2-inch lift, new suspension, brakes, and rotors. The transmission has been rebuilt. It’s got new motor mounts, spark plugs, wires, alternator, water pump, timing chain, gears, and distributor. The rear end is rebuilt with new axle bearings and seals. It has a slip yoke eliminator on the transfer case, adjustable control arms and track bars, new hubs, and the intake gasket and exhaust manifold have been replaced. That’s what the seller told me.
I drove it home for 2 hours without any problems. No AC or parking brake right now. I’ll work on the parking brake, and the seller said the AC just needs charging. If it’s a costly fix, I can live without it.
I also got the hardtop installed when I picked it up, and they threw in 2 soft covers and the stock fenders, which I put in the van.

Looks clean! I’ve been looking for something like this but up here everything is rusted out from all the salt.
Yeah, I really lucked out with this one. Mostly lived in Georgia, and I drove down to SC to grab it. There’s barely any rust underneath, just a small spot on the passenger floor. Gonna clean it up soon!

Exactly! These engines last forever. I bought a 2000 XJ back in 2013 with 90k miles for $5k, and I’ve probably put $5k into it since then. It’s still my daily and rides great.

Same here, mine’s just a weekend fun car, barely gets 1,000 miles a year. I garage it, and man, it still looks amazing.
