Been doing it for years, sucked much worse when I had a tired out motor, but with a decent motor & tranny it aint too bad. My recommendation though is to get a set of cheap ass ATs for daily driving & save your mud tires for wheeling. I've burnt off some nice tread using my XJ as a daily driver in the past, now it's just a trailer queen though. Another suggestion is to add a trans cooler, as big tires on stock gears is about the same as towing a trailer all the time, leading to a hot trans, leading to trans failure eventually.

I have a complete 4.10 geared XJ for sale for $250 for you to regear your axles with, then sell the rest for parts/scrap. May drop a little on the price or deliver it if you're really interested in it, lol.
