I got my first Jeep last night. I’ve been looking about a month now and finally found one that checked all the boxes on my list.

I got a 96 XJ sport with 91k on it, 4.0, Auto, 4 door, 4wd with the 8.25 rear. The paint is pretty bad, but the interior is in great shape. Anyway, I’ll try and get pictures up when I can. I used to have a photobucket account, but they went crazy over there.

 

Congratulations on your purchase! Looking forward to seeing the pictures.

 

See if these work.

 

They work!!!

Have you checked every fluid level and condition yet?

 

Most of them. I need to add a little tranny fluid, the coolant needs to be flushed, oil looks good. I have not checked the diffs nor the transfer case as of yet. I haven’t been driving it around much, just around the yard. I’m going to get my tag transferred to it today and then check everything out before I start driving it around. My daughters are ready to take a ride in it though.

 

Excellent plan.

 

Nice XJ! Welcome to the club.

 

Nice find. I had an '01 Sport, you'll never find a more dependable Jeep imo. I just picked up my 2nd ZJ. Dad used to have a '94 XJ - That 4.0 is bulletproof, nice choice. Welcome to the club!

 

Thanks guys. I probably could have found one with better paint for a little cheaper than I paid for this one, but this one is mechanically sound, the interiors not completely beat up, low miles and it was local. I don’t have a lot of free time so driving all over looking at Jeeps was a little tough. I feel lucky to have found this one.
