Easily. I've done it on multiple occasions with drunks. Their current ages are 23, 25, & 26 with a total combined weight of 500 lbs. We just went from bar to bar. I wouldn't want to go any longer than a half hour with the three people I had (for multiple reasons), but with the ages you listed, you should be able to go wherever you need to.

It depends honestly. Are your kids still in a booster seat?

 

With a kid in a car seat (2yrs) and our daughter just recently getting out of a booster; their wasn't much room (if any) for a 3rd kid back there in the center. It helps a lot now that she's out of the booster.

 

3 kids without boosters you should be fine; but with any of them in a booster it may be a little cramped.

 

I'd say you have similar room in the XJ width wise as you do in your KJ.

There is a classic XJ commecial online somewhere that brags about seating 5 adults comfortably. They showed the back seat and the fellow in the middle is all contorted! Rather hilarious.

3 kids across the back of a 4 door should be no problem. The 2 door feels narrow in the back due to how the plastic side molding is configured.

grew up with the parents having XJ's. Dad's was a 2 door and mom's was a 4 door. As teenagers, we fit...it was a little tight, but we still fit and had many great road trips.

 

Me too. Dad got our first XJ when I was 7. It was a 2 door, and a PITA for me and my brother to get in and out of, but it was fun to ride in. If I'd only known back then what I know now, we'd probably still be driving it instead of it going to the scrapyard for pretty much no reason.
