Oh I forgot to mention that my axles are all stock 3.55 gears and no lockers. Again, it takes negotiating but I've never had to use the winch to pull myself out.
Excellent! That's exactly the kind of review I'm looking for! Thanks a lot.

So last weekend I had a little incident with the XJ. Tried to go through a hole that was a little too deep. I flooded the cab and sucked water into the intake. Ended up having to pull the plugs to get the water out of the cylinders! Still runs like a champ tho!!!

So yesterday I decided to pull the carpet out to start preparing for rhino liner. Driver side was good but the passenger side had a little rust. Should be able to grind it out.

YES! If it rains too hard it runs like crap! O'Reilly sells a water proofing spray that fixed my distributor tho. No problems since!
