Well it took me just short of 2 years but I have bought another Jeep. This is no Wrangler with a big lift and 35" tires but it will act as a mall crawler for my wife as we move into parenthood. We figured this would be a little easier to move a kid around than her Accord she is driving now. I've been looking for a long time and I ended up finding this one on Craigslist down in MD. It needs some work but I got a good deal on it.
When's the new one due?
That XJ will be perfect for the fall trip to GWNF. ;D
And since we are talking about a Jeep, moved this to Jeep Talk.
XJs have been getting popular lately! Gotta love a cheap Jeep. 
Post up if you need any XJ help.

She is due late Sept.
We have discussed a trip down to GWNF we haven't camped in years.

Jerry I'm hoping to dig into it this weekend and I am sure I will some some questions.
Thanks!
very nice. just if you dont mind me asking how much did you spend on it?? i have a buddy thats in love with my yj but thinks its cheaper to buy an xj wich im sure it is. but i couldnt give him an accurate price range.
Looks good.
Welcome back and nice XJ find. It needs a lift and some tires. The gentle sway and tire rumble will put the kid right to sleep on rides. At least that would be my excuse... 
congratulations on both! ;D
Nice looking jeep!
Congrats to the baby and the Jeep!!! You should plan on the Spring trip to GW - if there is one! We took Sammi camping for the first time couple weeks ago to GW and she slept better there then she does at home!!!

We talked about it but were worried about keeping everyone awake at night! The walls of a tent are thin and a screaming kid would echo in that field.

No lift for this one. I got my fill out of my Wrangler this will be staying stock. Maybe if I can get the boss to come off some $ I can get another wheeler.

We ended up dropping $4k on it. I searched for a long time and most of the 2001s that were in this condition were $6k or more. The previous owner was a smoker so I have to deal with getting the inside cleaned. The AC is leaking so I tried this weekend to put in one of those cans that "stops leaks" and a fresh can of refrigerant. It blows cold now but I'm not sure how long that will last. Other than those things it seems to run great. It has 132K miles on it. I've seen some that had 175K on the odo and they still wanted $5k or more.

I'm going to start slowing way down when I drive by your house. You'll only be able to resist the temptation for so long.
The AC leak is probably the evaporator. A common problem with the late models. Costs around $100 in parts but will take a full day to do the job. Took me a weekend because I had trouble figuring a few things out.

DUDE! I have been jealous of your Jeep since the first time I saw it. What did you do with your Chevy Pickup?
I sold it to get the JK. I wasn't really impressed with it.

AAhhh Well it was a Chebby! 
I loved my Nissan Titan and now the F250 is even better. Last weekend I got the differential fluid changed. What a chore that is those covers are so heavy.
