I just got back from test driving it. The body and interior are in excellent condition. Very minimal rust and the rust it does have is only surface rust on parts that don't affect the integrity of the vehicle itself.
I forgot to check what axles it has. I'm hoping it has a non-disco front (anyone know what the chances are?) and I'm assuming it will be the D30? As far as the rear axle goes, what were they available with? I have a D44 if I need something stronger, although it would be nice to be able to leave the factory axles in for at least a little while.
Specs:
$1800
4.0
150,000miles
auto (without "power" switch, is this good or bad?)
Command-trac (I have selec-trac right now, is command stronger?)
Those are the things that matter most to me, so is there anything else I should look for on it that I'm overlooking? I don't know much about the newer Jeeps, I just don't want to get myself into a Jeep that is going to cause problems when it comes to wanting to wheel it.
I have an 87 right now but it's far beyond repair and getting somewhat unsafe to drive. So I will be taking all the stuff off that I can use and build a more reliable rig that I'm not scared to drive further then about 10 miles out of town. So I know a lot about what makes my 87 tick, I just don't know what kind of changes they did because I've never really thought about researching other years of Xjs. So all info will be GREATLY appreciated.
Also I will probably be purchasing it in the next day or two if I have nothing to worry about as far as the drive-train. I want to stop driving my 87 as soon as possible.
Thanks,
Jason
