XJ’s are awesome offroad. lockers and a winch are big improvements to any 4×4. winch should be first then axles for your goals. then you put in the lockers. then armor. great start then build for lift and tires plus gearing and your good to go.

Great job by the Cherokee.Great looking Jeep. The CJ at the beginning was pretty nice too.

At the time that this video was shot, I had a 1.5 inch lift using add a leaf and spacers. Unfortunately, I just sold my baby , so hopefully whoever bought her treats her well
Thanks for all of the compliments

@kc8ntp I flex mine just fine offroad about every weekend.

That was one of the most tension building jeep videos out there. Great job at climbing that! i was thinking no way at first, but then the driver and jeep did it anyway.

@kc8ntp I have about 2” of lift and I’m running narrow 31s. 31×8.5 on Jeep Liberty wheels. No problem flexing. There’s NO way I could run a 31×10.5 on it though.

I have always known the worth of a Jeep in unfriendly terrain but what can one say after watching this video…damn impressive~!

@xjjeepcherokee Its been awhile now, but check your battery.
#9 by JEEPnF100 on January 8, 2012 - 9:48 pm
I did this exact thing in my near stock cherokee with a rear truetrac as well…. I slammed it into a tree……. yea….
#10 by kc8ntp on January 8, 2012 - 9:49 pm
@Droiddest 31s will fit fine, if you don’t use them off-road! Try flexing a stock XJ with 31s… it won’t be pretty! Under flex, you better have 3″ of lift for 31s!
#11 by kc8ntp on January 8, 2012 - 9:58 pm
@SebastianLong No, I drive a ’96 Jeep XJ, with 3.5″ of lift, rear LSD, Spartan locker in the front, and 31X10.5s. If it was not also used on the street, then I would do even more mods. Plus, just to let you know, I was a certified mechanic for a long time, but I now hold multiple engineering degrees: electrical, electronics, and mechanical, respectively; and I am now working on a psychology degree, too. So, no, I did not fall off the turnip truck yesterday.

@kc8ntp airplane and helicopter parts for Ducommun Aerostructures of New York…so yes…i’ve seen AND built enough becides my own Cherokees to know how capable they are 100% stock all the way up to a tube frame chassis “Chericon”…so please…do not question someone before you understand dynamics of a ALMOST stock vehicle…btw…what do you drive now…a Honda?
#13 by SebastianLong on January 8, 2012 - 11:15 pm
@kc8ntp 2 PIAA pro series 80 lights, 2 Warn SDB 210 lights, Dana 44 axles from Dynatrac (front Aussie locker, rear detroit), roof rack from Warrior products with a light cage, a few other goodies that aren’t as mentionable as the proceeding…now…you were saying?…would you like a video on me driving my 96 over a couch too?…my 87 is long but gone…unfortainately…but i also have pictures of that as well…i’ve been in the automotive field for 10 yrs before i moved onto building >
#14 by SebastianLong on January 8, 2012 - 11:33 pm
@kc8ntp i’m now working on my third jeep cherokee…i started off with a 1987 jeep cherokee with the 4.0 and the dana 44 rear axle…i have pictures of this exact jeep 100% stock with 33′s without the flares…and then i owned a 96 Jeep cherokee that started life 100% stock with new stock rear leaves and running 31′s…lifted the 96 4 inches and fitted 33′s under it…neither of them had lockers…now i’m building a 2000 jeep cherokee with 8 inch skyjacker rock ready, 35′s, warn powerplant >
#15 by Droiddest on January 8, 2012 - 11:34 pm
31s fit just fine on a stock XJ.
#16 by kc8ntp on January 9, 2012 - 12:33 am
@SebastianLong It does have a lift (probably about 3.5″), or those 31s would not fit! Stock tires for an XJ are 215/75R15s, so 31s are huge compared to stock. It has lockers, so, yes, it is modified. This Jeep is far from stock! How many XJs have you owned; I have owned 5 of them, so I know them better than any 4X4.

cool.
#18 by h34x4 on January 9, 2012 - 1:43 am
when i see almost stock jeep and this trail i exspect to see redneck carnage
#19 by h34x4 on January 9, 2012 - 1:51 am
ok ok its not that fully locking an xj is hard or costly its that lockers arnt a crawling mod its they mod to crawl if you fully locked in anything trail wise you are not almost stock
#20 by kc8ntp on January 9, 2012 - 1:51 am
@h34x4 You could get the Jeep with a posi in the rear. But, yes, I see what you are saying. However, even a moron can put lockers in a Cherokee in both diffs in under 3-hours. The rear is easy to install a locker on most 4X4s, but the Jeep is also one of the easiest to put one in the front, too. Plus, if there was somebody that knew how to fucking drive, then it would have been much easier to climb that hill!
#21 by peckerwood479 on January 9, 2012 - 2:08 am

#24 by AlexusDivine on January 9, 2012 - 3:35 am
Wow that machine is quite capable. Fabulous car. Go anywhere do anything at anytime. I’m getting one.
#25 by Halliday7895 on January 9, 2012 - 3:53 am
@rudyyy60 hahah not true my ex girlfriend flipped hers over because she “thought” she saw a deer and swerved and then swerved again to miss a Utility Pole and it flipped over upside down. nothing with wheels is women proof. They have a weak ability to stay calm in stressful situations., hell she cant even keep her mouth shut and be calm when I’m driving and nothing is even wrong. The only women proofing you can do is sound proofing so you cant hear the female passengers navigational freakouts!

We used ultra leather on the car doors shown in the video. On the sample door panel we used a chocolate brown tweed.

#34 by hansford2006 on January 9, 2012 - 8:41 am
