it certainly is red...price is a little high, but if it is the one you want, get it

for cheap easy lift, hit the junkyard for:
ZJ V8 front coils (upcountry if you can find them)
WJ lower front control arms (has the bend for extra tire clearance)
S10 rear springs (use as add a leaf to lift height you want)

Good looking xj but like everyone else has said, overpriced. Go in with 3600-3800 and don't go more than 4k. x2 on taking someone with you that has ZERO attachment to the Jeep. I agree with purple, why did he need to change the valve cover? Also, all those parts are general maintenance - no reason to up the price.
The tires are gonna rub, easy fix is a spacer shackle lift - 1.5" spacer and 95-98 Chevy 1500 shackles. You're also gonna need to look into either wheel spacers, properly back spaced rims, or WJ front arms (require some grinding) to keep them from rubbing on the LCA's.

I have it now guys. Runs superb. It has 4.10 gears and hauls buns off the line.... The super swampers are loud and annoying but really set this XJ off. It's actually NP231 too guys.... I love it, got 6 injectors, intake manifold 99+, cai, and throttle body for too. All in all $4400. I got radar detector too.... He has a 700 rwhp GTO that he showed me, it's twin turbo.

She was actually much more dirty then this because I power washed right after the 1st time, I did it again because I was showing some friends. Went through some deep ruts where I was flooring it but doing less then walking pace, it was soft squishy clay(the worst) that your shoe sank in 2 inches if you even stepped on it. This is aftermath, oh yeah my font right bumper cap fell off but I reattached it temporarily....
