How many xj owners on here

[Big Daddy Chia]

I have one 92 3.5" lift waiting to get finished so I can drive it. Have a lot of work to do before I can drive it though

[xr8dxj]

I've got one in my garage... I'm sorta in Iraq until November though, but I miss my daily driver.

[detailbarn]

I have two sort off , one is my wifes DD 2000 and the second is my 1989 Comanche which is mostly a cherokee just with a bed. I here ya with the lot of work some day mine will look like this.

[stomperxj]

I've got a 98 SE... getting ready to order a whole truckload of parts for it.

[alky350]

i got a 91 XJ too. i cant wait to do some runs with it. i just got done installing a 6' full traction lift and goodyear mt 33's. dana 44 in the rear. im regaring soon. mybe 4.56's or 4.88. i'll post pics when im done.

[\\'anderer]

I have a 94 with a 3" lift, JKS quicker disconnects and a dynomax cat-back exhaust. In the garage is a Ford 8.8 with discs, SYE kit and a 4" lift. The only reason I want any more lift is for the rear suspension. All the gear and the trailer cause the back end to rub the tires (and that is without the new heavy rear bumper, canoe,jerry can, and extra gear). See pic below.

99 Limited with 4-5" lift.

[BigAl]

I often wish I'd gone with a cherokee instead of a wrangler:( More room, cheap, and every yard around has at least a couple for parts scavenging. I've got a buddy who buys them super cheap, swaps on a lift, beats the snot out of them, then starts over. We just bought a 95 PA State Park Cherokee at auction for ~$1100. It had "bad steering" written on the windshield so nobody bid. We threw on a new box and the thing is perfect. It still says Park Ranger:jumping:

[Big Daddy Chia]

Well I could say I love my cherokke but I havent actually driven it any where except from where I bought it to the house. So far it has a RE 3.5 " lift with pro comp adjustable track bar, ZJ steering upgrade, new drag link, new brakes. Waiting to be done list. Front bumper, rear main seal, SYE kit, major tune up including draining the front and rear diffs.

[toledotimber]

1999 Limited. I just finished making the rear side windows removable (they're in in this picture). I'm just waiting to get the go ahead from my wife to do the same to the rear windshield.

Thanks! 52 more payments, and its mine!

[Big Daddy Chia]

ARB is nice but there are many front bumpers out there just as stout for way less money.

[Motorvated]

Argh! I just traded my TJ for a black 4door XJ. Bone stock for now.

Why'd you trade "up"?

[T&A-XJ]

90 Cherokee with 33s and a long list of mods. Been through the Rubicon, Moab and just about everywhere in the Washington Cascades.

[IntrepidXJ]

I got a 92 XJ that is built for rock crawling and tougher trails.

Currently building my 2000 XJ into an all around expedition-type rig.....and also using it as a daily driver currently.

[Offroader5]

Here's mine with a long list of stuff done to it. More or less just for crawlin. I've got a set of full widths I am building to go under it.

Why'd you trade "up"?
I traded for a few reasons...I wanted the 4.0, I wanted something 4 door and ive alwasy liked the XJs. Im getting into camping more, and the XJ just fits the bill better than the TJ. not to mention its WAY more comfortable onroad. Power everything and AC is nice to have in a DD. It was hard going from a locked/lifted TJ on 34s to a BONE stock XJ, but i'll have this opne built soon enough!

[OverlandZJ]

94 Cherokee Sport that started life as a 2wd Texas vehicle. Currently being downgraded (re-configured ;) from a rockcrawler to Adventure rig. Paint and some interior resto work coming up sometime in August.

Currently being downgraded from a rockcrawler to Adventure rig.


same thing i'm doing...except i'm not downgrading mine (way too much work)....i just got another one :D

[cshontz]

downgraded

Downgrading? Doesn't that imply that one is somehow superior to the other? I beg to differ! The best Jeeps (or any vehicle make) are those that are used to take us to the horizon and beyond ... those that transcend normal use. Your horizon might be atop a perilous mountain of rock, or miles across a barren wasteland - the purpose is the same.

Good to see ya here Randy!

This will be my last XJ i think, MJ, ZJ or possibly an LJ if i stay with Jeep. I'v been lusting over Disco's and Cruisers as well. :smiley_drive:

Removal of front locker, removal of rock sliders, lowered from 8.5" and 36's down to 6" and 33's, ditch OBA in favor of OB electrical, generally making it more comfortable for the interstate vs the rockpile.

To be honest i feel your rig may be far superior to mine for MY current interests, wanna trade? :shakin:

[IntrepidXJ]

yeah, downgrading might not be the correct word.

but i'm definately making my new one more comfortable than my last :D

Chris, did i really insult ya here? Obviously i used the wrong word...wasnt my intention, please accepy my apologies.

My point was i was removing items that made my vehicle more suitable to the rocks.

[IXNAYXJ]

Yet another Frameless Wonder here. New to this site, but a lot of you know me from NAXJA, etc. Here's my '94 2-dr Sport 4.0 HO, running a HP D44 front axle, 4.88s and a full Detroit. Ford 8.8 rear, also Detroit. 34" Trxus M/T radials, Terra 2Low, and a lot of custom shat.

Camping trip with a couple other XJ's last summer...very patriotic, no?

http://www.pnwzj.com/Moab2007/Moab%20Sean/moab%20%20brian%20138.jpg

While I love extreme rock crawling and stuff, I've kept the XJ streetable and reliable. I even drove it to Moab (2300-ish miles) a few weeks ago...then wheeled the crap out of it and drove home. It's what makes Cherokees unique, IMHO.

No, not at all John! I'm on the Internet day in and day out. You have to do quite a number on me to get through this skin. You could even say something about my momma if you want, assuming she doesn't check this forum. :D

I understood ya perfectly - just bein' a wiseass. :costumed-smiley-007

To keep it on-topic, here are a few of my XJ's from days of yore.

Now that is one FINE looking garage!!:wings:

[Xtreme XJ]

My 1996 looks like cshontz white one and Matt's. For my 4 person family the XJ is a GREAT ! rig.... use it for wheel'n & camping & sometimes as a commuter to work.
Some mods I've built and some I've bought.... basically a point and shoot rig.
NAXJA is a great source of XJ knowledge as is the JeepForum XJ forum.

Now I want to try to build up a MJ trailer to tow behind the XJ... hence the reason I started coming to this site... the Camping/AT trailer forum....

Here's mine! XJ are great vehicles. Big enough but not too big. Tough enough. Easy to work on. Parts available just anywhere. And inexpensive as a used 4X4.

[dieck]

I'm late to the party, but I just bought it so, here's mine. I've only had it a few days so no offroad pics yet. Only a post wash poser pic. :) I have taken it through 1.5 ft of water tho and it didn't even breath hard. :) Lovin it.

[John90XJ]

Here's my Heep.....to the Rubicon twice, all over Moab twice, all over Washington and Oregon.....it's held up pretty well for a 1990 with 269k miles.

Lots of armor, locked front and rear, generally carry everything inside and low, 6.5" of lift loaded, 33" tires, 102" WB.

Not pretty but very effective.

Nice Woody!

I like what you did with the THOR guards. Nice addition.

I'm running THOR guards, a prototype THOR flat belly skid, one-off THOR front and rear tube bumpers and they helped me with the rock rail outriggers. Nice guys, bulletproof armor.

Mine, '01 with about 5" lift on 33s, rear is locked, front has limited slip.

My idea for the way it is built was something I could still drive to the trail and back, yet wheel whatever I wanted. So far it has worked.

Did you modify your bump stops? Do you have any fender interference when you stuff the tires?

[DaJudge]

I have extended bump stops front and rear and the fenders are cut front and rear. I have rubbed the fender when the wheel was turned hard but no damage yet. :)

[highlandercj-7]

I got a 87 XJ, first year 4.0L, been one of the best vehicles I have ever owned. The maintence to miles ratio is unreal. It's got 185k on it and she's still strong. This vehicle owes me nothing, it's paid for itself 2-3 times over lol.

[AFSOC]

Yep, I've got one too. A white 99 with 80k. Gotta be the best value in off roading. Unmatched aftermarket support.

[IH8RDS]

New here.

I have a 99XJ ford 8.8 ARB's 4.56 31". Moving up to 33" soon. I always considered my self a low CG guy but it is getting old dragging the 8.8 everywhere.

Do you have any close ups of the trimming you did on the Bull Bar? I have to trim mine soon for 33" tires.

Its the bull bar for the earlier cherokees, so I didn't have to trim it.

[Explorer 1]

Bought it new in 1990, was my daily driver for years until I gave it to my mom for about 5 years. I started taking it off-roading more so I took it back, gave her another SUV and started the modifications. Still have a few boxes of parts to install or modify. Only have 126k miles. Has been a real faithful friend and has gone just about everywhere I have asked it.

Upgrading or changing things can seem like a never ending story...........

Thanks

[Maximus Ram]

Guess I introduce myself and my rigs here.....
Found this site while researching sand ladders. I like the what I have been seeing. Great info not only on vehicles builds , but the trailer section is awsome.
My name is Matt and I currently have a 93 XJ w/ 4.5" Black Mtn lift, 31" BFG A/T's on Jeep Canyon rims, Con-Ferr rack, E-Bay rear bumper w/ spare tire-jerry can ability....
I have a MileMarker PE 8000 for it when I find the right bumper.
My other rig is a 97 Dodge Ram X-Cab 4x w/ 3" Rncho lift, 315/75/BFG M/T's, 5.2 powerplant w/Hypertech programmer. This is my DD, so the XJ is being outfitted as the Family wheelin' rig....
Haven't figured out how to post pics here yet, but when I do I'll post some.

Great site:wings:

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee34/kc0tma/jeep-fun-happy-happy.jpg

Here is my 99 xj, straight six, automatic transmission. I've got a 2.5" lift with 235/75 tires on black soft 8 wheels. The only engine modification I've done is a K&N intake, but I would like to do an edge trail jammer kit. And as soon as these tires go bald I am going to put another inch and a half of lift and get some 32 inch tires.

But my dream jeep is a wrangler with a brute conversion and LS1 engine swap and a set of portal gear axles.

[The Adam Blaster]

Wow, lots of XJ owners on here! :clapsmile:

I've got a 98 that is currently, and has been for months, undergoing a larger lift.
I had a 3" Skyjacker on there for about 3 years and finally wore/tore out about 7 BFG M/T's over that time and figured i should get some new meats.
Thought i could get some 33-12.5R15's on there with new wheels and better offset if i cut the fenders enough...
I was wrong. :(
So, i got an RE 4.5 and started ripping all te old crap off. Pretty much from the start it was a total PITA job, and i started this thing back in September. Then in November it got too cold in my un-insulated garage to work on it, so it's been sitting there in a couple hundred pieces since that time.
It's just starting to warm up (it's been above freezing a few days in March) so i'm hoping to get some friends and get out there soon to get rolling on it again.
I've got an ARB snorkel on there now, but i need a replacement rubber tube, the part that runs from the fender area to the airbox.
I also need bumpers front and rear (mine have been pounded on enough for a couple of lifetimes now) and some rock sliders.
A winch would be nice as well, but front tow points will suit me fine for a while. lol

I attached a pic of some nice waterfalls that are fun to try and climb at a friend's property in NY state. (It was Canada Day long weekend.) :D

I'm an XJ owner too. It's my daily driver. (I gotta' take some more recent pics) Nothing too exciting with this one. Just a few aftermarket things:

Yakima landing pads and control towers
Yakima 58" cross bars

I like how you tied your bumper into your fender protection and your rock sliders.
I'd like to do that with mine eventually as well. :26_7_2:

Here's my '91 when I bought it for $200 (not running-but I cut out the bad plug on the CPS and butt connected the wires back together and it ran fine after that :wings: )

I'm starting to get to the point where rock crawling is getting old, and am looking to equip the XJ more for adventure with the family. I may even fix the body and interior, and throw on a decent paint job, too. :victory:

2001 XJ 3.5 on 33's

Dude, how did you get your XJ with a 3.5" lift to fit 33's???

I had a Skyjacker 3" on my '98 and i cut THE HELL out of the fenders, but those 33's would NOT fit in there. The tires rubbed as soon as i turned the wheel about 30%...

My tires are 33x12.5R15's on wheels with 3.75" of backspace.

[ckale1]

Magic I guess...JK. It's just the RE 3.5 SF kit with factory canyon wheels and 1.5" wheel spacers. The RE kits do run a little big, but you can see in the pic's I'm trimmed up to the washer bottle. Here is another flex shot at URE.

What kind of fender flare is that on the front? Is it a rear TJ flare or a flare from a newer model XJ?

[The Adam Blaster]

Magic I guess...JK. ..... and 1.5" wheel spacers.


I guess those spacers helped quite a bit!
I cut and cut and cut, but wit hthe crappy Skyjacker kit, i was rubbing badly on the firewall. Good work on yours!

[ckale1]

Thanks. Since being on this forum, I have thought about going to a 16" wheel and something close to an 34/11.50. I dont know what that would be in metric, but I like the tall skinny look. What do you guys think?

[gprsdlyt]

heres mine. runs 35's with room to stuff, going to 37's. rear, spooled d44 (thats a xj d44) w/ chromo shafts. front, hp d30 (non disco conv), truetrac, chromo shafts. np231 w/ ss sye, f&r Double Cardans....etc

I am running a 33x12.50 right now and I am considering taller and skinnier next time around. I think a something around a 34x11.50 is what I am looking for.

[OverlandZJ]

Correct.. 97+ XJ flares. I'm going back to earlier style though, had enough of these popping off the nutstrips.

I also plan a taller/narrower tire next set. 33x10.50 or maybe a 285/75 which i think equates to a 34x11?

Welcome, good to see a local on here. Do you go to Uwharrie much?

[jeephog]

All but the bottom pic are from this past Saturday. I try to go at least once a month if possible. Got my season pass this year, so gotta make it worth my while. This past weekend I was able to introduce 4 of my friends who all have Jeeps to the trails there. Let's just say that the bug bit hard this weekend. 3 of the 4 Jeeps had never even been in the dirt before. It was great!

I will definitly have to meet up with y'all one weekend. My Jeeps been out to Pisgah but it hasnt seen Uwharrie yet. Maybe in the next couple of months we can set up a meet, and if any other ExPo members want to meet up that would be cool too.

[jeephog]

That sounds great. Where in Pisgah are you going?

[jh504]

Iv been through Pisgah a couple of times and I will be going back sometime this summer. I might even hit Tellico depending on what is open. I tend to stay on the TN border East of GSMNP, there are alot of logging roads through the NF to explore. Being that your in Indian Trail you most likely know alot more about that area than me.

[jeephog]

That would be awesome. Yeah, I spent alot of summers camping up there, on the NC side as a kid. But I have yet to have my Jeep up there. I've not even been up to Tellico yet. Uwharrie is actually closer to me than Pisgah, but not by too much.

Please let me know when you plan to roll through here, heading up that way. I could even day trip up there. New trails are what I'm hunting now. My buddy in the white Scrambler is really looking forward to more places to play as well.

[Maximus Ram]

I use to have the XJ...but my Daughter "aquired" it some how when she started driving:safari-rig: :(

I will see if I can get a couple of XJ guys from around here to come and maybe we could either meet up at Uhwarrie, since you know those trails, or head up to Pisgah. I will see what I can put together and when, and then I will start a new thread with some details.

[jeephog]

That sounds great. Looking forward to it. I'm open to either trip.

[stomperxj]

I've got a 98 SE... getting ready to order a whole truckload of parts for it.

I will be up in Murphy/Tellico with my XJ renting a cabin for a week the 3rd week in June. Let me know if anyone wants to do some trails. I was just up there the first weekend in May and the only trails that are closed are the extreme ones (#9, Lower 2)

Later,
Jay

[xjjeepthing]

Got a 00 with a little over 2" lift, rubi 31's, and a tracloc in the rear. Most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. Its amazing the places you can go an explorer when you have a 4x4. I'm excited about going to moab this year!:jump:

[gabe]

New here also was a rock crawler but since paragon closed down it's a 4 hour trip to any legal wheeling here in NY, so now I'm going to build my rig more for camping. I've got 98 with about 5" lift with 34's(lots of trimming) 4:56 tru-trac's front and rear.
