This thread should have been started a few months back when I bought the Jeep, but alas here we are several months down the road.
Purchased: 99 XJ Sport - Black Exterior
My best friend in college had one of these and I just loved it. I don't really know why, because I hadn't ever been into the 4wd hobby (mostly import hot rods). I didn't want to spend the money on another F-150 to get some relief from having to drive my STI anytime I wanted to leave. It also gets bad in the winter once in a while and as I live kinda off the beating path something utilitarian and capable was of interest.
Suffice to say, the purchase price wasn't bad but it's turned into a much bigger project than I had anticipated.
Parts I've Replaced:
