I have no pictures of mine but here is the list:

broken gauge bezel
broken heater controls
crappy angle iron roof rack that was bolted to the roof with no stock rails just holes in the roof that had no plates.
a ghetto 3" lift using ford coils and rear blocks.

but I am not complaining I got a 1996 great running cherokee for $1600

The lights must be turned off when the key is in the "on" position.

And a GT Grant wheel. I've been handed worse.

The wheel is in place. The picture is a similar wheel found on the Internet.

nothing too impressive for me, just a spoon under the carpet, some bootleg mixtape CD's of un-signed artists and a crappy system wiring job and they used house speaker wires, all of that has been replaced, all of the smelly carpet has been removed and now the only thing i dont look foreward to is removing the wiring from an old remote starter/alarm system

Wow, I feel very lucky.
96 XJ in pretty much as new condition so far..... Well, maybe not since the T/case isn't particularly sharp at changing out of Part Time, but otherwise it all works perfectly.
Well it did, I broke the electric antenna when trying to oil it....

First service is coming up this weekend, I've no idea what we're going to find

The po left me a big hole. In the dash were the radio was along with all the wiring for it that was realy hacked ,3 or 4 car alarm systems(all not working) a do it your self rear 1/4 panel sub housing( with 138-1/2 inch stapels sticking out to grab you or any thing else that gets close). A pizza hut hat, 4 lug nuts short of a full set. And then after 4 months i found that one day the inside lights stoped working,only to come on realy dim a few moments later,with big amounts of smoke from under the dash. The fuse was there but it was bypassed around the fuse panel strait to the battery. What whent up in smoke so far the itr. Lights, power mirrors ,gas gadge,cruse controll and drivers side door locks.Also it had a toased track bar and tie rod ends.

Traded my car for a truck the other day. I left my sunglasses in it, the old man said nope, never saw em, so I am out about $40.00. Wait till he is in there with the little grand kiddies and listens to the CD and the first song is Limp Bizkit HotDog. Hope they spend the night singing it at home, no more visits to grandpas house!
