There's an honest survivor! Nice truck and congrats on the MJOTM nod.

That's A LOT of weight.

1976 Buick Opel (by Isuzu) ... looked exactly like the red one in the ad below.

Very handsome ride!

Love this thing!

Love everything about it, except that it's not in my driveway. Beautiful truck!

The new owner has established an account and joined our membership. I trust he'll preserve it. He's definitely a Jeep guy. Owned and built an MJ in his youth.

SOLD 88, 148k, Short box, A/C, auto, 4x4

That there's a fine specimen! Keep it rolling!

@dodger6768 Is that the correct VIN? I tried it and it didn't produce a vehicle. The last 8 brings up a 21 Gladiator.

I'll pile on ... if it "needs" anything but a driver, it's not a $17K XJ. It's super clean though, so there's that.

Best news so far. What's the story?

Just. Wow.

Lots of questions and appreciative conversations at the gas station when I'm in the MJ. Never get a wave when I'm in the XJ or MJ (except from an occasional XJ driver I might see). I daily my XJ and have accumulated (1) duck while at the grocery store one Sunday morning. I see more women driving JK/JL's and young guys in Gladiators with 35's. Get no love from either. Ask me if I care. Most Grand Cherokee and late model Cherokee owners are oblivious.

Welcome!

Snickers Holy Grail or Life of Brian?

(1) 95 XJ 2door Chief ... absolutely loved it (watched my ex-wife drive it away). I'll miss that Jeep. (6) 97-01 XJ's ... Only had headwork done on one of my '01's, but they're (00 & 01) notorious for problems with the heads. Had some sketchy electrical problems with window controls, door locks, but nothing that couldn't be resolved. I added overhead consoles to 3 of them, so that could have been to catalyst for my electrical weirdness. Replaced two heater cores (Ugg). Recently had the following sequence on my current XJ ... Check gauges light comes on, then check engine, then gauges begin to fail and the odometer reads No Bus. Sometimes the speedo and tach fail, sometimes all the gauges. As it turns out, if you use percussive maintenance (whack it one), everything comes back and works fine.

Epic write up and the line above absolutely killed me! That truck is tried and true, as is its owner!

It's a small world. Respect the MJ!

The original Pumpkin Spice or Captain Morgan?

Very cool rig! I should add ... thank you for your service and be safe

@Gjeep @ghetdjc320 Thanks for the lead and info. Might be the only open at this point.

My driver's side mat has disintegrated over time. I got the set I have NOS on ebay 10-15 years ago. If you have a pair, or just the driver's mat and will part with it, please message me. The pic below is for reference (they're Commander mats) and are the type/style I'm trying to find, but for an MJ or XJ.
