Eau Claire is the closest to chime in so far!

Forgot to add in my last post, if it goes well it will be a 98 XJ

Could make it a 5'er if there's no wind. Any luck with the Xj purchase today?

Any luck with the purchase...

It is sitting in the driveway! It turned out the 98 was in definite better shape. I will get photos tomorrow to dark now. Probably paid a little much at 2400 but my mechanic put his computer in it and it checked out good. Test drive yielded a possible bearing issue front driver side. The steering for me elk let's just say i will need to get used to our have someone like you neighbor drive it and tell me is something is strange, possibly from the bearing? The exhaust will need a replacement soon... the trans could probably use a flush and change...

Other than that it wasn't bad. A little smaller than what i thought.. but hey i am a Cherokee owner now!

Just moved it.. noticed the one headlight is dimer than the other.. hopefully that isn't a bad sign. Plus i wasn't ready for the headlights to stay on for a little but after turning the Cherokee off... I thought something was wrong...

Franksville here, west of the freeway. Picked up a 95 xj on Dec. 31 that needed some work and have been fixing it as time permits. Need to fix one more oil leak at the rms then I can focus on the lift and other fun stuff. Not looking forward to paying a shop to install the lift though!
