Jeep Cherokee XJ in snow 1-17-10

[HFLanciaStratos]

I've always wanted a Cherokee for some reason.... always.

[xXUSMCGRIFFXx]

What kind of muffler is in you XJ? Not sure if it's just the audio quality but it sounds like a glass pack...

[kx85kid12]

Do you have stock gears. And how bad will the tires wear if I get a rear locker ?

[kx85kid12]

@kx85kid12 Wrong person I'm on mobile sorry

[kx85kid12]

@streetta Do you have stock 3:55 gears?

[streetta]

Best looking Cherokee everrrrrr !

[brubakes]

Looks good!

[VDUBnJEEP]

That's clearly lifted 3-4"

[freakon4leash]

one sexy jeep

[tralfamadorian42]

did you lift it yet? if you haven't yet, i wouldn't! Looks awesome like this, and looks like plenty of clearance. Nice vid!

[DreAKAUrkel]

What was the height of your jeep in this video. I like how it looks.... Sorry, I am on my other YT name. I need to do a lift on my jeep and I like the setup on this one. The package is nice and looks like the same color as mine.

[123abcpa]

I got some Vbar chains for my 4x4 this year. I dont plan to be stuck. nice video

[cowboy52625]

what color is the jeep?

[KeepItRoostin658]

if you decide to get a locker get only a front axle locker if this is your DD cause you wont be in 4x4 during daily driving so the locker wont mess your tires up no were near as bad as if it were a rear locker. Youll like a front locker 10x better.. trust me. Nice XJ.

[JeePolaris]

Awesome video man, I really like your rig!

[MrAndreHunt]

I bet if you took some of the air out, it would have had more traction.

[hybridredneck2010]

What type of headlights are thoughs? And what size tire?

[alex59606]

nice engine sound :)

[killeremail]

Im not trying to be a dick but how much snow was on the ground. Didn't look like mire then 3 or 4 inches to me.

[rapraptortor660]

@killeremail your definitely trying to be a penis.

[bdaddy23]

@killeremail yeah that is about all it was, just for fun and to make some tracks on some local trail we found that is not like a paved road. :( I wanted to make a video with my friend as well.

[wannadieessay]

@bdaddy23 In this video your jeep is stock suspension? what tires and size are they?

[dupa333jelenia]

@bdaddy23

One of the better looking Cherokees I have seen. Soon I will post mine. When its done :>. What headlamp mounts are those?

[bdaddy23]

@dupa333jelenia sweet thanks. they where made by Gecko but I think they are not in production anymore. some people copied them and where selling them for a while but no more. look around they look so simple to make or have made.

[dupa333jelenia]

@bdaddy23

Got them! Thanks. You are right, those are easy to make. And I was expecting rocket science :)

[dupa333jelenia]

@bdaddy23

One more question - where did you put the connecting cable for the lights? Inside the A-Pillar? If so, how did you seal those?

[bdaddy23]

@dupa333jelenia you should drill a hole and go into the cab and seal it with silicon but I was lazy and just have the wire coming under and in the door lol

I plan to change it when I get some good lights.

[hammoudy1300]

does that thing really sucks on gas mileage , i mean i drive in a really efficient wise manner and i need to get this car !! is it really horrible like most ppl say ?? talking about the jeep cherokee 4.0L engine

[Flazz432]

nice ride

[olooee]

he's a beauty *_________*

[addictedtos10s]

junk tires and diff's but nice lookin jeep weld those diff's until you can get some money to buy some lockers

[bdaddy23]

@addictedtos10s tires where brand new BF g Mud Terrains they are not junk and I would never weld my diffs as I still drive this on the road and dont want to tear my tires all up for no reason. I since have lifted my XJ to 6.5" on a long arm setup. it is like it has 2 lockers now without them. lol

but still I am upgrading my axles now and installing a rear locker. (maybe a front someday down road)

[chillenlikeafool]

i just got a boner. this is cool man

[92XJlaredo]

way to go on gettin outta that creek, good bit of driving :) nothing spectacular here but plenty of guys woulda went into panic and held it to the floor haha kudos, badass jeep too btw!

[rockmerewoodsman]

awesome. where is this at bro?

[bdaddy23]

@rockmerewoodsman just a local trail me and my buds found in Bolton but it is closed now due to new construction

[halflife103]

are those albertain plates?

[TheSmilinace]

Your Jeep just makes me want to make my stock cherokee look like that- i just dream of my cherokee with the perfect stance

[Spooner4040]

Where did you get the hood louvers?

[JeepWagoneer1989]

nice jeep.....where did u get the brackets for the lights beside the windsheild ive been lookin for set a cant find any

[jeeepxj2001]

@JeepWagoneer1989 yeah i like them too and i was gonna ask the same question

[DeerHunterr08]

when you keep getting stuck on that log/rock, should have backed up a lil and gassed it, bumping up and over it

[300zxnovaman]

what a front and rear locker would do for this jeep :)

it would be amazing :)

[geotracker4x4]

love the cherokees but got to stick with my wagoneer ,its a classic lol 6in with 35s !

[01hightechredneck]

its not an xtreme trail to most but it some of the best wheeling i find nice jeep i just bought my first the other day any tips for a lift ? i would like to go for 31 or 33s

[bdaddy23]

@01hightechredneck cool thanks man. 4" lift good for 31's and 6.5" lift good for 33-35's with trimming

[ChristianJames6759]

@bdaddy23 how you liking that lock rite locker?? any noises???

[badmunkie513]

@bdaddy23 You can run 33s on 4in lift EASY with a little trimmin, I like the low COG so i run 4.5in + longarms / 33in km2s locked front and rear,

Ive seen 35s on 4.5in with trimming, And not extreme trimming either,

[doctorphate]

@01hightechredneck Trim the fenders a bit and you can run 33s on 4.5 inch and same for 31s on 3"

[badmunkie513]

@01hightechredneck a little trimmin and run 33s on 4.5in, other wise 31 or 32 on 4.5in no lift,

When you go above 4.5in it gets more a little more expensive cause you need custom shafts + sye just too be able too drive right

[bdaddy23]

@badmunkie513 good sound advice. anything over 4.5 and you need custom rear drive shaft and a SYE (Slip Yoke Eliminator) Everything badmunkie said is true, 33's on 4.5" you will need to trim the fenders higher up. If not the tires rub really bad and can really damage the body and tires. for a basic 4.5" lift kit and no trimming you can fit 31's no problem and have it still look aggressive. with 6.5" lift you can run 33's with out rubbing. if you trim a little & bumpstop you can do 35's.

[bdaddy23]

@badmunkie513 A lot of people say you can run 35's on a 4.5" lift kit and this is true as well. You need to cut the fenders a decent amount and use custom bump stops. Some people like this method because they say you get a lower COG (center of gravity) but doing this method gives you almost NO up travel on the suspension. it would be all about the droop which is awesome and I have a lot of it but up travel is important to absorb impact. I could run 35's but know I get more flex with 33's

[bdaddy23]

@badmunkie513 I just realized this video of mine was before I installed my 6.5" Long arm lift kit. In this video above I have 4.5" custom (crappy) lift kit and 33's and the bushwacker fender flares, and I still rubbed the bushwackers really bad because the big tires and not enough bump stop. So I would just wheel it with the sway bars still connected. If I disconnected them the tires rubbed bad. But this is how the jeep came when I bought it except the tires I bought those. then I lifted

[badmunkie513]

@bdaddy23 That must be one super low quality lift lol

I run 33in km2's on 4.5in rustys short arm, front and rear trimed and can flex pretty damn hard without rubbin,



[bdaddy23]

@badmunkie513 It was from the previous owner. It was a big coil spacer with some non stock coils, and rear had a shim and bastard pack with drop shackle. It was sagging pretty bad all around as well and the bushwacker flares actually limited my up travel. Yours with trimming makes it flex like that and the lift kit is better than the crap that was on my jeep when i got it. haha

[20080915]

Very nice rig!! What kind of bumper and tire carrier is that?

[dirt3964]

Drop your tire air pressure to 20 psi and your crawl right over all of those logs give it a try.

[CumminsCrazedredneck]

give it more gas over that rock.

[dieselfanaticIN]

where did you get the light mounts?

[edwardatwill]

I'd say I'd take that jeep in a heartbeat.

[zach5tray]

[bdaddy23]

[anton62712]

[TpMaster23]

Sick jeep dude, mad props.

Thats what I have, or is yours 6.5 with 35's

[bdaddy23]

@TpMaster23 this os an old video of mine my current lift kit is 6.5" long arm with 33" tires. this was 33" tires with like 4" lift.

[bdaddy23]

@TpMaster23 I looked at yours it looks tall! :)

[roundtopsk84eva]

nice jeep, nice song. and i am looking to get one of these or a diesel truck, wat kind of mpg do you get with the tires and everything and is it stock except the seeable?

[StrainingDingelberry]

how did u mount those lights on the window i want to do it

[hospitalXbedXtv]

how big is your lift kit?

[hospitalXbedXtv]

how big is your lift kit?

[roth121]

nice video  how did you do the spotlights ?

[aaronready1]

man, nice jeep man. looks great, would love to be able to go through that kind of stuff with my jeep, you have lockers or anything??

[conrad346]

You call that snow 1inche

[Matisyahu]

Where'd you get your hood louvers and how much work did it require to install them if you don't mind me asking?

[m1brett]

lol nice BFMV

[wbt992]

nice jeep man. i have been thinking about getting a 4 inch lift on my 2000 Cherokee and have been trying to figure out a good tire size. I was thinkin about 32's but do you have any rub with those 33's?

[bdaddy23]

thanks bro, yes I rub a lot in the front. I hate it.. this is how I bought the jeep though. it came with 33's but they where bald so I bought the BFG 33's but still rub ya know?

so I purchased a 6.5" RC long arm lift kit. I am waiting for the weather to get warmer then I am installing. I sold the RC shocks and Im buying bilstein 5150 shocks.... for you not to rub with 4.5" lift 31" tires or 32's if you dont mind cutting a lot go for 33's

cheers!

[hffdkl]

@bdaddy23 Nice Jeep. The rubbing is a Problem With the Cherokees as you can only do an SL which Gives you better Articulation with only a little bit of room for Bigger tires VS a Truck Were you can do a SL and a Body Lift (like the Wrangler)which gives you the Articulatiuon and of Clearance for bigger tires.

[bdaddy23]

when you say SL is that spacer lift? if so thats not all you can do at all!

I have a 6.5" long arm kit I just need to install it.

there is no spacer in that lift, just taller spring a lot of hardware and taller leafs for the rear.

[hffdkl]

Sorry I am used to all the short hand on all the wheeling boards. SL is Suspension Lift.

[leofrizbonnie]

@bdaddy23 coulda been he was saying suspension lift... are you on CF?? i think i remember seeing a rig that looked like yours on there...

[bdaddy23]

@leofrizbonnie Yeah I have a build on CF where I am installing my Long Arm kit.. :)

[th3s41nt]

man if i went in the woods where i live the forest service would be all over me. but nice video. gonna be getting me an hd camera cause the current one i have now sucks. you got nice clear picture.

[hsv1000]

great vid 5 stars, one very nice looking jeep

[thebluexj]

yooo i love the lights on ur window were did u find them ???????? nice xj to man

[bdaddy23]

company was called rock lizard and they do not sell stuff any more i think.

[Rolle900]

lovley Jeep, i will sone by me a Jeep Cherokee Limited 1990 here in Sweden :) can't whate to take it out for a spin =)

[jdmtom1]

where did you get your spare tire carrier at?

[bdaddy23]

It came with the jeep when I bought it off a friend, but quadratec sells it I noticed. It is a olympic tire swing out mounted to a olympic rock bumper. thanks

[jayjelectric]

what size tires r those, and how much is ur rig lifted?

[bdaddy23]

bfgoodrich Mud 33"x12.5x15 and the lift is like 4" but sagging in front.

[XBaneyX]

What color is your Jeep its hard to tell?

[bdaddy23]

@XBaneyX its a steal blue pearl, code PBQ

I love it!

thanks

[lacrosseman706]

rough country sucks...and i would get front diff lockers before the rear..front climbs shit first

[bdaddy23]

the new rough country stuff gets great reviews and they have 100% customer satisfaction.

I would still be able to drive the jeep on the road in the snow with a rear locker but not with a front thats just stupid.

[lacrosseman706]

electronic lockers man

[bdaddy23]

yeah I cant afford that yet.. i was just thinking a mechanical locker for the rear to start. that would give me added traction. but yes you are totaly right, the front climbs first and needs to be locked. someday maybe.

but noy in my LP dana 30

[Scorch1007]

nice jeep! what psi do you have the tires at? it looks like you could make them a bit softer

[MuffHugger4g63]

Awesome vid bro. Love the XJ crunching through the ice.

[diegobobcat]

Really nice Brian! you're lucky to own this car and to have a lot of snow! Very good car!!!!

[bdaddy23]

thanks Bud, yes I want to lock the rear diff someday with a lock rite locker or something like that. It will put added stress on the gears, but if I drive it right it should help me to get through stuff easier.

thanks my friend

[nickhpiracing]

amazing car my friend what changes do you have in this car?

[bdaddy23]

@nickhpiracing A lot my friend! A lot! I may make a new video once I install my lift kit and go over everything done to this so far. :)

[nickhpiracing]

@bdaddy23 ok i am thinking to buy this car but i am thinking the 4000cc is too much and this needs a lot of fuel...haha..what do you think?

[bdaddy23]

go for it

[C0LEgasmaxx]

sweet! love your jeep! cool video too!

[bdaddy23]

@C0LEgasmaxx thanks a bunch :)
