I have had a 89’ 91’, and now a 2001 3.5inch lift Cherokee. It’s ridiculous how Good they are off-road. My new one is crazy, And that’s why I can see people paying more than $10,000
Nice movie, and very good car. We are just starting our experience with Jeep XJ (well, it is more for offroad that daily usage) - some first movies already arrived on our channel. We are really charmed by our XJ!
If you don’t have lockers and need additional traction from all the wheels , turn your steering wheel to the left and right real fast. All the wheels sense that they need traction and they all kick in. A Jeep mechanic once told me that and it does work.
Pirate Jeep Productions right we just bought a set of tsl super swampers 31 11.5 r15 and we go so much further than anyone out there we have six guys and two have brand new reubicons one has a 98 wrangler and three have 98 and 2000 xj 6 inch lifts rear lockers and it all we have a 4.5 lift and super swampers and go way further than all these guys lol it's crazy what tires will do
it the word "need " that gets me you dont need anything yes it may be tougher getting from place to place without them but you don't actually "need" them
all of these comments but no one else has sggted the primary cause of bounce-back-moments such as the 07:26 minute or 08:08 minute mark? 🙄 Sure, an auto locker up front will always help but I wheel w lots of open/open rigs annually & far more critical to success on obstacles such as can be seen in multiple moments in this video is going considerably lower PSI in the tires. Even more than traction assists or tread ON the tires , proper deflation for a given rigs weight is nearly the biggest off-road performance item. it not only eases transition over an obstacle but enhances & becomes more integral to the live axle suspension. I know XJs aren't huge,heavy rigs but w/ that steel bumper & winch & likely recovery gear , this portly little Cherokee could benefit primarily from an additional 7-14psi released from each tire.Then, it'd tackle this terrain without something as insignificant as a felled tree impeding it's frwrd progress. Try it ; next time it'll be able to plop right over similar items. NOTE: W/out headlocking wheels , don't exceed lower than 8psi in the tires unless u can remind yourself to not throttle heavily in mid-turn or you could pop a bead ( no biggee but a slight pita). nice XJ, op😉
I have been preaching this for years. It is so hard to get people to listen. Airing down is free traction! If you watch my other videos you will see that our Jeep is always properly aired down. Not just for the added traction and smoother ride, but it lessens the impact on the environment. #viairequipped
ive got a 97 built xj, 6.5 inch long arm lift it goes anywhere, its unstoppable. Oh and I have an electric front locker. It's worth every bit of the $1000.00. :)
2:07 my thoughts would've went to "naw, I'll back up and take the dry road". This guy: lets get as far into the stuck as possible. Then proceeded to not get stuck
just got me a 99 xj 2 dr national park green it was a park jeep it has the 4.0 its the SE model i think just radio roll up windows etc but does have 4 wheel havent really tested it out like i want to yet n just hit 107000 miles today ive been driving it a lil just got the title transfered n got it for 2g lol
+Snickezboy789 i look at it. the guy liead like crazy. seaid it was zero rust. rust chips and out fiber glass on it to to say its zero rust. had this 4 times.
Caleb Cook One thing that is helpful is to search just out of your price range and you can find really nice jeeps but since the owners are being unrealistic you can talk them down to what you can actually afford. Also, money talks the loudest so if you have a stack of bills in your hand and you make a low offer they are much more likely to take it
Do a guy a favor when you guys make these videos tell us where you're at have a hard time finding trails in the state of Wisconsin anyway may have to travel
look I like your jeep, I would drive it, and I appreciate we all have bias thoughts towards things we put our energy into, but you have a lot of work to do and tires are way too small to be awesome as of yet.
Is $4000 for a jeep like this too much money? It has great suspension and solid frame but body's rough from sliding into trees. I want a daily/weekend jeep and I think I found one for 4k but like I said the body is pretty beat
It really has a lot to do with how the unibody is holding out, what is in the Jeep, axles, suspension, lockers, gearing etc... A great place to ask would be on our Facebook group. We have a great and knowledgeable krew that are always willing to help and answer questions. Check us out on Facebook: facebook.com/groups/PirateJeepProductions/ Cheers! jeff
He said he made sure He put the best steering on it being everyone gets death wobble in these and it was not cheap. He said the teraflex high steer knuckle alone was like $400 when He had bought it and that doesn’t include the one ton steering bars. 3.55 gears. Ax15 5 speed swap. The unibody and floor borders are solid as can be. Everything's nice and solid just has a beat up body
Jeepers. Take a $5000.00 dollar jeep and put another 5k in parts Viola the most capable 4x4 that will beat the snot of anything modern for $65,000 bucks guaranteed. This video does not show that though. Merry Christmas
I love the look of a 97-01 Cherokee.They are the perfect vehicle-- and if they still made them today, people would still be buying them.
without a doubt. ive been saying that fot years
Remember the commander? That kind of looked like an XJ too.. ;) But it wasn't so good.
+Thomas White i just shit my pants a lol
Furness Prime I like the 89
Furness Prime I also hate your profile picture
Awesome video Jeff, love the winching techniques used. Cheers
Great video, excellent driving, awesome sounding 4.0, beautiful scenery, superb winching skills, almighty XJ. Good stuff! From, Former XJ, 5.9 ZJ owner, Current 4.0 TJ owner.
Thank you David!! It is such a pleasure to get a nice comment like this once and a while! You have made my day!!
Cheers!
Jeff
Great video guys. Love the editing and simplicity. Cool winching too!
Awesome stuff. Great driving and winching technique.

If you step on the brakes it will help transfer power to other tires like a limited slip differential. Not perfect but helps sometimes.
Better to just have a limited slip in the first place.
Better to just have lockers
Didn't knew that one.
Thanks for sharing it
Yep. Thats old school lockers
I have had a 89’ 91’, and now a 2001 3.5inch lift Cherokee. It’s ridiculous how
Good they are off-road. My new one is crazy, And that’s why I can see people paying more than $10,000
The best 4X4 right out of the box! Leafs and coils equal stability!!
This vid should be an ad for lockers lol. Good work guys.
Nice movie, and very good car. We are just starting our experience with Jeep XJ (well, it is more for offroad that daily usage) - some first movies already arrived on our channel. We are really charmed by our XJ!
Excellent video......great looking xj to match....I'll take an xj any day over a wrangler. Just saying
In the very beginning that was the perfect way to shut you passenger mirror!
I like how you rigged up to move that tree across the trail.
If you don’t have lockers and need additional traction from all the wheels , turn your steering wheel to the left and right real fast. All the wheels sense that they need traction and they all kick in. A Jeep mechanic once told me that and it does work.
That mirror folding at the beginning is a big... ahh😂😂
Awesome video man, and wicked XJ! I like the winch and pulley system as well.
Awesome. Love xj's. Some mud tires would make a big difference.
very nice vidio thank you for sharing it with us i enjoyed it
Awesome trail ride looks like a blast
Whoa this is Daily? Mean awesome :) I have 4inch lift zj Daily, greetings from Poland!
Very nice! Looks like fun
What area are these woods ? Nice video , I just put a motor in mine and can't wait to take it on a trail.
Where are you located??
This is located in Northern Nova Scotia :)
I think I saw a big greasy Samsquanch.
It was just Sam Losco
D West #trailer park boys
becaused u used ur winch on that big ass tree, i hit like lol
because sometimes, you need a little rev limiter.
Do you ever wonder how many people saying you need lockers actually have lockers themselves?
das hasguns if you don't have lockers you aren't a real man
I feel sorry for these guys that NEED lockers to wheel..LOL
Pirate Jeep Productions right we just bought a set of tsl super swampers 31 11.5 r15 and we go so much further than anyone out there we have six guys and two have brand new reubicons one has a 98 wrangler and three have 98 and 2000 xj 6 inch lifts rear lockers and it all we have a 4.5 lift and super swampers and go way further than all these guys lol it's crazy what tires will do

I LOVE JEEPS
ya need some lockers in that bad boy ! it would be a lot more fun that way .................. ;- )
+SCHITHEAD7 5150 and front outer axle seals
Andy Ostensen yes sir ,,, that would be a huge plus ! but it`s a jeep , though as nails ! HAMMER THE SHIT OUT OF IT ...........
thats great tour !!!
Looks like you guys had fun! What State are you guys in?
Nice! Might be time for a snorkel
2:07 my thoughts would've went to "naw, I'll back up and take the dry road". This guy: lets get as far into the stuck as possible. Then proceeded to not get stuck
all the times that cherokee got stuck, imagine what a little more tread could of accomplished
Also it might help if it actually had some tread on those jeep tires.
Mike Carr It's probably AT
Nice! How many inches of lift and what is your tire size?
A lot. And big.
just got me a 99 xj 2 dr national park green it was a park jeep it has the 4.0 its the SE model i think just radio roll up windows etc but does have 4 wheel havent really tested it out like i want to yet n just hit 107000 miles today ive been driving it a lil just got the title transfered n got it for 2g lol
i can get one like it 4 door with 120 for 2500. is that a bad deal?
+Caleb Cook it depends where you live
+Snickezboy789 i look at it. the guy liead like crazy. seaid it was zero rust. rust chips and out fiber glass on it to to say its zero rust. had this 4 times.

Ya totaly agree on cash. I have been doing that also. But these days people think there 1k xj is worth 3k
What size lift kit and tires are you running on this Cherokee
What size lift and tires?
I love my 94🛠
Fucking love your car
looks like you could use some lockers.
RTFO great vid Jeff
needs a locker and better tires ?
Flowsmater ?
Do a guy a favor when you guys make these videos tell us where you're at have a hard time finding trails in the state of Wisconsin anyway may have to travel
love the video that log is bullshit i carry a cheap 50$ chainsaw for this type of shit..and think your helpinig the next guy....
Xj's rule, buy one if you still can!!??
nice vid
nice wheeling. what size tire and lift is on it?
Looks like a 4.5 inch lift with some fender flare cuts and guessing 33's, could be wrong on the tire.
where is this at and what state
Nova Scotia Canada mate!!
I'm surprised you don't see more mud tires looks like most of you are running all terrains but then again I guess you're driving this on a daily basis
It's better than porn.
adbuster
4 Liter 🤙 just send it
where is this trail located?
Beef Dog
Beef Dog 69
69
look I like your jeep, I would drive it, and I appreciate we all have bias thoughts towards things we put our energy into, but you have a lot of work to do and tires are way too small to be awesome as of yet.
I think it's also his daily driver so he can't go balls out
Jacob Beaumont nonsense. look up Nck LeBlanc and XJ Mike on facebook or Instagram. they daily their XJs on 1 tons and 40s
swedish??

Yeah I'd say that's too much has paid 3000 for my 97 that was in excellent condition
2 door 😎
nice
did dude realize how stupid his comments are... "a locker won't help if your tires in the air" lmao.. that's when a locker does help..
i think he was referring to the rear lol. if he had a front locker yes he would have backed right out of it
fucking sweet
Haha, 7777 subs.
🏴☠️🇺🇸🏴☠️
my jeep wouldn't fit through any of these trees

como hacer los estribos de cherokee
It’s crazy how people call these trash... tough talk from that new Jeep JK or JL that will NEVER go off-roading, just bought to look pretty smh
Mine breaks CONSTANTLY....
My Cherokee with Aussie rear locker (Dana 35) and Powertrax front locker (Dana 30) could EASLY go thru every obstacle in this video.
I doubt that weak Dana 35 is going to last long, especially with a Locker inside it
Awsome footage! The narrator did an awful job. Except when he was talking.
When you realize you should save up to buy lockers for the front and rear
Of course, cause EVERYONE has lockers front and rear eh!!
Pirate Jeep Productions hope you finally got lockers. If not, why have a XJ? Keep er goin
Lee Van Noy don’t bother.
You must need to more hp
had to stop once i saw no front locker.
David Sanders don't you want to get stuck
Typical xj. The door rods are awful and always fall off. Happened to my MJ and XJ.
Really? Ive never seen that happen before. I also have never experienced the hatch lock problem either. 😕
b
Tire chains
Que chófer tan bruto.! no sabe manejar una Xj..
