heres a nice XJ for you http://worcester.craigslist.org/cto/1290737617.html

My wife is insisting that I get something with a softtop. She says she knows I miss my old CJs and that I wouldn't be happy a year down the road with another Cherokee. I told her that the price goes up for those, but she says that since I am sacrificing the XJ that I put all of my time into that I need to treat myself. I don't think I'm going to argue with what she is saying.

Hopefully Roger will post up a pick of his XJ all un-pimped out.  We replaced the 33's with R.J.'s old 225/75/15's after I pulled three nails/screws from them and pluged the holes.  We also pulled the front and rear bumpers and the sliders.  I couldn't help but chuckle as it rolled down the driveway.   ;)

Owning a CJ is for manly men, they allows you to do manly stuff like auto mechanics and welding and drinking beer. Manly men own CJs. Manly men do not drive hummers, they receive them.

All of them.  We pulled the other 3 off of the parts XJ and swapped them with some really shot wheels and tires that had come off of my car trailer.  With the leaky spare you had, it gave us a full set.  How did you manage to pick up that many nails/screws, were you driving through a construction site?

Roger had faxed in all his paper work before Thursday night, and before the goverment kicked in some more $$$, so I think he is going to be fine.  Last I talked to him he was headed back the MI on Friday.

Kirk is right. I was at work until 10:30pm Thursday night signing paperwork and faxing things back and forth with the dealership to finish the deal. All I had to do this morning was drop my XJ off and pick up the new car. Because time was tight and I already gave my VIN# and all the information to a Nissan dealer we bought a new Nissan Sentra with all the goodies. MSRP of 18,875 and we walked out the door after tax, title, tags and everything for 12,245 after my $4500 XJ trade in and their cash incentives. It's rated at 34mpg Hwy and 27mpg City. I spent all day today looking at TJs for sale in the area. I'm test driving one tomorrow that I really liked, but the owner was out of town so I couldn't get into it and test drive it today. Here's the one pic I took of my XJ before I left work Friday morning.
