The 4x4 swap is complete and it's time to wheel the rig.

This week I finally got to take the 4wd Jeep Cherokee XJ out to Hidden Falls Adventure Park and wheel a bit. Unfortunately we ran into a few snags and didn't get to wheel that hard but I hope you enjoy what footage I did get.
I also want to give a huge shoutout to Battle Rattles Channel. He helped film and get the old tranny out of the rig. Check out his channel as he also posts some really cool off road adventures also.
Next time we go out I guarantee we will get a lot better footage and hit some more gnarly trails. I ran into a bit of a transmission fluid leak on the way home but whats a little smoke on the road right? LOL If it catches on fire you better believe we will film it, post it, and build another rig!

Good video. Glad the XJ did well for you. I have a 92 and love just beating around in the woods. From Calgary Ab. Canada.

+Shanning Porter It's a great time for sure. Now to fix more things on it. Lol

[@rallypoint1]

Although I am 4Runner guy I must commend you on your work. Watched your other vids on this project and was impressed. It’s not easy wrenching by yourself! So congrats from SoCal!!

[@billturner2360]

Very cool place....... wow.... It gives you all kinds of terrain to drive. Are you allowed to camp?

[@FreedomCrawler]

Bill Turner It's got everything you could want and you can definitely camp. it's not the best park for rock crawling specifically but it's great for what it is.

[@chrisparker9471]

Hey I live in Round Rock and go to HF frequently. I have a group on Facebook called Texas XJs that you should definitely join!

[@FreedomCrawler]

That’s awesome. I really appreciate that, I actually don’t have this 2 door anymore, have an MJ

[@chrisparker9471]

Freedom Crawler That's okay I'll accept an MJ just the same haha let me know if you can't find the group.

[@ericroberts6712]

How did u do the removable doors?. I'm gonna do that tomorow. I have some ideas but wanna see how urs was done!. great videos!!

[@FreedomCrawler]

+Eric Roberts I cut the pins out and then made my own pins using bolts. It took a bit of work but nothing difficult. The older models are easier I believe. You do have to mess with the wiring a bit more than a wrangler but it's not hard

[@ericroberts6712]

Jeep_ Noob did u take the doors off the hinge to cut the pins?. my problem is I can't take the door off the hinges because the bolts are striped out.

[@FreedomCrawler]

Eric Roberts no, I used a dreamer to get in there and then once I cut it as far as I could in the gap I then finished it off with a hammer and screwdriver. Then I pried it out with a pry bar

[@ericroberts6712]

Jeep_ Noob awesome. thanks !!

[@dillonwells5649]

whats the lift n tires on tht xj man

[@FreedomCrawler]

dillon wells Welcome, check out my 4x4 conversion videos for the full specs. 4.5" with worn out 35's.

[@Sir_Chuckles_Channel]

should take both doors off and get tube doors

[@FreedomCrawler]

chuck donelow I'm going to make both doors removable and make pins like the wranglers for it.

[@Dalej99]

That's more my style of riding. Everyone here just wants to sling mud. What is the intended use of the trailer? For long off road camping adventures?

[@FreedomCrawler]

+dalej99 Same here. I dislike mud with a passion. Rock crawling is where it's at

[@dustinschaefer1]

what did he use for an axle on the trailer. And where is jeep girl?

[@FreedomCrawler]

dustin schaefer Its an axle from tractor supply. He went back the next day and swapped in a beefier one and towed it home

[@FreedomCrawler]

dustin schaefer Her grandmother was really sick and she went to go see her. She will be back in this week's episode!

[@dustinschaefer1]

Jeep_ Noob i would think about using an old rear axle out of something depending how beefy the ones from tractor supply are

[@jacobdeem1328]

just slightly?

[@FreedomCrawler]

Jacob Deem haha maybe a bit more than just slightly

[@kirks6932]

can anyone explain the trailer?

[@FreedomCrawler]

+Swager INC. Kirk* It's being built for over landing. It's enclosed with electricity and an axle twice as big now.

[@scottrupley7845]

nice video... but WTF kind of axel is that?... that's a street axel... pay attention
