Derek's 1997 Jeep XJ

I met a fellow XJ owner on the XJ list. His name is Scott and he lives pretty close to me in Chicago. I hooked up with Scott and his friend Tom for a day of riding trails and playing in the Rock Quarry at the Badlands. Tom owns a lifted Land Rover with lots of custom fabricated goodies.

Here is Tom's Rig. He has a really nice Land Rover with a 3" lift and 31" Super Swampers.

This is Scott's XJ. He has a 3" lift and 31" Super Swampers. His XJ also sports an ARB bull bar and a winch.

The following three pictures are of me having some fun on the big sand hill in the rock quarry. Just for fun, I tried this hill in 2 high. Since the sand was pretty frozen, it was not a problem. However, to better test the Powertrax No-Slip locker, I will try when the sand is not frozen to see if I can make it in 2 high.
