97 xj info

[SicCJ5]

Possibly soon trading up/down? Tradin my 04 Nissan Titan 106k for a 97 xj 152k mechanically sound both, except the kid didn't know how to put an oil filter on an it's peeing everywhere. Any other objectives I should keep my eyes on? T-case looks clean trans and block need to be cleaned he recently replaced the power steering pump an it was leakin but has stopped so he says. Just wondering if this is a good trade on my behalf? He's also throwing in 1.5k$ for tires and just anything else I might want to add/fix any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

SICS-out

U joints. Axle u joints. And front diff case bearings are common at that mileage. But they are pretty good. I wish my 92 only had 152 k. Haha

So only the easy stuff is what I should look for? My cj has everything grease-able the xj just normal replaceable pieces. Simple enough anything else? It is a Chrysler after all

Basic fluid conditions exhaust condition. Etc etc. Doesnt hurt to pull a plug and look at them.
