| Yes, I have financial approval from 'purchasing and accounting' to lift the Jeep! COWABUNGA! I'm putting a 3.5" lift with the new Goodyear MTR's I just put on and if I have enough left over before Jeep Safari, Im putting a rear locker on as well. I'll post pics as soon as it's done :2thumbs: |

That's just awesome. I see alot of XJ's around and they do a pretty darn good job on the rocks.

I have a 2000 XJ with a simular setup to what you are talking about. I does awsome in Moab. I have done most of the trails listed on the EJS.
Here is how mine is set up:
Rusty's Air intake with K&N filter
3" Skyjacker Lift
285 (32.5") Toyo Open Country M/T tires
3.5" cat back with flowmaster muffler
Custom rock sliders
Safari Roof Rack
4:10 Gears
Detroit Locker (rear) |

If you are going to change out the gears, I would go with 4:83 rather than 4:10. You won't be sorry. |

NOw thats a good idea! I'll check into it. I am used to my Dodge being geared so low that it drives itself so anything will help! |
