New XJ...what did I get??
Hello all
Just purchased an XJ, and I'm excited to start doctoring her up. Future plans include a 3-3.5" lift and 31's on stock rims for moderate wheeling and daily driving. Its a 1995, with 146k and I picked it up for $3000. Decent deal I think, it is in near perfect condition, no rust, no damages.
After I got it home I noticed that it has a skid plate up front. It also has an "orvis" spare tire cover. I assume that the tire cover was from a grand cherokee. There wasn't an orvis xj was there? Do I have the country package if the skid plate is factory? What other goodies might this beast have that I don't know about?
THANKS ALL!!

I hope I do, I didn't notice any other skid plates underneath, but the front end seems to sit higher than most stock xj's i have seen. The leaf springs are super saggy though, they are almost a negative arch.

All I can say is when you give up your Cherokee again, I want those skids before you sell, you know my adress and number lol. I'm just kidding hopefully can stick with this one for awhile. I was going to tell you about getting a build sheet but that's been covered, sometimes they are quick and sometimes like me it can take dang near two weeks. Interest myself to find out if your tow package is stock
