Default Check out this XJ I stole

Ok, I paid $275 for it but, Id say for that, I stole it. Found it on craigslist! The guy wanted $1000. Then I got him down to $600 on the phone. Went to look at it and offered $200. He said the junk yard said they would give him $250. I fired $275 at him and he bit.

needs only what you see and it maybe a head. Hell I drove it down the road and on n off the trailer.

I think im gonna fix it, put a small lift on it and use it as a dd right now. then i can build my 94 bigger. The 2000 dosent have any rust anywhere. the floors are even in great shape.

Nice! well worth the $1900.

Well I just took mine down the road for a drive. When I got back I opened the hood(just to have a look) I opened the air box and wow!

WOW! can you say "Blowby"?
I hope thats just from the head (oil looks milky, I wouldnt drive it any further unless you want to do a full rebuild) and that the bottom end isnt screwed too (bad rings)

yeah, a little at a time. But like I said, I wouldnt drive it any more. Coolant in the oil eats the bearings pretty quick.

The hose that goes to the airbox sucks in (fresh air), the one in the rear that goes to the manifold is the one that pulls out the vapors.
