What kind of setup does your rig have? Might be up for an easy tahuya run. It's easy to find, and won't beat up your rig. Hit me up...

If you wanted to wheel your rig and guarantee drive it for the rest of your stay here and be able to bring it home, tahuya is a good place to start. Let me know. Any stock xj can make it through and still have fun

I'm not afraid to wheel it. I've run some pretty nasty trails back home and kept up with a TJ on 35's for the most part (his lockers were the only thing I couldn't keep up with).. I just kinda want to get some more armor on it before I do anything too nasty again. That tahuya trail sounds good for now.. Will I need one of those discover passes?

Yep, but the difference between the old winch and the new winch is that they are made WAY better and Smittybilt has a much better warranty and replacement parts available for the new winch. Alex, you should hit them up. They might replace the solenoid for free under warranty. Besides you don't need your winch for Walker if you have a few good wheeling buddies with you. Walker will be happening in my future just not sure when. The summer weekends are looking pretty busy, so far.

Technically yes, BUT unless your tires stick waaay out they dont seem to mess with people about it. Ive run flareless for 5 years and never had an issue (knocking on wood).
