X2 on contacting Dirk at DPG, I'm running one of his OME setups and love the ride and road manners. It will also flex really well, but I was looking for more at a suspensions ability to handle increased loads for the gear I would carry, ride well, and perform well offroad. I also think the guys...

Another view of the house, putting it to sleep for the night.

When I was there they raced late model stock cars and his kids raced legends. I think they make Mopar go fast parts for The Hemi now.

Is WV so strict that a cop would give you a ticket for your current setup or do you just need to make the inspector happy? If its just the inspectors I would go to a junkyard and buy 4 XJ or KJ wheels and tires that would pass and take it in for inspection. Then you can run what you want after...

Im from Newport News and used to go to Charlie Daniels Racing which is right down the street from that house. I haven't put together a build thread but I really need to, I'll let you know when I start one.

Thanks for the continued responses, as far as maintenance on them both the XJ has been more preventative and the WK has been break fix. XJ I did things like replace as many seals as possible to clean up leaks including freeze plugs and water pump. The one problem I did have is my passenger side...

Art I run the Cooper AT ST Maxx in 245/75/16 on my 1999 XJ. They are load range E and I run them at 38lbs around town and have had them down to 12lbs on the trail. No issues and I love them, I run a OME lift ehich I think rides pretty well. I had stock highway tires before these and I was...

Thanks everyone for the thoughtful responses, it's awesome to see so much support on this forum for the XJ.

Im originally from near you, Newport News. Live in Charleston SC now, love your build thread and Im jealous you are so close to the George Washington National Forest. Also I think I'll go back to the factory Trak-Lok, I don't love the auto locker in the rear end and I don't hate it. Agree that...

Is that old house in smithfield? Awesome build thread, my XJ has a similar build.

I'm sure some variation of this question has been asked on the interwebs but I wanted to present my predicament with you good folks and see if I can make a decision. I have too many cars and the wife is pushing for two things, 1. a newer car for her and 2. kids. She currently drives a stock 2005...

trailhawk how do you like that smittybuilt rear tire carrier? Great looking rig!

Thanks, it was kind of like buying an old house with nasty carpet and finding out there is nice hardwood underneath. It was filthy, had an exhaust leak and was leaking oil from all the normal places. I had to repair the front driver seat frame, detail it inside and out, change the valve cover...

1999 Cherokee Sport Expedition Build In Progress Picked up my XJ for $1500 with 170k on the clock. The previous owner ran the rear diff out of oil and he installed some awful helper shocks in the back. I installed a stock ratio Yukon Ring and Pinion with a bearing kit and it cleared up the...
