How are the XJ Jeeps as far as reliability/mpg?

[Stunter Bob]

Anything with 35s that will get 18mpg is fuel efficient to me!

[LS1Goat]

Reliable, yes. Fuel efficient, no.

Got about 24-27 highway on that one (4x4 4cyl 5 speed) Sold it with 238k Original everything.


Got about 10 highway with this one (4x4 35" tires 6cyl auto) sold it with 220k plus


Get about 16 city/22 highway with this one (2wd 31" tires 6 cyl auto) Has 156k on it and still running strong.

They are super cheap to get into, super cheap to fix and run forever.

Hopefully Ill have the lift and tires done within a month or so. Wanna do everything right this time. The last XJ was fun but it had a thrown together lift with a bunch of random brands.

As clean as this one is, I want it to be just as clean when its done.

I picked up this 2000 with 153k for 2500 bucks!

that's a great score....

[Stunter Bob]

That sounds like a heck of a deal, any problems with it?

Not a single problem! It was stolen, and the only issue was the lock cylinder was broke out and they cut the vent hose to siphon the gas out of it.

Runs like a champ and is minty clean, not a dent or scratch in it!

I'd be interested to see how you like it. The only negative thing I've heard about the RC kits is that they have crappy shocks.

5 speed, 2wd jeep = almost 30mpg on the highway.

auto, 4wd jeep = almost 15mpg on the highway.
