Not sure why you'd junk it without troubleshooting? I understand it's cold but that's just throwing something away.

I've sank so much cash in to it and it just keeps breaking down. I do all my maintenance, axle swaps, completely new suspension. I figured out it's my trans that's going. I slips in D but when I drive in 3rd it's fine. It stalls all the time. Idk, it feels like I can't win with the XJ. The previous owner destroyed it.
