2000 Cherokee XJ, long arm, locked, overland/bugout build ($11k)

[cryptlander]

Hi everyone. I'm selling my XJ I bought here 4 years ago. The previous owner spent over 25k and 5-6 years building out this jeep to be a great bugout/overlanding/offroading machine. I've added some minor touches and improvements since then, but the XJ still has all the same features he added during his build. You can read his entire build thread here- https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f46/2000-xj-overland-build-229946/

Asking for $11,000.

This is a steal. I have a 2000 and it is a great vehicle for off road. Someone should buy this.

No affiliation, just a happy XJ owner.
