Jeep Cherokee XJ & ZJ Offroading | The Cliffs Insane Terrain | Marseilles, IL

[@Rozza43]

Really great seeing how much of a difference and open diff 4wd is vs a fully locked up jeep

[@danimal865]

Ive had 4 jeeps now, 1 wrangler and 3 xj cherokees, first things ive always done before any other upgrades is a nice aluminum radiator and an lsd in the rear axel. It always blows my mind when guys spend thousands on upgrades and tires but not 300-400 bucks on an lsd or locker

[@RKmndo]

I had to make tire and suspension upgrades because of a popped tire and busted leafsprings on a YJ before it was even a year old. It flexed noticeably better than showroom with the trackbars removed, brakehoses relocated, anti-swaybar disconnected, and leaf pack clamps opened. 30" mudders and modulating the parking brake allowed it to accompany many locked rigs on trailruns just fine. It also needed lockable storage right away because the neighborhood around my school was sketchy. I put in several Tuffy boxes and an alarm in the first year of ownership. I threw a grille screen, hitch, and roofrack on it right quick too, because I do things other than offroad. IMO, a come-along or a winch should also come before lockers, but I don't hate on locked rigs that need a strap or winching now and then.

[@danimal865]

@@RKmndo dont take my comment the wrong way. I wasnt talking crap. My opinion is coming from a viewers point of view. I see so many videos of off road rigs with 10 grand in upgrades, but still have open diffs. Obviously a winch is great, but aren't always an option to use, and can be very dangerous. Ive had stock height locked diff Cherokee's out perform friends open diff jeeps or trucks with lifts and 35 inch tires. Its just personal preference

[@danimal865]

@@RKmndo i also used to try the e-brake trick, but it isnt as effective as many people think. Your adding the same amount of resistance to both tires by applying the e-brake, but the tire in the air still has less resistance than the grounded tire and the one in the air will power right through it effectively doing nothing. On my first ever trail rig, i mad a bracket to mount a second e-brake handle from the junk yard, got a second cable, and had 1 e-brake for each rear tire. Whichever tire came off the ground, id lock that brake up and send all power to the tire on the ground. Just an old-school tip for ya

Hey Austin, I enjoy your wrenching videos when working on my stock 2000 XJ. Fun video, and it's cool to see what our XJs are capable of with some; but I'm planning on keeping her stock for now.

Great seeing XJ’s out on the trails. Just found your channel. I subscribed!! My thumbnail is my 96 XJ, frame stiffeners, long arms, fox shocks, coil springs in the rear 8.8 rear axle with e-locker, 35’s, cage, winch, bumpers, lunch box locker up front, and a Dana 30 because apparently I like breaking and changing axles on the trails 🙄. Lots of lights and light switches ha!

[@Juice011785]

Looks like a great time! My only thing is - I was always taught not to hook a winch to a strap - the strap is a common point of failure, and if that thing snaps.....game over

[@16driver16]

Sean Unrein what jeep are you trying to lift? 2" budget boosts are really cheap and installation is pretty easy, and you can add upgrades as you go from there, plus holidays are coming up, could ask for a $100-$200 lift kit.

Just a casual observation... it doesn't look like you are aired down enough. I just don't see very much bulge on those tires.

[@OutJeeping]

Jason Guyton I only went down to 20psi and the others were down to 15. I didn't want to go too low because we didnt air up till we drove 3 hours home.

[@RolandtheThompsonGunner]

Gotta make sure you have a good bulge showing. 😉👍
