TJ vs. XJ

[Bigbike]

I love my XJ but I want to build a TJ or and LJ really bad. I think they look great and function very well.

Where is the Half Frame? I thought the bed was just bolted to the unibody extension.

The bed is bolted onto a fully boxed frame.

I drive a YJ. It was given to me as a bone stock 4 banger with a blown motor. I really like the simplicity of a YJ over a TJ but the TJ obviously has coils and rides 1000 times better. It would be nice to have the extra wheel base of an XJ however.

Bought my TJ for 3 reasons. . .

1. I wanted something that was new with low mileage and no more than a few years old. Wasn't gonna happen with an XJ
2. I wanted a manual transmission, and they are hard to find in XJ's
3. I have owned a YJ before and just love the style of wranglers overall. Love how you can take the top and doors off for max visibility off road too! I don't know how many times I drove with my head out the door opening to see where the tires were going. It helps a lot!

Oh and there full frame and you can fit 35's on 4 inches of lift without trimming

Haha!

I have both- Prefer my TJ over the husbands XJ. Easier to work on and coils all around. Also I can take my doors, top and windshield off (actually they haven't been on the TJ in years) No broken glass.
X2 with the comment "whatever as long as you wheel"

I love xj's, but I will always miss my tj. it was the most enjoyable car I've ever owned. the fun factor is just unbelievable! I wish I had the coin right now to go buy another one

Easier to work on

Fuck XJ engine bays man.

I dont know what im gonna do when I pick one up and try to cram a much bigger motor in there.
Luckily that wont be for a while

Ill x2 this too.

I dont care what anyone says. I love XJs, but if I had to drive only one for the rest of my life, I'd have to go with a TJ.

not my TJ.
just A TJ.

[snowblur17]

Fuck I've wheeled lawn mowers and had an equal amount of fun

[Henchman]

TJ because it was the right price
always loved they way they looked done up
coils

I like xj's too if i had the chance i would buy one

[Mike]

Voted XJ. i like how if i want to, i can fold my back seat down, and stretch out and sleep in the back of my jeep. Done it plenty of times before. like that I have lots of cargo room, ive hauled some big shit in my jeep before. Like that it can comfortable seat 4.

[HitItWithSomeSpeed]

My ass only takes up one seat.

and the drivers seat is pretty damn comfy.

so that point about 4 comefortable seats seems lost on me. Although, ive had 4 people in my TJ for a few long drives (6 hours or so) without anyone bitchin.

I have my hammock and a rollcage. so normally if i find a tree its naptime.
and mike you cant argue this one with me. I know how much you like that hammock

and as for stuff, yes, i would like more storage space, but it isnt really the end of the world. I could always get racks and stuff, but just hate the look, so i dont. Instead i usually leave out my rear seat and just keep the back open for cargo. Wheeling trips are usually the only time i fill that space to the max. Bangarang once strapped a fullsize pull-out couch in the back of his TJ. that was pretty funny hahaha.

As for the wheelbase, yes its awesome offroad, but onroad, I actually really like my SWB.

just rebutting. not trying to argue, just tellin the TJ side.

And as for the lawnmower comment. I dont doubt that. hahaha
