Well guys, I'm neew to the whole off road world and jus picked up my first xj, as of right now its sitting stock. I picked up my jeep about a month ago off crags list for $900 bucks it is a 1996 4x4 with 205,000 on it. I have not done much to it besides under coating the lower 8" of the doors and rockers and also have installed a new stereo system with four tweeters six 5 3/4" and two 12" kickers. I have picked up 4.5" springs, leafs, front shocks, drop pitmint arm and with in the next month or so ill be ordering more parts for the xj first day I picked it up after painting lower doors and rockers

You're getting a good pile of parts.... Your XJ doesn't look like it has more than 80,000 miles on it... The outside looks "MINT", how's the interior?

Matt's96

saggy headliner a crack in the dash um the floors are rotted out in the front passenger and driver side but I will be repairing those this summer and passengers front door. Is a different red. Other then that it runs there are minor rust spots kike the roof and lower quarter by the wheel well on drivers side only the size of a dime right now
