The XJ is a good platform and the Chrysler 8.25 will serve you fine at the size of tire you are running. Do be aware that the 8.25 got a change in shaft size in mid/late 1996. If you have a pre-'96 you have 27 spline shafts. If you have a post-'96 you have 29 spline shafts. If you have a...

I know nothing about the Forester, but I am guessing it lacks a true transfer case with low range. If that is a correct guess then it is probably not a wise choice for the Schafer trail (I think that is your most likely access down to the White Rim Trail). The issue will be overheating your...

You need to add one more saw to your arsenal: Folding Trail Saw

I love my Suburban. Lower your tire pressure. That is one of the cheapest mods you can make. It is not free however--you need to make sure you have a way to air back up. You will need to invest in a compressor or CO2 system. Don't rule out the Tahoe platform. Unless you need all that...

Family of 5 (we have a dog, but we don't usually take the dog on trips) and a Suburban is a good size for us. I have a Jeep Cherokee (XJ) too. I would much rather take the Cherokee wheeling, but the family would much prefer the space of the Suburban. Pros and cons to everything. Your...

A friend whose father was a grain broker pointed to the telephone and said "That thing will ruin your life." True words. My family knows better than to think they can get ahold of me on a cell phone. No point even trying. My rule is that I have to be able to easily operate it while wearing...

There is an XJ thread: Cherokee Owner's Registry And if you search you will find a number of threads for various things done to XJs. Not as much overall content as on NAXJA, but probably some overlanding focused details that aren't on NAXJA.

Imagine the side effects...

Hmm... I wonder what this may mean for the value of my hard sided pop-up camper.

Thank you for the details.

Neat set up. Who makes that fill cap? I wonder if they have fill caps for older vehicles.

Cool. Thank you. How do you have it plumbed? Where does it pick up from and to where does it return?

The other person to talk to is Russ Pottenger of Bishop-Buehl Engines. The 4.0s are his thing. OTOH, he is pretty booked with work.

Oh no. I have been warned about how this works out. You have to fix her Jeep first. Bad idea. Trust me.

Wimmenz are funny that way. If I were to buy a new vehicle I would hear about that. If I buy parts for the Jeep I hear about those, about the same as if I bought a new vehicle. I have no doubt I get more grief over the bits and pieces spread out over time than I would get for a one time large...

You ran into the finance folks. The Bride has fun with those folks. She has a reverse Polish finance calculator and can run their numbers faster than they can and then demand they show how they got the math wrong. Invariably they have to fess up to undisclosed charges. That is where they...

Yep. I posted before clicking on the link. There also appears to be an Australian Ironman site. Must be a popular name.

The feedback I have seen on my Jeep forum has been positive. I think they are a relatively small operation. I would expect personal customer service. Edit: Nevermind. That is a different Ironman 4x4. It appears there are several of them. That one is Ironman 4x4 America. I am familiar...

Should have known better than to leave the kids to their own devices looking for firewood... :tonguewink: Looks like it could be eucalyptus. Those things are a menace to society.

But, but, but... Can you still get toilet paper? Kidding aside, do you have pics of your setup? It just so happens I have one of those Frantz filters. Old vintage, but I don't think it has ever been installed. I had heard of them before and found this one cheap at a swap meet. I just...
