Before getting my 06 crd I had 3 XJ's and they are fantastic. Only my first love is diesels.

Well this past weekend I bought a 2000 XJ classic "for the wife" (Oh sure) so now I have the best of both

I've had a lot of experience with a whipped 89, well used 96 and now my 00 Classic with 145000 miles and no dents or dings at all. Even has the Evic thing on the ceiling :lol:

I forgot to mention the 99 XJ my son has.

Sweet! Pics please!

OK I setup a photobucket account and figured out how to post them here :roll:

Not bad for 145,000 miles huh :lol:

Notice the spare has never been mounted, jeep rubber floor mats (original ones too) and cargo area insert. I removed the front stone shield till I get it all cleaned up and waxed

Those are factory 16x7 rims too. Notice there's no corrosion on them

I think this was a commuter car for someone who lived in the southern part of Ohio where they get less snow and salt :wink:

That's our 17' Casita Spirit Deluxe in the background covered up for winter :lol:

With the funky transmission programming on the CRD I'm going to try it with the XJ. It has the factory towing package.

That is close to the perfect XJ. I would love to have a stocker just like that for driving around town and to use for those trips that don't require hard wheeling.

It would be very hard for me to do More than a 2" OME spring lift/ to that w/ 30-31's & leave the rest of it alone including wheels and bumpers. That is a classic Jeep.

So where are the pics of the sons XJ and when is he signing up? :wink:

Where we live XJ's are mostly owned by "chicks" or high school kids. There's a 40 year "chick" next door and a 50 something accross the street who both have 97 XJ's they bought new :shock:

So my "Chick" of 43 years desided she wanted another and twisted my arm and I oblidged her :wink:

I found it at a dealer called "Cheap cars 4U.com" :lol:

who had it listed on Autotrader.com I looked for a month for this one. She wanted white with leather but didn't want to go over $4K.

The Son's XJ is a plain looking dark green sport 4 door with the "mouse hole" mag rims off his (and my) former 96 XJ :lol:

He works with computers all day at work, Unix admin for OSU, so he does not spend much time surfing after hours :cry:
