All the power to you, but I will not buy a 2wd vehicle. They are the worst on unplowed roads and driveways...

That is nice. I see nothing wrong with doing what you want with what you have. Are there any more of these lurking.

I have seen one drivin around my town, I personally won't own a 2 wheel drive suv, jeep or truck but I still think the 2 wheel drive jeep is cool cause it's uncommon. I do like to find uncommon jeeps like the other day I saw a right hand driver 2010 jeep wrangler jk.

To each his own, this topic is clearly not for you. I live in North Carolina where we may get a half-inch of snow each year if we're lucky. I have no desire to run my only transportation through 4ft mudholes either. You must not realize that 2WD XJs are still very capable on trails.

On topic: My XJ will be lifted come sunday. 3" RC and 31x10.50

I wouldn't buy a 2wd myself but they still look good and if you like it that's all that matters.

prerunner trucks are normally 2wd, and they are badass. But they're desert trucks.

Mines 2wd. I'd prefer 4wd. But my mom bought it lol. I'm getting a 3 inch lift before end of summer. And people don't only lift vehicles for off road some like the look.

Around my parts most mail vehicles are Jeeps. All RHD of course.
My town was a Jeep Tj
Is now a new unlimited wrangler
Two towns over is a pre 96 cherokee
One town over is gen 1 kj
Found a mail cherokee at the place where my geo sat when it was totaled... it had leather seats with rear seat headrests, tow hooks, engine skid plate, and gas skid plate. All on a mail car.

To op... your xj can probably go farther than mine at this point.. so all the power to you. lock it in the rear, and youll have the same min number of wheels spinning as a 4wd.
