Looking for help and info.
My son just purchased a 96 XJ, 6 cyl. 4x4. Maintained, unmodified, and well used.
Needs minor work to get road legal but runs well.
Since he does not have his license yet we have time to play and teach him to fix his own.
Any issues or tricks to be aware of with this model and year or things that we should look out to fix before they become major?
Our list (so far):
- new exhaust system.
- repair or replace front drivers seat, frame broken and flops around.
- repair minor surface rust, simple sand prime and paint.
- possible bushing or control arm issues. Inspect and replace.
- all new fluids and filters.
Will be searching the posts.
Thanks for your consideration and help
