Lol...And if you really want a performance clutch on an XJ your best bet is a CenterForce Clutch.

If you actually wheel your rig nothing will work better than an OEM replacement.
Stock clutch is designed be be uber moduable, yet hook up hard at low rpm.
Centerforce(and some other "performance" clutches) has weights, the clutch needs to be at rpm to apply full clamping force... I don't want to have the clutch slipping at 600rpm climbing around, or, need 3500rpm to hook up and crawl along.
I have 300,000 miles on my rig, running 33's, and with a stock clutch can chirp the tires going into 2nd, 3rd and 4th when acting like Burt Renoylds... how much more clamping force do you think you need?
