XJ Shopping

I currently have a 75 SJ Cherokee, but want something smaller to wheel with.

I've found an 88 XJ with a 4.0, NP231, D44, and auto. The Jeep is pretty rusty, and I haven't heard it run. Currently has 140k on the clock..they are looking to get $1,100.

First how does that price sound?
Second, is the case/axle combo more important than looking for a XJ with a newer HO 4.0?

Thanks!

mmmmmmmm.........d44

sounds high for a rusty xj, but if it runs good thats pretty low miles for the year and you will have a nice one to build around with the rear 44.

You also have a vacuum disconnect problem to worry about in the front...the rear is a great find though
