no way, as your experience and needs change it is fine to re do/ re make with the new knowledge. dont even sweat it man!!
just pick a really good one to build up.
sad no more new xj's ever again.

Well now I'm kinda leaning towards a Whole revamp of this one, I'm taking bobbing the back narrowing the front new cage and the whole works, probley even a motor swap just turn it into a trail only rig thats not at all a DD just pretty much a buggy! but we'll see I dont have time to work on either one right now anyway so we'll see what happens when i get some time!

Do a JK. I loved mine. Rubicon, a BudgetBoost and 35s. Pretty much did everything my XJ ever did. Walked up Double Whammy...my XJ never did that.

No...do not do this.

Take it from both Jon and myself (and probably Led)...if you want a buggy or anything close to it...don't start with an XJ platform what so ever.

I used to be one of those guys saying i'd totally rock an XJ on 40's yadda yadda yadda.

Fukk that!

Knowing what I do now...I would honestly probably never build and XJ for anything over running a 37" tire.

Yeah an XJ on 37"+ tires is more unique...but far more work than it becomes worth in the long run.

Just my $.02

My limit with an XJ is 35's. There is just too much work to be done to allow the unit body to survive big axles and tires.
