I'd like to introduce you to Frankenstein, a Blue 2000 Jeep XJ I purchased in June of 2013 with 110k miles on in from a local dealership and now has 136K. Since purchase in 2013, it has been materially rebuilt (including installing a rebuilt engine three years ago) and is in excellent mechanical shape. I'm moving towards my next project. Below are repairs and upgrades I have performed. Please let me know when you'd like to arrange inspection or a test drive. I'm located in Westchester, NY.
