Default From The Netherlands/Holland. Dutch XJ - update page.2

Hello all,

Coming From Europe, Holland and have an 1988 cherokee Limited.
next spring the car get's an 3" Lift with new tyres, thinking of General AT's.
the XJ has no rust, only sometimes she can really be a b*tch. starting in one time, after few minutes trying to start the engine again and nothing happened.
all 8.000 miles the car get's new air-filter & oil change. the filter include.
341.xxx kilometers has the engine run already. and next friday were going together to Germany.

pic's of my old cherokee.







also member ot JeepForum.com

today ive got home, back to holland again

here some pic's







on some points of the road hit the needle at 190 km/h sorry folks, no photo of that, make some later the next time ive go to germany

hello rooster, thnx for the info.
before i go to germany, i make sure that i have checked up those wirrings.
the story behind my US-spec tail lights isnt that fun.
some idiots broke in my jeep and have stolen my car radio, some dash covers also my tail lights and spare-wheel.
the jeep parked that night in front of my house

total damage about 1200 euro, the glass cost the most.

here's an older picture of my jeep, so you can see the older state how the XJ whas before.




can't wait when my jeep's finaly has lifted

Welcome to the forum. I've spent a lot of time in Eindhoven. I can't imagine driving my Xj on some of those streets.

today, the horror came true, after it's finaly dry here after few days of rain, ive found some rust now

its behind the rearwheel, under the passengerdoor behind the driver side.
found some rustbubles, pushed with little force on it but it seemed not total rotten now. so ive could save that piece.
as soon as i'm home i'm fix it. also doing the other side.

Hi and wolcome. Nice rims you got there. I´m looking for those golden rims on my limited I was litle worried about high milage on my limited but it´s only driven 265000km. I see that yours is driven much more. Those engines are very solid and reliable

hello jeepson, mine has now all stock 349.000 kilometers on it. reliable are the XJ's for sure.
sometimes got electronical failures, but cheap to repair.
only spareparts are hard to get, not impossible.

now in germany, jeepparts are expensive. also they don't really like old american cars, only there tiny vw's and opels.

today got to the city andernach getting pizza, hope they are little friendly to the lost canadian import jeep

Of all the german car types you just had to name the two worst car types that the german have made. hehe. But lets hope they wil be nice to the jeep. Here in Iceland american cars are very popular.
