yj bogger or xj?ok i picked up an 89 xj 4x4 auto 4 door fully loaded leather the works.
came with 5 extra doors, motor, extra motor/tranny and transfer case/ wire harness for every thing.
(needs brakes, rims/ and a lift for the trails)
driver floor saggy, steering a little loose but i have a 91 for parts as well
i also have the 87 yj 4.2 standard. needs starter, carb rebuild and soon a rad. 230k. solid jeep over all
i have every thing to lift it plus rims and the tires.
wheel wells full of bondo so it could use the trimming 
any draw backs on the yj vs xj?
frame VS unibody
2 door short wheel base VS 4 door
std VS auto
carb VS fuel injection
pb/ps VS loaded
easy 10" lift VS 6"
may plan was to pull the motor/tranny from the xj and put into the yj. but now i dont know lol.
think its worth swapping motor/trannys?
ive always wanted a yj but standard in the mud doesnt seem fun

auto is the way to go for sure
also fuel injected is better than a carb as it wont stall out if you dont pay attention when out on the trials but you only have to get use to it

personally i like my xj..visser's right about the fuel injection and i don't like to have to think about a clutch while i'm wheelin'.

Tread lightly HAHAHA

To hack a 4 door stock XJ to clear 35's will not happen unless you want HUGE holes in the back for the mud to fly in and no rear doors. You need 4-5" of lift and cutting Minimum for 35's. OH and good luck building a YJ that does not brake HAHAHAHA!

4" blocks+ f150 coils with blocks and loads of hacking is the plan.
rear inner feners will be gutted and we will see if the doors can stay or not.

4" block = shit loads of axle wrap and BTW F150 coild are stiff, so it will not flex as well as it does now. Also, that is not Stock LOL!

I know all about driving a rig with no flex, and let me tell you, it is not all that fun.

I had acouple of XJs and you can get pretty good flex cheeply but don't open your doors while flexed cause most of it comes from the body twisting. lol i know from experience not pretty.
