Just found this forum, and already found it extremely helpful troubleshooting a temp issue on my '92 4-door XJ Sport
I'm 18, so clearly i'v just gotten into modifying my truck and taking care of it without my parents money, so i'v been doing way more DIY repairs.

Anyways, about my truck;
1992 XJ Sport, 4.0HO I6 engine; 3-inch lift + 15-inch tires Not much but it's a start. I'v been wanting to get a brush guard on the front for looks.

Already got it stuck once, in a spot it should have never been in haha. Rooky error,
should checked the depth



Took a 2000 Dodge Durango, 2001 Ford Ranger, and a late 90's Chevy Silverado 2500 all in 4 wheel to pull me out because they had to pull me sideways due to the fence. Got high centered when the front bumper hit the hill, although i didn't think to try and go sideways, since that ditch levels out after about 20 feet.

Heh, but that XJ's been a tank, more or less. First owner, who was in ignorant NYC Teenage girl, never changed the oil the first 3 years she had it so the engine runs really rough and is really low on power. Second owner took really good care of it though, he even kept every receipt for everything he did to it. He even put the lift on it, since he lived on a mile long dirt road up in the Rockys. Sadly, he tried to get it repainted at Macco and it got screwed up, fools forgot to but hardener in the paint. And they fixed it by throwing the whole truck in an oven, so you can Imagen what happened to all the grease. Too bad the paint was already bubbling and the front decal fell off.

Also i tore the exhaust off behind the catbut she sounds nice now, lol.

Haha, i was 16 and just got back from Utah with my dad in his 2001 Ford Ranger Edge, i though i knew what i was doing...

I just go through muddy lots now, there's a huge lot next to my school that likes to flood, and the cops don't seem to mind as long as i keep the revs down, since i have no muffler. I live in the farmland, so no trails without driving 30+ miles.
