I soon realized taking a leather, 2wd, expensive, 2006 trailblazer off road wasn't going to cut it...

So 1000$ later I found this with only 117k miles
Dented to hell, but its a trail rig, I don't really care. Runs like a top and only leaks a little but of coolant... sometimes
I still have the tb... shes the tow rig now, it gets the job done.. barely





I lifted it...



Bought tires





Broke it in





The XJ is not insured, and gets trailer-ed everywhere. I cant say how much better it is on the trail knowing you don't have to drive what your offroading home. Seems to make it a bit more capable too
