That's a good looking XJ, dude!!! Don't be so afraid of dents. If you dump a ton of cash into a Wrangler or a Cherokee for offroad use and ***** Foot around the trails... Was it really worth the money??? Are you really having any fun??? I'm not saying to be a total Idiot and drive too fast and bounce your jeep off of every tree and rock you come too. I consider myself a technical wheeler for the most part. Sometimes the last resort has to be a little too much skinny pedal. Usually a little common sense and picking the line gets me through or over most everything. The first dent hurts the most.

Well buck I have to say my wrangler was worth the 14000$
But thus Cherokee is going t to be so much more fun. I won't be worried about dents and I can learn the technical side of wheeling.
She needs a few things and I am now on the look out.
I need really bad fender flares ( I hope the cops don't get me )
Rock sliders ( trying to get in touch with the guy in Mt Vernon )
Front and rear bumpers would be nice but not needed.

Let's schedule some walker time. I live in Arlington

We will have to get together for a Walker Run as soon as I bring my Jeep back from the sideline. The Jan 7 Walker Run was not very good for me. I tuffed through most of the trails but what started as a bent LCA mount, became a partially...then totally ripped off the axle LCA mount. I'm currentlt building my version of a Homebrew Super D30. Looking forward to seeing that new XJ of yours up close and in action.

Watching the videos of you towing that stock xj around are hilarious. Way to be a trooper, and showing those newbies what wheelings all about !!!!

Right now I'm looking at either the weekend of April 7-8 or April 21-22. I found out I might be coming home from Vegas sooner than originally planned so I might be able to plan a trip sooner. I will keep you posted.
