We're running the OEM Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza (P285/45R22) because that's what was on the Yukon when we bought it.
No complaints, but I'll probably bite the bullet and put Michelins on it when the time comes. They've always treated me right, and seem to last forever.
Thank you. We just love the area, and generally go back every other Summer. This was our first time to visit during the fall. I love the summer wildflowers and all, but to me the fall is better out there. Way better. Fewer people, cooler temperatures and when the color finally comes in…...
I suspect you'll love the VANCO kit for years to come, Skruffy. I installed it on our '98 XJ in 2013, and still love it as much today as I did then. It makes a huge difference in braking with 35" tires, and has been flawlessly reliable. It's an investment to be sure, but it's been one of the...
We just completed the maiden towing voyage of our latest tow rig: a 2018 Yukon Denali. We traveled from N. Texas to SW Colorado towing our XJ on an all-metal trailer. While I've never bothered to weigh it, I'm guessing the loaded trailer weights round 6,000 - 6,500 lbs.
According to the trip...
A fall visit to the San Juans
We just returned from the Ouray/Silverton area (Southwest Colorado) and it was a GREAT trip.
We were probably a week or two early for peak color and the smoke from all the wildfires kept things a bit hazy, but it was beautiful nonetheless. As always, the pics...

I haven't posted much, and really haven't even been lurking around here much lately. But we got the XJ off-road again this summer for the first time in a while. It was a great trip and as always, got me thinking...
Thanks for posting. Just seeing the names "Clayton" and "K-Trail" brought back some very fond memories.
Many moons ago, I spent more weekends than I could count 'wheeling the area around Clayton. It was great fun. I don't think I ever took K-Trail east of the old turn-off for the Bus Line...
Sorry if this has already been posted.
Roy Lunn, father of the modern SUV, dies at 92
Roy was the chief designer of our beloved XJ Cherokee.
Here's to you, Roy! :cheers:
Thank you, and my God rest your soul.
Thanks. But the photos don't begin to do it justice, of course. All of the Rocky Mountains are beautiful, to be sure. But there's something special about the San Juans around Ouray. A visit to the area is highly recommended!
We had another great trip to the San Juan Mountains around Ouray this year. No matter how many times we visit, it NEVER gets old. As always, we weren't ready to come home. I miss it already...
Still snow on top, even in August.

I went with the Vanco Big Brake kit (uses Black Magic pads) on my '98 and couldn't be happier. It makes a huge difference over the stock brakes with 35s. And it works perfectly with the stock master cylinder and brake booster. Highly recommended. There are a few posts with install photos in...
Just ordered a set for the XJ, taking advantage the 20% off discount:
USE CODE "Freedom" for 20% off until Friday July 7!
That's $217.00 for the pair, shipped. :thumbup:
Purchased a HomeLink transmitter on eBay (the kind that was originally mounted in the sun visor of a GM vehicle).
Removed the garage-door opener compartment door from the overhead console. Hacked out a hole of the appropriate size/shape.
Installed the HomeLink transmitter in the...
Another vote for the Vanco kit. I've been using it for about 3 years now, and couldn't be happier. HUGE improvement over stock braking with 35" tires. A few installation pics posted in this thread.
