Ahhh mud, the life blood of a Jeep.
On my last trip to Alturas, I found a huge mudhole completely engulfing the dirt road I was traversing that day. I was in 4WD hi when I hit the mudhole doing maybe 25mph. It was the wifes 1st time in the mud ever. We got to the middle of this mini lake and the Jeep stopped moving forward. I said, "Uh-oh" and the look on the spouses face was priceless. I slipped it into 4WD Lo, backed up about 3 feet, then slowly crawled forward out of danger! What a blast. I was hooked, from that moment on!

Update.....for those who don't read all the posts
The general club is about 'Stock As A Rock', but not necessarily 'Bone Stock' We have another discussion area within the club for those who might fall in that category, please at least make yourself known over there if indeed you are BONE STOCK.
Stock for the purpose of this group means NO permanant mods of any kind. No lifts (Except OE Up Country), No aftermarket bumpers or racks. No Light racks on top. Aftermarket wheels and tires don't count as mods to me.
The general club allows for 'Upgrades' to all available stock and dealer options. It also allows for 'upgrades' to: OE Up Country lifts, Radiators, Fuel injectors, and exhaust systems as long as you still pass SMOG where applicable.
You can have any 'accessories' as well. Non-permanamt roof racks. Stereos, Cbs, antenni, Custom wheels and tires, tinted windows, Front Fog Lights,
If you temporarily run doorless, but don't plan on doing that permanantly, that's cool too.
Welcome one and all, STOCK JEEP owners

Huh. Small world indeed.
Pic 1 is the Super Moon on May 5th from my property
Pic 2 is the campsite that night there
Pic 3 is the view from my property taken from the highest point, and overlooking the land

Ok sorry for my ignorance guys but will a set of up country front and rear springs from a '93 XJ fit my 2000?
I think I found a set on CL, they could be from either a '93 or '98. Waiting to hear back from the seller.
What is a decent price for them?

It seems apparent that there is an issue with tail lift struts,never had this problem I press the button and liftgate raises itself.
And stays up no problem.surely fitting new dampers is easier than wedging with broom handles etc.
