He superlift off road park is 2 hours from here, I think ima take my stock xj out their and do some wheeling on their lever 1 trails. Never wheeled it before and plan to lift it soon so I'm thinking this is a chance to see how it does with stock size AT's and then I'll wheel it after it's lifted and marvel at the aftermath. Just have to watch out for rocks and mud, no skids and AT's equil not much off road ability I'm guessing. Who knows, this is the first 4x4 iv had that was not lifted and had large tires on it. Think I'll take a couple buddies to help push if I get stuck lol

best plan to learn! I learned how not to wheel on my bone stock wrangler ... when I got my jeep and lifted and began to build it I was grateful for the knowledge learned on the wrangler. Good luck and post pic's afterward!

Prepare to be amazed as to what even a stock xj can do! Just go slow and pick your line, watching ahead, not just that one obstacle right in front of you.

you will be just fine. I took my ZJ there when it was stock and did a couple of 2's even. In fact my Jeep club will be having our official Fall Run on Saturday if you want to hook up and run around a bit. There's always a stocker group. I think there might be more than one come to think of it. Thre will be a few folks trickling in starting Thursday evening and staying through Sunday morning. I'm sure you can find somebody to run with. Look for MidSouthJeeps stickers, there will be a LOT of them.

Cool beans man, boss told bout 4 am today that I may have to work but if I can I'll be their. Iv wheeled plenty in my broncos and wrangler just never an xj. And none of them were in stock form. I'm parting out a bronco I have and keeping the rear axel and 33" tires, few other doo-dads and after I lift my xj ima make the swap to full width axles. Mainly I'm just looking to see what it can do with no mods, then after I get it lifted and my tires on it I'll take it back out their to give it the once over
