ARB is nice but there are many front bumpers out there just as stout for way less money.
How many xj owners on here

I got a 92 XJ that is built for rock crawling and tougher trails.
Currently building my 2000 XJ into an all around expedition-type rig.....and also using it as a daily driver currently.

I traded for a few reasons...I wanted the 4.0, I wanted something 4 door and ive alwasy liked the XJs. Im getting into camping more, and the XJ just fits the bill better than the TJ. not to mention its WAY more comfortable onroad. Power everything and AC is nice to have in a DD. It was hard going from a locked/lifted TJ on 34s to a BONE stock XJ, but i'll have this opne built soon enough!toledotimber said:

Downgrading? Doesn't that imply that one is somehow superior to the other? I beg to differ! The best Jeeps (or any vehicle make) are those that are used to take us to the horizon and beyond ... those that transcend normal use. Your horizon might be atop a perilous mountain of rock, or miles across a barren wasteland - the purpose is the same.

Removal of front locker, removal of rock sliders, lowered from 8.5" and 36's down to 6" and 33's, ditch OBA in favor of OB electrical, generally making it more comfortable for the interstate vs the rockpile.
To be honest i feel your rig may be far superior to mine for MY current interests, wanna trade? :shakin:

yeah, downgrading might not be the correct word.
but i'm definately making my new one more comfortable than my last

Yet another Frameless Wonder here. New to this site, but a lot of you know me from NAXJA, etc. Here's my '94 2-dr Sport 4.0 HO, running a HP D44 front axle, 4.88s and a full Detroit. Ford 8.8 rear, also Detroit. 34" Trxus M/T radials, Terra 2Low, and a lot of custom ********.
Camping trip with a couple other XJ's last summer...very patriotic, no?
While I love extreme rock crawling and stuff, I've kept the XJ streetable and reliable. I even drove it to Moab (2300-ish miles) a few weeks ago...then wheeled the crap out of it and drove home. It's what makes Cherokees unique, IMHO.
