ran a stock xj today

I have had my xj for 6 years and built it up, it has 33 tsl's grooved, aussie locker in front d30, 8.25 open 4.5'' lift winch and more. I just bought a stock country eddition, cherokee 4x4 to mess with and I took it out wheelin today. I did some nice hills with it even easier then it is in my ''built'' rig, it does have some kind of ''factory'' locker in the rear and 215's. It inpressed me so much I cant wait to take it out again. Anyone else run a stock rig through some tough trails before ?

yep. these things are amazing stock

It's all about light weight and a low center of gravity

yeah my friend can pretty much whoop me offroad with his stock retired sheriff jeep. The freakish thing came with every possible desired offroad stock option. Front skid, Transfer case skid, gas tank skid, and a limited slip diff in the rear.Im am very jealous considering that mine tcame with no offroad options, and i was even unlucky enough to get an abs model.Yay!!!



and here is mine.

mine had all that stuff too. now i dont have LSD anymore. hasnt slowed me down really though

I got a stocker about two years ago and I was going to move my lift and stuff over but I just love driving it this way. I have taken it all kinds of places including the beach and it does fine. So now I'm trying to figure out what to do with the old one.

I've taken mine a few places. The real problem with them is the limited ground clearance, so any kind of washout or mogul will get you stuck quick. Avoid those and they are a hoot

I really wish I had an LSD

I really dont know how people drive these things with tires any smaller than 225's I dont run under 235s
