Got our 3rd Jeep, a second old XJ
A gent I helped out with his YJ a while back dropped by the other day
asking if I wanted another XJ. It's a silver 87 4 door, 4.0, 5 speed
with 385K Km on it. Some type of upscale package on it? Chrome grill,
electric doors and window that actually seem to all work, standard seats
at least. Nice wrap around buckets too. It has a full instrument
cluster which is nice. No working FM on the stock Jeep stereo same as
our existing one. LOL!
No tires on it, but the body isn't too rotted out. No dents or dings.
Glass is all good. It has all the floorboards still! Some bottom of
the door and rocker panel rust because it has those stupid running
boards on it. Exhaust isn't old. Got the oil in the air filter
syndrome with only a totally blocked CCV line (I checked) as the cause
usually.
It seems to run well. I want to make one good XJ out of the two. I do
have 3 engines now to play with and tons of new stuff on the 88. An
extra 258 with what appears to be a recent rebuild and 135k original
miles on it anyway, it just leaked like a sieve and a 4.0 with only 300K
from the 88 that still runs sweet. Hmm... stroker, hmm......
Price was right... A hundred bucks....
