Over heating
I've got a 99 xj that overheats when I take it out.
What can I do to cool this thing, I go out with Toyotas and chev thru the same mid holes and they don't overheat?

is the radiator getting covered in mud? just gettin it dirty wont do much, but really caking it in mud will make it overheat.
change the thermostat & check for improvement.

It was dirty but no not caked at all, a buddy drives a 06 tj and his overheats every time we go out I thought it might be a jeep thing this being my first jeep.

Usually lack of cooling system maintenance is what causes overheating on most any 13+ year old vehicle. Neglected 'Yotas and Chevys overheat as well.....don't blame the poor ol' mud hole, blame the previous/current owner.

So what do you mean overheating, Gage or is it spewing fluid.
Start with how your fluid looks, see if you thermastat is opening ay 195 deg
It is a hot system and should be at 210 to 220, Mine has issues with temp sencer and its conection all the time. Good luck
