I got my first xj because of my wife....All my friends are yota guys so I had my eye on this 85 4-runner that was built to crawl in Utah. got a loan with out telling the wife. came home and said lets go buy this 4-runner. showed her the money, she said hell no. I was pretty mad so I started surfing the local paper and found a 94 xj that was lifted. asked the wife to come and look at it with me, and the rest it history. I have had 4 since then 94,92,88 and current 01. also in between I had a 85 ext cab yota with a auto quickly sold that, and also a 83 yota but always went quickly back to the xj that is why my name is "alwaysxj"
The main perpose of all the xj's I have had has been DD/mild Utah wheeler. some have been more built then other's but always locked in the rear to handle the Utah rocks, at least 33's and long arms. I love the xj and I think I will always have one around, I have got to thank my wife for smaking me back to reality.
