Default Well guys, where do I start?
I finally got my XJ paid off, so now the fun can begin. It's bone stock and good maintenance wise, so give me some ideas of what to do to it first.

Damn, I have to completely agree here.

Sliders probably was the best thing I did to my xj for off road capabilities(not scared any more and able to use the rockers to get around large obstacles)

I agree as well. Keep your COG low and armor up. I honestly wish mine was an inch or two lower sometimes. Also to add to the list: a hi lift jack and recovery gear.
