Wow. I really hope that doesn't mean what I think it means.

That would have startled me though. I put this one song on my driving playlist which had an awfully obnoxious tire screech and crash sound at the end (???) which just so happened to play EXACTLY as I take a turn, causing me some anxiety for a second, as I first think the tires are mine and then look around to see who crashed... I felt so smart.

all I got with my Jeep was rust in the boot and driver's floor (and gutters)..thanks to it being owned by a skipper. But that's what wire brushes, rust converter and anti corrosive primers are for

Buggy remote start that wouldnt let the jeep turn off without pressing it about 4 times (key didnt matter)

Non working power locks or door cylinders
Pass window wouldnt go up
Hatch wouldnt stay up
Broken radio install kit
Passenger side speakers not wired up
Ghetto ran red leds under dash
Muffler fixed with coffee can
leaky valve cover
basicly no rockers
Looks like cookie monster took a bite out of driver rear quarter wheel well under flair
40% ish tread 33s A/T with a brand new 32 M/T as spare (What????)

Good (I Guess)
Unknown 4.5 lift pretty sure rough country
Eagle alloys
Tinted windows
Stack of receipts from work done over the years adding up to around $7k (not including lift or tires)

Fixed almost all the issues just need to install the new rear quarter i bought (Not looking forward to that) and make my rocksliders as rockers that I already bought the metal for.

Cool

OK here's the rant! Either you were too cheap OR too STUPID to just spend $35 & buy the trailer light adapter kit. You (or the other moron who owned this XJ & tried to install trailer light wiring) Didn't just splice wires once you did it TWICE! And guess what??????????? You were wrong BOTH times! I'm happy you didn't destroy the factory wiring & I was able to remove the God awful excuse of a job you did. Lights on jeep still work & I'll be hooking it to the trailer Sunday. And there will be LIGHT!

40 rds. of 9mm scattered around the interior.
A recoil spring for a glock (I think)
1 7.62x39 round.
$7.00 in change under the seats and carpet.
A nifty homemade gun rack on the roof that my M4gery fits into almost perfectly.
A long list of mechanical issues.
And a pretty fun jeep to beat on.

A remote start system! I don't think the guy even knew it had remote start, because he never mentioned anything about it during the sale.

Also a 10 disc cd changer, and a power sunroof!

Oh and a huge hole in the headliner that was covered up by the overhead console which was held up by a self tapper

A 3 inch lift that was coil spacers up front and S-10 bastard packs in the rear
31x10.5r15 Hankook Dynapro MT's on 15x8 Procomp rock crawler rims
Hack and Tap SYE and a ZJ drive shaft
tow hooks and 2 inch receiver with trailer wiring
side steps

I've since then dramatically upgraded the lift, and fixed a few things. I honestly bought it because it was green, was a police package, had the SYE and ZJ drive shaft, and I liked the tires and rims. So far pretty happy with it.

I found some leaves in the coolant overflow tank. Not even a few leaves, but a whole little branch with several leaves still attatched, and green too. Kinda weird.
