Ive got a 2000 XJ, a 1982 CJ8 scrambler. I have been researching a lift for my cherokee and although this is a cj forum I am curious which vehicle would be best to lift.
I have a 4:1 dana 300 already, 33" tires, It has a V8, 5spd, ps, 4.10 gears, half cab, no rust etc. U can take the top off too, thats always a plus. I also have a 2000 XJ which i really like as a daily driver but I've thought about building it too.
The XJ is stock, needs a lift, sye, driveshaft, gears, (got the tires,wheels), lockers, etc. I lke that the XJ is like a new car, power windows, 4 doors, etc and already has some body damage, but its a unibody and will never wheel like a framed jeep.
The thing that bugs me about the CJ8 is the length and the extra overhang on the back but it seems like I could do more with one of them when it comes to lifting/building.

Then use the wheel base and some huge meats and beat on it till you break stuff, then when you break stuff replace it with bigger stuff.
