Hello everyone Im excited about getting into the awesome community. Im from north Florida and i have been looking for a XJ with a 5 speed well i found it 400 miles away from me (very rare around me) and here it is i bought it for $1200. the thermostat locked up 40 miles away from where i bought it but i took it out (who needs one) it made it home and ive been wrenching on it since. thanks everyone

haha maybe it might have some odds and ends hardware or parts i can get btw cat hardware is the best. But i like the yellow as a novelty and it adds alot of flare. and the PO had put a skyjacker lift kit on it but i have no idea how big or really what else he did to it. It will probably stay that height for a while what size do you think that is 4 inch?
