It's got about that into it, but nobody will ever pay that for it because even though it's basically a brand new built to go wheeling xj, it's still an xj. They are worthless vehicles IMHO. I got one cause I knew I was gonna sink alot into it and never sell it or I would be whooping my own *** when I lose over 6k.
They are just not worth the price these guys are asking.
I see the first one at 3-4k and the second at maybe 7-10k

If that gold one was 4000$ I would buy it today cash. I don't even want the thing. But know I could make money on it.

I'm not gonna lie, it's a nice jeep...but it's still an xj on stock gears and 33" ATs.
Yeah it's got a fancy bumper, a lift and some steering....doesn't make it a over 4k jeep IMHO.
Someone else may pay over that for it...but I sure wont

Well yea. I wouldn't want it. But around here 4 grand won't get you anything that nice. I paid 3400 for mine and it was not even remotely close to as clean as that one

Wow, that one wouldn't go for anything close to 7 here in Texas. And Idk if it's just the age but I see 87-96 xjs go for 1-2k here all day lol. Including my 88 i got for 1000$ about 2 years ago. It was lifted 3" and had some kc lights but that's all it had going for it. Barely could drive it home lol. Once some new rubbers it drove great.
Now it's been completely torn down and rebuilt but either way, xjs just arnt worth what you put into them IMHO. If you want something that you can dump money into and someone will pay high dollar for, get a wrangler.

Here you throw big tires on it (good ones) cool bumpers and as long as it's not rusted it's a 4000$ xj. I have had wranglers. I like the xj better. But yea they are not worth as much.

To the op look for a stock xj and have it built your way,Its cheaper to do it this way then buy someone else's problems that become your problems.
