2wd xj's...better gas mileage than 4wd brothers...

 

Ya, im about to lift mine 5 inches and lock it, 5 inches just because i got a budget bost for real cheep to put on the 3 inch full packs im getting.

 

yeah my 2wd does well on the trails but certain rocks that require that vertical climb seem to cause problems

 

haha pretty much...

X2. a locker will get you extremely far...i have a LSD its gotten me into and out of some hairy places. A locker would get me into thicker trouble

Plus i have a good friend who used to do rock crawling for years, and his rig is built... and his experience is if you have a locker in tha back you can go extremely far. we went to a fairly difficult trail that requires 4x4 on most rigs and he just putted along in 2wd.

Dont underestimate 2wd's haha This really makes me want to put a locker in the rear...

My 1st one years ago was an '85 2wd 4dr. I was amazed at what it would go thru or over.
I definitely like my 4wd better though.

 

Alot of buggies are 2wd, and get through some ****.

 

i bought my 2wd cause i couldnt pass it up: 98 xj limited with 125,xxx on the engine, not a spec of rust, black with grey leather with the woodgrain. for $1600 cant go wrong with that

making my conversion within the next couple of months

 

the conversion isnt hard. Just waiting for DOLLAR DAYS! at the the jy should be fun

 

My jeep is 2wd, And there is one big advantage to having a 2wd....insurance costs. Insurance on a 4wd jeep is double what it is on a 2wd. Perfect reason to keep a 2wd jeep as your DD.

And yes....my lift does make my jeep look cool

 

i pay 40 a month for my 4wd...

 

never been able to find insurance that cheap for me, but of course i am 17.

 

My newest XJ, is a Red 99 4.0 liter Auto 2 wheel drive. It hauls a$$! Ive got a 96 4.0 Liter 5 speed manual that is almost as fast, but not quite cause of the Extra rotating front drive shaft, transfer case, and front diff. The two wheel drive XJs do get better gas mileage I think, Obviously because of less parasitic drivetrain loss, and I think more of their HP/Torque gets to the rear wheels. They do look weird though without a front pumpkin, no 4x4 shift lever, and extended transmission tailshaft housing instead of transfer case.

 

im 18. it was the same when i was 17.

 

thats not true at all.
