[QUOTE="tonybolton, post: 740787, member: 3432"] In my past XJ-life, the OBD1 versions/non Renix 92-95? were better, easier to find parts for. The 96 was the first year of OBD2 and it was more finicky to electrical crap and also the 96 had a few items that were "96 only"....like the fuel pump assembly, ECU, some other random **** I thankfully forgot. Yes, i'm sure you could bypass/work around that but who doesn't just like plug and play? The BEST year to get is a 99 if you can find one in your price range. Better intake manifold, better fan/cooling, HP D30 / D44 axle U joints. The ones I wouldn't get are the 2000-2001s....LPD30 and known to crack cyl heads. However, those years probably have 200K on them by now and have either had it replaced/repaired by now. Still....i'd like to have a 92-95 or my 99 back again. [/QUOTE]
