Hey guys, I've had my '95 into the shop twice to get the heat issue looked at - they've flushed the coolant system and replaced the blower motor. The motor was shot and squeaking like crazy, so that was an easy diagnosis for them. The coolant flush showed A LOT of rust and crud in the system...

Thanks for puttign this list together Ian. I've got a teenager on my trail machine, but just picked up a 2nd XJ for daily driver duties and looking to put a baby lift on it. :rattle:

I voted Expedition XJ - gotta have the extra seats for the buddies, or the kiddos, or for sleeping in the back with the rear seat folded or removed. My idea for a "perfect" ExPo XJ would be to include gears and air lockers, bumpers and winch on the front, jerry and spare carrier on rear...

That eliminates the possibility of using it in a street-legal rig then, at least up here... Bummer.

Just an update on this, the 32 gal. Jaz Jeep Speed tank can be bought from Summit: http://www.summitracing.com/search/?keyword=jaz%20jeep%20speed&dds=1 It's just under $630.00 - not too bad. I'm not sure if you'd need any additional parts for the install?

It's kind of funny because when I saw my first RHD XJ for sale online I immediately thought of Australian models. I've been to Aus. twice in my life and i remember seeing a few Xj's on both trips. Carves, what are the diesel engines like that come in the XJ's? I know there was a diesel option...

Ya, the "van" would definitely be unique! I know the Canadian market had some diesel XJ's but from what I've heard they weren't that powerful, nor reliable. However, the van model won't work for me, this XJ will be my daily driver and backup for my wife's minivan when the snow gets deep, and...

I'll definitely be taking some pics when I get it! I'm going to contact the importer again and see what specifically is out there right now in the '95 my and what sort of time frame it would be before I could take delivery. I need to sell my '02 Durango before I put the cash up for the next XJ...

Thanks for all the replies folks, greatly appreciated. And the concensus seems to be that it woudn't be all that beneficial to choose the '96 over the '95, so I guess I'll get the older model. :) To answer your question ChicksDigWagons: I looked online at a few internet stores (US based) that...

I'm just curious if there are any differnces in the model years from 1995 to 1996? I'm actually starting to look into buying an imported RHD XJ from Japan to be used as my daily driver. The the laws in Canada specify you have to wait until the vehicle is 15+ years old, and they measure right...

Will do Steve! I did end up buying that little sleeve thing for screws, just haven't used it yet. But the lift assist came in last Friday from Quadratec, less than a week after I ordered it which is pretty good since it's usually a big delay when anything hits the border. I'm a bit busy with...

I thought that might be the case...

Just curious why there is no signature feature in my user control panel?

Well, they are priced cheaply enough that if they don't work for me, I won't care too much. Thanks, I'll check Home Depot for them sometime this weekend. ;)

Thanks for the continued input on this guys! And I googled the Jaz one, came back with a bunch of hits, and one guy on NAXJA selling his! lol From September '09... :( lol
