Hello From Westmoreland County, PA.
I got my XJ in 2017 as a replacement for my previous Daily Driver.
My XJ is stock. It does fine in ~2 feet of snow in the mountain trails with stock everything.
Here is a recounting of a local towing and trail trip we did back in 2020:

We went for a family camping weekend with some friends. We are quite lucky to have at least 4 campgrounds in a 20-mile radius from the house.

We tried a new campground that we had never been to before... as it was so close I decided to tow out the small camper with my 96 Jeep Cherokee XJ.
it ran hot when towing with the air on.. but that might be normal on XJs with a stock-type...... non-Mishimoto radiator.

Saturday turned out to be pretty showery and somewhat of a washout.. so the state forest and mountain ridge is only 20 miles from the campground. There are plenty of miles of state forest roads that are not paved with no winter maintenance. They double as snowmobile trails in winter. We decided to do some trail driving before dinner. The last trail that we took out of the forest back to the highway has about a 1000' elevation change. There were no awesome scenic views but it was fun.

Hi, I'm Jake. I live in Yarmouth, Maine. Just bought my first car. 1989 Cherokee Laredo 2dr 5-speed.

Here is another account with my XJ from a few years back when we had a snow day:
After our screen time requirements were done we packed up and headed for the elevation.

More XJ Fun on the trails - but in the winter these trails double as snowmobile trails so no salt, no gratuitous plowing, just winter bliss!
Here are some of the highlights..


It's fun driving these trails when a snow machine or dog sled team or cross country skier is in the other lane as oncoming traffic... I Wave the snow machines past when they were behind me.

We didn't even get that much snow - but up in the elevation they get more snow and of course it stays around longer.





A favorite spot to watch the sunrise looking east over the mountain ridges. Calm as can be with the downy white.



The Little one was in tow - she had a blast too.

Late response.
 

Still learning the site but have searched for info over the years.
