Thank you, it is the Country Briarwood edition... use to be a woody... It does have some down sides, the transfer case is the NP242 with the part time 4wd selection. There is quite a bit of wiring issues. I had a blinker fuse that kept blowing, turns out the tail light wire harnesses are all hacked up. My front driving lights on the corners don't work, rear window wiper and washer don't work, the transmission probably needs to be rebuilt, same with the transfer case, and needs lockers. But it runs and drives well, gets me from A to B and still keeps up with the guys I wheel with that have lifts and 35's and lockers. Overall I am really happy with it and the good out way the bad. I would like to bring it home as it would be my project and I could learn the rebuild/ replacement of transfer cases and transmissions, and dig into the wire part and clean it all up and maybe put the wood vinyl back on. All in all she's been good to me.

I Looked at your pictures they hacked up the tail light harness to put in us-spec tail lights i... In your jeep when you come back to the states just unplug the current export harness and plug in a us spec harness that might solve the fuse problem.. Your jeep is really clean body wise and rare in the us being a export model if it looks that good in the pictures it is definitely worth bringing back

It looks almost as good as it does in the pictures. The exception is all the redneck pin striping as the trails here are very narrow, vegetation takes over here, grows in real fast. Also I sanded down my passenger flares when I got it stuck in the mud. They have a slight grayish color to them now. And lastly is the minor rust coming though on the bumpers and anything else that is metal with chrome... the front and rear pumpkin covers. I unfortunately keep finding more issues with it. First it was things not working, then wiring(I corrected the blinker issue sorta), the transfer case does not shift past 4 HI, the transmission now will no longer hold the Jeep when parked on a really steep incline(when flexing). I am now weighing my options, plus I was told that it may or may not last the long boat ride from here to the states as it will be sitting on the ocean for a month or so... kinda bummed I really like this Jeep and hate to get rid of it. All the issues would be a good way to learn how to rebuild/ replace stuff that I have never done. If I can not bring it back I will have to find a '99 at some point.

Crawl under it clean it up sand the rust and undercoat it for the trip it will take about a day to do... It is worth bringing back its a export jeep I have seen them sell close to 10k just because it is a export xj... No idea why but if you do not keep it please reply to my e mail thanks
