thanks
wisdom of the experienced is really useful
as for the mudding part
was meaning to do more muddy trails then rocky ones
but now I will change my aim, I don't want to destroy it, was thinking rock crawling was more damageable for the rig, and now I know its the opposite
for the LTB, I had a doubt they were not very durable, just needed confirmation
what brand of tires would you recommend then?
I like aggressive thread but the more aggressive they are, the faster they wear out and are noisy
what would be a good compromise between aggressiveness and durability?

regarding the tires. BFG allterrain will fit your needs. your rig will see the road 99 percent of the time so why buy an aggressive tire that will wear so much quicker

it won't be 99% on road, I have a car for the road
when I say I don't want to destroy it, it means I don't intend to put it in trails that have a very high level of difficulties, maybe do 6 or 7 out of 10 grade trail (figure of speach)
I want it to be usable on road but capable in trails, it will be more like a 50/50 thing
by what was said earlier, mud trails were more armful to a rig then rocky trails
if that assomption is also wrong then what is it???

you need to hook up with a 4x4 club in your area. ride shotgun and see if you really want to spend the $$ it takes. do lots and lots of research.

duly noted
I am doing research,
my xj project will be completed (or mostly, we always want to change something) within a year or two, I don't plan to hit the trail blindfolded
and I know there will be cost to pay doing this sport, I intend to reduce that said cost by building up a good rig that wont break on the first bump
my subscription to this forum is one great help to amass a maximum of info, not the only one but the best source so far, need all I can get
thanks all, will roam around for quite a while and will post build up updates as they come

tires, look at bfg km2 or the new MTR kevlar. Mud trails vs rock trails........ Mud sucks to clean out. wears out ujoints, TRE, and diffs. rock trails ruin ujoints, TRE, diffs. They both tear up suspensions and axles. You will spend alot of $$ in this sport.
you need to hook up with a 4x4 club in your area. ride shotgun and see if you really want to spend the $$ it takes. do lots and lots of research.

Also check out these tires,
I have 25K on a set and expect 40K Mostly street but the few times I've took them in the mud/rocks trails I have been impressed

If you plan on taking it off road, you should expect to break stuff. Not saying you will every time, but you should be prepared to. As for tires, I just got my XJ and it has a 3" lift and had 35x12.50x15's on it.....yes the fenders are cut and the 35's tread got eat up and cut by the fenders when flexing. I just bought a set of BFG A/T 33's and they fit awesome, not to mention the mileage they'll get. If you really want a decent off road tire I'd say look at the Pro Comp Xterrain's (what was on mine). Another issue to think about is rubbing on the sway bar when making turns with a 13.50, heck my 12.50's need spacers now.
