I would agree. A lot of people bashing others cuz the newbies didnt read the XJ Dictionary.

Meh, you can weed through the BS. I do.

There is a great part to the site called the ignore list. You can set it up so that you never have to see posts from people who post nothing but garbage.

There is always facebook too. Lots of XJ and Jeep groups there. Forum overall are dying off. The auto forums will probably be one of the last of the forums to go in a few years.

It's called a "d35", 35" is the minimum requirement tire size for that axle. That's why guys break them with 33"

I, personally, get tired of seeing people whine about every damn thing.
