Im just a humble picture whore. I dont really care about the contest, just another reason to post pictures of my junk. The only reason we are neck and neck is because I have your old diff cover I guess...
They said they wanted a full list of "specs", so I listed everything I
personally have done to it.
My idea of "wheeling" is being able to drive 4000 miles on un-maintained roads through 9 countries in 5 days, while living and eating out of the XJ, un-supported by anything but my mechanical and survival abilities to get me back home in one piece. Up and around Old Russia maybe? Northern Scandinavia? The Swiss, French, and Bavarian Alps?
Been there done that, looking forward the next "wheeling" trip. Artic Circle maybe? Chile? Who knows... but my XJ is ready for it, and it can take me to the grocery store with the A/C blasting too.
Some folks like to see how big of a rock they can climb and still be able to drive away, that is an awesome thing to watch for sure, but it aint for me. Gets kinda boring after a while, I prefer the scenery to change a little more often.
Mall Crawlers have a place too...

Just not in my garage.
BTW, kudos to you for rockin the wood grain, Chevy Chase would be proud.
Good luck, its a sweet rig!
