Ok, y'all seem friendly and I haven't seen any flaming around here so I'll ask a Newbie question. How capable is a stock XJ?
I have an 88 auto 4x4. I'm planning to take it on a week long hunting trip next week and there are some places I go that are pretty harry. Not a lot of rocks or any of that extreme stuff but lots of mud, rough roads, and sometimes fairly deep (24 inches) water.
I know alot depends upon who's behind the wheel. I haven't had much experience honestly. I'll be depending upon the Jeep alot to overcome my inexperience. I know just to take it slow and easy. I also have heard that wheel spin helps keep the mud out of the tires.
I'm taking it this weekend up to my shop at home and plan to go over it mechanically. Check fluid levels, belts, hoses, leaks, etc.
I see folks here putting hoses and stuff on the transmission, d-cap, etc... How deep of water is that for?
Thanks for not :flame: me and I appreciate your advice.
