Its amaizing how my contour handled better in the snow then my mom's Grand prix, that was with my 14 inch Hankook tires. Im interested to see how the BFG's perform. 98 Corolla LE 1.8L DOHC 1ZZFE TEIN H.Tech Springs Tokico HP series Struts Short ram air intake Tsudo Axel Back Exhaust ... if a jelly fish stung me.. would you pee on the wound?

Aftermarket wheels with an offset to get them to stick out a bit to widen your stance would help out too, the XJ's are a bit top heavy. May want to look into a slip yoke conversion to help out driveline angles. Sway bar disconnects help off road since you have a solid front axel. There is a ton of stuff you can do, it's just a matter of what you plan on using that nice XJ for Next to YJ & TJ's, the XJ's have one of the largest aftermarkets 2005 Ford F150 SuperCab FX4 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS 1998 CSVT: 354HP/328TQ @ 10 psi, now gone

Dad bought a Chief Cherokee 2 door back when they first came out. Still drives it today. Sadly it's the crummy V6 with the corn cans under the hood. I always tell himhe should put in a 4.0L. He insists the 350 from his old truck will do just fine as a replacement if the Jeep doesn't rust apart first Have fun with it, they are pretty much unstuckable off road, just as long as you use your head 2003 Ford Focus ZX3 "Tarmac" http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2352003
