Hey all, My name is Jason and I just bought my first jeep. Its a 2001 yellow 2 door with 120k on the odometer. I've been going throughout the car to make sure everything is working before I jump into modifications but the first couple upgrades will involve tint, exhaust, bilstein shocks, and replacement springs (leafs are sagging). Anyways, I attached a picture of it next to my other, much lower, car.
Welcome to the forum! Don't see many yellow XJ's around. Looks really clean!
Don't mean to scare ya, but make sure you keep the motor cool. 2000 & 2001 XJ's come with the 0331 head which is notorious for developing a crack between cylinders 3 & 4. Do a good cooling system check, and make sure you aren't mysteriously loosing coolant.
I'd personally upgrade the cooling system first before anything else so you don't risk overheating and cracking the head.
