Hey,
I have just recently bought a 96 white XJ, It is my DD, but i also am getting into some Off highway driving, I have been to the Coves/ Butcher Jones. Right now it is stock, but i am looking to get about 3" and run nothing bigger then 33"s i also want to get some lockers, and other little things, im not looking to make it look Extra-ordinary or anything.. just a fun/ clean DD/ Trail XJ

Thanks

Watch out, this support group can get expensive if you don't watch out.

Your Jeep is in really nice shape. Don't molest it too much. You can have a capable trail vehicle without tearing it up, and still have it look nice as a daily driver. Good luck with your build!

Thanks!

I am definitely going to take good care of it, and keep it as clean as possible

its healing... But I'll likely break the wound open again before its all better.


Once you go wheeling on the rocks you realize how fun it is to not care if you get scratched and beat up. I didnt plan on beating mine up, but after the first good dent... wheeling has never been so much fun!

Hope to see you on the trails! :)

Hey at least it is still fun! I am hoping mine doesn't get all dented and dinged, but after five years, if i am still wheelin' this XJ in AZ i might consider chopping and caging it. :hang:
