After a few years lost without a Jeep I have bought another one. '96 XJ sport. My family ride. 34" LTB's on beadlocks, 3" lift, sawzall fender mods, 4.0L auto. Seating for five. Located at Superlift ORV Park.

Kids all wanting to wheel now and just cant bring yourself to building a 4 seat buggy? Long time no hear from you Blake. Just for a heads up there's a group of us planning on a trip to HS in June. Don't have my phone in front of me for the actual dates but will contact you before then. Hopefully you and Hivolt can join us.

Just let me know when the group is coming our way and I'll get you some guides lined up. As for the XJ my son will be 15 in a couple of months and I'm not letting him drive my BMW.

Sounds like a sweet build thread to me.

Not this time around Lou. I spent the better part of two years building a complete tube frame rock buggy. I've learned a lot over my 15 years in the rocks. The XJ is was a 1 day build. Simple, low and cheap. I have more money in tires, wheels and winch than the jeep. Heck it still has open diffs. Back to my roots.

good to here from you CCJ. I want to get down that way again some time, although i don't think it will be this year.
Hey Wonk, when are you going to make it out this way again?

That's my plan thus far. Of course once I get the space and money that might change.

Haven't been on here in a while, getting a new club up and running here in Colorado and work in general...great news about the XJ Blake...I wish I had kept mine way back when, by far my second favorite Jeep I have owned...so Richard, when are you heading to Hot Springs?

Depends on weather the woman folk decide if they're coming with us or not. Chris told me tonight he may be deciding not to do any mods to his Jeep. He really likes it the way it is (bone stock and on street treads). If the girls come all 4 seats of my new one will be full. If they don't I should have a back seat. If the girls don't come somebody else should have a seat also. I'll let you know when the date gets closer. You could always get back into it and buy my TJ. ;D You could get way back in where the big pigs live with it.
