so i needed a new ride for work because obviously my RC wasn't the ideal thing for a 40 mile commute every day. looked for about a week before finding this xj. also bought a dakota the same day. $1100 for the jeep and $650 for the 93 dakota which needs a p/s rack and new wheels. both are high mileage but well maintained.
the XJ will be my driver for a while, then be shared by the wife and i after the dakota is driveable. she has her focus too. after i'm done with the work on my 79 RC the XJ will get some mods. new rear axle, a lift, tires and wheels. the usual stuff but nothing hard core so my wife can still drive it.

here is one pic for now, the night i brought it home. i'll take some more sunday. 200k on the clock but it drives like new. the interior is in amazing shape. did i mention $1100?

replaced the pcm today. don't know if it was the cheap chinese voltage reg but my external reg fix had stopped working. no more problems now.

plan to take it out for some mild wheeling this sunday if the weather improves. maybe get some more pics up. these little XJs are a blast to drive, i see why guys love them so much.

well, got it up in the air before dinner at least. more than i've done in months. tomorrow will be nothing but getting the tranny out.

I've been thinking about finding one of these as a daily driver. Good luck with it.
