Default Picked up another XJ





I just picked up another 2000 Cherokee XJ

it has:
Front and rear Dana 44s with 4.10s w/e lockers
Rusty’s 6.5 Longarm kit
15” wheels with beadlocks on 35s
has a belly & gastank skid plate
ARB front bumper with a smittybilt wench
Home built rear bumper with a swing arm and spare mounted
CB Radio
mounted onboard Air system
Bolt in rollbar
Frame stiffners
Rocksliders
OR Fab Rear Armor
Unknown brand light bar

the bad:
Engine was pissing coolant and wouldn’t run so I’m debating which way I want to go with a new engine. Probably a stock rebuild for now so I can drive it until I can V8 swap it since I have another XJ that I’ll be doing a more mild build on.

PO also chose not to run a front sway bar so I’ll be buying a new kit with quick detach in the near future. Once I get a bunch of parts piled up I’ll start a build thread but just wanted to share.

Ive been researching on this forum and others and it seems most say to stay away from reman engines. I’ve been trying to find recommendations for local builders but no luck yet.
