New to the forum and recently bought a 97 XJ Sport black 4x4 all stock with 103k miles, Auto. I had an 89 XJ years ago that finally died at around 300k miles. This 97 was a one owner and never been off road. The bumper had been hit on each side enough to wrinkle the fenders and mess up the fender flares. On the drivers side it must have gone over a curb because there is a small dent in the oilpan and exhaust where the pumpkin hit. Already removed all the flares and plastic and trimmed the front and rear fenders.
Next will be the lift and tires but I am going to take my time and wear out the stock tires.
Want to replace bumpers but the off road ones seem a little pricey. Thinking about getting a welder and pipe bender and making my own.
Yesterday went up Sand Canyon to the Santa Clara Divide road and back to Agua Dulce on the 4N17. Easy fire roads but fun and close.
Went out to Palmdale last week and it did pretty well in a sandwash.

they do that so the yoke doesnt hit the pipe at full compression.
