Wow, that's amazing considering how much xjs usually go for around here.

a woman owned it... Thing looked NOTHING like it does now.. Had been sitting so long the roof was black with mold and stuff. Wish i had pics of it from back then, but it wasnt mine then.. My grandfather and father were buying, fixing up, and selling vehicles at the time and got that deal.. I was paid to clean them up. Bought the xj from them after i had cleaned it up.

But dont get me wrong, thing had ALOT of problems when i got it.. Hell the cat got so hot on the way back from atlanta the carpet started smoking.

Tire question. Especially for I Leak Oil since i know he enjoys his:

Are Baja Claw TTC Radial tires good tires? I have read a ton of reviews on how well they do off road, but very few about on road driving. I assume they are very loud? How do they handle on wet roads?

I want to buy a set, but dont want to spend 1k if they are ****ty on road.

A mixture. The closest spot is all mud. Some of it deep.

I do a lot of on road driving, but want something good offroad. I kinda want Duratracs, but idk about them in kind of deep mud.
