I am looking for something that may not exist. If it does, i'm sure it's a government specific model. I am looking for an XJ with the following characteristics:

1997 - 2001
4 door
4x4
5 speed manual
manual windows
manual locks

-stretch goal-

manual steering gear box

Does such a beast exist? I would assume, again, that it's a gov edition vehicle or a BASE or SE model.

 

It sounds like you could definitely get that if you're willing to compromise for a 2 door

 

Better luck finding a Pink Pegasus named Susan.

 

Around me most 2 doors are 2wd 4 cylinders.

 

Click your heels together three times Dorothy

 

5 1997+ 4 doors with the manual available on Denver Craigslist, but with manual windows and locks, probably made of unobtainium. My brother got one equipped that way a long time ago from a GSA auction, but one would think any GSA ones are long out of government hands by now.

WOW! That one is right on the money! A LOT of money! $7000 to be exact. It also looks like it might be built instead of bought. Which is cool.

Do you think it would be easier to buy a Manual Sport and swap in door panels, window regulators, steering wheel etc, or buy an SE/Base and swap in the manual tranny and accouterments?

 

XJs are plentiful in Colorado. You can find them from $500 up to over $10K for a fully kitted crawler, and everywhere in-between.

 

a friend of mine has a 97 4 dr 4.0 4wd 5spd for sale. manual windows and locks. pm me if interested.

 

The Bigfoot in my local state park drives one.

 

Ha ha ha! That's awesome!

 

 

Now THAT'S some funny sh*t right there !!

 

Found one y'all! Locally too! I'm hopefully going to go look at it this afternoon. What do you think? High miles I know. 4.0's are cheap.
