My XJ is my winter ride. I could also put some 31's? on some 15x7 rims, but would that be a little too narrow?

I'm looking to go 'roading like where Jucin was going a few years back, looked like fun but not crazy.

Sounds like I put on some front and rear tow hooks too.

I have a trailer too so I could use it, but what fun is that.

I had an XJ that I off-roaded/DD for a few years. I put a 3" Rough Country lift on it. 3'' is just enough to clear 31 inch tires. Cherokees are great offroad. They have perfect trail dimensions, and weigh a hell of a lot less than a Wrangler.

God I miss that little bastard. I had that thing on 2 wheels so many times..."If I roll this thing I have no idea how I'll get to school/work on Monday" I never broke a damn thing wheeling and I put her through hell. Here a few SHITTY pics for inspiration.

I have a 1979 CJ-7 that my friends refer to as "The Pile of Parts". I really need to get it back on the road.

I used to be into it, but that was way back. Here is a Jeep Comanche back in 1997 that I built up, I will have to find some pics of it in the mud and scan them in. Sorry for the shitty scanned pics, I didn't have a digicam back then.
