I Broke My Jeep On A Steep Slope - 3 XJs Climbing Hills - 2.5 Turbo Diesel, 4.0 HO & 2.5i

[@Sandor68]

Glad it all worked out in the end but that day really sucked for you guys and the snow can make things tricky also... great video 👍😁

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Thanks! That's part of the sport too. 😉

We have XJ, we are using it for some offroading. Great car, lot of fun and hapiness!

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

I saw it few days ago. Really nice XJ! ❤️

3 XJs…don’t get much better than that!!!!

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Thanks! I agree. 🙂

You guys live in XJ heaven.. Would I love to take mine through those trails

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

You are welcome!

[@RenoLaringo]

I really enjoyed all the work you put in this video! Nice rigs mate👍 I have a Isuzu Rodeo on 31's and I'm getting my ''new'' truck tomorrow : a black 2001 Cherokee 2.5td. I already know there's gonna be some serious work to be done. I hope I will enjoy it as much as I enjoyed the Rodeo. Keep up the good work man ! Thank you for the good vibes and cheers from Belgium👍

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it. I hope you're gonna enjoy it and that the Jeep will serve you well. Greetings from Croatia!

So capable! These vehicles don’t look to be modified at all!

This is really steep but it can't be seen on the video... We are all on 3 inch lift and 31s.

[@markotroha5731]

Cool video

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Thanks Marko! 😉

[@johnsheetz6639]

I like your setup! I like them with a maybe 3 inch lift in a 1050 31 tire,more maneuverable drivable better, gas mileage. When you go all out on tires and suspension when you go all out on tires and lift, let's just say the bigger the tires the bigger the stuck.😊

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Thanks! Now I'm at 4.25 lift, 3 suspension and 1.25 inch pucks. Looks much better now. 😃

[@johnsheetz6639]

@@V8AmericanMuscleCar yeah the pucks will probably help keep it off the fenders when you're really going after it!

[@onefastcyclist]

A great video! But you could sing: "if it weren't for bad luck - I'd have no luck at all" and cold fingers to fix it too. A fine trail in-spite of the weather, I'd go back next summer

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Thank you! I have to go back to see if that trail leads somewhere. If it's passable, I think I know where it leads. But I'll go when it will be dry! 😁

[@CJLane-62]

Great video it sucks that you Broke down, and especially having to fix it in the Cold Snow!👍🇺🇸

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Thanks! Honestly, I was most worried about going down on the snow because that one part is very steep, even though it doesn't look like that on the video. But it all went well.

[@josipprgomet994]

Hm. Strange how easily it broke, I guess it was cracked from earlier. Those tires are really bad in that mud, does not look like you aired down?

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

I also think it was cracked before because I had the feeling of some kind of vibrations all the time. After we fixed it, that went away. The "Country Beast" tires on the Jeep that managed to climb are great! I aired down, maybe not enough but I don't think I would have succeeded with these tires here while it's wet.

Ispričao si mi šta ti se desilo, sada sam to imao prilike i da vidim. Desila se najgora varijanta, da si ostavio vozilo u terenu i na dosta lošem mestu... a onda i sneg, dobro da nije zavejalo, tražio bi auto u proleće :) Napatiste se, ali teški momenti će se brzo zaboraviti i pričaćete o ovome u nekim budućim druženjima :)

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Baš mi i nije bilo svejedno dok se nisam spustio, ali ne žalim. Bitno da je sve dobro prošlo, a i ovo je dio off road-a. Morat ću se vratiti i osvojiti to brdo, ali kad se osuši! 😅

[@dabrovcreek]

Joj snijeg idućeg dana, šteta to je trebalo snimit! Jel idete kad na kakve "lakše staze" ?

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Kad smo složili Jeep, spuštao sam se po snijegu (zadnji dio videa). Pa zapravo je ovo lakša staza osim tog zadnjeg, strmog dijela.

[@dabrovcreek]

@@V8AmericanMuscleCar A je da ok je staza samo malo da je to drveće počistit... Da da vidio sam kraj videa zato i kažem za snijeg

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

@Dabrov Creek bilo je okolo još tih "puteva" ali puno drveća porušenog pa je bez čišćenja gotovo neprohodno. Nažalost ti putevi se koriste samo dok se drva izvlače van i većina njih nigdje ne vodi. Ali ponekad i je u tome čar, istraživati i probati izaći negdje na drugu stranu...

[@guideguide2270]

hello i would be interested in a winch in the original shock like the 2.5 i is there any possibility of having more information

[@aired-downdisconnected4125]

Look up "factory XJ hidden winch" .

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

That's my friends XJ but I'll have to do video about that winch because people ask me all the time about it.

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

What I know about it, the winch is behind the front passenger's seat and is routed through a steel pipe to the front bumper.

[@hardsurface9438]

Which lift kit would you recommend as the best?

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Lift size or the manufacturer? I have Rusty's 3 Inch and after 3 years it still rides great. On every "Jeep video", I have included information in the video description about each Jeep, so you can see which Jeep has which lift kit. None of us had any problems. XJ is your daily, off road ride or both?

[@hardsurface9438]

@@V8AmericanMuscleCar I was wondering what manufacturer is best and what kit you need for 31 wheels, there are a lot of options on the site. Can I write you some questions about the car? you have very valuable experience, I am in the process of finding and buying an xj and need your help.

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

@Hard surface You can read a lot of bad reviews for Rough Country so I would avoid it. Old Man Emu is probably the best but it's also expensive. With Rusty's, Ironman...you should be fine. You are safe with 31s and aggressive tires with a 3.5 lift kit, while with 3 inches it can sometimes rub. Of course, you can ask anything but I'm not an expert. 😁
