jeep xj 94
jeep xj, 94
Good Points
comfortable front seats, lots of power. reasonable clearances, good size for week end car.
Bad Points
not much room in the rest of the car eg boot and back seat. fiddly to work on mechanicly. gets hot under engine bay.
What mods have you done?
spotties and cargo barrier and extended ciff breathers suspension is as i bought it
What mods are on the list to do?
if i want to keep it , locka, snorkle. front recovery point rear wheel carrier bonnet vents
Why did you buy this vehicle?
trade in at the car yard was looking for something with four doors and no rust
How often do you go offroad?
not often enough only getting back into it very recently
What will your next vehicle be?
maybe a land cruiser

nah its not over heating and i have changed the radiator to one with metal tanks and changed the water pump, it just traps a lot of heat under the bonnet.

Jeeps are interesting beasts but very capable 4x4's. I have drive some before and would consider purchasing one

well done on your XJ
there are some interesting things guys do to XJ's to overcome the 2 major issues with them
1. overheating
2. space
there's a write up by a club member in the current mjoc mag on how to install cheap bonnett vents
space can be sorted by lots of methods - bar carriers,roof racks, etc etc
look forward to a great little truck with amazing 4x4 cap
PM me if you want the link to the write up
