Hey guys, as the title states, I'm thinking about picking up an XJ. My DD is a 2012 Mustang GT, so this would be an inclement weather / weekend offroad toy.

I'm currently looking at a 1994 Cherokee:
- Cherokee Sport 2 Dr, 4x4
- 5 Speed manual
- 112k miles
- 4.56 front and rear lockers
- Rubicon 5.5 Extreme Duty lift
- Custom fab rear bumper w/ tire carrier & rock sliders
- Pro fab front bumper w/ Warn winch
- Air compressor
- Warrior Products roof rack
- Line-Xed interior
- Removable doors
- Throttle on gear shift lever
- BFG KM2 (33 10x50) Mud Terrains w/ 2k miles
- New gas tank.
- 8-50W offroad lights
- CB Radio

It just had the trans serviced and master / slaver cylinders replaced about 1000 miles go.

Seller is asking $4,500, which I think it a fair price for all the kit.

So my question is two-fold:
1) Is it worth the price?
2) Is there anything in particular that deserves close attention on a mid 90s XJ before purchasing? For example, I know that there is a documented issue with the crank / cam position sensors, as well as the ABS wheel speed sensors for that year, but otherwise I'm not real sure. To be honest I'm a little nervious given than the truck's 17 years old, but I've heard thery're good up to around 300k miles...

Thanks,
Andrew

 

miles are good being that old, but whats the body and interior like? they better be near perfect for that asking price. take at least a thousand off that and still kinda high....welcome....might wanna start thread in cherokee chat

 

Hey Andrew. Modified/lifted jeeps aren't worth the money that were put into them, and have "usually" had the snot rung out of them. That being said, it is a little overpriced compared to a stock XJ. It's usually better to build it rather than buy it.
