i bought a 92 xj 3-4 months ago, told it had a bad head gasket, replaced whole motor after pulling the head, then tcase blew 28 hours after getting it registered.. that just got fixed today and runs better for now...

anyways the real question, im about to purchase a 00 XJ for alot less than its worth, its got 126k that shows and supposivly 88k on motor, 4.5" lift, 33's, roof rack, HID's, 1ton steering, taurus injectors, new radiator, tstat, trans cooler, WJ steering pump & durango steering box with box brace...

and the problems it has... main bolt in rear leaf broke free, simple fix i hope, trans vibe while facing downward and accelerating, was told its missing/top 2 bolts are loose on the bellhousing, heat only works on high has new heater/evap-core..

i need to know what people think on the vibe its doing while accelerating and overall input on what you'd expect to pay for it... i had 2 YJ's and a MJ so i know how to work on a jeep and thats why after 4 years away i strolled back to my knowings with the 92 for a winter beater but i like it, and i really like the '00 for the price i offered him.. ill share as soon as i get responses/title in my hand, many thanks in advance if anyone actually reads this... photos below are of the jeep im about to buy... all it needs is gears and a 8.8 =)

What exactly is... a lot less than it's worth?

I'd say the vibe could be from the loose bell housing bolts. WHen I did my motor swap, I didnt get those two tight enough, next wheeling trip they backed themselves out enough that the bell housing pushed away from the motor and trashed the front pump on the trans... ended up swapping the trans out.

Looks good man, if your willing to work on it, why not? especially if you are getting a good deal
