That XJ on 33's and mostly all stock was an inspiration. Give me hope for my 99 XJ on 33's 8.25 rear, Dana30 front once I can afford to get lockers in 😀 It seems to me from watching all these channels, it is a win if you drive it in and drive it out so thumbs up to everyone!!

I got the spartan rear locker and it's a goat just with that

[@braniganhoran5806]

Yeah spartan front same set up, with limited slip rear, shit will literally do anything. Good tread and long arms, it's better than built jks. Perfect wheelbase too.

[@RyanNash20]

I have an xj on 33's with open diffs and I was flat out shocked the first time I took it out what it could do. Had to back down one obstacle, and it was because I was too off camber and kept raising a wheel and spinning it. Lockers would have changed everything.

[@MN_XJ_Mike]

Spartan in the front with a limited slip in the back is a deadly little combo. Point the front and it will take you there

[@steveeich1]

Dude with the XJ flat punked all those expensive builds. Kind of crazy to see. I was quite impressed.

Nah the grand Cherokee did great too, probably a skill gap there. That bronco though... Skill and ability gap was super evident lol.

How much do you think XJ's and mods cost...?

[@erenbecomesdovecrying6016]

@Full Swing there are only 25 XJs listed on car gurus at that price or lower nationwide and they are not pretty. That's less than 1 XJ per state. Almost half of all XJs cost more than $10k.

[@kilrjeep98]

This is probably the best episode of Bleepin Jeep. This shows what is necessary in a rig to have fun. It also shows the difference between good drivers and not so good drivers. Same can be said with the spotters as you can tell by Matt's comments. 😂

The XJ with the least amount of mods made it look easy with the basic 6 cyl. WJ was a close 2nd having the grunt of that 4.7 V8. Both had the balance in the obstacles. JK seemed to have a shorter wheel base I think but got the job done. Bronco just had some bad luck but never quit. Great times!👍👍👍👍

[@gametime2473]

I am always amazed at what those old XJs can do. That driver was excellent too. Very impressive.

[@ernestpaul2484]

The 33" tired XJ with farm implement parts FOR THE WIN! Kudos for the Bronco being able to complete the trail. The rest of the gang were very entertaining and in some cases educational. BleepinJeep for the excellent editing and drone footage.

[@aaronb7990]

#1 - XJ great overall performance, from line selection to driver confidence. #2 - WJ meet the high expectations and visibly saw the driver gaining confidence in the rig. #3 - JK did decent overal on obsticals but more driver finess was exibited by the ther drivers. #4 - FB did ok, I was disappointed by the approach / departure angles vs the other rigs seemed to make things harder, driver skill needs improvement. Great day of fun in the end, was cool to see Josh out enjoying his new toy!

I did Pritchett canyon with my old club, The Renegades, out of Atlanta back in 2001 in my 98 TJ. I think I was on Swamper SXs - 36s with dana 44s front and rear. On the way out to the road I found a dog that someone forgot they let out to follow along. He was happy to see us and we found his owner back in Moab. It was a fun ride. I still have the old TJ now with 70k on it 25 years later. Still running and riding and looking good. Had the same Swampers on it until last year.

I give that guy in the Bronco credit..he’s been beating and breaking that thing nonstop for the last year or so and just keeps fixing and improving it. All that bouncing makes for out of control wheeling and a lot of busted stuff. For a new rig that WJ is very smooth and the thought put into it really shows.

[@1one3_Racing]

If it was a better rig he wouldn't need to abuse it as bad. The XJ did everything much easier. When it comes down to it, all rigs are just tyres, suspension and wheelbase. After that it's driver.

Great video ... watched the entire thing - I've got a new Bronco, so I was obviously rooting for Tyler and the BroncBuster - it hurt my soul a bit when he ended up on his roof, and then the tie rod at the end was just insult to injury ... but I gotta give it up to the WJ - that thing is a BEAST... but for absolute style and points to the underdog - the XJ wins, no doubt. That was impressive as hell. Great job everyone.

Well, most people compare them because they're directly competing with Jeep's for sales. Anyone who buys a Jeep or a Bronco has weighed the pros and cons of each before making a choice. For offroad and overlanding, these are the top 2 choices, even if they have different front end design. I personally prefer solid front axle.

I’m « new » in this Jeep thing (leased a 2019 Sahara Altitude that I just bought off at the end fo the lease, with stock axles and open diffs) and it gives me hope that I could improve on my Jeep to be able to have moderate fun at a budget prices. I’m starting to think that I might get away with keeping the small axles as long as I’m not acting stupid on the trail and taking more that the Jeep (and driver!) canchew.

For all those Bronco bashers out there.....just know that Tyler the guy driving Bronc Buster is one heck of a good guy. I met the man and his wife at Bronco Super Celebration in April and we spoke about his rollover. He had nothing but great things to say about Matt and Josh. He is doing the best he can with what Ford gave us Bronco folks. Having fun with Bronco/Jeep bashing is part of the fun, but there is no need for some of the hateful comments I read. Matt, I love what you guys do at Bleepin Jeep. I hope you realize what a really good guy Tyler is.

[@bleepinjeep]

Ohh ya, he was great! It's all in good fun and we had a great time. You just have to let the commentors be commentors. Bashing on Broncos is just a jeep thing 😁

[@johnkaz858]

What does his personality, driving skills or his wife have to do with the fact that the Ford Bronco is an overpriced (even $ more than Jeep is) joke waiting to happen? The real joke is... Only Lightning McQueen can do better KA-Chow tire spits than the Ford Bronco. Tie rods, kinda important. I know things break on everything, but that is a dangerous trend through the brand.

XJ and WJ definitely killed it !! Makes me wanna build my WJ !

[@rustyricky6684]

XJ for the win!!! I miss my 2001 so bad! I was only on 32’s, with the 4.5” rubicon express…. But that little Jeep went everywhere!!

[@BubbasBikeBarn]

I build Explorers and early Broncos. I have a friend I wheel with that has an XJ all cut to pieces, welded diffs and stock axles on 31s and he makes a lot of JK and buggy drivers very angry. I would do the same back when I wheeled my Explorer the same way on IFS, welded diffs, 33's, and lots of weight reduction. Brings me back to my roots to wheel cheap rigs like that. That's one of the reason's I'm voting yall in for UA. I love that you're building an underrated, uncommon rig.

[@bleepinjeep]

Thanks Bubba, we need the daily votes!

[@BubbasBikeBarn]

@@bleepinjeep PS I'm only like 6 hours away from yall. You should come wheel at SMORR in Seymour MO next time you're passing through from TN to UT or CO!!

[@jake-mv5oi]

That was the most XJ thing I've ever heard: only needed the winch to fix the steering.. XJ & WJ dominated. Their wheelbase and driver skill made the difference.

[@michaelw2304]

I'm really not surprise that it rolled over. He needs more seat time. I've seen him in other videos and cringe each time

[@TheBibleExplorer]

The XJ ALL DAY LONG 🤠👍 I had the same setup on my 2000 XJ and there's nothing quite like seeing the looks on people's faces who are on 37" or bigger getting outdone by a cheap box on 33"s with the 30-35 setup still... great driving and the kiddo impressed me as well, reminds me of my daughter driving mine 🤠👍

[@jramos9832]

XJ with an Allen wrench and duct tape has my vote.. Lots of fun on not such a big budget build!

[@SuperDad1776]

The WJ took the day for sure but that XJ… took the WIN 100% that beautiful XJ is why their the greatest off-road rig of all time.

[@thomasmiller520]

Considering the difficulty of the trail, the XJ wins, but the WJ is a beast. I was impressed by the Bronco, but, Jeep eater seems a stretch. Good job on all of them.

[@tyleraman642]

XJ for the win! That was amazing it didn’t break

[@petemiller519]

After seeing that XJ, I feel like selling my JK and look for an ol' XJ.......NOT :) Bro and his GF were amazing. Truly inspiring, for a near stock rig.

Is that bronco using a GOAT system? The way he kept bumping those rock like a goat made sense.. 😅

[@mikegallagher2732]

THIS IS AWESOME Matt !!!!.. XJ for the Win !!!!! I LOVE my TACO, BUT.....Jeeps just RULE.

[@officialWWM]

Must be pretty embarrassing for that Bronco owner when a 20 year old, $2000 XJ can pretty much drive around you 😂 Better remove the “jeep eater” sticker 😂

And he fully rolled it down a hill recently haha

I love showing up in my beater XJ and surprising everyone. Simple mods, long arms, lockers and 35s on the stock axles. 😂

Or put more sticker says “got eaten instead” 😂

[@kyleshutic9279]

I'm on a D44 swap (no one looks) and my XJ brings the heat every time, no questions asked. I recently moved into a gladiator for the family and don't want to sell it, but the market is prime for well built XJs.

[@off-roadingexplained8417]

I mean I think it's a tie between the Grand Cherokee and Mats off-road recovery Moorvair. That grand Cherokee is no joke. Does insurance even cover that for his Bronco? I've read some places that you have to have off-road insurance or something. As for the XJ... Matt said it ... You can take a Cherokee and put it on 33s a modest lift and disconnect the sway bar and beat anybody... He was right!

[@tomwalsh7547]

I was on one of many club trips in Moab, we were doing the really high sand run ( can't find the name, long time ago ), my guide with the super bad jeep, and my hardcore D90 with a V8 and custom blower were the only ones to make it up, at any rate ( power, skill ) a discovery in our club ( I think it was a manual, rare ) but stalled half way up the hill, lost his brake pressure ( two pumps with no engine ) and rolled about 6 or 7 time down the hill, there was red all over the passenger windshield.... we all raced up the hill on foot, fortunately it was from a pizza they were snarfing, their insurance covered it ( not the pizza, the truck ) . I have also seen and helped rescue a classic Chevy bronco with a fatality at Hollister Hills fortunately the passengers were ejected to safety ( 200 foot++ roll ) , not the driver. I had to winch the the overturned blazer at the request of the FD, it was not a pretty site, short seats, fiberglass top. I then held training sessions for club members of how to handle this situation on failed hill climbs and engine failure and one or two pumps on the brake booster is all you got! This was in the late 1990's insurance may have changed. Check your insurance. I'm in CO now, but case in point for insurance we had a huge fire 2 years ago, 1000 houses burned down, I got lucky burned my front lawn filled the house with ash, melted the badges off one of my cars out front, other neighbors nearby, complete loss, their insurance was not up to rising house prices in the area, 200k-300k short on rebuild costs... I keep up on mine because we had two cabins burn in the wilderness in another CO fire in 96 under covered no longer to code built in 50's, so the point being keep up on your insurance, practice hills climbs with engine failure, join a club with skilled drivers. Also our club used to have various off road rallies, timed way points ect, swap tires with just a hi-lift jack, reset the tire bead with starter fluid, custom potato cannon :) but most important, come across a wreck in the wilderness, find and treat the victims, be skilled!

The Bronco sticker on the Cherokee was so on point for this video.

All brand new off roaders are too expensive for what you get. How can you have fun when you're always inches away from totalling a 40k truck?

It only appears overrated if a bunch of biased Jeep fanboys make the Bronco take shit lines and leave it stock.

Overall, I have to give it to the little XJ on 33's. Everyone did well, the Grand Cherokee did awesome. but I feel kinda bad for the Bronco, it took one heck of a beating and then bucked itself onto its lid. lol.
