Again.....what is a "REAL XJ"?

Paul, your image was encoded in two source codes.

The

are the VBB codes for a image and <img src=xxxxxx> is HTML. you can have both in the same image codex.

And I belive Naxja on reconizes the VBB code so you image code should have looked like:

without the x's.

Thanks for your help, but that's over my head. I'll have to go play on the test forum.

I had an easier time talking Leilani into buying a bender than I'll have talking her into letting me go play Sunday, but yeah, I'll probably be there.

More of the Ameba...

Speaking of Sledgehammer, I ran it for the first time in April, at night, with Goatman and CRASH, and we ran it in an hour and a half. Not a scratch on my rig and I'm on 33s. And then I drove it home and to work on Monday.

Just for the record, we didn't run the last section, but took the sand hill out. Quickest I've run the whole trail is 2 hrs, which we probably would have done had we continued, if we didn't have too much trouble on that first obstacle after the sand hill. I've never done that obstacle without winching, seem to always get hung up. We need to run Sledge weekend after next, cause I think I have the line figured out for that spot.

What was the original question?

This is one of my favorite threads.

Enjoy it again.

I hadn't seen this before.
Thanks Terry.

Oh my gawd, here we go again.

Some people didn't get how tongue in cheek the whole thing is.........plus, if you've never seen the Real Men joke book that was funny as hell way back when, you don't quite get the whole drift. Of course, any humor has truth in it, so there is a point to it.

There must have been a little lull going on when I posted that again......it's definitely a discussion provoker.

A real XJ is never "done". It's built to crawl over rocks and plow through mud and take our womens out the next night. Considered "ugly" by most, beautiful to us. Every real XJ has bad modifications, but the good ones should definetly out weigh the bad ones. And a real XJ spends most of it's life unwashed and dirty, the way it was meant to be. :wave:

I've read thru a bunch of the post and I see a common theme.

Capable, reliable, comfortable, utility. That's what I liked about the XJ before, and the reason I bought mine.

Here's my take on a "Real XJ".

Mildly moded (with factory parts) 4.0; RE lift; XJ D44; 4.56s & TrueTracs; 33s; Select Trac; class 3 hitch; ZJ power buckets; and a nice stereo.

I drive it all over the northeast with no worries, I can run black trails at Paragon, and it gets me to work every day.

It's capable, reliable, comfortable, and very utilitarian.

PS. Damn, this thread is an oldie. I need to be more observant.

A real xj is a rig that can drop off the kids at school,pull atrailer to haul whatever where ever,get me to work even if tis a 1.5 hour drive up the interstate,and on friday night when the kids say Dad im bored ,go tackle some of the most rutted out muddy grown up abandoned logging roads and dryed up creelk beds in the hills of Tennessee.The Keyless entry,the Cd player and the air all still work but the body is trimmed ,scratched ,dinged and dented.Its seldom clean but still cleans up fairly nice when the need arises and with the trailer its a pretty nice riding log truck.

A real XJ is mine
Works for what it was designed: capable off-road, capable on-road, comfortable, well-loved by its owner (I mean come on we wouldn't be on this site if we didn't love these things), able to carry family and/or friends + cargo to school/work/from the store/to the trail/etc. I won't go into mods because that all depends on the owner. If you're comfortable still with the top cut off then so be it. I know that's in my future plans, along with a Cann-back soft top.

Ha...I made my wife drive mine to work one day. Sits on 9 inches and 35s. Had some mud on it from the previous weekends adventures. She was so pissed when she got home with mud all over her skirt...HAHA had to work that way all day.
Don't think she has driven it to work since.

I couldn't tell you what a real XJ is....Haven't had one in years.

forgive me, i didn't read all the thread, but i disagree with the comment of having an AC compressor that pumps cool air, but only cause mine didn't come with ac. hell, or even a passenger side view mirror. but after ripping the rear seats out, i can carry all my tools for work, drive to any trail ride, fix almost anyhting i break on the trail, and drive home. its the perfect DD/trail rig.
