Well, it appears that it is now done: my XJ/Cherokee has been sold. I am going to miss that Jeep. Legions upon legions of XJ owners will attest to the fact that they're are awesome fucking vehicles. Yes, Wranglers have come to be the visual association when people hear the word "Jeep" and I don't discount that. They are truly awesome in their own right. But when you say "Go anywhere. Do anything." that was the XJ. Nowhere it couldn't go and there was nothing it couldn't do. Better power, more comfortable ride, better gas mileage, more room in the interior… and it could follow a CJ/YJ/TJ/JK anywhere.
Eventually, I'll get around to posting step-by-step pictures of some of the upgrades and repairs I did to it. I kept it completely stock. I've decided that I'll probably get another one somewhere down the line sooner or later and this time I'll get a 4x4 and upgrade it in a manner that could take more aggressive trails.
But for now, I'm just a man with one Jeep. And while you can never have too many Jeeps, one is enough for the time being for a myriad of reasons. That doesn't, however, mean that I'm not keeping my eyes open in case a great deal comes along on a Willys Truck or a 5-quarter or a Scrambler.
I'll keep you posted…
