Bought the vehicle last night, and have just got around to taking pics. I'll add more later. Check out the folder, there's plenty.

Nice find! I always have liked the black ones. That one in particular looks real clean. I also like the two-tone dash.

Is it me, or does that battery look kinda janky? Either its leaking a bit or its real dirty.

Nah, that's not the immediate plan. First I want to install the remote start that the seller threw in.

Looks just like my 1998XJ. Had mine for about 2-3 months now, & love it.

Mine came with the I6 that thinks it's a V8.

Very nice XJ! You're immediate plans may not be anything too serious, but trust me, the addiction is already setting in and in a short amount of time you'll be asking yourself, "Why didn't I get a Jeep sooner?"

Oh I know all about the addiction..................see the SBC 355 on the engine stand in the background? I should be finishing that up sometime today.

Here's some more on the XJ.

No rust, clean interior, strong drivetrain, recent full tune-up and fuel pump with receipt

200K miles, has a high-speed vibration (tires for sure), paid $2500
