Hello!, bought this XJ a little over a month ago its a Black 99 Sport, 4.0L, AW4, NP242, D30, C8.25 with 205k on the clock

I was able to talk the seller down a bit cuz it was running pretty poor when I test drove it. Turned out to be a combination of a cracked exhaust manifold and a bad o2 sensor. Now it purrs like a kitten.

List of things ive done so far
exhaust manifold and front o2 sensor
oil pressure sensor
adjust T case linkage
195F hi flow thermostat
thermostat housing and coolant temp sensor
water pump and hard pipe off the water pump
wiring to 3rd brake light was broke from bending when the hatch opens
axle side upper control arm bushings
rear main seal and oil pan gasket
freeze plugs





And due to some surface rust I ended up spraying the roof

And now Im in the middle of installing a RC 4.5 X-series short arm lift kit


This is my second Jeep, I had a 2002 TJ about 10 years ago and man does it feel good to be behind the wheel of a Jeep again. Cant wait to get this xj rollin on a set of 32's.

Nice looking XJ. Nothing like riding high either

Thank you sir, and yes a little lift goes a long way for some off road capability.

Tires showed up early!
