We really can't tell you one way or another based on those pictures alone. You better crawl under that thing and poke around for rust. Check it out real good.

My first instinct just based on those pictures is that it was ridden hard and put away wet... at the very least it wasn't babied. It looks like there is rust along the roof so based on the snow/salt in the pictures I'm guessing it may have some bad rust below as Limited mentioned. Hard to see but it looks like the rockers might be rusted through. Also take a good look at the front end damage. It doesn't take much to bend the unibody so even if you plan on going with an aftermarket bumper it could be a PITA to mount if the unibody rails are tweaked. All depends what you're truck is worth, how much you want to put into the XJ and what you want to end up with.

I understand that so what do you think about the rust on the roof it looks like it's got 2 rot spots how hard is that to repair? I've never seen these get rust on the roof like that
