Hey y'all,
I've been struggling with the decision to keep or sell my XJ. I bought it two years ago, blissfully unaware to how much rust it had (previous owners did a good job hiding it with undercoating).
Since then, I have been dumping money into it. It has received a new axle out of a 99', frame repair, floor pan replacement, and a bunch of lift components, among lots of other things.
I posted it for sale and want to be honest with buyers about rust and what its been through. I've been looking for rust-free replacements, but there aren't many clean ones left. I'm pretty sure I could get in the $4k range for it as it sits. 127k original miles, 4.0 aw4. Its somewhat a unique jeep.
What would you do? Worth keeping, or just try to start over? I love it and have planned to keep it a long time, but as a broke student it just sucks up all my damn money. Photos for reference
