800? I'd buy and hit the trails. That's a fair price around here.

meh, it's an $800 Jeep. I would be more concerned with the trans and TC, even if the engine is crap you can always convert your current 2wd to 4wd using the parts off it.

Runs? Clean title? Not rusted? $800 ? You could use as a trail rig and keep your 2wd xj for daily driving. But expect no carpet, headliner, cigarette burns, probably leaks oil, might need a motor, engine, tranny and t case rebuild . Meh.. 'sup to you man.
