Looking at maybe trying to sell my Jeep and getting a xj again.

Well considering selling my wrangler and getting a xj again. My Jeep has been burning oil. Can smell it burning at redlights. I’ve had a couple people look at it over the past few days and no one has a idea yet on why it’s doing it no wet spots no nothin. So you guys think it’s worth it to keep dumping money in to it. Or just say screw it and get a new one? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Well things must be pretty grim at this point on the mystery oil consumption. The XJ is a good jeep model that can meet the needs of your family assuming you find a good one as that generation of jeeps are getting older and likely have high mileage. I'd suggest test driving another JKU 2012 or newer with the stronger 3.6 for more reliable jeepin. Your current JKU doesn't have signs of oil leaking so you should do fine if you trade up.

 

Saw this in Delaware for sale lol

 

Come back to the dark side.

 

Exactly what I was thinking but one with no rust not a lot of miles n that’s all done so all I gotta do it maintain it

 

Not a lot of miles = new stroker motor.

 

Obviously it would be better then the stock 4.0 since I have found one stroked to a 4.7 I think the ad said it was a yj

 

I'm a huge fan of XJs. Was my first that broke me in to Jeep. But as aggrex stated. Finding one with low mileage is virtually impossible to find. Not to mention. Cancer free. $7500 for a 17 year old XJ IMO. Is kinda steep. You can drop a remaned Jasper motor in your JK for bout $5000 and less if ya drop it in yourself. I know, still kinda steep. But you get a warrantied motor. That you know will last. Question is....Is your JK worth it? Other mechanical issues..rust??

BTW.....you fix that rusty bumper yet dude.

 

Jkbob bumpers fixed lol there’s no horrible amount of rust anywhere on the Jeep it has rust obviously it’s a ny vehicle lol but got a call lastnight from a very good friend/Mechanic of mine he’s back in the states for a few months so I’m ganna drop it off to him next week and let him go at it for the weekend and hopfully he can find the issue. I love my jk just not the motor.
