For the little bit of use it will ever see I won't mind having a slow one as long as its reliable for when I do need to use it.

You haven't had to get winched because the extra wheelbase of the XJ is better than a TJ... ;)

The extra wheelbase helps, but I'm also a fairly careful wheeler and try not to get myself into situations that I shouldn't be in to begin with.

i have only been stuck once in my life and thats because my tires fell into deep ruts from a bigger truck and i was sitting on the axles. not a fun day.

I dont have my computer right now for photo evidence, but I know I have a picture of a certain blue XJ being winched out of a deep water crossing where it got snagged by "insert item x" and stuck grille deep in water. The high water pants of said XJ's owner was the best part.
I think that's the same spot where I took on a cab full of water and flooded out my wallet that was on the floor. :-[

i've done that so many times, i can't even count how many times i've had to be pulled out. i'm probably over 35 extractions in my wheeling career.
