Hi UpstateXJ, welcome to the xjtalk forum!

We would love to know more about you and your Jeep. How you found us, etc...

Check out "Announcements" "How to post an image" for help posting images.

Got a Wrangler? Maybe a friend with one? http://www.WranglerTalk.com/

Hello!

My name is Terry and I just picked up a used 98 XJ. I got rid of my big crawler in favor of something a little more tame and streetable.

Specs:
98 XJ Sport
4.0L
AW4 Auto
NP231 T-Case
4.5" Short Arm Rough Country Lift
BALD 33X12.5X15 MTR's (34x9.5x15 TSL's have been ordered)
ARB Bumper
Smittybilt XRC8 Comp winch has been ordered

Current Plans
Long Arm Upgrade! I am shopping around looking at either getting an upgrade kit for the 4.5" kit I have now or going with a full kit from Clayton. Would really like to get the full kit from Clayton with the rear coil upgrade :) Also on the hunt for a set of Rubicon axles. My last rig had one ton axles and all the goodies and I have a set of tons I could use but I just don't want this thing getting out of hand like my last rig lol

I want something that will take me down the moderate to difficult trails confidently and the gf still ride with me. She wouldn't ride with me in the old crawler...had a tendency to make full throttle passes up vertical trails :D

Look for pics soon.

Full throttle? Why not?

My wife and I are going for five days of crawling tomorrow.

Yeah, she isn't into that kind of wheeling. Hopefully the XJ will keep me in line a little bit. Ready to plan a line and actually wheel rather than hammer my way through a trail.
