jeep cherokee XJ called, on the other line were the 93-04 jeep grand cherokees ZJ and WJs. they would like to have a word with you about stock SUVs and 4x4ing

my 96 grand cherokee did fucking Whipsaw with 1.5" spring spacers and a disconnected swaybar. both ways. without any trouble. the toyota pickup that came along had to be winched 3 times.

I know it doesn't, but a 4Runner or the like aren't the same as a modern SUV. Insurance may class them the same, but they are totally different machines.

And H2 frames are total shit, I would never trust one to do any kind of high-stress offroading.

that h2 got lucky. obstacles in moab like the escalator are about 90% about the line you take, and 10% the thing you're driving. theres so much traction in moab as long as you get your line right you're going to be ok. it also had the benefit of being wide enough to skirt the puddle in the middle of the first hole. generally if you keep your tires dry you make that climb.

and for every time someone posts that vid of the h2, theres ones like this to be posted.

I'm not even going to click on the video because i've seen it so many times hahahha.

I just like to play devils advocate.

And the Grand Cherokee's (yours when you did whipsaw), do they come with limited slips in em or are they open/open?

Depends on the AWD system you got. Theres many different types for jeep

I have a varilock in the front and rear axle, some WJ/ZJ's came with just a rear locker.

The new GC has Front and rear locking diffs aswell.
