Y'all should go to Choccolocco with me sometime. It's in Jacksonville

 

Hey fellow Alabamians.

I'm halfway in the market for a 97+ 4 door 4wd xj to DD to work and to take hunting to keep the miles off my truck.

I've got 2 questions.

1. I'd like to spend no more than $2000. Trim level/options doesn't matter. It doesn't have to be a showcar just something mechanically sound and no serious body damage. Dents and dings or replacing a few worn out parts is fine. Is that a reasonable price range?

2. How do they do towing? During hunting season it would be used to pull a boat weighing about 2000 lbs every weekend.

 

From mobile area, anyone down here?

 

I would not expect anything nice for $2000. Good tires cost $1000 now days . You can probably find something with 200k miles on it for that. I saw a decent 2 door on craigslist for around $3k not long ago, but alas it is sold.

It should not have any problems towing a boat. Just make sure the brakes are good...

Welcome to the club!

 

Thanks for the reply and yeah everything I've looked at has had at least 200k on it.

 

hi guys its been a while since i gotten into the forum due to the lack of jeep . i should be getting a 89' comanche tonight as soon as i get of off work heading down to my friends house to pick it up. i should have picture pretty soon! IT is a POS but considiring it cost me 200.00 bucks im not complaining.

 

Cool, Did you get it? Where the hell did you find a jeep for $200? I can't even find a winch bumper for that cheap, and I have been looking for a while!! Post some pics of it. What are your plans for it?

I'm over in Helena, so if you know some some spots..lets go wheelin!

 

She needs a new engine and she is very rough it was total from the front. She runs on 4 cylinder right know. Im on the look out for new engine right know

 

Time for a V8 swap!

 

Nope i love 4.0 motors. Is just going to be a pain fo find one for cheap in good conditions. now i wish i wouldnt have sold my firsst jeep when i flipped it years ago.

 

Finally, Sold my XJ and bought a 100 series Land Cruiser. I miss the Long Arm flex, but the ride, V8 POWUH, and Factory Rear locking diff is nice!


Old XJ





New Land Cruiser, I put lift and tires on yesterday.

 

Who was lucky enoug to get that beautiful xj?

Love the cruiser.

 

My little brother bought it, he lives in Alaska, but is over in Saudi Arabia now... Air Force. Doesn't come home for a couple months

 

Good for him. Hope he gets stationed back in Montgomery or B-ham. That would be nice.

Im working on my next xj now

 

that guy I know who bought your roommates cruiser already sold it. We were out wheeling one day and he blew out the side wall on three of those humvee tires.
