Overland XJs Unite!

1998 XJ

My son and I did the first part of the WABDR- Stevens, WA to Nile, WA. Had a great time in our 98 XJ.

Is that an ARB awning? Looks great.

 

[bainbridge-xj]

It is an ARB awning (2500 version). Very nice to have and easy to set up. I used the FourTreks mounting system which, while expensive, is rock solid.

I like the roof basket. Custom built?

 

[bainbridge-xj]

Thanks. The roof basket comes from B. Lee's Offroad located in Tennessee. Brian has some standard designs for XJs but on this one I wanted a deeper basket- 6 inches- and some segregated areas for the water cans (hard to see but the cans have rails around them). I sent him one of the ARB lights and he designed the front light mounts and the brush deflector with those in mind. His racks aren't inexpensive but he builds a great product.

Not really an expo but putting in while camping. I love to explore but also love to paddle my canoe and my kayaks.

Rock solid, no rattles of any kind. I'm waiting one more trail test on the next trip before I take the rack off and have it powder coated.

Just realized I never posted the pictures in this thread after it was painted and powder coated:







Thanks,

Hey everyone!
I have been lurking for a little while and feel its time to finally get involved since I'm planning a 1 month cross country trip scheduled for fall 2014. I love everything about XJ's and wish Jeep would wise up and start making them again(that sorry excuse for a jeep isn't a cherokee, more like a compass limited).
I was bit by the Overlanding bug by watching videos on YouTube of others trips, I'm not into bashing my rig on giant boulders and rock gardens. Clean, capable, comfy is where I'm headed.

Hp Dana30 front/Dana44 rear from a late 80's XJ

Plus a few little mods here and there.

I love a red XJ... especially mine, but yours looks pretty sweet too! lol





Nice setup so far vonguido. I am not a rock crawler/mudder either. I like to explore and haul around my trailer. Sounds like a fun trip.
