Aloha guys and gals! I have a 1992 auto 4x4 that runs great but being old, i often wonder how long the major parts will last. I found a 1998 auto 4x4 xj for $250, complete sans the radiator and battery. I am wondering ifthere are enough parts to cross over to make it worthwhile for me to buy and figure a way to tow it. Any advice will be welcomed.

 

A jeep for 250$, pick it up.

 

I would ****** that in like 2 seconds! Get it!

 

I recently sold a 2wd '98 XJ I took the engine, transmission, rear 8.25 axle, and all the interior with the exception of the dashboard. Sold the rest to a local junkyard for $225 and they picked it up.

In other words jump on it!

 

Thanks for the input! Yeah, i was sold on the idea but my wife not so much. I guess she'll be surprised when she sees a red xj in our yard!

 

Just wondering... If the mirrors are in good condition would you be willing to sell them to me when you get it?

 

Wish i could see the expression on her face.

 

I feel ya. After the 4th XJ I dragged home my wife didn't talk to me for a few days. It was well worth it though.

 

Worth her not talking to you for a few days, or the parts XJ? or Both?

 

id take that in a second!

 

Both

 

Yeah get it!!!!! Even if there's nothing good on it, you can take it to a scrapyard or a u-pull type location and get at least that much back out of it

 

Lol, yeah, having her silent would be a treat. I'll probably have things posted to sell once i get it home. I wasnt sure if i should make it a new project or just part it for my dd. I'll likely part it out.

 

i would pick that up in a heart beat!

 

For $250 it'd be home. Besides your wife, you might want to make sure you have room to tear it apart. I'd also check your local codes to make sure you won't have the county being called by your neighbors.
