Default Texas Newbie

I want to start by thanking everyone that contribute to this site. I have been spending WAY too much time reading posts learning what I can. And there is a lot to learn!
1999 xj
144,000m
3 owners don't know much history on it. bought it off car lot.
Its pretty clean. Passenger window switches work and everything else as well....for now. Not sure I like the exterior color but the interior I like better then the grey. Head unit sucks but thats down the list.

Nice looking Jeep. Try some Blue Coral upholstery cleaner on that seat. It worked wonders on my father in laws van removing some nasty coffee and tobacco stains.
