Hey guys, not sure if I'm in the right section but I reviewed others and couldn't decided where was best (haven't been on the boards since my build thread years ago). Big brother wants to buy an XJ, he's good with cars and looked at this thing once, says its clean and looks good but will be going back tomorrow to test drive it. I am skeptical of this rig since its been on this dealers lot for a year and has an RC lift on it (add a leaf rear, and maybe RE shocks unless they're painted). Interior of truck looks good, engine sounds fine.
I've been around Jeeps a while and know this 99 should have cap/rotor ignition, HP30 front and a 29 (vs 27) spline rear 8.25 CryCo rear end. Also given year shouldn't have that weird head gasket issue. Can confirm on rear end. If you have any corrections to my knowledge on this let me know!
Only other question is, would you buy it? They're asking 6k. Him and I are thinking no more than mid $4,000. Its has NP231, 4.0L and 180k on the clock.
Thanks everyone! Sorry in advance to any moderator that has to push me to another section, wasn't sure if I was in the right one. Cheers! - Eric
