BUSTED KNUCKLE CHEAP JEEP XJ vs CLIFFHANGER TRAIL | EJS 2021

Well we put it to a vote online on whether we should take the JKU to Moab, Utah for Easter Jeep Safari 2021 or the $5K Budget Cherokee Build. Well the people have spoken and they said they wanted the beater XJ. So we loaded up the Busted Knuckle Cheap Jeep XJ and drug it 24hrs across the Country to hurt some built JK owner's feelings. Day 1 we chose to hit an easy warm up trail with Cliffhanger. It is a 10 mile in and out trail with amazing views and a few difficult obstacles including one alongside a cliff that gives it the name. It is a good trail and is a ton of fun in a

Awesome XJ! It makes a world of difference when you have a driver that know what they are doing!

Go for it. As long as you are locked front and rear and know how to drive both trails can be a lot of fun, be sure to take tools and spare parts in case you need them as well as some wheeling buddies.
