Flat Nasty 6-26-10 In the ’87 XJ
This was another trip where I had hoped to wheel 2 days in a row, but once again this park foiled my attempts to do so.

I’ve had a bit of a desire to own soft to Jeep at some point in my life even after taking one out west in 2010. But more specifically, I really like the old flat fenders, though I really don’t fit well in one, and packing the wife and kid into one was a definite no go. The closest modern day equivalent to that is the SE TJ, which is a 2.5 4 banger, with zero options. A deal was…
