I love these things. Seriously if I could find one with less than 50k, I'd give up my GC.

I love them too, just game rust and uni-frame rot.... I have been looking online for another XJ with lower mileage that has no rust on the uni-rails, if I can get one for a decent price I will switch everything over.
 
Nice looking XJ:thumb:

Thank you!

I haven't really done much of anything but drive recently. I have been focusing on put some money aside for a JKU by the end of the year :) debating about whether to keep the XJ and use it as a trail only rig. Haven't decided yet....All of the low mileage/rust free XJ's I have found are selling for $8K or above which at that point I would rather just buy the JKU

I'd keep it for just a trail rig then:thumb:
