what do ya think?

 

thats alot of lift for a xj if done incorrect. sye? didnt say. call him and check it out, test drive it on the freeway for the death wobble problem.

 

o i will doesnt say how many miles either

but it has a rusty's lift so its good

but it is located right by me so i might go drive it this week

 

Hard to say, the ad is pretty vague. Go check it out since it's close by. If it's in good running order, it's a decent deal. I'd crawl all over that thing, like a kid at a jungle gym if I were you though!! Make sure the PO hasn't beat the **** out of it!! HTH!! Laters!!

 

you could also take it in for a pre-inspection.
not bad of a deal if it passes inspection. or you could build one for about that much and have fun doing it.

check the bushings in the control arms and all front end links.
also, see if it has a proper adjustable track bar installed.
check for tire rubbing and brake line length for disconnecting.

also, check the floors, particularly under the drivers feet.

 

id buy her something smaller, or find a cheaper xj and mod it with her... to her liking? therefore she becomes familiar with her rig.

 

My observations.
1) If your GF doesn't have experience driving lifted rigs, I wouldn't put her in a 6" anything . This has no bearing on her driving skills, but simply 6" totally changes the ride / handling quality of any rig.

2) TC was lowered, so I'd guess no drive shaft replacements. Hmm..

3) Baja Claws are notorious for uneven wear that can contribute to true Death Wobble (not a minor shimmy) . I've been running claws on 2 of my rigs for years. This can be managed by frequent rotations, but something to consider.

4) I'd be concerned with the lift quality based on the vendor.

Just my .02

ALL good points!
Get her a stock xJ something IMO
