Skreed you said your stock Xterra made it through. You think a stock 96 XJ could handle the green (or whatever's easiest) trails?
As far as tow points here is what I have to say. I've been to Raush 5 times never once did I have someone check my truck. I think they say one tow point is manatory but is someone gonna enforce that? I dunno. But in my opinion your gonna want to have at least one preferably in the front.

Yeah I am either doing a hitch with a hook (most likely) or trying to fab something up front outta some plate. I'm just concerned about breaking something or noticeable body damage as it's my DD and only means of transport and legally it isn't mine. (Long story) You think I'll have a problem with open diffs?

Open diffs....I have no lockers. They certainly help, but not everyone is fortunate enough to have them. I plan on getting them in the future, but I don't have the cash right now. I did have a locker on my Xterra but I would have made it without on most green trails.

I've been itching to go out there since I brought my XJ back from the dead in december but have been scared to break something. Now I actually think I could do it. Thanks for the confidence boost
