Default I just bought a $200 2 door xj

It has 300k miles but it was rebuilt 50k miles ago 4.0 HO 5speed it needs a clutch and fuel pump, it is a 92, has normal rust. I bought it for the engine for my 96 and for parts but the more I think about it I might transfer the lift and stuff off my 96 onto it and wheel it and make my 96 stock again? idk but I have two jeeps now I mean I only paid $200 so I could always part it out and get most of my money back, I will get some pics up later this week

It's all good, bro. You know we were just clowning you in good fun. A 50K motor itself is worth the $200 bones you paid. Awesome find!!!
