Okay, finally going to run down and get this rig if it turns out for me....any last things to watch out for?

[dunl]

Well, went down to Calgary today with the full intentions of driving this unit back here. Got there, and he had the jeep ready, inspection papers if I wanted to see them, etc. I told him far as I was concerned, I just wanted to jack the rear end, turn the wheel(s) and check the gear ratio - if it worked for me, I was slamming in a battery and driving away - especially seeing as it was the elusive 2.5l 4 cylinder automatic with the tow package, and more than likely the 4.56 gears and possible a dana 44, all for a grand total of $200...... :mrgreen:

 

That's when I walked around the rear end to check and make sure it had the hitch and saw this:

:shock: :shock: :shock:

 

 

There was a little bit of poetic inspiration that went through my head at that moment..... :cry: :cry: :cry:

 

The guy got "4 cylinder" and "4 litre" mixed up.

Well, thats not all bad.

 

Did it at least have the 44?

 

Even if it were a D35, and it ran well and everything .... $200 is still a killer bargain.

No 44, and $200 is a killer bargain, but I don't need it. I need axles with better gears than 3.07 for the manche.

Isnt this truck for your daughter,is she planning to use it a wheeler?

 

that XJ should have had 3.55 or 3.73 gears which should be fine with 32" or 33" tires if she doesnt want a dedicated trail rig.
