It has tiny tires on it right now. 205/75r15 Waiting for some money to free up so I can at least go with some 235's. I've already had to replace the exhaust manifold, u-joints, LF hub assy, radiator, do a tune up, and two of the three motor mounts. I've already put in a mini-roof basket and some PIAA lights(no pics yet). Also ordered a 40" LED light bar for the top.
Nice xj! When your ready for some 235's let me know I got a set with great tread mounted on some factory 5.9 ZJ wheels

trying to have fun. small tires=low ground clearance, so I can get to adventurous. Although I am going to Moab this weekend with the fam. I'll see how she does on some slick rock, but it's mostly a camping weekend for us.

On them. Just sitting on wood blocks in my garage

So I'll be heading down to Moab this mother's day. This will be my first time solo doing trails, but being that my Jeep is near stock with not so big tires. I was thinking about doing Fin's and Things, and staying around the Sand Flats area. Wondering how difficult all those should be. I do not want to try hell's revenge on my own. I will not have a spotter, just my wife and kids. Any advise would be really appreciated.
