Hello From The San Bernadino Mountains in CALI
Just stoping by to say howdy!
Brought home a 1993 XJ two door today with the (not even close to having power) 2.5. A good friend of mine asked me if I wanted this jeep she had on her ranch, and when I got out there, it turned out to be a pretty straight little red 2 door. She was going to call the scrapper, and I am glad she asked me first. So I got this baby Jeep for $100.00. She wanted to just give it to me but I could not do that knowing it is worth a lot more than even $100.00. So we stuck a battery in it and it fired right up (even with five year old gas). It drove home from down bellow our mountain. It's a 25 mile trip. Did pretty OK. Got the vibes at 50mph, but I kinda expected it. It has a 3.5 spring front lift, and a 3" block in the back. The rear springs are shot, as well as the shocks. So I am new to XJ's, but not Jeep's. I also own two 1976 Wagoneers. One that is a restomod with a 360 C.I.with FITECH FI, and the other one (Has a rich racing history as a tow vehicle for the race team) is a 401 C.I. I'll get pics up soon.

Welcome to the forum! Nice Jeep and good score. I am just down the hill from you at the base of the mountains.

Thanks!
I am starting to really like this little red jeep. I used to say that the XJ's were not "real" jeeps, but I now know it is. It's making it's mark on my driveway just like it's big brothers here!! :laughing: |
Welcome to CF

Welcome aboard and awesome score!

I used to live below you down in the valley.
Now I'm freezing my tail off up here in Washington state. Man I miss those SB mountains. And the smell of sage brush at night. I miss that too. |
XJ's Have always been real jeeps... there the last of the the real jeeps before this crossover movement took over
|
OH I know!
I have always loved these Jeeps. And personally I am Sooooooo happy that Scarlett (that's my new XJs name) is sitting in my driveway. Not to mention how giddy I get driving it around. It is a blast! My SJ friends have been giving me grief however. Every summer we do a SJ thing up in Ouray and many an XJ left others to rust on the trails.:icon_wink: |
