I PURCHASED THIS JEEP IN 2006 WITH INTENTIONS OF KEEPING IT FOREVER, BUT TIMES, NEEDS, AND SPECIFICALLY WANTS CHANGE. IT HAS BEEN KEPT IN HEATED STORAGE THROUGH WINTER MONTHS DURING MY OWNERSHIP. BEING A MECHANIC FOR OVER 25 YEARS WITH MY OWN SHOP, I'VE SEEN MUCH AND HAVE COME TO HATE SALT AND RUST. WITH THIS IN MIND, THE FIRST THING I DID WITH THIS JEEP DURING THE WINTER OF 2006 WAS TO DISASSEMBLE MUCH OF THE UNDERCARRIAGE, PRESSURE WASH IT, SAND AND PAINT THE AXLES, APPLY TRUCK BED COATING TO THE UNDERBODY, AND HAVE ALL THE REMOVED FASTENERS PROFESSIONALLY CAD PLATED. I INSTALLED A TWO INCH RUBICON LIFT, FOUR NEW SHOCKS, COMPLETE NEW REAR LEAF PACKS, FRONT BRAKES, CALIPERS, PFCM PADS, FRONT BRAKE HOSES, HEAVY DUTY STEERING STABILIZER, AND NEW SWAY BAR LINKS. THIS WORK WAS DONE AT 36,900 MILES. FROM THIS TIME UNTIL NOW, IT'S USE HAS BEEN VERY LIMITED, USUALLY FOR SUMMER VACATIONS AND BACK INTO STORAGE FOR THE WINTER. OTHER THINGS I HAVE DONE TO IT DURING OWNERSHIP: RADIATOR, ENGINE BLOCK, AND HEATER CORE FLUSHED, NEW RADIATOR HOSES AND THERMOSTAT. FACTORY SPEAKERS REPLACED WITH MEMPHIS AUDIO SPEAKERS CONCEALED IN FACTORY LOCATIONS. DOOR PANELS REMOVED AND CAVITIES PROFESSIONALLY RUSTPROOFED. IN ONE OF THE PICTURES YOU WILL SEE THE RUSTPROOF SEEPING OUT OF THE DRAIN HOLES. THIS IS NOT RUST! I JUST WANTED TO PROTECT THE DOORS AS I HAVE SEEN ALOT OF THEM RUST IN THIS AREA. IF YOU ARE IN THE MARKET FOR A USED XJ THIS SHOULD BE ONE OF THE FIRST PLACES TO LAY YOUR EYES ON. I BELIEVE IN THE SPRING OF 2008 THE AC WASN'T BLOWING COLD, THE CULPRIT TURNED OUT TO BE THE COMPRESSOR. I INSTALLED A NEW ONE, HAD IT CHARGED, AND IT HAS BEEN ICE COLD SINCE. ALSO IN 2008 I INSTALLED FOUR GOODYEAR FORTERA TRIPLETRED TIRES SIZE P24575R16. THESE ARE THE BEST OF THE BEST FOR WEAR, AND WET TRACTION. PROBABLY GOOD IN SNOW BUT THAT I CAN'T TELL YOU FOR SURE. I INSTALLED A LUND SUNVISOR AND TINTED THE FRONT WINDOWS WITH PRE-CUT TINT A SHADE LIGHTER THAN THE REAR GLASS WHICH IS FACTORY TINTED. LAST YEAR I REMOVED ALL THE SEATS AND HAD THE CARPETS PROFESSIONALLY EXTRACTED. NEW MATS WERE PURCHASED THAT HAVE YET TO BE STEPPED ON! ALSO LAST FALL A COMPLETE DETAIL WAS DONE, WASH, WAX, CLAY BAR, ENGINE DETAIL, ETC., ETC. YES, I AM VERY PICKY WITH MY VEHICLES. THE INTERIOR IS PRETTY MUCH WEAR, STAIN, SMELL FREE, NO USUAL SEAT RIPS, NO BURNS, ETC. RUNS LIKE A 42,000 MILE PAMPERED 4.0. THERE AREN'T MANY MOTORS THAT CAN COMPARE TO IT. MOBIL ONE OIL FROM THE DAY I PURCHASED IT. OUTSIDE THE PAINT IS DECENT BUT FAR FROM PERFECT. IF YOU WANT PERFECT PAINT, YOU NEED TO GO TO A NEW CAR DEALER AND BUY A NEW ONE. THE HOOD HAS ACID RAIN SPOTTING, AND THE HEADER PANEL WAS PAINTED BEFORE I BOUGHT IT. THE WORK IS VERY NICE BUT I CAN TELL IT WAS PAINTED. THERE ARE THREE SMALL TOUCH UPS ON THE DRIVERS DOOR THAT I WILL SHOW IN A PICTURE. ALSO ABOUT THREE SMALL DOOR DINGS THAT WILL NOT SHOW UP IN PICTURES AS HARD AS I TRY. OVERALL THE PAINT IS GOOD FOR A 9 YEAR OLD SUV. THE ORIGINAL SPARE AND MATCHING ANNIVERSARY WHEEL HAVE NEVER TOUCHED PAVEMENT. THE ONLY "BAD" I KNOW OF, THE DRIVERS FRONT WINDOW HAS A SKIP TO IT SOMETIMES DURING DOWN. NOT ALWAYS, BUT SOMETIMES. WAS LIKE THIS WHEN I BOUGHT IT AND I JUST DIDN'T GET AROUND TO FIXING IT, WHICH WOULD BE A NEW MOTOR/TRACK ASSEMBLY, SOLD ON EBAY FOR UNDER $100. DEALER PROBABLY AROUND $140. WANNA SEE IT, INSPECT IT, OR DRIVE IT, JUST LET ME KNOW THROUGH EBAY. IF YOU CHECK MY FEEDBACK, YOU WILL SEE I'M A PRETTY STRAIGHT SHOOTER. I DON'T THINK I HAVE LEFT ANYTHING OUT, ANY QUESTIONS WILL BE ANSWERED PROMPTLY. I WILL REQUIRE A $500.00 DEPOSIT THROUGH PAYPAL WITHIN 48 HOURS OF AUCTION CLOSE OR BUY IT NOW. FULL PAYMENT DUE WITHIN 7 DAYS AFTER AUCTION END AS CASH UPON PICK UP OR BANK WIRE TRANSFER. WILL ASSIST WITH SHIPPING ON MY END. WILL ALSO PROVIDE FREE AIRPORT PICK UP AT WILKES BARRE (AVP), ALLENTOWN (ABE), AND MAYBE PHILADELPHIA. NO, I DO NOT HAVE IT LISTED FOR SALE ANYWHERE ELSE SO THE AUCTION WILL RUN. WILL PROBABLY NOT RELIST IF IT DOESN'T SELL.
