well I might sell the XJ, yesterday night I went for an hour drive to buy some MTs, and coming back home it was real slow and smoking.. and well I thought it might be me dragging the brakes, but this morning I went to move it and it was real slow, didnt want to get to gear, so I took it to the tranny warranty, (for those who dont know I had the tranny rebuild 5 months back $1500) and luckily is covered, if it is tranny, and well I cant have that insecurity of loosing the tranny, and I dont have the money to pay again for a new one, so I might fix it and sell it and get something else, maybe an other XJ, maybe a toyota pick up 4x4 manual 4 cylinder, (I saw one that I liked) lets see what happens, but dont I wont be leaving the site.

something like this i might buy, if I dont get an other xj http://www.clasificadosonline.com/UDTransDetail.asp?AutoNumAnuncio=881888

Well you know it enough to know the general vehicle. As you know when buying something else (unless new) you have no idea really what that vehicle is like.

ahh is not reading this, its just that I know my tranny is not strong as its suppossed to be.. I dont trust much the mechs that rebuild it, and that "fix it" now, I think they just top the oil and good buy.. so I would get a new one,, one that I know it does not have any tranny trouble

Well I know you were thinking of a Toyota Pickup earlier, and I owned an 86' Toyota Pickup with 233,000 miles when I sold it. Other than normal wear and tear, it never broke down. They are good little pickups that run FOREVER . I would suggest getting an extended cab cause the regular cab is quite small. And when someone has to ride in the middle they give you a dirty look when you shift into 2nd, 4th, and reverse. I also would get a mid 90's one wit ha 22RE engine (fuel injected). That is of course if you could put up with the IFS in the front ;)

I only say all this because I have had experience with one and I liked it.
