I got my 89 XJ (215k miles) as a replacement for my rolled over Explorer recently. It's taken a bunch of work, but may now be reliable, but not too pretty. It's for daily driving with kids and needs to be safe on the road.
However, looking at various pics and reports from Moab, THAT looks like fun. It even looked like some almost-stock XJs do it, although I dont' know how they handle the stresses and unnatural forces in some of the places! I used to ride trails and such in my Bronco II, and I'm gettin' itchy again I think :helpme: The Explorer never could cut it, so it's been a long while.
The question is (are):
Can one participate stock with maybe LT or AT tires? If not, what would be the minimal lift (CHEAP) and tire selection to do it? Cost is a big issue with all the repairs so far, but I'd like to occasionally go out and maybe even go to Moab or some of the more exciting rides.
Thanks.
