STOCK Jeep Cherokee XJ vs DANGEROUS Snow Storm!

[@KCars]

Part 2 will be coming soon! And let’s just say it involves some upgrades to the Jeep, stay tuned and thanks for watching!

[@clericspire3440]

Go to a parking lot and drift and I already followed you

[@KCars]

I’ll have to try drifting on a parking lot that isn’t gravel under the snow, would probably make it a bit easier. Thanks!

[@clericspire3440]

@@KCars Oh that was gravel under there? Ok try in a big parking lot at night or something I would watch that video

[@clericspire3440]

That's aphult

[@donovanprice95]

Hey man, is that Morgantown/Coopers Rock? My old stomping grounds!

[@Rugsadventures]

As a Firefighter and snow plow operator, I'd recommend to Always take food/drinks, blankets, Extra warm clothes, and a can of gas you never know what may happen out there STAY SAFE AND HAVE FUN

[@KCars]

Thank you! Luckily we were about a 25 minute drive to home but I agree you never know what could happen.

[@antidemonic806]

I take all that except for foor / water . I have a front wheel drive jeep patriot sadly.

[@SnacksDeCarGuy]

I have a 2wd 2000 Cherokee Classic, I am moving up to Washington and was worried how it would preform. Clearly, I underestimated how well a stock Cherokee does, in any terrain. I swear this car gets better and better every day I own it.

[@beez1598]

Had a Toyota prerunner, moved to Washington, traded it for an xj. Life is much better

[@KCars]

They are absolute beasts!

[@4x4adventure_pl]

I can't get enough of seeing the Cherokee XJ in action. It's a true classic that continues to shine offroad!

[@KCars]

Agreed, never gets old!

[@jeffreynowak1294]

I love this video. More snow storm drives up to the Cabin in the XJ please.

[@KCars]

I’m really hoping we get another snow storm, would love to do this again. Thanks for watching!

[@2needey1]

You’re in an old school Cherokee. It’s like driving a quad on public streets. Get a winch if you’re interested in making money along the way. Bring a long strap to pull also.

[@samuelrickerd8730]

I've taken my Stock XJ through about 8-10 inches of powder snow on top of dense wet snow. And it performed pretty well, only time I had to switch it to 4wd was when I started to get to the top of a hill but it drove extremely well.

[@KCars]

I’m hoping to get another snow storm with more snow because this seemed like nothing for the Jeep, I was very impressed. Thanks for watching!

[@salimfaysal6651]

I live in vermont & we have alot of snow

[@KCars]

Awesome, I’m hoping we get some more snow around here but we usually only get a few days of actual snow

[@jeepinpete4016]

The trick to those headlights in snow is to spray the crap out of them with Rain-x. Just make sure you use a clean towel and don’t scratch the plastic.

[@KCars]

I’ll have to keep that in mind. Thanks for watching!

[@MsKratos9]

this jeep rocks!!!

[@KCars]

It sure does. Thanks for watching!

[@michaelphipps4313]

That jeep will last a lifetime if you take care of it and “hands down “ the very best to have in the snow 💪💪

[@KCars]

Thanks for watching!

[@everlast7771]

I remember my first XJ, love the enthusiasm, I'mdriving my 4th XJ now. Jeep on fellows .!!!!👍

[@KCars]

It’s a lot of fun, thanks for watching!

[@30AndHatingIt]

I was never a Jeep guy or even an SUV guy… then I acquired a 2003 Cherokee and it really blew me away. Other than my first car, this has been hands down the best vehicle I’ve ever owned. Seems like the only thing that will kill the 4.0 inline six is a 50 cal bullet. Absolutely murders snowstorms in Buffalo, including this last “generational blizzard” this past week, while being BONE STOCK. Everyone else was stuck, so I was ripping it around town helping who I could. And the last non-rust related part I fixed on her? A power steering hose… for 70 bucks… 5 YEARS AGO. Good lord, they should have just continued making the Cherokee as they had from the 80’s, 90’s and early 2000’s like the Beetle kept being made. Once they changed it up and went soccer mom in 2005, the model went downhill.

[@KCars]

Do you mean 2003 grand Cherokee? The Cherokee XJ was discontinued after 2001. And I definitely agree these things are definitely tanks if you maintain them. Thanks for watching!

[@30AndHatingIt]

@@KCars I mean the XJ, they should've just continued with them. My 2003 is a WJ I think? Same engine and basically the same frame, but new body and interior. I can't wait to go looking out of state (I'm in the rust belt) for a nice XJ... though I know I'm gonna be paying a hefty price.

[@KCars]

@@30AndHatingIt ya it seems like these things are going up in value for the clean ones

[@JoseGomez23141]

Same man crazy story I had my truck stolen and needed a car asap a buddy of mine had it on the market for 4K with 203k miles nice lift on 30s got it for 2.5k I was devastated the first 2 weeks then it grew in on me 2 yrs in and I’ve took it camping snow off-roading and I’ve fallen in love with them it now has 221k going strong 💪💪

[@joshdaniel7894]

Big part of this video to us you are clearly a very calm and safe driver! You get as much credit as the xj

[@KCars]

Thank you!

[@Smegma_pirate]

Oh lord it’s a almost 3 in deep!!! 😂 Jeep guys are hilarious

[@2needey1]

I’m in Colorado and my 2001 Xj 3 1/2 lifted is a beast in snow storms. Goes through two feet like butter!

[@KCars]

Awesome, I’ve always wanted to go out there during the winter, seems like an awesome place

[@wchristian2000]

Love this guys vibe

[@KCars]

Thanks 👌

[@jlsgarage872]

My stock xj on some wrangler all-terrains eats snow like a boss

[@KCars]

I don’t doubt it, these things are beasts!

[@chevo785]

Over here south texas by the border we ain't got no snow it's was chilly in the morning then midway sunny ☀️ toxic weather over here

[@KCars]

Always wanted to visit Texas. Thanks for watching!

[@trtcommunity9248]

Great video guys. I've always wondered how my stock '91 XJ would do in the snow. I figured it would do fine, but now I know for sure.

[@KCars]

They are awesome vehicles and it really surprised me. Thanks for watching!

[@stevetrbofox1549]

I have a 2000 XJ Jeep six and a half inch lift on 33s. Does good in the snow in two-wheel drive. But when you put it in 4-wheel high it pulls to the right... do not know what is up with it.

[@KCars]

Huh that’s weird. Mine pulls to one side whenever I hit the brakes hard

[@subroc22]

This is where I love my NV242 transfer case.

[@KCars]

💯

[@roberthuller]

Just wonder if anyone else noticed that the Ridgeline that passes the Cherokee at 8:23 looks an awful lot like the Ridgeline stuck on the side of the road at 16:11?

[@KCars]

I never even realized that but you’re right. Same color and has the bike rack on the back too

[@estebansobrevilla9499]

Broo its great, but stop wondering, have you ever pushed the gas pedal all the way down? It's fun, see what your jeep can really do

[@KCars]

I sure have, on the highway whenever it wouldn’t downshift

[@Confettish1]

Great video guys. These cars a like a Swiss Army knife. Would love to see you in the deep snow with those Extreme MT2 tyres. We bought an XJ from California and shipped it to Europe to use as a daily driver. Can't wait to drive to the Austrian Alps next winter.

[@KCars]

Thanks! You’re right about that, these things are tanks. Check this video out for a snow drive after I got the lift, wheels, and tires: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKLPZaJurrqna6c

[@2needey1]

Can’t do donuts..? I’ve had three, and never had a problem whipping it around.

[@KCars]

Sweet, I probably just needed to put my foot down more

[@johnmortimer7862]

My only request for you guys is to clean the undercarriage on that Cherokee. If they are salting the roads where you live, then the frame on that Jeep is going to rust very quickly. Keep it clean! XJ's are finally starting to fade away, we have to keep them nice!

[@gegernaut]

an amazing vehicle indeed

[@KCars]

💯

[@philipnestor5034]

Great video but what year is this Jeep Cherokee? It looks like a 2000?

[@KCars]

thanks! 2001

[@CodeKaneOutdoors]

My 94 Cherokee is at 242k miles and I finally blew my transmission but can’t wait to get it back to get back in the snow

[@KCars]

These things are so much fun in the snow, thanks for watching!

[@Deadbuck73]

It’s stupid January and we ain’t had a blizzahd in forevah… my Cherokee needs snow!

[@KCars]

I know I love driving this thing through a snow storm. Easily drives through anything effortlessly

[@Deadbuck73]

@@KCars they are awesome! Have safe travels and lots of fun! Just remember… snow is snow and ice is ice! Two different creatures!

[@KCars]

@@Deadbuck73 very true. Took my XJ out on some ice after getting the lift and mud tires installed and it was way different. Sliding all over the place

[@Deadbuck73]

@@KCars yeah. People get lulled into a false sense of security in 4x4. They think they can then bomb down the road in bad conditions… but like here in my stretch… they hit a lil ice and boom they’re in the river! But for the most part you’re going to get there!

[@KCars]

@@Deadbuck73 here’s the video with the ice if you’re interested, my favorite video I’ve ever made: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKLPZaJurrqna6c

[@RyanTreks]

If you use composite headlights (non-LED headlights) they will heat up and melt the snow/ice. Perhaps consider that option when driving in the snow. Then change back to the LED lights on all other days.

[@KCars]

That’s definitely an option

[@beurreqc1791]

Perfect for the northern Quebec winters! I will try to get one for winter (I drive a 02 mustang Gt for summer)

[@KCars]

I’d love to go somewhere up north where there’s a lot more snow and drive this thing around. I bet that mustang is a fun car

[@estebansobrevilla9499]

I took mine to the snow with road tires and it made and amazing job

[@KCars]

They’re a lot of fun in the snow even completely stock

[@AnthonyJonas-eh4fu]

There is almost no snow there I can’t wait to see how my xj does in the snow where I live we get 2-2.5 feet or more

[@carsonmeyer1772]

I have a 99 xj and it takes about 2 feet of snow to get stuck. Able to get out but it's not bad

[@KCars]

I wish we would’ve had more snow, this was nothing for the Jeep but still a lot of fun. Thanks for watching!

[@freddyflazh]

I cant stress this enough but please before anything just air down even dropping to 25 psi works wonders

[@KCars]

Didn’t have any issues with traction and I was in 2WD for a lot of this 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@freddyflazh]

@@KCars yes I understand great job by the way just trust me on this one airing down will save you but yes traction on any xj or wj like mine thats a cake walk

Just curious what year and how many miles you bought it with.

2001, 103k

@@KCars I'm looking at a 2000 w 47k on it tomorow.

So do y’all suggest 4hi for snow/ice? Tipsss driving in the snow with an xj? Supposed to get a snow storm in a few days and it’s been two years since I drove in it with my xj lol.

[@KCars]

4 high for normal snow driving and 4 low would be good if you’re stuck and trying to get out

[@keithbaker1951]

Lol my stock jeep will burn the tires off in simple rain.. not sure why you think the horsepower has anything to do with burning out anyway.. torque and gearing will make that difference.

[@theders8590]

Did you straight pipe it or it’s still loud with the muffler?

[@KCars]

No it’s not straight piped. I believe it has an afe power catback, that’s what I got it with. It’s not loud with the muffler in my opinion
