Hello from SoCal. I am new to this forum in fact I am new to Jeep, but not to MOPAR. I own and maintain older muscle cars. Just bought a XJ this weekend spent all day Saturday cleaning it and making a list of repairs (adjustments) to put it the way I would like it.


I look forward to picking your brains for ideas and input. This seemed to be an informative site. The avatar photo is what we have. I was told it had a 2 1/2 inch lift, it appears to be higher. Correct me if I am wrong. It will be used for trails and local dirt roads in the San Bernardino County upper desert area. Nothing to crazy.

Welcome to the forum!

Lots of good info here and yrs. of knowledge to tap into with helpful people and the search function works well for you.

I'm an old racer myself starting with SBC's then in 1966 bought my first new car a Dodge Cornett Hemi that I raced in A/sa for several yrs.

Gotta love the Mopars. I have a 1967 Dart GT in the garage original black plated CA car. Not many Mopar fans on the west coast. When I take it out a lot of people do not know what it is.


After moving to the high desert in CA and realizing the amount of dirt road and trails that are here I had to have a vehicle to explore with and I could not think of a better vehicle than a XJ.


We have only had it 4 days and my list is growing, Starting off with front suspension, first thing is track bar it had some play in it.
