hey everyone! 3 year owner of this beautiful former USFS XJ. His name is Smokey. He’s a 1999 4.0L 4x4 with a standard transmission and 157k miles. Pretty much stock except for some hood vents. Recent work done: brand new a/c compressor, O2 sensors, tires, and power steering hoses. I nicked one of my old power steering hoses when i was cleaning the engine and hard turns caused fluid to squirt on the block! Those blue flames are not a sight you wanna see! Goodies: CB radio, weatherteched thru and thru, corbeau retro bucket driver seat, Thule roof rack, viper alarm, and a little hidden kill switch in the rear ash.

My life with Smokey: I bought him in 2015 in San Diego where he had lived his whole life (he was commissioned in SoCal’s Cleveland National Forest). I count myself extremely lucky in that i have every maintenance record since the green beast’s birth. I had him in San Diego for six months, then I shipped him to Puerto Rico where i lived for a year and a half. After that i shipped him back to SoCal—lived in LA for about six months, then last year i hooked a uhaul to the hitch and moved to Alabama. Here we’ve been ever since.

Current projects: fixing my drooping headliner, getting my front passenger door to open from the outside (something is stuck in the lockwork), and replacing my fuel pump (turns over a few more times than I’d like when I start it in hot weather). Future goals: debating between modding and selling.
