Hey all
I use to have a 2000 xj sport that I just loved. Sadly, one rainy morning driving cross country, somewhere outside Memphis TN, I started on the breaks. They locked up and I slid right into the back of a uhaul truck. That was a couple years ago.
Now I'm on the search for an XJ again!
So I have 5000 set aside for this venture. that is for vehicle, repairs, registration, and inspection hopefully.
Here's one I think I'm going to take a look at:
1988 jeep Cherokee xj
4.0 inline 6 cyl
5 speed manual transmission
4x4
166xxx miles
Clean title
Selling my renix xj Cherokee. Currently has an exhaust leak that I'll fix if not sold in the next few days.
New water pump, harmonic balancer, tstat and converted from closed to open radiator. Just put new o rings in the injectors and cleaned the throttle body then installed new gaskets. Have a set of 703 injectors and a set of sway bar end links not yet installed. Clutch is healthy and tires have enough tread to get you out of a sticky situation.
Tags are up since August of this year. Was my 4x4 project but I don't have the time. Great daily driver or start for a trail rig. Will consider trades.
I really want a manual and they are harder to find in the 4 door, 4L models, I also really like the chrome grill and around the windshield look so it has that going for it. The pic doesn't look great but I asked about the hood and he says it closes and latches just fine and miles is only 166K. He has also already done some work on it, changed out the closed radiator. I'm not very familiar with the renix model engines so what are peoples opinions on that? and this model in general? I'm thinking if I can get him down to 1000 for it I'll still have 3000-3500 for repairs, getting it to pass smog and be road worthy.
