Default new guy from pennsburg pa

hey guys my names stanley, i just bought my first car about two weeks ago, a 1997 jeep cherokee 4.0 4x4 auto. 166,000 miles in decent shape. newer transmission, and tires. the only thing is it needs an engine. no compression in cylinder two and it throws a code for missfires in cylinder one and two. ive been lurking around this sight learning what i could about my new obsession, and now i decided its time to join!! so looking forward to further expanding my knowledge of the xj's.

Hi and welcome from England, sorry no spare engine to ship. Doh!
There must be hundreds of breaking xj's over your side of the pond, good luck with the search.

yes theres plenty around here as ive found. but alot of them have close to as many miles as mine and are asking quite a bit of money. the one in my jeep has 166,000 miles on the original engine and its blown. how many miles do you guys's jeeps have?
