Default just picked up a 94 XJ
My dad bought this new back in 1993 when I was 12. He recently bought a Ridgeline and decided he didn't want to bother with the Jeep anymore so he gave it to me. It has 191k and quite a bit of floorboard/rocker panel rust but it runs pretty good. Its a 5 speed which is fun.








did my first mod/repair today..still had the original front shocks and they were not happy





was going to do the rears too but apparently they were done in 2010 and when one of the bolts broke the mechanic decided to just weld the shock to the body lol


not really sure if I should bother with the rears or not since they are fairly new, but they seem to be worse than the KYBs I put in the front.

Thanks. Someone actually had "wrXJ", but they only posted 9 times back in 2010 so I figured they wouldn't mind.
