Expedition style XJ build was the clear winner.

Keep an eye on NAXJA for upcoming updates... this is gonna be a cool rig! Alot of our sponsoring vendors are already stepping up to the plate with offers of product for the build.

So talk to me, what items and modifications would you like to see on this vehicle, and please expand to describing why.

honestly I have been trying to find one of these:

For the XJ. It seems a lot are made for the Wrangler - but for the XJ its slim pickings. Now I'm sure it won't be hard to adapt - at least thats the hope I'm moving in as I build my rig up - but I think one of these on an Expedition Rig would ROCK!

I think we would all agree the need to carry some extra fuel is a necessity.

Just saw this! Very cool...

Yeah, it is. Meet ya in Moab for the raffle!

Don't know if it's what your after but AJ made me a very nice tire/two jerry can carrier rear bumper:

Rich, that bumper looks good. How does AJ's new double shear pivot seem to be holding up?

Are you able to open swingaway fully without contacting cans to the body? Can you lock the swingaway in position?

We are looking for a donor vehicle for the build. Currently leaning towards a 99 with 4.0, automatic and 4 doors. Needs to be clean (ZERO rust) come from a region which does not use salt, well maintained and preferably low mileage. We would prefer a stock or near stock vehicle. If you have or know of something available please PM me. We will need well detailed info and plenty of pics of the vehicle, asking price and location.

Thought i'd bump this, we are looking for the vehicle described in post above.

We would like to purchase in the near future, complete the build and get the opportunity to showcase this rig at various events before being given to a new owner at our annual Moab event.
