Default Hi from the UK

Thought I'd finally get around to introduce my XJ as I've been lurking on here for a while. Great site btw.

It's a 1999 Orvis 4.0 auto RHD. I bought it nearly a year ago as I've loved these Cherokees for years but was holding out for the best one I could find. The Orvis was a model only available in Europe with a higher specification than the Limited. Basically it has pretty much every option ever available on an XJ and also an upgraded interior with more (fake) wood and leather than a Limited. When I bought it, it had one owner from new with 70,000 miles and had been serviced every 3,500 miles! It is pretty immaculate

Since I've had it I have added a 3" Rough Country lift kit and 31" BFG AT tyres. Makes it look a bit tougher! Here's some pictures from wheeling in the Peak District in Derbyshire yesterday and one of the interior. Let me know what you think.

Thanks for all the comments. Wheeling in this country is a bit limited and most trails are quite short. I'm envious of all of you guys.
