just added another jeep to the family today just bought a red 96 with the 4.0,and manual tranny hadd to be a five speed has 193k but engine drivetrain and body are all in pristine condition no rust or rot what so ever and it still rides like a dream sooo pumped great find for 1500$ pics soon!

 

Cool find. What are your plans?

 

to use it as my dd prob throw some new wheels/tires on it but nothing major...kinda like it more than my 98 tho not gonna lie

 

Red looks great on XJs and ZJs. And funny thing is, unlike most other car mfgs, red seems to last on Jeeps.

Unlike green, which chrysler seems to be the worst in the world for in terms of paint life. Especially on their minivans. I think chrysler's green paint begins to oxidize five minutes after it dries. That being said...if you have "forest pearl green" the duplicolor looks pretty damn good. Almost an exact match to the factory paint, even on my '93

 

Nice price, I picked mine up for 2k.

Any pics?

 

After my ex moves out I'm thinking about buying another one too lol just a donor for mine strip it down and send the bones to the bone yard then get something else lol

 

Generally, if the person i'm with isn't supporting me (which will never be the case) then it's not up to them when it comes to what I use my money for.

 

heres a pic of the jeep of the jeep i grabbed for 1600! thing is mint

 

Dang dude, that's nice. I love red.

 

thanks man just washed and waxed it the paint is in unbelievable condition for the year

 

96 is my favorite year for the XJ for some reason.

 

Congrats on the buy i feel the same i bought a 95 203000 on the dash 5 speed 650 but badly bent unibody i bought it for the tranny to go into my 99 that has a tired automatic

 

Can't have more than 1 cherokee

 

let us know how that works out for ya, in lets say, 10 years

 

Already been living together for 5, so I guess only 5 left? Lol. Don't see myself getting officially married any time soon.

I like cars, trucks, and horses too much. :P
