Stolen 98 2-door, Oakland

[McKannix]

Hey XJ Peeps-

My 98 2-door 5-speed was stolen out of my driveway today...
Black, 4.5 RE flex lift, XJ steelies painted black with 31.5 MT's.
JCR front bumper with hitch receiver, CB mount tab on driver front fender, home-made 2-bar roof rack, Mastercraft driver's seat, Tom Woods driveshaft, gas tank skid plate... you know- all the usual stuff.
Just a shout into the dark in case anyone sees it-


Thanks,
Scott

That just plain suck. When my 1994 was stolen out the driveway in Miami it felt like a gut punch. And it was not running, parts were missing after an accident.
For a while I thought the XJ steal craze had ended then a few days ago I saw online the resale price for some, and I got scared again. $13,000 to 18,000 with up to 175,000 miles.

Sorry to hear.. any photos you can post or a license plate #? Will keep a look out up in greater Sacramento area.

Here's one from early days.
CA 5HVM173.

Now has black steel XJ rims w/ 31.5 MT tires, 4.5" lift.
Custom track bar stiffener.
No front drive shaft - just re-geared rear (8.25) but hadn't installed the new gears, shafts, Eaton locker, etc. in the front (Dana HP) - all in the back, sadly.
The rig and the parts being gone is bad, but man, the hours of work!
Thanks

Hope you will recover that in one piece.
