Went on a cross country road trip last week in my stock 2001 xj. With original 0331 head. Came back safely yesterday. But I did get rear ended on Los Angeles. Nothing major except for my rear bumper got bend kinda bad. Does anyone have a rear bumper laying around they would like to sell or donate? Lolz

new guy in North Aurora.
Bought an XJ, 155000 miles and some rust as a work winter car. Bought a new Corvette Stingray and just can't leave parked in a parking garage for 8 hrs a day. Been a fj40 guy for decades, but with all the great things I hear about the 4.0 motor I had to buy it. Love it so far. Have you seen the prices for fj40s these days? Look forward to being a part of this forum
