I seen 1 lonely mildly lifted xj when up around traverse . Am I the only one around S.E. Michigan ? Or Michigan period ? If not , lets see em !

its not exactly modified

yet


but i am in michigan and a huge XJ fan

(farmington hills to be exact)

mine is a 99' limited, pretty much stock except for a 2" OME life
money is kinda tight right now for me but when i get some spare cash im going to start adding on to her



also, if anyone is interested i might be selling a black 98 XJ limited that is pretty much exactly the same as this one but in better condition
it has just over 100k miles, tan leather interior, 242 transfer case, the infinity sound system with the components up front instead of the 2 way speaker cherokees usually come with.
if anyone is interested just pm me and ill get you some pictures

No pics...and not in Mi, but in NW Ohio. Most of our wheeling is in MI, though. Check out Great Lakes Four Wheel Drive Association (GLFWDA.org), also. The association is your voice in MI for land use, etc...basically your link to the legislation to keep the ORV routes & trails open for full-size use. They have a gallery on the site with a lot of pics from rides throughout MI and some from other areas.

BTW...2000 XJ, RE 3.5, 31" ProComp XMT's, JCR sliders, Nates 4x4 front bumper modified for my "vintage" Warn 8274. And I agree...way too many stock XJ's around NW Ohio & SE Michigan. When I feel like 3.5" isn't enough I just park by a stocker in a parking lot and then I don't feel so small.

Da YooPee? St. Ignace, Sault St. Marie, Marquette?

The gent who lived next door to me in Petoskey, MI 15 years ago (holy crap, it *REALLY* is that long ago,) was asleep in his bunk when the Mesquite foundered off Keweenaw Point. He mentioned it was an experience he really didn't want to repeat.

www.michiganwheelers.com is another good site.

And there are quite a few XJ's popping up in michigan. Still only a couple dozen "big" rigs that i know of.

My buddy and I are from Bay City.

Mine also will not be on the road much anymore... its just getting to expensive
