Hello from KY.
Recently decided to check out this site. Had a built FJ Cruiser (image that, one that wasn't a grocery getter/mall crawler) for about 4 years but sold it for a more gas friendly Scion xB. About a month ago I picked up an XJ and have been pretty happy with it. Should be a fun project.
2000 XJ classic (8.25 rear, 4.0L, AW4, 4 door)
So far the near future plans are Detours bumpers, swingout and sliders, AFe intake.
Once the Scion is paid off I plan to lock it up, D44's, 4.56 gears, Clayton long-arms, skids, etc... Nothing crazy but something comparable to my FJ.
Here's a shot of my FJ since it's rare to see them away from soccer practice.

I don't think the FJ will compare to the XJ if you do all that to it. Heck it wouldn't even take that much to make it more trail worthy than the FJ.

You will be the ultimate judge since you will own both. Be forewarned one you geaux solid axle there is no going back lol. There is a reason the Wrangler is still built on that platform.

Although I've been surprised with how many Jeeps are now sporting the IFS. Granted Jeep isn't as "Trail Rated" as a whole as they used to be. The JK's are about the only new Jeep I'd want to try on the trail, otherwise they're either all too big or too watered down.
