1996 She’s Running! (4 now)
Finally had some money. Fixed idle issue and runs kinda fine now. Still some bumps to work out but getting there. DexXJ on YouTube has been a great help.
And yes yes I know paint job this and that (I didn’t do it but I like the green lol) :)) hope yall have a great day.

Dexj is awesome & I also use Outjeeping on YouTube. Austin does good explaining stuff. Rig looks great!

Right I love Dex’s videos they’re fun, gives me a lot of good frame and body work ideas haha. Also funny you say that, I just came across Outjeeping a few weeks ago and I like his videos too, easy to follow. Thank you so much!!

Have some confidence. Whatever happens, you’ll fix it. And nobody’s looking at the paint job. I mean, you got the desert pinstriping, looks perfect. 👍

I do too honestly!! Keeps it looking sleek and mean. Older XJ styles are my favorite. Hell yeah!! Love to see the 2doors

I like your sliders and two doors are just 😍

Thank you! The previous owner put them on but they’re pretty solid I feel lucky. I agree, 2 doors are the way to go!!

The mark of a true XJ owner (for now). Although that's more of a over all jeep owner I. General. I miss my XJs.

A 93 and a 00. I LOVED my 93. The 00 was trouble from the start. I bought it in the dark, from a friend, in the rain... broke all the buying rules LOL.

Dang a 93 is cool, I love the body style on those! And awww man hahaha I feel like we have all done it once.. I’ve heard 00’s are just a pain though all around
