Yeah a 4.0 does have enough power, but you can never have too much!

A XJ could be a racecar..
I would take my XJ to Norwalk to see how she does on the 1/4 mile but other then that it would be pretty useless...

Yeah I want to autocross, drag, drift all that good stuff. But to expensive! I'll stick to off roading and then if I keep mustang I'll figure out if I'll drag or autox.

Yeah that is one nice thing, I think modding a Jeep to wheel is a whole lot cheaper then doing a actual nice drag, or drift car.

Yeah cause you tend to make parts last longer wheeling and not worried about looks.

Yupp!
On a Jeep if you get any rust, or body damage just grind it down a little and bedline the whole lower half!
Nothing gets cheaper/easier then that, while protecting it from future abuse, and it usually looks pretty good too

Haha damn you got some nice looking towhooks!
Just be sure to get the recovery strap that doesn't have the metal hooks on then ends or else that paint will not stay pretty for very long!
