It's not super rare but I'm definitely glad I found one in good shape. 98--2 door--5spd-- It's more rare than you think. Awesome find especially in that color. It's a keeper.

It's made out of aluminum and heavy duty fabric, it's much more sturdy in the wind than my flimsy ground tent was.

Thanks!! here's a few more pics from this summer's adventures... My crane setup for easy on/off.. unfortunately my 7' door is too short to pull it into the garage Tried a bit of mother's back-to-black on the faded blue trim, stuff seems to work great

Thanks and I agree, I love my 31s.. They rub at full lock on the stock LCAs, time for some nice adjustable ones...

Now the XJ rolls smooth as butter. Oil change and it should be good for winter. Still gotta look up what fluid goes in the 5-speed and the T-case.
