eaglescout526 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I still think 84 and 85 are the most under appreciated years of the XJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's crazy to me how much less desirable the XJ got (to me personally) interior and trim wise as the years went on. My 89 Wagoneer was miles nicer than my 95 XJ.

My 89 Wagoneer was miles nicer than my 95 XJ. I've noticed this, the older ones are far nicer inside. I just took my MJ with buckets on a 4 hour trip this weekend, and was really impressed with how comfortable it was. Jason Camesia's XJ video was excellent, like all of his Revelations videos.

I spent 4 hours on a very broken bench and wasn’t sick of it until well after the 3 hour mark. And the buckets are light years better than the benches.

Htchevyii Posted April 28 Author Share Posted April 28 Heather really likes the MJ bucket seats, good thing since we often drive for several long day in a row in it. She absolutely hates the split bench seat in my 05 Ram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 it is a shame that they went from offering so much interior variety that you could realistically get whatever you want... to: you can still get whatever you want, as long as what you want is grey or maybe tan.

Sounds like that old model T sales pitch.. Though I hate to admit this but damn the buckets are comfy. My XJ has turned me against my MJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watchamakalit Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I will say I also prefer the buckets over the bench. Although it does make it tough for the wife to slide over next to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
