Different strokes for different folks I guess. I drove my 6.5" Long Armed 32x11.50 BFG ATed XJ (with all the armor from JCR on it) from Ohio to NC, up to VA, then back to NC, then back to Ohio (I was in the Army and moved around a lot). And tons of overnight wheeling trips in between. Sure, it's...

Some great info! I didn't realize the LJ is close to the same size inside as the XJ. I owned the XJ for ~6 years, so I am pretty comfortable working on it. I also owned a '99 TJ for 4 years, but it was all stock. The other option was for me to buy a Tacoma. But I think you are right, knowing a...

Very good points, but I have a couple nits to pick though. My old XJ with 6.5 inches of lift and 32" BFG AT's got 20mpg in the mountains of western VA, so that point is kind of moot. Also, outside of serious dana 60 38"+ rubber wheeling, have you seen the unibody ever have trouble on an XJ...

Ouch, that website is painful to navigate!

I'll skip the back story for now, but what are your thoughts on using an XJ to go around the world? They are dirt simple to work on, minimal electrics. Super cheap, more money for travel and junk. (kind of) world availability. Built in the US, Venezuela, Argentina, Egypt, and China. Also sold...

Great stuff, and very inspiring! Couple questions though... Are you able to have insurance (car and medical) without a home address? How are you dealing with the license plates on the truck? What will you do when the tags expire? Will your truck run on used motor oil, or just diesel/veggie?

X2! This is Expo portal, not priceline with William Shatner! Hehe

If you build it, I will come. With the wife and kids too. That will give us three drivers (daughter drives) so if people need vehicles transported back home after the end of the world we could arrange something. We are coming from Ohio, so really anywhere in the eastern 3/4 of the US is kind...

True, but any disadvantage I can provide...

I'm (or will be in a year) in the exact same predicament you are in with my daughter. The thing that helped me decide, and really made the decision very easy.... Teenagers cant lay down in the TJ. :sombrero:

It's also a great time to move your air intake to the cowl. http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f11/another-cowl-air-intake-write-up-741764/

Dunno why, but I was thinking R&D. Disregard last.

NMC M3731 NBB 5473154 Napa part numbers. That's all you need. It will take about an hour to rip the old junk out, then another hour to get the new stuff in. Bleed and drive. No need to R&R anything. You could be driving by tomorrow.

It's just springs and shocks for the RE, not a lot of value there. But I suppose you are right, it could be done as a straight up trade with someone wanting to go taller. I hadn't thought about that.

I didn't vote as I have no experience with the duratracs or moab. What I can tell you is that 32x11.50x15 BFG A/T's are a quiet good performing (off and on-road) tire for an XJ. I have a 6.5" RE long arm on mine with an 8.8 out back and a D30 up front. From what I understand, the 8.25 is good to...

I fully agree with you keeping the GC, I just had to try to throw a different perspective at you. Keep the pics coming.

Ill play devils advocate. You could get a way better platform then a GC for 20k. Plenty of LC's and Rovers out there for less. With much less plastic, and way better aftermarket support. Plus they are ready for an expedition out of the box. Heck, you could get any older vehicle and put a...

I looked all over your website for more pictures of the XJ. Could you post more pictures and information please. What is the height over the stock roof (to clear the garage door)?
