I owned my XJ for over two years before I took it off road. My first experience off road was a weekend outing with Let's Go Jeepin, Inc. I did not have any off road experience, and Lets Go Jeepin was a great way to learn about my Jeep and learn the basics of driving my XJ off road in a safe and environmentally friendly manner.

In these pictures, the only modifications my rig had were front tow hooks and rear hitch receiver with a tow hook.
