I'd say closer to 1% or less of XJs see dirt. I see too many immaculate Cherokees being driven by older people who just wanted a cheap SUV.

Which kind of wheeling are we talking about here? Because theres so many different kinds of wheeling. I do snow wheeling, and next year I got a mud hole to play in. But wisconsin doesnt have any trails to go wheeling on. SO from that would you say I dont wheel?

Just wondering not trying to be an @S%

How many members do we have compared to the millions of XJs sold×multiple owners? I am stock and I wheel, but most XJs by number are grocery getters. That's what I was saying.

OR Soccermom 'utes

I think because they are so cheap people just get them and drive the crap out of them.

I would also say that at least 50% of the ones I see are 2WD

Yeah, so far I've only changed tires so i just did it on the jack. I'm planning on installing a bastard pack in the near future, and I'll need the stands for the front even *if* I wasn't worried about laying under it.

Also, she was thirsty (1/4 tank). I pulled out of a parking lot onto a busy road (and I mean peeled out to get in the small gap between cars) and she quit on me halfway through the turn...damn physics. She got filled up to the tune of $44. Expensive day.

Bastard pack: I'm taking the parts from a different model (in my case, a Dodge Dakota rear and ZJ coils) and using them on the Jeep. Not XJ springs=bastard pack. The term is also used when people combine two XJ packs, but that isn't where it came from.
