Need some opinions.
I have a 200 xj with 3.5" lift, 265\75\16 tires and a stock dane 35 lowpinion rearend. I am thinking about putting an E-Locker on the rear, and I am not sure if I am going to keep the stock rear end. The wife and I will more than likly only do light to moderate trails, and for sure no severe rock crawling, so I am not sure if I need the E-Locker and if it is a good idea if I should change the rear end to something else before installing the locker. As you probably can tell we are really new to the 4 wheeling scene so any advice anyone has would be greeatly appriciated.

I'm assuming it's 4WD. I believe you'll be just fine w/out a locker. Watch some youtube vids. A stock XJ is a surprisingly capable vehicle for the use you've described. Enjoy!

My advice to you is this:
Take your rig out wheeling and see what it can do. Even in stock form, these things are absolutely amazing. Don't try to be a hero, just do what you think you and your XJ can manage. Go from there.
Funny thing about these rides, though...they have a way of getting in your blood, and next thing you know, you're eating top ramen and tuna fish saving for your next big upgrade...ask me how I know, LOL....
Keep us posted on what you decide to do! We are here to help...

For sure!
Just a few more things to get until my next big upgrade...one of them is a $500 beater car for while my XJ is down revamping the suspension, steering, and plating the uniframe...so looks like some Maruchan and Chicken of the Sea for a bit, LOL
