I found a 92 XJ on CL. The guy wanted $500 for it but its in need of alot.

1. Carpet shot
2. Hole in radiator
3. Pass front fender
4. Engine has a low end knock (I think)
5. Windshild
6. Rear seat
7. Did not run untill I disconnected the alarm (he thought I needed to tow it and he wanted more once running)

I did drive it home and the guy was not happy about all the issue's I found but he wanted it gone. He told me he has been driving it with the engine knock for 4 years. It still has power and I was hard driving it once I got close to my home with no issue.

I know I'm cheap but I do think this will be the next rig.

Now I need to do
1. remove carpet & rhino line
2. 3x6 rocker replacement
3. Frame stiffies
4. Flairs
5. Cage tied into it all.
6. Put my lift on it

And all of this before NWF. What do ya think?

Paul I would think with that many rig and trailers you may qualify as a dealer. Maybe a tax break or some thing

Well this thread has gotten a little off topic. We should start a thread on home parking lots :wierd:

Dave, I think you should probably fix the engine knock before armoring it up...

It can only run into so many trees with an engine failure, haha.

Sounds like a pretty good deal though!
