My question is, why bother with making the Ranger into an offroader if you already have the XJ? Any larger wheel/tire combo you put on the Ranger is going to have a negative effect on your MPG's. If you make the Ranger as aerodynamic as possible (or get a different, even more economical vehicle), the money you save can be used to fuel the XJ when you want to go wheelin' for the weekend.

If I hadn't needed to trade in my pickup for the trade-in value, I would have kept it for the exact same reason.
