Chris, did i really insult ya here? Obviously i used the wrong word...wasnt my intention, please accepy my apologies.

My point was i was removing items that made my vehicle more suitable to the rocks.

No, not at all John! I'm on the Internet day in and day out. You have to do quite a number on me to get through this skin. You could even say something about my momma if you want, assuming she doesn't check this forum. :D

I understood ya perfectly - just bein' a wiseass. :costumed-smiley-007

To keep it on-topic, here are a few of my XJ's from days of yore.

My 1996 looks like cshontz white one and Matt's. For my 4 person family the XJ is a GREAT ! rig.... use it for wheel'n & camping & sometimes as a commuter to work.
Some mods I've built and some I've bought.... basically a point and shoot rig.
NAXJA is a great source of XJ knowledge as is the JeepForum XJ forum.

Now I want to try to build up a MJ trailer to tow behind the XJ... hence the reason I started coming to this site... the Camping/AT trailer forum....

XJ's are great

Here's mine! XJ are great vehicles. Big enough but not too big. Tough enough. Easy to work on. Parts available just anywhere. And inexpensive as a used 4X4.
 
I'm late to the party, but I just bought it so, here's mine. I've only had it a few days so no offroad pics yet. Only a post wash poser pic. :) I have taken it through 1.5 ft of water tho and it didn't even breath hard. :) Lovin it.

Here's mine as of late:

RE 4.5 springs w/ .75" spacer
Rustys 3" full packs with Chevy lowering shackles
RE HD track bar
Currie steering
33's
 
Here's my Heep.....to the Rubicon twice, all over Moab twice, all over Washington and Oregon.....it's held up pretty well for a 1990 with 269k miles.

Lots of armor, locked front and rear, generally carry everything inside and low, 6.5" of lift loaded, 33" tires, 102" WB.

Not pretty but very effective.

Here's mine with a long list of stuff done to it. More or less just for crawlin. I've got a set of full widths I am building to go under it.

Nice Woody!

I like what you did with the THOR guards. Nice addition.

I'm running THOR guards, a prototype THOR flat belly skid, one-off THOR front and rear tube bumpers and they helped me with the rock rail outriggers. Nice guys, bulletproof armor.

Mine, '01 with about 5" lift on 33s, rear is locked, front has limited slip.

My idea for the way it is built was something I could still drive to the trail and back, yet wheel whatever I wanted. So far it has worked.

Did you modify your bump stops? Do you have any fender interference when you stuff the tires?

I have extended bump stops front and rear and the fenders are cut front and rear. I have rubbed the fender when the wheel was turned hard but no damage yet. :)
 
I got a 87 XJ, first year 4.0L, been one of the best vehicles I have ever owned. The maintence to miles ratio is unreal. It's got 185k on it and she's still strong. This vehicle owes me nothing, it's paid for itself 2-3 times over lol.
