So I had my first real off road drive today in the Ghost. I followed my friend who lives in Calgary and is an avid ice climber. He has a Subaru Forrester with a 2.5" lift....that was a first. I knew I could make it anywhere he could in my 2001 sport, bone stock. I will post some pics and a video of one of my river crossings. I did find out that I need a small lift for sure! I'm running 235/75/15 studs and my rear tires rubbed the fenders quite a lot, they are a little wide. What a fun day.....exactly why I bought an XJ! My list of mods grew as the day progressed! I can't wait to begin the upgrades but again, VERY impressed with what she did bone stock, had her in 2 most of the time, had to put it in 4 for the river crossings and the occasional big snow drift. Again, pics and a video to come. Feel free to google the Ghost River in Alberta. My friend has a video of a crossing in his Subaru....bdclimber is what it's under.
