FOR SALE 1998 XJ Long Arms on 35's

Nefarious · 07-05-2019, 04:51 PM

1998 Cherokee XJ

224k miles on the odo
PO said engine was rebuilt on 2011 - don't know miles
PO said transmission was rebuilt 2-3 years ago - don't know miles
BDS long arm lift kit (google says this was ~$2800 new)
35" BFG KM2 tires on nice chrome wheels
Rollbar
Sliders
Its a project that just needs finished

The Good:
It runs and drives down the road
Been in CO its whole life - no rust (other than some surface stuff from sitting)
Its 90% of the way there to a nice wheeling rig

The Bad:
It was never re-geared - still running factory 3.55's
Steering should be upgraded
Needs some minor cleanup...some bumps from offroading...a little rough around the edges - example: the front fender trim - PO didn't seem to know cut and fold was only for the rear

Typical leaks - nothing excessive

I'll be honest - I bought this because I was drunk and it was close. I have too many projects going at the moment and I want to finish the MJ. Since craigslist is charging $ now to list I figured I would see if anybody wants it here first. I am pretty near Denver.

For not much more than Cobound spent on tires you could re-live your jeepin glory days with this running driving XJ with long arms on 35's. Special price of $3000 for

PM me if you want more pics...

Man...this is tempting. Is it safe to assume that rust is minimal being a CO XJ?

Yeah no real rust just some surface stuff from sitting around. It's a solid Jeep just needs some final touches. Delivery might not be out of the question for the right price...

xj_man_646 · 09-12-2019, 08:39 AM

Hmmmm. Anything wrong with it that you wouldn't drive it from CO to MN?

No, I think it would make it - but keep in mind I have driven it a total of maybe 5 miles. I would give it a good once over for you though before you left though. It wouldn't be the most comfortable ride but you would have a cool story to tell

Nefarious · 10-08-2019, 06:49 PM

It's GONE

Cobound · 10-08-2019, 11:25 PM

Took long enough

Now what
