Whatcha think?

[kjweston]

1998 XJ sport
98,*** miles
asking $4,995
Its at a dealer that sells mostly big "hauler/towing" trucks. (big F-350s and bigger)
The guy doesn't know much about it. He got it on a trade in. has a Fabtech lift kit, 33" maxxis buckshots, Eagle alloys, power locks and windows, sunroof, cd player, Snorkel. Thinking about selling my KJ and getting this beast rig.
Its about three hours away from me.

What do you guys thinks?

I would be very sketchy about that rig
and an XJ guy would be some one who would know better
I do know they are know to have D/W and drive line vibes at that hight
worse than TJ's
The snork looks home made
and the gearing may be a ****** as most of the XJ's came 3.55 ,I think
also note that they came with either a Turdy5 or a 27 spline 8.25 ,not as strong as the
KJ 8.25 ,about the same as the 35 so neither will be happy with 33's
if it has a factory 44 they scoop it up as those sell for about $1000 and TJ guys pay $500 or more for the HP30 so basically you could part it out for close to $4K

I agree with Mr. Thompson on this one. The snork is enough to make me think what else did he go cheap on!!!??????????

ah shit never mind. Listed on carfax that it has inconsistent mileage.
