Future modifications will include, but are not limited to...
1.Skid Row XJ Gas Tank Skid Plate. THIS IS ON THE WAY... I ordered it from directly from Skid Row. Should be on just in time for the Maine trip, just hope i don't need it.
I found that with the longer wheel base of the XJ, any Wrangler, CJ, TJ, etc. I've tried to follow has led me into narrow ditches. The gas tank was in constant contact with the slopes of the ditches. I've still got red clay in my tow receiver electronics. Oops.
Well the Skid Plate went on after some airgun assistance from PepBoys. I had to fully remove the tow receiver, so that meant I was illegal for the Jamboree. But a quick delivery from Mopar of one rear tow receiver and I was good to go. And it turned out I needed BOTH. I got hung up really bad between the axel and oil pan. First stuck was a good one.
2. Rock Rails. No trail more dificult than a 5 (maybe an easy 6) should be done without them. I was surprised that I have cleared most obstacles so far. But my luck will not and cannot last.

3. Full Rubicon Rear Leaf kit. As you can tell by the pics on page 2, this is a necessity. It may even make modification No.1 irrelevant.
4. Quick Disconnect Sway Bar . Just looking for that extra sway on the trail. Company info to follow.
5. Vanity Plate... still thinking of a good one.
any suggestions for all of these mods, let me know.
