I bought mine because, it was cheap, $500.
It was XJ based.
It was a 1992, which means rare but compatible with my mountain of 92-98 XJ parts.
Easy to work on compared to just about anything else.
Quick for a truck, will get quicker after I switch axles this summer.
Hauls a good sized load for its size. It has a Dana 44 and has nearly metric ton equivalent springs.
Handles very well for a truck.
Just plain fun to drive and I don't see myself coming the other way hardly ever like with a GM or Ford.
