No dent, Must just be a reflection from the camera angle.

Nice looking XJ, appears to be in good shape. Has it been kept up on maint, Tune-up, Coolant flush, diff and trans service? if not I wouldn't give any more than $4,000. Two negatives IMO are the cheepo no brand tires and flimsey Surco "bolt togather" rack, that appears to be on sideways

The vibe is very slight, just between 25-35 mph. There is also a little clunk when you rabbit start.

I looked at everything again today and it appears that the yoke doesn't go all the way up into the transfer case, maybe by about 3/4 inch.

Would a tc drop probably take care of this???

the little clunk is probably a u-joint. i agree with all that is indeed a chrysler 8.25 rear end. vibration could be tires or just the rear driveline. Id pay no more than 4 grand. Rims are factory off a yj.

dam thats a clean jeep. but remember this, its worth what your willing to give. and a tc drop wouldnt hurt if its just a 3inch lift or so, check the angle of the rear end too, could need shims. but id give him 4 grand for it, its very clean....

That's funny.

When I first joined wranglerforum there was a guy on there that gave me a hard time because I had XJ wheels on my YJ. Now that I've joined Cherokeeforum, someone "rags" me about the wrangler wheels on my XJ.

I'm ...

definatly knock him down on price, he can only say no?? i kinda like the rims lol. as for the roof rack a mate of mine ripped his off on a low branch, i prefer lower ones that bolt along the gutter, but you could pull it and flog it for a few hundred $ and save even more wonga on the deal??
just my thoughts

It's Official.

Went over this morning and signed the papers. We had a very pleasant conversation about the things the XJ needed and what my concerns were. When I brought up the fact that he said something about his girlfriend getting fat and not being able to get into the lifted Cherokee, I talked him down some more!!!



Final deal was $3900.
