Sir Sam

When the WJ came out Jeep has a commercial where they said the only thing they reused from the ZJ was the mirror screws.

Man what a day, take a look at the bidding history near the end and how they came in. Lots of people holding off until the end to snipe it. Winning bidder bid with 25 seconds remaining and then we went into the 2 minute timer again. I just talked to the guy and he is super excited about it. Going to someone who will appreciate it.

Holy cow this has been a roller coaster of a day, auction is almost over! Been a long time since I've sold anything on a auction like this, or bought, stressful and exciting at the same time.

Ya it’s hit reserve.

I don’t think BAT shows the reserve status. Just when the bidding ends it says sold or “bid to” which means RNM.

Can you take a picture of the door tag for me?

You have to answer a fair number of different questions about it, then they take that information and writeup an ad. Once you submit everything they will take a few days to get back to you if they accept it, I submitted it with a reserve and they first came back saying they would accept as a no reserve auction. I told them my reserve was put at what I knew I could sell it for locally and that I had to keep it. they accepted right away after that. I have heard they will also try and negotiate your reserve down as well, so there can be some back and forth. I can understand how they want vehicles to sell and they would prefer not to have reserves. Then I had to wait weeks, I think this was just a function of when I submitted. It seems like they like to do vehicles in groups, so if you are watching one cherokee you will see other cherokees as well, I expect from the historical sales that another XJ will be listed in a few days, but maybe not. This is also a good test case for me to get to know BAT, I'm planning on importing 70 series and 80 series land cruisers to resell on BAT. And well as my Land Rover Defender when I get that project done. For beatup junk I don't think BAT is the right place, but for exceptional vehicles that have a good following I think its a great place.

Seems like we need a database that this can get entered into that is public instead of the private one. I have a similar project going for the XJ freedom editions that I need to get organized somehow.

Took awhile to get posted, but now the auction is live! This is a first for me so it will be interesting to see how the auction progresses. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2000-jeep-cherokee-33/

I have this one, it’s also the largest storage you can carry in carry on baggage without restrictions. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07GBX24BV?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

A 2 door XJ is just a little less useable than a 4 door XJ. those long heavy doors sag, and those long doors are harder to open wide in parking lots.

I have this and lots of other Dewalt stuff. A friend was an engineer there and I got a hookup on pricing, so I bought Monday thousands of dollars of Dewalt tools. I have the 60V line of stuff as well. Still regret not buying more when I could.

I had an XJ that was stolen, involved in a police chase, shotup, t boned, and held as wrongful death evidence for 5 years before I bought it. named it “bullet” tow sheet said “reason for impound: homicide”

Those are the “icon” wheels found on XJs and KJs. These particular dark face with machined lip are from a KJ renegade or Freedom edition.

My MJ with brand new everything can still get warm when off-roading slowly. Best solution for that is a cooling fan override switch, just leave the cooling fan running all the time. additional cooling on the hood can be helpful.

Fine so be it. This is the only forum I have encountered that has issues with the HTTP, though admittedly I'm not sure how I managed to grab the non secure link in the first place. I prefer to keep images hosted on my website. After all I've had my site around since before CC existed.

EDIT: This forum software is phucking terrible. Pete get this fixed already. Not possible to copy and paste anything with an image tag. EDIT 2: JFC, if you post with http it strips the image tag out, post with https it leaves the image tag, Pete why is it configured this way? Have I said lately how happy I am with how these wheels turned out? Oh you sexy reflective beast: Surface rust:

Weird. Just you two who have made the comment.

Yes. I submitted everything last night. Now we see what happens on their end and how long it takes to get back to me.

Ultimately I decided on the JCR DIY because it had better rear clearance than the DBO. This was after I bolted my draw tight hitch on and saw how low it hung. I wish I had a better license plate provision, but after some Moab wheeling I’m glad I have the rear clearance I do. The long rear end of the MJ needs everything it can get to stay up high.

Have auto. No way in hell I’d go wheeling in the mountains without my parking brake.

Doesn’t look terrible rusty on the underside of the cab is solid it would make a great 97+ swap starter.

You can just buy new sheet metal Louvers in that same style. Don’t go hack up another rare old vehicle when you can buy new pressing louvers

If it has no title consider it parts only unless you go through the very complicated process of getting a replacement title. that being said if you can get it cheap and then get a title for it you should be able to make pretty good bank of of flipping it. personally I would see how cheap I could get it, not spend a dime more on it untill I had a title, then do some work on it and resell a running land cruiser for a nice profit.
