So after selling my beloved 90 2door 5spd xj and a momentary/costly lapses of judgement with a zj. I just got home with my new 88 4door I6 auto XJ. Picked up from a buddy who has had it for nine years, only putting 5k on it in that time. He had an issue with the coolant bottle blowing the cap and had enough.
Thanks to cruiser54 recommending the Volvo cap, got it up and running for 10 bucks and paided 400 hundred for it.
Tomorrow got to give it a bath, lot of green fuzz, and run through all the sensors.

He told me the heater unit was screwed, but the vac line was disconnected to the ball under the bumper.
The only odd one I have found so far is that the stop for the drivers window isn't functioning. If you roll it all the way down it can go to far and I have to pull the door panel and give it a nudge.
Hoping to do the lift, re 4.5" with 32 in the near future.

The PO only used it in the winter when it snowed. And in western Washington it only snows for a week every winter. It also had a dw that scared the hell out of him, so he spent almost a grand rebuilding the front end and then parked it for the last year.
