So picked up the new XJ yesterday (pics)

So I introduced myself about a week ago. And well I had mentioned I was in the market for a XJ to build a trail only rig. Well I finally found what I was looking for and picked it up yesterday. It is a 1987 XJ 4 door, has the 4.0 and a standard trans. Only thing it does have that I dont like is the vacuum disco axle, but I will hopefully be going full size soon. Anyway on to the pics nothing special but I see a diamond in the rough! My goal; is to have it ready and capable enough for the Easter Moab trip next year.

Yeah it was rode hard and put away wet, but for 500 bucks cant beat it as a starting platform!
Question, It says Limited on the front fender. What exactly is the difference with this model compared to the base model?
