Overall this Jeep is a ton of fun and is currently my daily driver. Driven 40-50 highway miles daily to and from work @ 70mph. I drive with the sway bars always disconnected and jeep drives straight and true with one finger on the wheel. No wobble, no pulling, and no drivability issues. Cruise control, AC and everything else works. Fresh alignment and clean bill of health. No leaks I can find and starts right up everytime. Would not hesitate to get in and drive cross country, is a good street driver but walks over anything I've put in its path. Flex pictures aren't near maxed out, still had about 4-5" of droop on frontend before limit strap and rear wasn't twisted that much. Have done the mall crawler jeep stack on a buddies 37s without issue and all wheels planted. Not a mud buggy and isn't a beach buggy, built to have fun with and do some mild crawling but never seem to have the time due to running a business. Body has some dings, scratches and dents as to be expected but nothing that bad and oem paint shines like new. Jeep has never been undercoated minus some paint on axles, welded areas and wheel wells and makes it easy to see that it is a rust free chassis but due to that undercarriage doesnt look show quality perfect. Id rather see issues rather than it be hiding under paint but I can have it undercoated at my expense upon sale if requested. Lots of custom work done to it and was built correctly with no shortcuts. I'm missing a few things but thats the majority of whats done to it. Its getting harder and harder to find a tastefully built and sound 2 door XJ these days so not in a rush or need to sell. Price is OBO and Jeep is for sale locally, reserve the right to close auction upon local sale.
