Hey there. Im a NJ resident half the year but the other half in at college in Northfield(by Montpilier). Got a 2001 XJ with 3" lift sliders front bumper and some other goodies. Always looking to hit trails and know some around me. Would like to meet up with some of you any weekend. and of course and obligatory photo from yesturdays wheeling

 

Hi, Jeff here... I have a '99 XJ. i picked it up as a winter car, but would like to fix her up for some trails. It's all stock right now, and getting some items fixed (front U-joints, brakes and rockers). Thanks for any help/tips I'll get in the future!

 

welcome to the forum jeff i think you will find if u got a ? about ur rig it all can be answered right here. there is also lots of tips tricks and write up on how to do just about anything u can think of

 

Thanks... I just got her back. New rockers/brakes/u joints and front wheel bearings. I replaced the headlights,oil, wipers and cleaned it up. So it's looking like a decent ride, and should give me some good times!

Next will be the suspension (tired springs), and an O2 sensor to (hopefully) turn off the check engine light

 

im in for some trail rides. My buddy has a little mud pit that was fun but im built more for trails than mud. in in poultney at Green mountain College

 

I lived just outside of essex junction 30 years ago when I was attending college

 

Sounds like I may hafta head on up soon and check some of this stuff out! I've been to the ascutney ski resort before so I have a general idea of the area... Ill pm ya one if these days and maybe we can figure somethin out!

 

maybe we could all set a date for some good trial riding. Im sure be willing to go any weekend

 

N. Western Vt. here, I'm fixing up my 2000 Xj as we speak. I plan on doing a 3.5 in RE lift then work from there. I would like to get together with some other Jeep Cherokee owners and see what mods you have done.

Thanks, Kevin

 

Bump for the vt thread!

 

Here's mine..




I think one of my oldest pics.




A couple years ago, before the craigers, flares and a lil extra lift




Last summer.. Actually the last wheeling trip it did.

Dunno why I quoted myself :/

 

Anybody planning any trail rides soon?

 

Not me man.. Can barely afford to keep it on the pavement these days.. But some winter wheeling would be dope. Post up if there's interest!
