It looks really nice, I wish mine was a 2 door.

The lift looks higher in the front than the back. Is that normal?

Good looking '96 - might be worth it if the AC was operational. I paid $1900 for my '96 - same 5-speed model w/ AC. Needed tires and a windshield. With bits and tuneup parts I'll have a around $2600 in my as a stocker with 235/75-15 Geolanders.

Am I blind or is the total odometer mileage not listed? If not, probably a reason for that, in other words probably at or over 200k. Even so, with all that stuff included, three grand ain't a bad deal.

It says 4.5 inch rustys lift, and a little further down it says procomp heavy duty offroad rear springs. Maybe the leafs are older and started to sag or maybe they are a little lower to begin with. It doesn't seem to unusual for Cherokees to sag in the rear though so I'm not sure what to tell you because I'm no expert but maybe my thoughts will help you a little lol

I forgot to paste the od reading in. It has about 196,000 on it. History report has 2 acccidents 1999 and 2004. 3 owners

Good looking '96 - might be worth it if the AC was operational. I paid $1900 for my Flame Red '96 - same 5-speed model w/ AC and manual windows and locks. Needed tires and a windshield. With bits and tuneup parts, I'll have a around $2600 in my as a stocker with 235/75-15 (29") Geolanders.

pre-wheeled xjs scare me

whats a pre-wheeled Xj

if the thing runs good and you are satisfied with the mods it already has i think it is a real deal. if you are going to start lifting it higher, change wheels and tires, etc.... i would look for a similar rig that is not modified and start from scratch. you could probably buy one for half the money. that way you would get what you want. if you like the mods and wouldn't change anything it is dirt cheap considering what the mods cost and the fact they are already installed. if the new a/c condenser is included it won't cost much to have it installed.

I love the way it looks except for maybe being lower in the back.

A main concern I may have is how well it drives. I wrote the seller and he says he drives it on the highway 70-80 mph everyday to work. He says he had the "front end aligned by a jeep off road master".

With lifted jeeps like this is the death wobble a reoccuring issue or commom issue? Or once alligned your good?

The truck will be a DD for me.

I would walk.....
You can find unmolested 98-00 models here for $3200.
I missed one last year very similar specs and lift for $1600.
IMO there is better deals out there.
