Jeep XJ in the Mountains!

You have to stop. Really, stop.
Those pictures are awesome. Your XJ is sweet. But stop before I go out and buy a Cherokee......

Jeeps are like Lego's, there's ton's of parts that swap out and the aftermarket is rife with bolt on parts. :) They seem to be a little more expensive here in Colorado due to the demand, but I bought mine for 900 bucks. I put maybe 2k into it at this point rebuilding the engine, rear axles and diff, rear HD springs, front ZJ springs and tie rod, front bumper etc. I just drove it 2400 miles to N. Wisconsin and back with zero issues, cruise and A/C worked fine, then went trail riding with no breakage. Plus, it's a great dog hauler to get the monsters to the vet.

Ahhhh, that's better.:D
We have a place around here that is about 28 miles long that goes to a town called Crown King where a lot of 4x4's go.
The whole trail is through the national forest and it's blast to ride.
They have a restaurant called The Mill that is an old mining building with the rock crushers and some other really old cool stuff, and they make a KILLER huge pastrami plate with onion garlic fries.
Another 25 miles or so down the other side and you come to Lake Pleasant.

Sounds Awesome! Pictures? I've walked down to Independence Trail and thought "Hell No!", lol.

Great video Joe....looks like fun. I can picture you spending some time @ the new forum Joey's talkin' about.......:cheers:

Thanks C and you bet I'd be there. I've been a member of NAXJA for quite some time but I haven't visited there lately due to the peckerhead quotient.

I think my favorite is Prescott to Crown King because of all the forest.
My second is from the lake direction.
Love that ride.
I put the details together for a group ride from Lake Pleasant to Crown King for the night, and then Crown King to Prescott for the night at the Precott Pines B&B, then all the way back to the lake on Sunday with a stop for lunch and a break at Crown King.
Nobody ever signed up.
Oh well.:D

Sounds like a fun trip! Sometimes getting people together is like herding cats though.

That's awesome. I love my XJ. I have a 96 and I take it everywhere and anywhere I want to go.

Copy the pic off FB and just load it from your desktop. Make sure it no larger than 800x600, looking forward to the pics. :cheers:

2 door 2006 sport. I should have held out for a rubi... but i didnt.

I'd love to have one too, but a car payment just isn't the cards for me.
