To the PO of my XJ... You suck... That is all...

 

To my dad,


Thanks?

Lol... Ol girl just got put in my name last week

 

Thanks to the guy who owned my cherokee. Thanks for welding the track bar nut to the frame mount, which was ALSO welded. I spent a full day with a grinder, cutting that damn bracket loose, while trying not to destroy the bracket. Did you ever, in the 15 years you owned it, look at anything on the front end (other than the track bar)? control arm bushings-shot. Shocks - shot. tie rod ends - shot. ball joints - shot. I'm not sure what caused the engine fire, but I appreciate the new engine, but did you have to be that cheap, and put all the old charred and melted crap back on it? I appreciate the Rancho lift, new BFG AT's, the MSD total system, and the impeccable interior.

 

You either bought it with your eyes closed, or chose to take it like it was. Why complain now?

 

Because I bought the old girl from a guy in Phoenix, and had it shipped to OK. So, in a way my eyes were closed. The only real difference from pictures and video, were the scorched valve cover, caps, etc. Got any more smart *** remarks?

 

I came out yesterday morning to find a peice of sheet metal laying on the ground under the jeep. It was about 8'' wide by about 13'' long. When I bent down to see what the deal was, turns out there was a hole in the floor the size of my fist that the PO tried to cover up. He didnt cut out the rusty metal, he didnt trim the new metal to fit properly, he didnt weld it in place, he didnt rivet it into place, nor did he even bolt it in place.

What he did was used caulking around the hole, or what looks like it could have possibly been seam sealer and just slapped it up into place, then he coated it with what looks like roofing tar.

Needless to say that now I have to deal with the rotting floor in my jeep,

THANKS BUD. You're a hero.

 

to not the po i bought it from but the one before that thanks for not welding the door on right and thank you for in stead of finding the short in the tail light wireing thank you fro wiring around it leaving live wires shorting out.

all is fixed now. including the steering colum main shaft that was only held in by a bolt and clip.

 

My story is not as bad as some of yours but here it goes!
Dear PO,
Thanks for the tweety bird sticker on the back window, I took those off as soon as I got home.
Thanks for spilling your soda everywhere (including inside the stereo) and not cleaning it up. It took forever to clean up, but I got a free Carrie Underwood cd out of the stereo!
Thanks for the "small rip" in the drivers seat.
Thanks for the great tires, one ended up going flat up on the mountain and I had to drive back down it on that stupid donut tire!
Thanks for putting an amp under the back seat and taking it out before I got it, but left those wires EVERYWHERE!
Thanks for the cracked windshield.
But
Thank you for a overall very well taken care of Jeep.
Thank you for the very minimal rust spots on the body, especially with all the salt they use here in Utah.
Thank you for the speakers you put in the back, I really enjoy those.
Thank you for the radio that's really nice, and leaving the remote too!
Thank you for the 3 inch lift you put on it, I can take that off the list of things to buy.
Thank you for the deal, I paid 1200 when you really wanted 2500.
But I really wanted to thank you for selling my Jeep to me!

 

I was a question, not a remark. What was smart-*** about that? I asked a legitimate question, you answered. Little touchy, aren't you?
