hey trevor. I've found that going out to google and doing your search with naxja in the search field works well. Also you can scroll down right now and see some related threads with similar titles.
I'd say that you have to ask yourself what constitutes being an XJ. I think that when an XJ has 1tons, hydraulic steering, etc it ceases to be a Cherokee.
Thats TOTALLY just me, and not a bad thing either...don't get me wrong.
I'd say, though, that if you're modding just to mod, it might behoove you to step back and ask what you want to use it for...
I personally like the idea of a locked, slightly lifted, armored rig that I can still use everyday, as I have no interest in creating a "toy" truck.
lots of different ways to do that depending on budget.
I like the idea of a 4-5" lift, 33's, 8.25/d30 w/ chromo axles and ARB's, bushwackers, armor, a winch for recovery, and a cage for safety. Then again, I want my truck to last, If I dropped that kind of stuff into my truck, you can believe I'd baby it. The next thing after all that would likely be a rebuilt or crate 4.0l so I could enjoy it for another 250,000 miles.
