If you look at that plastic bottle on the left side, it looks like the coolant is very dirty. Never buy a 00-01 if the coolant is dirty unless you plan on replacing the cooling system or even the head. Especially one that is 2wd for 6k. I would only buy this if it was 2k. I don't know why they even sold Cherokees with 4wd.

My friends' dad towed a medium-large boat with his xj and it did fine. But he wanted more power so he bought a truck. You should be fine with a 4wd xj.

As another mentioned though, you'll probably want to install a transmission cooler. They're pretty cheap and easy to install.

Might want to watch this video.

Holy crap. I looked at Craigslist for Meridian, there is exactly (1) XJ for sale. $2,500 with 260K miles and no pics.
Nobody bought XJ's down there or they're all hanging on to them?
