I know this would probably be better in the modified forum but I wanted opinions here because the SoCal board knows better what type of terrian we run.
That being said, I would like to know if I really need stiffeners.
The XJ is my daily driver. I am not going to be doing any hardcore rock crawling. Most of what I do will be just tooling around the desert. I chase for an off-road race team and I am planning on doing a Death Valley trip. Otherwise I am planning on only doing some desert camping and mostly fire road stuff.
I went to a local well known off road shop and they wanted $1000.00 for stiffeners and sliders/tube steps, installed.
I just can't justify spending that much money. I can do all of the work myself. I'm just not sure I can find the time or energy.
Anyway, it's a '98 with a BDS 4.5 lift, 32 11.50 15 BFG all-terrains. I'm still waiting on the SYE and drivesaft and the Detours tailbone system....
Thanks.
