Returning to a Jeep

I am a returning Jeep owner. I picked up a 91 XJ 2door as a vehicle to supplement my daily driver which is one of my motorcycles. When I was younger I had a 77 CJ7 that I had built to be a rock crawler. I don't want to go to that extreme with this vehicle but I would like to build a good DD that I can take out in the FS roads in the area when I am not riding one of my dual sport bikes. I live in Alcoa TN and do not have any Jeep contacts in the area and I am looking for a good shop.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am also looking to trade the larger tire and wheel combo on the jeep I have now for some smaller thinner ones if some one is looking to trade up.

Welcome back to the land of XJ's.

You should be in good company as there are a lot of guys in the Knoxville area. I'm sure they will chime in. Also keep checking in here as there is a lot going on around here.

Yes FS is forrest service. There are a good deal of them in this area.

I ride KLR650 for local rides normally so I know a fair number of them. I rode my vstrom to Alaska this year and road about 1200 miles of gravel and dirt while we were there. I also use my vstrom to ride most days to work. If you are out on Pellissipi parkway around 8 to 8:30 am and you see one it is likely me.

Hi,

Welcome to NAXJA.
 
Hey coop, I real good shop in the area is Rock Your 4x4. Owner's name is Jason, the website is rockyour4x4.com. Welcome to NAXJA.
 
Hey coop, welcome back to XJ country! The box is right Rock Your 4x4 is awesome. Jason does great work and has awesome customer service. I got my long arm kit and some other things from him. He will take care of you.
 
I look at the website but could not find any contact info or their location. (ok, I am an idiot, I found it. Why dont people put their contact info on every page. It is basic advertising!)

We went all over. We rode up the Alcan Highway. We spent the first night in North Pole Alaska. We dropped off the heavy stuff and rode to the Arctic Circle. We later went down to Fairbanks, including a day trip down the Kennai pennensula. AFter that we went thru Glenallen and back to Tok. I think we hit all the major highways and big dirt roads. On the way back to the states we went to Hyder Ak. It is the farthest most southern town in Ak you can travel to by car in Ak i believe.

The whole trip was about 24 days. A ride of a life time.

Sorry for taken so long to reply. I got a cold from the guy i bought the jeep from. A little gift with purchase.

The tires i think are 32.5 on a very wide rim. I am looking for something in the 30 - 31 range with narrow tread with on a narrow rim. This is my dailey driver and dont need a big tire.
