84-87 never came with a 4.0, supposedly the firewall wasn't cut deep enough for them.

It's the Laredo model. Not sure when Jeep stopped offering this model in the XJ.
My Laredo was a 1991.

Sorry guys, shared all the info I have at the moment. I will be going to meet the guy and pick it up in a couple of days, so I will find out everything then, and am buying it regardless, just wondered if anyone could narrow it down a bit by looking so I could start shopping around for parts. I know most things would be compatible given the range of years it could be, others not so much maybe. I've wanted to get in the dirt for a while so it's driving me crazy having to sit and wait....haha. Thanks for all the input. The only other thing I know for sure is I will be replacing the rms...which from what I've read seems pretty common.
