Any of you guys from around Montgomery? I ask because I'm moving back that way this weekend. I found a group on FB but was wondering if we had any active members here in the area...

Angel. A couple months back I found an black xj in midfield at a car lot (think bessemer super highway somewhere). It had ~150k miles on it. The guy wanted $500 for the whole thing. Said it ran, but couldnt find the key so I can't verify. Also, there is a guy on craigslist parting one out cheap...Let me know if you need more info.

All right boys, I'm back in the XJ game again. Actually I have been for the last couple of weeks. My Z71 trans took a crap on me so my buddy let me drive his built XJ to work. All it took was about 3 mins going down the road and I knew that I needed another one. A couple of months ago he was asking way more that I wanted to pay, but through some manipulation and the fact that he needs to buy his wife a bigger car, he dropped the price a few thousand in order for me to bite. I don't have any daytime pix but I will by the weekend.

2001 Ex- USFS Law Enforcement XJ
Under 100k miles
Spot light on drivers A-pillar(factory law enforcement package)
Full rubber floor(same package)
Extended Idle Button( for those long waits in the woods)
6.5" RE long arm
RE Double Shear
RE Steering box bracing
Dana 30, E-Locker, 4.10s, chromoly, Solid Diff Cover
Ford 8.8, Aussie, 4.10s, Solid Diff Cover
Currie Currectlync steering
Custom Front and rear bumpers
Custom full undercarraige Rock Sliders
10k LB Warn Winch
33" ProComp MTs with Spare on black D windows

.....and some other odds and ends.

I have known this XJ for years and it was what I wanted my old XJ to be like. I have helped maintain this jeep over the last couple of years and I know that it is in great shape..........and it will tackle some serious obstacles.

It needs some Control arm bushings up front, so I will be switching them to Polyurethane in the next week. It has cold A/C and hot heat. Also has full power window and Doors, which I didn't have with my old XJ.

Can't wait to get back on the trails.

Well I finally got everything moved (for the most). I'm living in Wetumpka/Elmore now, just north of Montgomery.
