New, we traded in her Lexus too. It was at around 80k, and needing a couple things. By trading both we were able to get within $1k difference in price between new and our used vehicles so it saved us $3-4K in new sales tax so that helped.
With Baylee driving and my middle daughter getting license & car within year the wife and I do not need 3 vehicles for us. I’m done running to Indiana & back so having a truck was no longer necessary & with constant issues glad it was gone. I put 30k on it in last year and few months. Not including fuel and insurance it cost me .16 cents a mile to own. Haven’t figured out how that works out but doesn’t sound horrible. Momma is happy so you know how that works.
I drove truck home last night, unloaded it and took it to new dealer this morning. Had 15 miles left according to gas gauge when I got to dealer this morning.....

I was super excited when I saw that Shawn. They hide behind their masks with impunity, no pun intended, and with actual specifically directed consequences, hopefully the bulk will wet themselves and go home.
Assuming most are getting paid so we’ll see granted there are quite a few useful idiots mixed in but they aren’t the ones wearing the face covering if I had to guess.

Charcoal is a pretty color, the redwood interior really sets them off too.
Does that year have the hydraulic suspension on the limited?

Update, still not done. UPS misplaced the torque converter and then found it. Front seal was shipped direct from manufacturer, must be a problem with those going out if Ford had none in stock....  As of 4 pm today they finally had all the parts to reinstall the transmission again. So hopefully I get it back in functioning order tomorrow, it has an appointment with it's new owner soon after I get it back.....

Slight update, pulled third member out. Rotated lube locker so break out of gasket around one stud is upper right bolt. Doubt it should leak this way, time will tell. Part of the reason for this is that Currie axle had aluminum washers on each stud, thinking prior owner added them. When I went to torque the nylon nuts to spec on the third I realized these washers were aluminum because a couple actually split in half. So I needed to replace them with steel washers which I did and in process flipped gasket.
Also been fabricating rear tire carrier, will update with pics shortly. Plan is to swap rear axle in two weeks while kids are visiting grandma out of state.....

Listen, it’s awkward best I can tell you. On a lifted xj you’re trying to toss your leg / butt up & duck as you move sideways. I realize you’re probably pretty agile dealing with all of H’s stumbling but I’m trying to look out for ol Don here.....

I say let Charles use the splitter. We could start a wager if there are any takers?
I'm leaning against this working at the moment for the record. I owned a 40 ton splitter and have stalled it out more than once so even though it states 40 ton or less in Charles case I'm not sure that is relevant to this equation. Interesting non the less though, good luck Tex!

Had another thought. I drove Baylee’s xj last night, went to put some fuel in it for her. For the record 6 foot 3 Shawn hit his head getting in it. You might wanna check that out before buying one for yourself.
I remember them as being a bit cramped for we big guys
It's great for Baylee who is 5'4" and her knucklehead BF who is 6 foot 3 and I am told hits his head too which I am fine with currently. I did see a mod where you can cut the seat frame / slider and lower the seat several inches. If I had to daily drive one this would be the first mod.....

Regardless, as long as it’s not digging in the dirt it should move pretty easy. I do agree a couple snatch blocks would help. Another thought is hire a local wrecker (as cheap as buy more gear) to come in with his truck winch. Between that and rigged off a couple trees I’m sure you could make it work too if he can anchor his truck to a tree on the front end or several chevys (ironic I know!).
Honestly, the log splitter may work but it would not be my first choice for the record. Too each their own and we’ve been promised video so on the other hand it should be interesting either way.

It will probably work, hope you don’t tweak your log splitter. But just in case the whole thing goes south and the splitter ends up in the pond or something similiar. Can we request the wife unit video this for us?

Charles, is that a 40 footer? Any idea what you’ll have in total cost for that & are you costing the roof day with like that silver roofing rubberized covered paint? Just thinking for long term leak proof & to reflect some heat.

This coming from the guy that started a thread on an F150 that he, himself, owns. SMH
Ken, my work trucks were always Ford. Other than the 04 1 ton 6.oL which was great until 150k this is the only other problem child Ford I have owned. I don’t have patience on a vehicle I’m paying good money for so it’s going down the road. I bought it right and it served its purpose running back and forth across country. That’s done for the near future so it can find a new home soon.

Well, it's probably a better landmark then say turn by the big stump.. And no I wasn't calling Sq D a big non moving stump although I could see the correlation between the two.

Charles, the flip side of this coin & I'm not referring to fireworks laws either at the moment. Is that I raise my kids to logically look at all laws within a moral context. Basically, use your brain and think, question everything & make a sound descision. Just because it’s law doesn’t make it right.

Kind of what I am thinking of if going with stock axles and not the full on HPD60 and LS motor thing
Even with the bigger axles, I like this stance height. This or maybe 1" higher with sway bars and GOOD shockage
That’s probably a 6” lift....

Nothing wrong with an XJ. You appear to have some mechanical/welding abilities (  ) and I'd assume the kid can turn a wrench as well so any problems that pop up could be addressed pretty quick. What I'd do assuming I was getting another XJ (which I want to do...)
1. weld some reinforcement plates along the unibody
2. liberally spray wd40 and/or breakfree on pretty much every nut/bolt within eye sight., let it sit for a bit then do it again.
3. Rip the carpeting out and check the floor pans for holes or weld in new floor pans.
4. Prepare to replace the plugs/wires, actual oil change and maybe other fluid swap.
Bobby is correct, check frame rails on outside front end. Near track bar and steering box for cracks. We looked at 30 xj’s or so b4 we purchased Baylee’s. I’m not against buying one with a cracked frame either, easy fix with weld on pre cut steel overlays.
OK, good advice
This is the stuff I'm lookin for!
Question: If staying with like a 265/70 or a 285-70 tire size, will the stock diffs live if just used to drive and things like driving along moderate trails (Like on my farm?)
These grocery getters are beasts in stock form with good tires.....
