Hey tassiecj6,
Sounds like you definately have the Jeep bug!
I might be showing my ignorance of the differences of earlier generation Jeeps here but there was a blue Jeep for sale down my way last year for around $6K? Not exactly sure of the year model but very similar to your Jeep, definately AMC era. It is a mid colour blue with white hardtop from memory, the guy never sold it, saw it in his driveway the other day.(rowella road)
As for the XJ wrecking prices, don't want to shoot myself in the foot, might have just turned up on a good day.
Put my name on a later large volume inlet manifold the other day off a Wrangler for my next upgrade.
Seems GoJeep has laid all the mods out so clearly on his site I thought why not do that too!
cheers Dave
