What would you upgrade?
So I have been doing some serious mudding with my XJ, have gotten a LOT of mud in the engine bay(no issues for now), and was wondering what would you guys upgrade on an XJ like mine.
95 XJ 4.0L HO Open Dana 30 / Chrysler 8.25 (I belive 27 spline since its a 95 xj) 4.56 gears 35s Maxxis Big Horn No SYE RC 6.5 inch short arms lift Trans cooler, 3 row radiator, silicone water hoses, ZJ fan clutch Durango steering box and WJ steering pump CavFab high clearance crossover steering https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...2b560fb745.jpg My plan is doing mud mainly and little to no rocks crawling, as well as DD. |
Maybe a snorkle.(I cant tell if it has one or not)
Maybe some skid plates to help slide through the mud better? Looks like a pretty capable rig. Ask yourself what you dont like about it or what are its shortcomings? |
It does have a snorkle. I was thinking about a SYE but do not know if it would be necessary as i have not had any vibration problems while I drive above 70mph. What do you think?
Skid plates sounds interesting, actually I never thought of that, did not even know they make those for XJs. |
Needs a winch.

Lockers in both axles.

Being my DD, i mean is the only car I have, what would you recommend selectable lockers or would auto lockers work just fine?

Auto lockers aren't going to hurt anything, just adjust your driving style to match. Only bad case is packed snow/ice for an auto locker in the front (from what I've read)

I'd get rid of the short arms ASAP and drop the suspension down an inch and a half or so

How about uniframe stiffner? Do you think thatd be an overkill for a rig that most probably wont see any rocks?
Any kind of strength you can add to the XJ over time will help. |
