Well folks, I said I was going back to an XJ so that's what I did. Just a recap on my previous Jeeps...
My first XJ the day I sold it. 95' Sport 5 speed...

My second.... 87' Waggy XJ w/ factory 44 and HP non disco 30. Wish I kept this one...

And of course, my TJ I just recently sold....

Well after my TJ, I started looking for my next XJ. I knew I wanted a 97'+, so that's what I went after. While searching craigslist, I came across a 99' with 130k miles. Girl that owned it said it needed a radiator. All it really needed was a cap. Talked her down to $1600 and brought it home. Had some awesome seat covers and looked and smelled like an ash tray inside...

Got some wheeling pics. The dude in the sunglasses is a bud of mine. Letting your friends wheel your rig actually lets you learn more about your rig. You get to watch how it works!

Hardest obstacle all day. It was a red. Went all the way through but got denied by the gay factory low hanging crossmember. I am going to build a flat skid to fix that.

Got some hood vents from Hyline Offroad back at the PA Jeep Show. Nice product, but I will have to go back over my shat paint. I suck at prep.

ALSO, drove it on the road today, all good except for motor mount and the steering wheel isn't straight anymore....
