FS: 2000 XJ Sport 3" Pro Comp Lift

[mortalim]

I have a black 2000 XJ that I put about $2200 into and proceeded to roll onto it's side :twak:.

I have it posted on craigslist.
http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/3079495462.html

It did not roll all the way over so the damage is just the right side, and a little kink in the b-rail. It does already have a salvage title, which I found out when I registered it in CO - so the left side isn't perfectly straight - but you can't really see it without looking closely. All the left side parts are good. The interior is in really good condition still. The hood needs paint.

A Few Facts:
115k Miles
New Fuel Pump 6 months ago.
Pro Comp 3" lift (stock leaf springs and add-a-leafs replaced with: see below)

Stuff Recently Installed and Cost Paid:
BPI Fab Front winch bumper with bull bar. $650
Set of (4) Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac 31x10.50 r15. (Still Like New) $180ea
Skyjacker 3" Softride Leaf Springs ~$400
Ball Joints $60
Pro Comp ES3000 rear shocks (front are ES9000 w/original lift) ~$90
Of course I installed everything myself, besides the tires.

Just trying to recover some of the cost so I can start a new project!

I'm either looking for parts (right fender, right doors, windshield), willing to sell the bumper and the tires (but I don't really want to part it out), or the whole thing as it is. I'd like to get $2000 as it is, or $600 for the tires, and $600 for the bumper. Or tell me if this is totally unrealistic and make me an offer.

Did you get insurance money or liablity only because it is a salvage vehicle? Honestly, you have alot of nice stuff on the Jeep and the Jeep itself probably runs real well, I would try and find a 97 up in bad shape mechanical wise, but has a decent rust free straight body and swap all your 2000 stuff to it........ You are not going to get to the level of your 2000 XJ selling it for $2000 and buying something new to you and fresh that is not another XJ you can transfer all the parts to............. Just food for thought and my 2 cents , who ever gets the whole Jeep for $2000 is getting a really good deal.... good luck!

Thanks for the input! I did get some insurance money though I chose to keep it and drive for a bit while I go shopping for something else - maybe one of those new JKs with the minivan engine. JK stands for "just kidding". Or maybe not? The salvage value was $1600 - hoping to get that plus a little for my effort.

It definitely runs well. I'm not sure I have the time to do all the swapping but I've certainly considered it and even came close to buying another XJ of the same year - though didn't really realize I could swap all the stuff to a jeep much earlier than 2000. I agree, $2000 on the deal is pretty good considering how much all the stuff costs to begin with.

If there's a parts swapper out there please buy this jeep! :spin1:

It does take alot of time and work to swap stuff, I have a 95 Neon as a daily for the past 8 years? Couple years ago it got to the point it needed a tranny and all the emissions stuff put back on, it had 300,000 miles on it easily, I was days away from crushing it and found a low mile 1998 Neon R/T, if you know anything about Neons, 98 R/T is the cream of the crop for 1st Gen Neons, it was t-boned hard drivers b-piller, it was a total loss, I paid 500 bucks for it and drove it home , I spent 1 week gutting my 95 to a shell and then took every part from the 98 and put it on the 95........ I mean everything.... I had alot of R/T parts on my 95 Neon already i put on over the years, I sold off a ton of stuff after the build.... I figured all said and done I spent a total of $100 bucks to have a decent Neon again and passes emissions..... Alot of work but well worth it.......

If you have the time, place and tools to do that with your XJ, I really would consider it! And you will know every part that goes on that Jeep

You almost had me there Rags. I went looking for XJs last night on CL.

I wish I had the time, the tools, and the space to do the swap, or to part it out.

If anyone wants it for parts - or whatever - I would really appreciate $1600 for it.

sorry to hijack, but Rags, empty your message box, or give me a call.

That's a smokin deal for someone. Like you said in your ad, It'd be a great one to cut the roof off of and cage. Wish you were closer. I'd LOVE to have it to put into my MJ. Will you deliver?

Looks like we have a buyer!

Yellaheep has your parts!
