I just acquired a early XJ
I havent got it in my hands yet but I am foaming at the mouth to get it home and start playing
This is my first jeep of any type but I have had many toyota 4X4 PUs
hope to learn a lot about these rigs

I get about 107 to 110 HP out of a 22r this 4 banger has 130 so back to a lift and 31s
I think I am gonna like it ...even if it is a MOPAR (at least the injection )
I could get kicked out of my (GM\Toyota)family for such a transgression

I wont be giving up my yo anytime soon

I built it from scratch ...the engine was in the bed no interior except dash
rusty bed (made the new one from wood )
moved the spare to the front (somthing I would not suggest on a jeep(cooling problems)

that was almost 10 yrs ago and I have forgotten the frustration so I need more ...so jeep time

No. That's sorta rare. Especially with no rust. How much did you pick it up for if you don't mind me asking

Hmm.... $150 no title? May be a good deal if it runs and is rust free

Dang! Nice. You should investigate searching for a lost title. You may have less than 50 bucks in getting a title. then flip it for 2 grand. woodys are rare.
