New to XJ
 

This is my 4th Jeep. I keep coming back to the brand.
So far, I've had a 2004 TJ Rubicon, a 2003 WJ Overland, 2011 JKU Sahara
and now - a 2000 XJ Classic.

Just picked it up a few weeks ago.
Looking forward to fixing it up and customizing it somehow. Still searching for that right inspiration.
Planning on using more for a daily driver than an off road beast...(don't hate me)

I'm new to XJ and tinkering so I'm learning a LOT by watching videos and reading posts I find on here.
Gained a lot of info from this forum so I thought I would sign up.

I can tell someone already has done work on the jeep - I just don't know what all or the details.
It has a lift, but I don't know what or how high
It has bigger wheels - but I don't know how big.
I /think/ they've swapped the tc (has command trac)
and the seats have been swapped for leather seats from a limited?

Right now - it's at the local garage to check it over - said there were quite a few things so we'll see what they say later
Maybe I'll start a "build" thread - we'll see.

Anyway - hi all - and we'll see where this ends up.

First welcome.
Second go here and get the build sheet for your Jeep:

https://fcacommunity.force.com/RAM/s/equipment-listing

I want to say that a Classic could come with a Command Trac but not sure.
Looking up your build sheet will confirm one way or the other.
Same with the leather.

Don't feel bad. I have spent the last 6 years sourcing factory options for my '00 XJ Sport
that she did not come with. She is just a DD herself and all she will ever be while I own her.

Build Sheet
 

I had previously run across that link and received my build sheet yesterday via email. I had no idea you could even do that kind of thing - very cool of Jeep. I'll copy it below
It does list Selec-Trac - and the cloth "agate" seats - but I'm still processing through the rest of it.

Me thinks I was a little hasty in getting it - I've learned quite a bit more about the different styles / options / etc this last week.
I had no idea there was even a Selec-Trac transfer case - (as my TJ had Command Trac) Thinking I'd rather have had the full-time 4wd - as I think it should help one off the line quicker - but maybe not. Seems there is more support / options for the 231 - and the mechanic says he prefers the simpler / less complex version that I have.

I see it lists the California Emission package - I'll have to see how much of that is still in there - and if I can get rid of it.
Supposedly, a previous owner has done some exhaust modifications to it - but it was the guy before the guy I got it from - and he didn't have a lot of details. It sounds pretty throaty - and the exhaust tip is straight out and a flattened oval shape. (so I'm hoping it's legit - and not just shot)

I looked at the local CL ads and even salvage yard listings (copart)
Went and looked at a couple - and picked this one because it had the least rust! (Michigan)
Rocker panels still look fairly solid. SO I'm hoping the rest isn't too bad.

I'll know more when I get the call back from the shop today - hopefully this morning time
We'll see how bad or good of an investment I made.

So as I suspected you have many options I thought you might.
It Being a Classic.
To me low back buckets mean removable headrest ones.
But I think the build sheet would indicate leather. They do come in a cloth version too.
So that swap might have been done.
Overhead, Icons, all the stuff I have already installed in my Jeep or am trying to source to do so.
Mine is just an '00 Sport. More basic but with some stuff.

yeah - those wheels are long gone
I haven't looked up what's on there now - but they require a wheel spacer
Only thing I've done to it so far is the rear breaks. Lugs were on so tight I had to get a new break bar from cheap tool store.
Then a few days later - driving on the highway with the family - long story shortened - after emergency exit - stopping at the gas station
when my dad arrived with the jack - the back driver wheel spacer lugs had all come loose and there was nothing holding the rim on!!
Fortunately - it did not come off while driving - and I was able to just put it back together - and torque the crap out of all the lugs after that.

SO - already a fun time in the jeep.

I didn't know what the Icon wheels looked like - so I did a search
and found an old thread on here - someone selling a 2000 classic that had a boat load of pictures and their build sheet
so pretty much a twin to mine in most areas
https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f70/20...ic-4x4-233436/

mostly minor differences - smoker's group, power seat, fog lamps, full size spare, etc.
Different TC listed.

does anyone know what this is?
NBN Northeastern States Tracking

And if there is a difference between NAEP and just NAE California Emissions?

There are the cloth removable headrest seats that I was talking about.
I am going to assume the tracking thing is just a delivery to the dealer thing

FWIW - picked up the jeep from the garage - and looked again at the transfer case shift level - and I totally have the Selec-Trac 231
I feel like such a noob.
