Ok this is mainly a feeler thread but if I get a good offer I'd take it. I don't have to get rid of it tomorrow or anything. I have about 3 months to play with. Located in Biloxi ms but will be in newnan Georgia in a couple months
Some hard times maybe forcing me to go to something more economical. Here we go.
98 sport 4.0 116k
Power windows locks mirrors
6.5 rc long arm
Rc steering stabilizer
Rugged ridge sye
Lowfab (local) front bumper
Hella 500ff lights an a extra set still in the box
36"tsl swampers with about 70% tread
15x8 mb motorsport razor wheels
Crap 2.2 shocks are gone. Replaced with longer rc hydros
All of the parts are 5 months old or less. A/c was completely rebuilt this year an blows snowballs. Bushings in control arms changed out last weekend with the "new" version rc is pushing now. Jeep is super super clean. I can promise u won't find one spot of rust anywhere. Didn't heat or break one bolt when putting my lift on. Interior is very good no headliner sag no rips or tears anywhere. Has a couple trail scratches an never painted the rockers from where I pulled all the molding an brackets off. Tell me what you think. I'd like to get atleast 6000 out of it. This is super low miles an super clean so I think it's reasonable
I forgot stock gears an axles at the moment. I'm saving for gears an lockers at the moment but it does just fine how it is. Been wheeled several times an driven 6 hrs to a park in louisiana an I dd it. Has a LSD 35 in the rear right noe but if it makes that much difference to u I have a 29 spline 8.25 I can put in before sale

6200 with the 8.25 installed. Like I said I'm not in a hurry to give it away. I don't have to sell it. It would just make my life a lil easier to have something more economical at the moment.

I was going to dump some money into mine and get it looking like that but now I am thinking just buy one already lifted and fixed up and sell mine.

No it's not like that James. With us looking at moving to Georgia my commute is gonna get a lot longer an I can't get 13mpg an eating up expensive swampers like that everyday. I won't be jeepless long just would turn around an get mainly trail rig.

I know-just ragging on you a little. Someone will get a good looking XJ with most of the work allready done. Everyone's gotta do what best for themselves and family, especially in these times. Good luck.
God, I havent gotten 13+ mpg since my 96 2dr. 10 and im having a good week now and im only on 33s. lol
But VERY nice looking rig. Mark you'd have a blast in this one.
Free up for a soon to be fellow ga jeeper.

No body damage in the rear. The tires sit up in there nicely an the shocks stop it from pushing much further. The way it's cut an rolled it distributes pretty evenly. Not like it puts pressure on just one spot.
13 isn't bad I agree. That's all around town no interstate. It gets 16 the one 6 he trip I took to wheel it in Louisiana. I just don't get in a big hurry an hardly ever down shift while accelerating. It's still not ideal for an Atlanta commute.
