Car Forum / Jeep / March 2008Buying a 2000 xj limited
All, I am considering buying a 2000 xj limited with a 3 inch Rough Country lift. Anything I should pay particular attention to? Thank you, CTM > All, > I am considering buying a 2000 xj limited with a 3 inch Rough Country [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > CTM Check out the door opening lines and hood lines for being even or not and under for dings and rust. The uniframe body can get tweaked by hard off roading. One thing to remember, folks tend to drive a vehicle to the limits of it's modifications, so this can mean a huge amount of hidden wear. Everything on it could be worn out. I would recommend you take it to a good mechanic for an inspection before you buy. Could be a well spent $75.00.

On top of the skid plate under the tranny. Inside the doors in our case... Up inside the front fenders. You can look on from the open door. Inside the edges of the gas tank skid plate. Inside the frame rails is a bugger to get out too.

At the time most of them were impassable due to flooding, and they were looking for some guy in a Jeep that tried a low water crossing he shouldn't have made. Found him a couple of days later 2 miles downstream from his Jeep. Since the middle of Jan. we've had a snowstorm(12"), a tornado(no power for a week), another snow storm(12" again), yet another snow storm(18", and no power for 24 hours), and 6" of rain in a 36 hour period(thus the impassable roads). I, for one, am ready for Spring to come here in Arkansas. -- Old Crow '82 FLTC(P) '95 Wrangler YJ BS#132, TOMKAT, SENS, SLOB#13 SignaturePosted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com Bummer!

You and I may tend to forget this, but a dirt road is not the best thing either. Given the choice, I would rather have a vehicle driven by a soccer mom to the mall, high school, etc. or by some working Joe to commute with. Sure the brakes will be worn out but the frame probably won't be tweaked. Just my opinion.

If you want an off road vehicle then buy a city vehicle and fix it up. Buying an already off roaded vehicle, well like I said that is a way to get a tweaked frame. You're kidding yourself if you think a lift kit and big tires don't make stuff wear out faster. Earle >All, >I am considering buying a 2000 xj limited with a 3 inch Rough Country [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >CTM Personally I'd be *very* careful buying any SUV with a lift on it. But, perhaps I worry a little too much. Look for signs of abuse, misuse, or excessive wear for example. |
