Do you hear banjos?
Ok, I'll bite....what else have you done, other than the paint?? I only ask, because trails don't care what color your rig is...IMHO, you should have pulled off the molding on the DS door, so it matches the rear one, but that's just me.

u need to take the rear sway bar off. make some front sway disco's. and cut the bumpers for more clearance. then you will be more than ready for the trails in a stock or close to stock xj.

Before hitting the trails you might want to think about getting some tow hooks for when you get stuck. It happens to everyone, and the last thing that you want is to get stranded because you dont have anyway to hook up to the tow vehicle.

x2 Lose those flairs and cut the fenders, 2" BB and 31's and you're good to go. And like jmm0122 said tow points are a must have.

I like the new look... looks mean.
yep, tow hooks (a stock t-case and gas tank skid would be recommended) and your A/T's mounted up and you are in for some fun wheeling.
