Cb is $80 at Road King.... rear hitch/clevis is about $40 at Modern Motors... tires are.... pricey :)

There are a lot of folks on this board that sell their used AT's and MT's. Save some pennies, and watch for a good deal. You don't have to drop $2000 on brand new Toyos and shiny alloy wheels in order to have fun.

Small tires (like the ones that will fit on your XJ right now) tend to be less expensive.

I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(

How much are you looking to spend on a lift?  RE and BDS make some decent lifts, but don't cheap on the shocks.  Crappy shocks can make excellent springs ride rough.

Honestly, there are a lot of tires in McLean that stock ATs can handle as there is very little mud, more rock and hills.  Also your rear hitch will work fine for a tow point

Indeed he does. Now why did I think that he had an XJ?  :o

Either way...the original statement holds true. You don't need swampers (or MT's) to have a good time.

Danger  :D  Mine goes squirrly if I hit puddles and such too fast, just take it easy through the goop, some speed but not too much.
