My '93 is my daily driver, with just over 210,000 miles, and is (mostly) stock. No lift, anyway. The tires and wheels are bigger than what it originally came with, and I do take it off road every now and then (mostly on trails; not anything that really pushes it), but for the most part I do my best to take care of it. The way I look at it is... what's the point of having the thing if you're not going to drive it.

Bought a second XJ which means we DD both of them!
Both are stock and since lifts cost too much, they'll stay that way for a while.
The 1990 will be my hunting/fishing rig and the 1997 for a nice ride.
Love em both!

I daily drive in a 2001 cherokee, no lift, 207000 miles, recently rebuilt engine, and put $1000 into fixing the ac last summer... Other than that, I towed a 5x8 enclosed trailer with it 100 miles a day for maintenence work for the last two years....

I DD my 89 with 4.5" lift and 32s Honestly yes lift is important to me, a stock height cherokee would not do me much good. I live in no-mans land here in the appalachian mountains and routinely climb over fallen trees, wade flooded roads etc just to get to work. If I wanted a station wagon I'd have bought one instead.

did you DD your xj ? why?
my jeep is a dd, it averages 20 miles each way when im working, it also regularly makes 600 mile trips. I also take it car camping and sleep inside it. Why? because i can only afford one vehicle, im 21 and one is expensive enough.
is it lifted but DD?
it has a 2in bb, im hoping to move up to a 3-3.5in lift
you prefer to buy stock or lift XJ?
i prefer to buy the cleanest, nicest vehicle i can afford; lifted or not.
is lifting the jeep that important to you?
i feel safer when its up a bit from stock, plus its easier to get into.
here is a picture of it in the middle of repainting the bumper-
i used to dd that suburban but sold it back to my father.
