Hey y'all!

Tomorrow at 9.15 am (GMT +1) I'm leaving on a bus to buy myself, gf and the dogs another XJ.
It's a 1997 XJ, black, all stock. 82 642 miles (133 000 km). 4.0, AW4, NP242. Gray leather interior, so limited? No rust!
Since July 2012 the following have been changed:
Battery
Exhaust manifold
Muffler
O2 sensor
6,5" speakers front doors
2 new extra headlights in front grillguard

All luxury except seat warmers. Everything works except:
Fog light button - broken. Easy JY fix.
An electric glitch to rear speakers, come on and off every now and then.

Some other goodies:
4 Hella 3000 mounted on the roof rack (though the PO has drilled a hole in the roof for electricity, but no leaks.)
Big roof rack from a transport van.
High brand dogs gates.
2 sets of tires, summer 30/9.5-15, winter 235/75-15 w/ studs.
Block heater and small inside space heater (common here in the "Arctic" )
Expensive plastic sun tint on back windows (easy to remove and keep heat out)

Price: 40 000 SEK = $6,150 (socialist-Sweden, expensive...)
This is gonna be a big step from our old Dolly from 1990!

Just wanted to write my excitement off a bit for my helpful forum buddies!

 

Cool congrats don't forget to take pictures so we can see

 

There is no reason not go with luxury and style when Jeeping,,

Congrats **

 

Lets see some pics!

 

Geez hold on, pics are coming!
Gotta pick her up first...

I have some pictures the seller sent me, but I want to have the title in my name first!

 

On the bus now! 8 hours to go! Jesus...
Over 500 km to drive with the new one tonight!

 

That's that!
An 8-hour bus ride and 6-hour drive and 6-hours worth of sleep now, we're home!
Pics will come when it gets bright outside...

 

Congrats!

 

Well fella's, here it is!

I say "it" since we haven't decided on a name yet! And I apologize for the cardboard up front, the PO put it there and I just didn't care for now...


Side shot! See Dolly in the back...


Starting to look like a badass driveway now! Notice the red pos ford under the snow...


What do you boys think?? I'm stoked!

 

Nice! Looks like you did good! What was the PO thinking though with the cardboard??? What purpose does that serve except for blocking air flow?

 

dont they put the canvas covers on big trucks to keep the engine warm in the winter?

 

Yes on Diesel's not Gas

 

He said the heat was a lil low inside so sometimes we block the radiator with some cardboard. Helps out a bit..
Common thing when it's -25 Celsius for a few days...

 

or even colder like it is up here sometimes....i actually made/had a little piece that gets installed preemptively when i know we are in for a cold snap. puts less stress on things. when its -35 and i'm on the freeway...i get little to no heat without one.

cool jeep! have fun with it!

 

Yeah cold is not good for autos...
