    First post, and my 4-door flatbed XJ

    Early last week I had a party interested in buying the flatbed Cherokee. After a comedy of errors including flat trailer tires and bonzai runs into the big city without plates, just as the fellow agrees to a deal, the front brakes start binding. Ok, here's your envelope of money back, I will...
