Its the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year and I'm heading out solo in the Jeep Cherokee XJ for an remote overnight winter camp in the wilderness. Temperatures have been fluctuating and a storm recently passed which has created granular snow, or sugar snow as they call it here. Although the snow level isnt high the traction is very low, especially on inclines. These conditions are notorious for axle hop as the snow does not stick together and has the consistency of sugar, so low pressures and the chains are on to help get some grip. This was a pretty chilled camp before the holidays begun, hope you all have a Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thanks for watching.

Nice vid. Loved the drone view of your camp with the distant fire. I have a 99 xj with the rear traclok. In the US they came with the Up Country Suspension Group package which was the trail rated package back in those times. Not many xj’s with the package here. You know you have the traclok when you look in the glove box and see the warning sticker that it came fitted with it. Can I assume you don’t have a front locker? Thanks for the great work!

I don't know if you can find it over there, but here in the US they sell a tread plate channel, sort of an inverted "D" that we weld onto the access ladders of grain trailers and tankers. It comes in long sections, usually pretty cheap and you just cut and weld onto the rungs. Typically works with 1"-3" round steps, gives good grip with snow or mud packed boots when climbing.

Hi Mike. I check daily to see when your videos drop lol Everything about them is great and inspiring. That out trow was really good. Your editing. Camera angles. Appropriate use of drone footage is great! Spotted the new rear ladder immediately . Looks great. I think I see you use that boot tray almost more than anything else. Kneeling on. Collecting firewood. Fan for the fire. So many uses! As someone who is very particular like yourself. I think a front selectable locker would be the best option Mike. Because it keeps you in control of what the Jeep does and doesn’t do. Either eaton e locker or ox cable. I went truetrac F&R on my XJ. It is great off road no doubt. But I’ve only had it on some steep gravel Inclines so far. So not enough testing to give you proper feedback yet. But I can feel some steering wheel torque when on 4 hi on the highway. (Icy/snow conditions) But some of that was also down to play in the front lower control arms. ( it’s Better now I replaced those). So all I can say is this. If there is anything not 100% tight or right in the front axle. The truetrac will highlight it. But if I’m honest I wish I had spent more $$ and went selectable. But I’ve not had it long. Or really put them to the test is deep snow yet. But I will report back after more testing Mike.👊

Thanks for the solid feedback on the truetracs and the video. Appreciate you watching, and I'm glad you enjoyed it. I want a selectable locker. Ox or E locker. I'm not sure which one it will be, but an E locker is very obtainable for me here. OX is hard to find and very expensive. I think my front axle is letting the vehicle down in most situations. I see both my rears spinning most of the time unless they are bound up. I will look at some E lockers and see what I can dig up. Thanks again for watching and happy new year

Another great video Mike, I particularly liked the bonus of the motage at the end. Saw the new ladder straight away and thought "did I miss that in a past video", then a couple of minutes later relieved to hear it was a new addition. At the start were you testing to see if we were all listening? Swear you said the sun rises at 10pm! That would be one hell of a late start to the morning 😂

Griptape actually gets clogged really easily with snow and ice because it’s so porous material. I would go with something that either doesn’t freeze like rubber mastic tape or some sort of aggressive spikey metal surface.

Great video!!! The snow you are driving in is very similar to the snow in cold winter of Wyoming. My last time out was chains on all 4 of my built 97 Jeep TJ with 35's and around 10 psi, had to work to go anywhere the snow was deep, but without the chains all you could do was horsepower through it. What diesel engine is in your XJ? I just got done swapping in a Cummins R2.8 into my TJ a year and a half ago. You should look into a Eaton True Trac for your dana 30 front axle they are very good for your type of driving and will give you a lot more traction.

I will check out the Eaton True Track, lockers are becoming something i wish I had done years ago. Sounds like you have a nice build for getting out there. I always loved TJ's. The engine is a 425ohv 2.5 marine diesel engine. It came standard in these euro export XJ's. Mines not really standard anymore, lots of modifications for power and reliability etc. Thanks for watching and happy new year

Say I follow religiously but afraid I may have missed something. I have finally got close enough to hopefully purchase a roof top tent for this coming summer season. I have been looking at the same one you have that is sold here in the US. It looks like you have possibly solved one of the issues I have had and added a rear ladder and started using the side for entry. Have you made any videos on this yet. The rear ladder is a great idea for so many reasons, only concern is , does it add to hinge or general tailgate wear?

The lsd in the stock axles be it the 35 or 8.25 are actually very good. I have a stock lsd 35 and my 30 has the Volvo variant and I like the setup. Works great offroad and works great on road. Like 20 years ago I tried one of those cheap aussie lockers in the 30 with a lsd 8.25 and it was terrible on road in the rain and snow. Selectable lockers is the best option. So we are going to go with Yukon zip lockers.

I'm always quite surprised at how good it performs. It's good to hear that a lunchbox locker is bad for road manners. I don't want to use one for that very concern. I expect I will get an E locker for the 30 or, if possible, an OX locker. I will check out the Yukon Zip Lockers

I would recommend a good infrared lamp, you are in the North so are lacking the health benefits of the sun.

I take a lot of vitamin D, and most things here are fortified, but a lamp I have been considering. So they work well?

You could go with Talon Grip Material? They sell DIY talon grip PRO sheets that work fine in wet/dry situations.

Sweet video! I know this may be way too expensive, would require trailering, and not sure about how close to grenading your turdy 30 it would get, but tracks would be fun to see you on.

Thanks for another great winter camping video! One small detail I noticed on the chain springs. It looked like the hook faced inward toward the sidewall on the install portion that was shown. Any concern of puncture with those? I was wondering if they hold position well enough if the hooks face outward or if rolling the ends over would help. You mentioned they were from a trampoline. I had a friend tear his leg up from one of those springs so I know the ends can be sharp. Of course tires are tougher than skin especially in those temps. Happy New Year! Maybe 2024 will be the year you catch a glimpse of him. He’s bound to slip up sometime.

I know what you mean on the springs. I've thought about it but I think it will be fine. The side wall is very thick but perhaps a situation where you hit a rut and it pushes the spring into the tire. I do need to come up with something new, its just very difficult to take the spring off when its set the other way. Thanks for the comment and for watching. Happy 2024!

Coming from someone who locked their 30... i don't think you should discount it. Realistically you've done enough to strengthen it that it would compete with a 44 hands down. It will be a lot cheaper to lock your 30 than source a stronger compatible axle and upgrade it... IDK maybe I'm biased. My setup isThe ARB (i know expensive) with the option for 30 spline inner axle shafts so you can run a thicker chromoly. Have to run the 29(?) spline outers still to continue running the xj unit bearings. Was cheap for me because i got this stuff used but if you weren't aware of that 30 spline option it does exist! Not sure if other manufacturers have it. You'll have to think what you want the weak point to be. Bettter u joints/stub shafts than gears or inner axle shafts... All this to say you better freaking lock your 30!

Thanks for the feedback, mate. Appreciate it because I hear so many things. It's hard to know, but real-world experience is always really useful for me. So, for starters, I'm going to put in an E locker, electric one. I think compressed air will fail here much like my own compressor. Ice and water freezing in small lines. I can't get an OX. I would love one, but it's just too expensive and hard to source here. Thanks again, and happy 2024!

Mike I live in British Columbia,Canada. I’m a diehard Toyota guy but I REALLY like the XJ’s. I must say that you have one of the coolest rig set ups I have seen to date. Where abouts are you located and is there an abundance of space to overland? Looking forward to hearing from you. CHEERS!!!
