Default Newbie to XJs

Hello all,

I am new to the XJ scene. I picked up a '90 XJ Laredo back in October and have been tinkering with it ever since. Mostly just trying to keep it on the road. I'd like to eventually do more with it.

I used to own a '00 Grand Cherokee. But had to sell that to buy my wife her minivan. Never really did anything other than use it to drive to and from work.

I've been reading up on XJs over the past few months and have found tons of useful info. I'm looking forward to learning even more.

Welcome from TEXAS. I am glad to see that you have picked a Renix era Jeep. They are the 87-90 4.0L Cherokee. That is my specialty. Let me know if you need any info on the Renix.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

I will definitely be posting plenty of questions.

Here's the first one. What is a "Renix" era Jeep? What makes it different from other XJs?

Hey thanks!

I see you are in Salem, VA. Is that right?

I live in Glen Allen...just outside of Richmond.
