I'm very close to buying an 01 Jeep XJ with your most basic 4" short arm lift kit and 31" BFG T/A KO's. The body is solid and has a nice single DIN radio with iPod/AUX hook ups, CB radio with PA, 2 cheap ass Walmart quality sub woofers.

It's a Jeep so it's a little rougher than most vehicles it's age but it's a good starting point for a fun vehicle. Price is decent too $2700.

Gotta love how Chrysler products absolutely do not hold their value.

That's not bad at all, definitely a good starting point. If you buy it, get those tires switched out so you can actually take it off road lol

Tires will be staying for awhile, there are a few little things I want to do to make it handle better like replace the stock upper control arms and get new bolts and bushings on various steering and suspension parts. The bolt on the track bar has been rounded off so that's a good sign.

I've got pics on my phone but I've exceeded tapatalks 31 image policy on uploading so I'd have to upload to photo bucket. I can post one though in a little while.
