Look better and you can make it more yours...
91-95 XJ sport 4.0 auto. If you can find a Country they are the same thing but came 1" taller than any other options. Wouldn't go with a limited. All those options can suck to replace.

How to explain what I was trying to say. I figured someone on this Forum would pop up and ask about that...

And extra weight... and chrysler transmissions... even worse gas mileage than the xj, especially if you have the AWD transfer case that has no 2-hi
