First off, hello everyone. I just purchased an XJ after looking around, what seemed like, forever. I had one in high school in 95' and have always wanted to get another one. I run a dealership and the mythical little old lady traded it in. 100,000 miles,1999 bone stock and she never shifted it into 4wd. I jumped on it.
After buying it and a bit of stock wheeling (not to fun) I put a 4.5" rusty's lift on it, 31" BFG's and a CB. I've been playing with it quite a bit and having a blast, I've even talked my fiancee into it and she is loving it as well.
So now to the questions. I'm in Las Vegas and would like more of an expedition type vehicle to explore the desert. Not looking for a pre-runner but something very reliable, easy to drive on the highway and capable. I'm very concerned about reliability and safety especially considering I'm going to be exploring the middle of a 120 degree desert.
I have a nice inverter, front sway bar disconnects and link pin eliminators on order (broke a link pin yesterday on the front passenger side, fun)
So, any suggestions? I have the cooling system and lockers bouncing around in my head right now. Any advice would be appreciated!
Here are some jeep pictures, my girl was driving but you get the idea.
