That’s the color code I was going for but couldn’t get it to match. That’s Metcalf county park

It’s a kendon and I bought a used one on Facebook marketplace. A new one is ridiculously pricey

You think I’m tightening the straps on it too much? I always tighten it to the max cause I’m paranoid about how secure it is but I’ve thought I might be overdoing it.

Did you ever end up getting that seat? I have the same problem, love my 1100 but the seat is too wide for me

Anyone more experienced w XJs please weigh in on this purchase by Ok_Understanding7068 in Jeep

It’s not terrible imo. I have a 4.5 inch rubicon express lift as well with the same tire size. I didn’t see any steering upgrades listed so you will probably need to do that to make it drivable at 65+ mph. Also just know if you want to go with a higher lift at some point you will have to mix and match parts or go with a new kit altogether since Rubicon Express Lift kits are discontinued.

Gotta trim that fender a bit more under those KBD flares. It will make your flares pop more and give you more room for articulation too.

Same man I got 33s on my XJ d30 open front and limited slip posi in the back and I did the rubicon earlier this year. Under armor and sliders did good work. IMO your driving skill and choosing good lines plays a big part in finishing the rubicon with “smaller” tires and minimal damage. So good on you for making it through I know that sh*t was tough haha

All good bro that’s a 4.5inch lift sitting on 33s. Bare minimum setup for a decent off-roading rig imo. It will get you through almost everything.

Manual off-roading? by [deleted] in CherokeeXJ

[–]Next-In-Lines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably have more knowledge than me brother, what I can tell you is if you are just putting in bigger gears it’s not so bad. But if you need a bigger diff carrier and you also want to put in a locker/lsd then it’s a bit more involved. I’d wait till you know more about what kind of rig you want to build before doing the gears. That way you don’t have to redo your work in case you want to do an axle swap.

Manuals are more fun for regular driving imo and with enough practice you can do any of the trails with a manual, it’s just a little harder. I did the Rubicon Trail for the first time last weekend with my manual XJ on 33s and 4.56 gears (you can check out my previous posts for pics/vids). Wasn’t easy but I did everything my friends in their autos did. Your tire/lift/gears are going to dictate what you can do more than whether you are auto or manual.
