I've been lost without my XJ (of fifteen years) ever since an abrupt end-of-life incident last year. Every other car I drove in the meanwhile has been unfulfilling. This includes my most recent purchase of a 2010 four door sport sedan (Suby Legacy 3.6R Ltd). It's fast, handles nice, drives too smoothly and has all the latest creature comforts but there's so-o-o much it cannot do (for a Jeep enthusiast, that is).

A close friend of the family is the original owner of this cream-puff WJ. Her "baby", as she always called it, is a 2000 Grand Cheroo Limited V8 with 100k miles on it. Every time I saw her I would tell her the same thing - to the point that hearing it from me must have grown tiresome - to call me when she's ready to sell. She called.

The wife can't know about my little back-room deal (for now) but it's going down this weekend. I'll take this sweet chariot off my friend's hands for something just south of the "Excellent" KBB $$ value, stash it in a nice dry space for a couple/few months and then all hell will break loose as I reveal my secret. The next chapter may prove quite interesting...

 

I'm subbing just to watch this train wreck unfold. Rip man

 

 

Good call getting the jeep.



















































Bad call not letting the wife know.







































Good luck, man....

 

lolol

 

Sleeping on the couch is kinda nice its quiet and you can watch whatever you want on tv.

 

yep. Time to start shopping for most comfortable couch u can find

 

I have a secret ... I don't sent my brown man presents to the house so the wife doesn't know..... I'd get bit*** at like crazy ..... Congrats well worth it

 

Thanks for sharing your secret. Ya' got me wondering about this one. Pardon my ignorance but, what's a "brown man present"?

 

What's all this about having to sleep on the couch? I can sleep in the WJ, can't I? Isn't the cargo area large enough?

 

ups driver lol

 

Oh come on he is the brown Santa ..... You never heard that ...

 

Happy wife happy life. Nice score, bad not telling the wife

 

You make a good point.... I'd check out expedition portal and start taking notes. You may be spending more time in there than you expect Hahahaha
