I have not noticed any rattling to this point.

Good Point. I will be sure to test it out.

Awesome! Thanks for the quick replies.

I installed it by myself, so it kind of difficult. An extra set of hands to help hold and balance things would have been nice. But overall it wasnt that bad. I found an install thread online that was pretty helpful. I do not have a gas tank skid.

Hey guys. I am looking at using my XJ to tow a 5x8 Uhaul inclosed trailer to haul a couple couches this weekend. Trip will be about 2.5 hours (Fort Worth, TX to East Texas), no major climbs. My Jeep is a 2000 XJ Sport, 160k on the clock, auto trans. The trailer is 900 lbs empty, so maybe a...

I like it alot. I havnt had any issues with it yet. I like the fact that it can hold a Hi Lift and gerry can. I also could mount my CB antenna on it. Ive been running it for 9 months and am pleased with it so far.

I havnt had any rubbing issues on the flares. Where I have been rubbing is on my ARB bumper. It wraps around too far. If is has rubbed the flares, it hasnt hurt anything yet. And I have had it in some pretty flexed out positions.

Thanks bud. Yes, they are 17 inch Rubicon 10a take offs. I thought they looked cool and hadnt seen any on an XJ. I also like the black and sliver look with a little red jeep. Goes along with my silver and black with hints of red.

Hey guys, Wanted to start a build thread for my 2000 Cherokee. I'm already pretty far along. I bought the jeep completely stock with the C 8.25 rear axle. This is my first XJ. I have built and sold 3 wranglers before this. I've added: 4.5 inch Rubicon Express lift with Bilstein 32 inch BFG...

This particular pic was taken on the way up to Beavers Bend, OK. I just moved up to Fort Worth. I'm currently looking for places to hit up.

New to the forum! Here's my rig.

Check out the LOKKA locker for the Dana 30. It is the Austrailan version of the Aussie (confusing, I know). I just installed it and it is great. $199 shipped to my door.

You should also consider the Chrysler 8.25 rear axle out of an XJ if you have trouble finding a D44. As long as its the 29 spline its comparable to the D44. Might be able to find one easier too.

Thanks for the help. That makes since. I just looked and it looks like my stock bump stops fell out (They are pretty warn out anyway). Think Im going to buy some extended bumpstops and then see what happens.
