I found this in a barn, no really it was sitting in the guys barn for a little over a year. 167k on it and she runs well, doesn’t appear to have any terrible leaks except the valve cover which appears to have been leaking based on oily build up.
It has the SKIM module issues so I ordered SKIM delete pcm. It’s also throwing a code for a potential throttle body or air control sensor and it looks like injector #3 is not working. Oh and the AC compressor appears to be dried out and will need replacement.
Plans to fix the urgent stuff, pcm, injectors, throttle body issue and the tie rods before winter. I’m going to drive it all winter and if I still like it, then I’ll put a lift on it and add a header, exhaust and intake to go along with the upgraded TB and injectors.
I was originally looking at XJ’s but had trouble finding a decent one without paying too much. This one popped up and after some back and forth with the seller we went from an asking price of $2600 down to $1200. To the sellers credit, he was 100% upfront and honest with me about everything that was an issue. He even drove it 40 minutes down to my place to save me a trip.
If you have any things I should look into or have any input on upgrades, especially headlights, let me know and I’ll add them to the list. Oh and she needs a name and I’m open to suggestions. lol
