    Old body XJ?

    I'm looking at 99-01 XJ jeeps with the old body. Is there anything I should
    look for? Does anyone have anything great or terrible to say about these
    rigs? I'm looking at 4X4 4.0L models only...

    The only thing that comes to my mind is the difference in front axles. The
    99 has a high pinion D30 while the 00 and 01 have a low pinion. If it's
    going to be a daily driver, it's not an issue.

    Don't you mean "new" body? 97-01 has the rounder corners, full front
    door windows, plastic gas tank, and metal rear lift door, while the 96
    and older XJ's has the fiberglass rear lift door, metal gas tank,
    front door vent windows, and edges were more noticable. I don't know
    what year (89-90 time frame) they went from 4 head lights to 2.
    Majority of the above is a comparison of my 92XJ, and 97XJ. As with
    any motor vehicle, the manufacturer makes both subtle
    and major changes from model to model, and even during the production
    year of a model. Also check out the front rotors if you live in an
    area that salts roads during the winter, as there have been recalls
    for rotor seperation due to road salt.

    Hope this helps.
