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... ;)

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.  :-[

As soon as my household goods get shipped to my house (recent change of home port) I'll set up my computer and do that. I'm sure he remembers it. Go figure it was the only album on my webshots that i never finished loading...

I remember that extraction. We never did figure out what my XJ was hooked to under the water that wouldn't let me turn and go across.

It was a deep water crossing and my XJ got caught on something underwater that made it turn sideways. I couldn't get it straightened out so I had to get pulled. I was wearing shorts, but the water was several inches above my knees so I rolled my shorts up higher so they wouldn't get completely soaked while I was hooking up the strap.
