You mean anything like this?
Although not an XJ, this was the scariest death trap I have ever bought and driven home, a 1979 Mustang parts car. I'm just glad it didn't catch on fire or come apart on the highway home.

brining it out on the night of the first full moon and dance around it chanting in primevil instinctual rythm. cleanse the cherokee from the inside. connect with it....

Yea we run close to the border all the time and we have a few border patrol check stations around here so better safe than sorry. Never been to sasabe may have to look into it.

Dont listen to everyone talking about radios and speakers. THE FIRST THING YOU DO IS CHANGE ALL YOUR FLUIDS. Change all of the wiring inside of the car before it stops working. Check under your XJ for rust/ things falling apart. check your ball joints, u joint, wheel bearings, brakes, leaf springs, front and rear axles, check for rust around your wheels, make sure your air conditioning works, THEN check your gasket seals on your oil pan AND engine (they were leaking all over my engine when i first got my car), change your spark plugs and check all your fuses. im pretty sure i got all the basic stuff, but remember you dont have to replace everything ive listed just make sure it runs good and everything ive listed works before you go expensive on the looks.
