Jeep XJ

I take it you got it.

Congratulations.

It looks good from here.

I am guessing those wheels are 16", unless they are an aftermarket look alike. That is good. That means a WJ brake swap will be that much easier if you ever find yourself wanting to go that route.

With the "4x4" being painted over on the rear hatch I am guessing something has been done with bodywork on the back. A critical look at the back half would be in order. I also wonder if something happened with the hood latches at some point. I don't know why else someone would put in hood pins.

If you get an opportunity to get it up on a lift and can get a bunch of pictures of the underside that will tell us more about it.

The hood latch isn’t working so it has pins. Rear tailgate latch needs to be replaced. Right now there is a pin holding it closed. I’ll try and get some pictures of the undercarriage. I figure it will have some issues since it’s almost 20 yrs old.

I had rust under a fender flare. Turned into a year long recovery! RUST NEVER SLEEPS.

Thank you. It really took a little over a year start to finish. That's why I posted so the OP might expect the unexpected.

What do you have for a lift? What size tire do you have on the XJ?

Not to hijack this thread but......
It's a 3inch Rough Country with Cooper 31/10.5 15"s and Bilstiens 5100 shocks, one ton Ruff Stuff complete front end. Everything new inside and out. What a money pit
