I just wanted to say thanks for the votes. Everyone entered had really nice XJ's and was deserving to be entered for XJ of the Month.
Gravedigger it was nice to meet you and be able to wheel with you in Moab for the 25th Anniversary of the XJ. Here are a few more pictures of the Jeep: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
