Mine pulls easily. You need to check the mechanism under the hood on each end. If you're having to strain pulling it theres something wrong with it.

Lame question, for you guys that camp with your XJ's and kids
What do you bring as far as supplies? Food, tents, stuff to keep the kids occupied?
I haven't been camping since I was a kid and I would like to start taking my kids.

Well, that's off topic lol
Take stuff to keep them occupied? Why bother leaving the house then? 
lol. Beach toys for the lake and sandcastles and a couple books always worked for me.
Everyone cooking their own meals on a fire is great for a family and less BS with one person standing over a stove. Bannock is always fun. Basically pancake batter on a stick. Another breakfast approach reduces cleanup and makes for more tasty: Everyone does their own bacon/pancake/eggs in a pan. Bacon grease is THE BEST grease for a pancake: basically alternate everything you cook with a slice of bacon lol. Plan meals to avoid boiling water - really obvious example being roasting hot dogs. Boiling water takes time, fuel, and you gotta lug a ****load around. You can also do meal packets like some meat, potatoes, and veggies wrapped in a billion layers of aluminum foil and tossed in near the edge of the fire, though you might want to start the meat on the fire first. Not sure if this has a specific name.
Tents - double your requirements. I'm not sure where the hell they come up with this "9 PERSON" rating system - maybe if sardines could be called people...
(No kids yet - but I went camping a lot with family and Scouts, and still do go camping)

I bought mine from him for the XJ. Looked fantastic, and I think I sold it to dukie564 after the rollover.
