Well, it's trail rated! That's something I guess.

Yeah I saw that too. If I buy it, my first "mod" will be taking that off.

That XJ looks pissed with those headlights. I like it.

Unless it comes with it, good luck finding that missing passenger side door panel (front panels are hard to find, even in the wanted section). The rear panels are easier to find. You can use the 97-01 power door panels as the backsides are marked for the crank (use the smaller of the two outlines). Only difference besides that is the power window bezel around the door handle for the switch.

I have found a couple fronts and rears but I was thinking of going the DIY route with the diamond plate. I really like what BrandonsCherokee did on this one. I'd still have to finish off the top somehow but I think it looks fantastic.

It looks like it's been beaten up quite a bit. I would go over all those mods as well to make sure no short cuts were taken.

Agreed, anything in particular I should look for? I'm going to have a close look at the electrical. Jeeps don't need any more "help" in that area. Also the lift to make sure it doesn't have 4.5" blocks of wood over the springs. I would love to see a Dana 44 or a Chrysler 8.25 in back but I don't think i'm going to get that lucky.

From the pics, it's a 8.25 rear. See how the pumpkin is flat across the bottom?

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

This thread is 3+ years old... I think the OP found what he was looking for by now. Good luck with your sorta sale though
