[mason0392]

Damned open diffs... I feel your pain man :[ (See you on JeepForum: mycreativename)

[twomuchtalk10]

I was there that weekend. Didn't see you guys. ???

[escape4wd]

@twomuchtalk10 Just at the wrong places at the wrong times I guess. lol

[520bulldog]

Is this a I6 or the V8?

[escape4wd]

@520bulldog The good 'ol I6.

[520bulldog]

@escape4wd Cool.I cant wait to get myself a 6 cyl WJ. And all these videos just make the wait even worse!

[modest80884]

I've seen this WJ before. It was on a website selling that bumper. Looks nice

[taiwoo]

your on jeep forum.

[escape4wd]

@taiwoo Yep. I'm Bama_WJ on JF.

[jakesimmons815]

lol just put it in 2

[FUNKieMONKey55]

Those lights are absurd

[escape4wd]

@lDailySmokerl IRO (Iron Rock Offroad) and Zone Offroad have pretty well reviewed 4" lift kits for around $700. You can upgrade to the IRO 4" long arm kit for like $1400. Worth it in my opinion. The locker is around $275. I have the Aussie locker in mine, but they aren't made for the Dana 44a anymore, so you have to go with Spartan locker if you have the 44a rear axle. If you have a V8, you will have the 44a rear axle.

[escape4wd]

@lDailySmokerl Something in the differential that puts 100% of the engines power to both wheels. Makes a world of difference in traction.

[jrxjjeep]

I own a XJ & WJ I have never took the WJ off road looks like it dose ok.is your WJ all wheel drive?.Nice vid bro.

[escape4wd]

@jrxjjeep Thanks. My WJ has the 242 transfer case, so its the selectable 4x4 not the AWD 247 transfer case. But yea, it does pretty good with a locker and a decent line.

[jrxjjeep]

@escape4wd so it the selec trac.not all wheel drive.cool bro.i had a 97.it was bad stock.I LIVE I RIDE I AM jeep bro.but i love my XJ.only in a jeep bro.

[CountryBoy1571]

dude take them road tires makes you look like a wanna be off roader

[escape4wd]

@CountryBoy1571 And MTs would make me look like a real off roader? Please. They were decent ATs until they had 40k miles on them. And MTs aren't the best when you got to drive 98% road/highway. Thanks for the insight though...

[CC01FJ40]

Very nice! I just bought a 2003 WJ and I was wondering what front and read bumpers those are? They look awesome on there!

[draarong2004]

u need some better tires....otherwise not bad, still looks like a stock jeep to me though

[sdeckamsoil]

Where is this at I would like to test my zj there

[escape4wd]

@sdeckamsoil It's at Badlands Offroad in Attica, Indiana.

[04Cherokeebruiser]

you need to get some lockers bro

[escape4wd]

@04Cherokeebruiser I have a locker in the rear axle.

[AussieStatistic]

"american acent"i feel like i need to powerbrake to get this back end around. Hahaha golden... Nice lil trick mate we call it a stoppy or a stand still here.. Like ya wj its not to bad but the color chooce is a lil off should of got a black one.. Oh nd u should of got a limited instead of a lerado

[WJguy420]

nice dubya dude. what lift you running? throw some muds on there and youll see a HUGE difference in performance.

[escape4wd]

@WJguy420 I'm running a 2.5" BB with the factory UpCountry springs. It's probably only a tad higher than 2" now with the bumpers on there. But yea, I'm in the process of saving for more lift and better tires right now.

[WJguy420]

@escape4wd nice, i got mine on 2" springs from BDS running 32s... they rub a little at full flex, i havent been able to disco my sway bar yet due to my POS Rezeppa-Rezeppa shaft. probably just gonna get a ZJ driveline and yokes.

[careks]

Nice WJ, I really want to test mine off road also. Now only street driven with a 2" lift.

[sk8erMan716]

hey man where did you get those rock sliders? iv been lookin every were for wj sliders

[escape4wd]

@sk8erMan716 Got them from JCR Offroad.

[alwaysanthony]

lol for shitty driver.

[escape4wd]

@alwaysanthony lol alright

[buck1905]

WTF happened at 2:05

[escape4wd]

@buck1905 The mode the transfer case was in essentially acts like an open differential. So both driveshafts can spin at different speeds. Its the same concept if you lift one wheel off the ground on an open differential axle and the one wheel in the air just spins and spins while the wheel on the ground does nothing.

[buck1905]

@buck1905 noo i ment the flash the camera man shot was like a lazer beam

[akrackenberger]

The tube exit used to be a lot deeper, now it is set up for anyone to do it.

[escape4wd]

@akrackenberger Yea, for sure. I know there is a video of a XJ on youtube doing it and it was almost completely submerged. lol

[slammo10]

those are some big ass blue lights

[tripovermyego]

at 1:03 when the camera man walked around to the other side, i seen your tire was the other way and at first watch I thought maybe you had busted something. I didnt see til I watched it again that you had turned your tires lol

[WJDave]

What bumpers do you have on there?

[escape4wd]

@WJDave They are from Kennasaw Mountain Accessories. They are a small outfit right around Atlanta, GA.

[drwolcot]

is that grinding noise because of your different gear ratios?

[escape4wd]

@drwolcot No, may be the transfer case not want wanting to go into gear. I will get stuck sometimes in between modes.

[buck1905]

@escape4wd make sure all your tires have the same air pressure and you should be fine... my wj did it before to =[

check out my vids

[jeep98xtreme]

all you need is some mud tires. Do you have any lockers on it?

[escape4wd]

@jeep98xtreme Yea, I got a rear locker. Open front.
