Default New to JEEP

Hey guys my name is Nate. im completely new to jeep. i brought my 93 XJ with 241k miles for $800. 4.0 i6 and 4x4 of course. somewhat glad i got something so old with manual features. less complicated stuff to break on me. when i first got it and while i was looking i had no intention of modding this jeep ( i have something else im working on) but this is such a great platform im already caving. once i get the maintence taken care of ill start modding. (build thread to come) ive already got a few things in mind. ill keep everyone posted and ill have alot of questions so bear with me. here are pics of my stock XJ.













EDIT: the blown out tire was from the previous owner

Welcome!
First thing to know is it's dangerous to call you jeep a "car" on this forum. Ha

I feel like I've been VERY fortunate with this find. I plan to make it my baby. And last for as long as possible. It's been about a week and I'm already in love. Build thread is soon to come. I'm looking forward to learning alot including how to work on my own vehicles. I'll have to post pics of the underside. For a 93 it looks amazing. I'll be applying bed liner soon.
