My Jeep just needs a bit more clearance. That's been my only problem off-road. The ------- thing is a billy-goat, but with short legs. :P

It was more of a project than I really wanted at the time. It was sitting with expired tags and when the apartment managers wanted to tow it I just let them have it. I only paid 300 bucks for it anyways

I retail just about anything off-road related, start with a basic light lift. 3-4.5 inches. All you'll really need is a set of coils, longer lower control arms, sway bar links, and I'd recommend some RE track bars, then shocks of your choice.

How serious are you gonna get with it off road? I know a guy with an XJ that has a basic pro comp 2" kit that he tweaked all out. He hacked the ---- out of his fenders, and is running 35s. And god damn I never knew an XJ could flex like that. I like it because it's nice and low so therefore more stabil, but has way more than enough ground clearance for about 98% of the ---- we play in. Id suggest something like a 4" with some 33's, and lockers or lsds, and that thing should take you most places you want.

Fook no power, in comparison to all my other V8 CJ's. ;)

drive a 2.5 LO once...then your 4.0 will seem powerful.

seriously tho, it'd feel 1000 times stronger with gears, toss some 4.10's under it.

It only goes back and forth to pick my son up from daycare. I want to get into a 4 wheel club around here and then I will do some more mods. I have only put 6k on it since I got it.

35s with 4.56s in a 5 speed Jeep is perfet IMO.
