Ok, I have been doing a lot of thinking about planning on getting rid of my XJ but I think the time has come. I don't have to get rid of it so please do not give any BS offers. Also, I don't want to hear anyone saying "OMG YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO GET THAT MUCH MONEY!!!" I don't care, what I'm asking is fair in my eyes. I have a TJ now and at this point I don't need an XJ this built. I would much rather put a few bucks into the TJ and make it a multipurpose wheeler instead of the few bucks this XJ needs. In the past 3 years I have wheeled this XJ as is. And most of the time it got driven to and from Rausch Creek. I also commuted to and from PA for school for two years with it. So, it is reliable and I still drive it weekly and fix what needs to be fixed as well as do all the fluids when necessary. Here's the lowdown…

I'm sure there are some other little things I am forgetting.
With all the good stuff, it does need some cosmetic work. It could use the corner guards repainted as well as the bumpers. Does it look bad? No, but I'm picky. Also, the drivers side floor is almost gone and the rocker is gone. That was a project I planned on doing but I just never did it. Can easily be repaired by just moving the sliders up. It has a few little clunks and things here and there but thats normal from a lifted jeep. It does have a cracked windshield too. THe motor has a lifter tap when its cold, just like every other 4.0. The driver seat needs a new mount welded as well. Im 6'1" 225 and haven't broken it yet.Again, none of this effects the performance of the Jeep. THis jeep just needs someone to put a good weekend worth of work into it, and thats it. It works great off road and runs blacks all day at Rausch Creek and always got me home at the end of the weekend. I just can't justify having a Jeep that's only purpose for me right now is to run Rausch Creek.
I am asking $3000obo WITHOUT the Toyos. I am asking $4250 firm WITH the Toyos and the Ruff Stuff Steering kit. PM me with offers
