Sounds simple enough. But its not.

I would think that depends on whats been done because "well modified" can mean different things to different people. Would it not? Are we talking well modified XJ vs a stock Bronco, or modified Bronco? Would that even matter? And what kind of off-roading, exactly? That can mean different things to different people as well. Off-roading to some means dirt trails and crossing streams that maybe nothing more than ankle deep. For others it means rock crawling, crossing streams with water pouring into the footwells, or trails that would swallow whatever it was they were driving.

With ANY vehicle you choose, it all comeds down to "How deep are your pockets?" or "How big is you bank account balance?" With enough time and money, you can build whatever you want to be better. Hell, I could design and fabricate a solid axle swap for my XK Commander and be better then most if I wanted to. BUT....money doesnt always mean the best or better, sometimes knowledge and skill plays a big factor. My stock height AWD XK did better then 60% of the new JT's on this years "obstacle course". (They got beat by a "station wagon". ) Just build whatever YOU want and enjoy it.

 

Well I have both, a ‘95 XJ 2dr 88K miles that’s mostly stock, and a ‘22 Bronco. I don’t compare the two nor would I give up either one.

 

there was hardly anything left on those KOH Broncos that was still factory . Heck they even ran portals ! But to everyone else’s discussion ….. you’d have to be pretty blind to compare the two ….. the XJ is utilitarian and rough and tough and simply works , it is an endless platform . The bronco has a lot of technology and is new …. But If you’ve been in any new vehicle of any brand I highly doubt it last a smidge as long or puts up to nearly as hard of a beating for half as long as any given XJ. They’re cool but for the 20-30k they’re bringing over MSRP they can keep them .
