He has late 90s 5.9 V8 extended cab 4wd on 30 inch Falken Wild Peak A/T's(the exact size and tire I want).... I have 31 inch Super Swampers. I know he weighs more but I have larger tires. So who do you think can make it farthest?
Not sure, lockers would go a long way in that. I would say you. Unlike my buddy here that got himself buried up this morning. Talk about a long day on the side of a really big hill, the only place that is flat and has run off. Like a giant marsh.

I would like to believe the XJ would go further than a comparable Ram.. yours is smaller and weighs less than he does, which should help work for you. Definitely only one way to find out though!

I thought lighter weight was bad in mud ? Wouldn't that mean it would be more slowed down by mud because it has less momentum?
I'll post pics too

between the weight and tires, a)you weigh less, which means youll sink less, and b)you have 31" super swampers. he has A/T's. so as long as your swampers arent bald, youve got the advantage tire wise too.
