to me it looks like the driver rear tire is leaning in on the top. i would measure between inside of the rims top and bottom, then front and back to see if the wheels are even parallel to eachother.

So here is what I took. I also uploaded them to my site here: http://www.auto-xcessories.com/jeep.html

I would lift XJ so tires are clear. Pull in and out on each wheel to see how much in out play there is on each axle.
Remove the tires and see if axle looks offset without them. If your on level ground drop a plumb bob from same point on each side down to axle.
While tires are off measure the offset on rims. Stick tires back on opposite side and see if it looks the same.
