It certainly falls outside the norm of my XJ experience with my '98 (all the issues he had with his). Never occurs to most people that maybe they just had a "Friday Evening Special" vehicle (a lemon-nothing to do with the owner or how they care for or don't the vehicle in question...sometimes...

Haven,that's not really relevent here ("apples to oranges comparison"),because it's a "hey,I'm going to be spending my own hard earned money and wish to know about these two vehicles,because these are the two I'm considering" comparison...it doesn't matter if the comparison is a '56 oval window...

Good points,and yeah,2 out of the 3 KL's had factory tires on 'em,but the Trail Hawk guy is an offroad-guy,his has a few mods (he hasn't sold his LJ Rubicon after having bought the TH,BTW,but he's enthusiastic about seeing it's limits and extending them as mods become available),it was running...

Having trailed with a few KL's (new Cherokee) in the last month or so-including 1 Trail Hawk...if offroad performance becomes an issue,I'd go 4Runner 100% of the time,I was surprised at some of the things a friend's Trail Hawk made it past/over/through,but I still had to yank him more than once...

As promised...

Wow...fast shipping (it was apparently shipped from Knoxville,TN which is only a coupla hours away,so...),got the new roof rack in around 7:30pm this eve,and had it installed* by just after 8 (too dark for my camera,so pics tomorrow). I didn't realize that my rear rail's release button (that...

Cool,thank,I'll get another on ordered over the weekend :D

That's a GOOD looking Liberty,my friend :drool:

Agree 110% with this! Loving your LJ (OP),my friend! Looking forward to reading about the build and adventures :D FWIW (while I'll still be keeping my XJ until...well,until I'M gone,LOL!),an LJ is one of my dream-rigs to own/build one day. Don't worry about anyone else,you can't pay your bills...

Cool,thanks for the info! Looking at the kit,it does seem decent and the price is right too. I trail mine,but being realistic,it's maybe 10-15% of the time compared to on-road have-to's,so 32's will be plenty for mine :sombrero: I'm heading ove rto my pop's house in a bit (he has brake tools...

Cool score,my friend,mad props :D

Nothing fancy/special,but bought new brakes (rotors/drums,ceramic pads/shoes),new Optima yellow top battery (in anticipation of using the stereo more with the engine off-like when camping-and possibly other equipment including winch/etc),and the supplies needed to change/service all areas that...

Cool,will do :)

Awesome (trip),loving your XJ too,kinda the route I want to take with mine ('98 SPort) :)

I think I got the last one on Amazon.com,it would lemme order 1,but wouldn't lemme order 2,it says "Out of stock",LOL! It cam ein a couple of days ago,but as I haven't been bike-packing or Jeep camping (the reason I wanted a couple) yet,I hadn't used it-so I drained a 1.5ltr bottle of Mtn Dew (I...

No,I didn't mean it as a point,was trying to be funny,my friend,we ALL do that and what we always mean is "nice,but if it were mine,I'd want to...",nothing derogatory intended in the least :) ;) :p

I like how people tell you what your rig "needs" to be nice "("Nice,but needs..."),but never offer to pay for any of it (JOKING,******** :p),looks good to my eye :)

Perfect inspiration for my own XJ wants then,as that sounds lots like what I'm interested in with mine :victory:

Loving this so far,my friend,can't wait to see more. Sweet score on the tires! Interested to hear how 31's perform with 2.5" of lift (I'd always been told a general consensus of 31's go with 3" of lift,but no person experience with that on XJ's myself),thinking of going with a set of 30x9.5's or...

Really looking forward to watching your build (mine's a '98 XJ Sport,4.0L/auto etc) :D
