Lets just put things happen to XJ owners or stuff that all the XJ's do.

So here it is . . . The Official "Before You Buy A XJ" manual.

-If you do not like oil leaks in your drive way . . . dont buy a XJ

-If you prefer a "BMW" ride quality . . . dont buy a XJ

lets keep it going!

No leaks on our '98 XJ -
The ride quality is decent for the short wheel base -
Mechanical wise under the hood, the XJ is a notch above a Briggs & Stratton where as a BMW really looks scary -

haha thanks man. I know ill probably get alot of crap for it, but it goes beyond the jeep thing for me. ever if i hate XJ's in many years, there was always that one. dont get me wrong there was a degree of stupidity involved but hey, does a genius purposely bomb it through a mud pit cause its fun? I still think it was worth it
