Default Second XJ Purchase

So I recently purchase a new XJ.

1999 Jeep Cherokee.
Purple
60k

Was a theft-recovery vehicle bought from a salvage yard. It was stolen in California, picked up by it's insurance company in Indiana after recovery. Sold to a salvage yard in North Dakota.

I like it because it's a rare gem. A 1999 with 61,000, purple, and like new interior and paint job.

Anything I need to know that would be nice to know about the year 1999? What are it's strengths and weaknesses of the new body style/differences from my 1996?

That looks REALLY nice. I am seriously thinking about a 98 or 99 myself for a new project.

Good find dude!!!

Holy crap what a steal. How much did you pay for it? That's one nice and clean XJ with super low miles.

Good thing it's a 99 cuz you got the high pinion 30.

If its a late year build watch the head for cracking like the 2000-01 years.Its prone to cracking more than normal.
