New member here from Georgia, but not new to the offroad world. I've owned several Jeeps over the years, '92 XJ, '04 TJ, '98 XJ, '14 JK and most recently picked up an '18 JL. I still have the '98 XJ (3" lift 33's) but look forward to building the JL.

I'm not sure what happened to the dawgs, its always tough putting up 40+ points a game then being held to <20.

Here are a couple pictures of my current fleet. The XJ needed quite a bit of work to be road worthy (entirely new cooling system, heater core, oil pan, rear main seal, transmission pan/filter, hubs, u-joints). After I got it back on the road the D35 started making some nasty sounds so I swapped in an 8.25. Its been a reliable daily driver until I picked up a motorcycle and has since been used when the weather doesn't cooperate. Recently took it up to the mountains and it performed well with the exception of having open diffs. Lockers are needed but the JL needs more attention.

I want to lift the JL 3.5" and put 37's under it, but I want to do it the right way and it always ends up snowballing. So for now, I'm taking advantage of the weather and enjoy taking the kids on Jeep rides the doors off.

Love your XJ. I had a stock '00 XJ after I graduated college that I never had the money to do anything with it and then sold after 5 years. Not a single day goes by that I don't miss it.
