    Default '89 xj

    OK. I'm going to be getting a '91 2 door and plan on selling my '89.
    5 speed manual, 4x4, 4.3 straight-6,
    198,000 miles on it.
    It’s gotten 25+ mpg highway.
    Gonna post for 3,500 on crakList... but willing to go as low as 2,000 for peep's on this site.

    In the last 15,000 miles, I've replaced the ECU, O2 sensor, CPS, TPS, and most recently the distributor.
    The Head was completely rebuilt with new springs, valves, and such.
    There’s all new gaskets, oil pump, and neon fuel injectors, and clutch master cylinder. I added an electric fan, new belts, and K&N air filter.
    I put new 30” tires (and spare) on it less than 10,000 miles ago.
    There’s a 5” lift. That’s new leaf springs (not add a leaf or shackle lift) in rear. Coil + 2” spacer in front.
    Iron Man adjustable lower control arms. RC adjustable upper control arms. New Skyjacker shocks…
    Adjustable track bar, and the RC drop brackets.

    It does have a leak above the steering wheel (top of the windshield).
    And… it runs mostly. I think it’s a timing issue. Not 100%. Since I swapped the distributor, it starts and runs solid until it gets to temp. Then it idles real low… like it’s gonna sputter out. I’m going with a simple fix, but just don’t have the mindset to tinker with it much more.

    Be strong when you are weak.
    Be brave when you are afraid.
    Be humble when you are victorious.
    But be a badass everyday!

    If not... it's got a space to sit...
    It may become a donor for the new XJ since the wheels and suspension are new.
    I'm not in a hurry.
