCO]

Still looking

You should have just bought the yellow 2 door chop that LED had for sale.

DUH

 

[heepCO]

IDK 230k and the whole death wobble thing kinda have me a little weary.

IDK 230k and the whole death wobble thing kinda have me a little weary.

Good choice. Not to bash on collkid but you can get one with a lot less miles..

Btw, death wobble can easily be fixed.

 

[Kittrell]

Btw, death wobble can easily be fixed.

Sure, once you figure out which one of 20 different things is causing it............

 

[XJ=Fun]

Yeah it really varies. With my friends jeep all it needed was the track bar tightened, but with me it was a whole lot more. Chances are that if he was not able to fix it, then it probably isnt something super E-Z to fix it.

 

[XJNOOB93]

Sure, once you figure out which one of 20 different things is causing it............

well yea. Haha it was easy to fix mine... with Leds help

 

[collkid]

Yeah I'm going to get DW Fixed tomorrow, I'm pretty sure that its a combo of Alignment and rotating tires. IF that doesn't do it, i'll do the Track bar and Steering Stabalizer.

Sure you can get one with less miles, But, mine has Cute lights, and is blue, and has a sub, and well yeah 230k. But it honestly Runs really well, just had a compression test done like I said.

You can have it for 2,000
