I spent some time working on the zj this weekend. I installed the new skyjacker lift and some Energy suspension rear swaybar links. Rides a lot better now. I need to add a 1 inch spacer in the rear to compensate for the bumper/tire carrier. I'm hoping to get my new Rubicon Express control arms...
It is. Its the same track width as the zj and tows awesome. Same bolt pattern as Jeep too. Its still a work in progress but useable as it sits right now. I'm working on the onboard water and electrical systems at the moment. Hoping to have it all finished up for the spring.

Easy decission. Go w the xj. That way u can use your old one for a parts rig. Just a suggestion. I was faced w the same dilemma a while ago too. The zj is a nice expo rig as well. That's what I am driving now after 2 modified xjs.
First of all nice xj. As the former owner of 2 xjs they r awesome wheeling rigs. Sorry as I converted to the zj grand side of the fence. Much more comfortable w the back and knee issues I have. Secondly its nice to sees the better half out there wrenching. My wife has assisted w all my project...
