hey everyone im new here and lookin to learn about some of the Jeep stuff.
looking at getting and older XJ to fix up and work with to make a crawler toy out of strictly off road use only. got a Harley im workin on that should be done in a month or so and gonna try and trade or sell it to get a starter project XJ
had one quick question for you all...i know most of the Jeeps have small 30 and 8.25 axles how tough are these things? i know they arent a Dana 80 but how long will they last. and also what kind of lift kit would you all suggest to start with...not looking for anything hard core like a 4 link yet just something to get it up in the air some but want to get a good kit to start with for now. would like to be able to get 35s at least under it.
looking forward to gettin a rig set up before summer so the wife and kids can go and do some wheelin.
thanks for any advise
