My buddy and I are looking to hit the trail next Friday and I'm wondering what's a nice trail? Not looking for extreme crawling but something moderate. I was thinking table Mesa rd or maybe castle hot springs. Anyone ever wheel vulture mine rd in wickenburg?

Hey guys! I am rebuilding a 92 XJ. I am keeping the original engine but putting on a re-manufactured transmission. It's totally stock at the moment but I am looking for advice on lift kits, tires, front bumpers w/ a winch, rear bumpers w/ tire racks, and roof racks. Also, looking to put a slip yoke eliminator on transfer case.

Any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Depends, what do you want to do with your rig? Rock crawling, simple trail running? Is it a daily driver(DD), or a weekend toy? Lots of options for XJ's. If you're going to do/buy something, do it right and spend the money the first time. If you can't afford it at the moment, wait till you can!

Also, what part of AZ are you in? Welcome to the forum.

No snow. Today is the first cold day we've really had and it isn't that bad. Mostly windy.

I work in the propane business and we're slow.

All I use any more is the factory one. 83501426. I went through 4 Stant Super Stats between 3 Jeeps and have sworn off them. With a good cooling system, especially with a new radiator, the stock 195* will work fine.

Dealer. They have a little "jiggle valve" in them like no other. Warms up fast and temp stays stable.
