Pretty bold statment

This is a good video, this jeep is locked at least in the front and it may have a small lift, but still looks pretty stock. Listen to the guys trash talk this girl at the begining of the video and cheer her at the end.

I watched the video and I was impressed. Should've gassed it a little more though.

Lovin the vid's guys!! Especially that last one, i guess once you see it you really do believe it.

OAS I love the pics. In one of the last ones it looks like your rear is flexed out, did you disconnect the sway bars?

Ohh yea guys, any thoughts on that?? Disconnect the Sway bars or keep them connected?

Mr.JayDeeM · 08-27-2009, 01:55 AM

Remove the rear sway all together. I've been getting mixed answers about the front ones, some say remove it and some say leave it on.

huntingman2706217 · 08-27-2009, 07:15 AM

i dont have a rear and i didnt notice any difference... disconnect te front and see how it rides before u pull the whole thin out... mine will probly ride fine since i have no weight up high...

XJSETH · 08-27-2009, 10:39 AM

went to omaha Nebraska and back. never took it offroad till after i lifted it.

reddragon72 · 08-27-2009, 11:03 AM

I DO NOT CONDONE THIS AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!

with that said here are some guys that took a perfectly fine XJ and literally put it through hell and back. just watch the vid and you can see just how TOUGH an XJ is. BTW it took a little over 7 hours for them to kill the XJ. This is sad in a way, but it shows just how tough and XJ is.

and here is a funny vid to go with the whole hummer vrs XJ thing. :-)
has some stock XJ footage as well.

http://videos.streetfire.net/video/H...-Jeep_6609.htm

there are plenty of vids on streetfire. Also look for the XJ in the tubes, that one is pretty good to. search for XJ and watch then search for cherokee and watch even more!

Thanks!
Mine never had one.
It came with the factory "offroad" package.
One of the options was listed as "rear swaybar delete".
I dont think you need one on a Cherokee anyways, unless your making a 2wd street racer.

Think i'm gonna remove the rear one off my Bronco2 as well.

Nother shot of flex on that turn......

Mr.JayDeeM · 08-27-2009, 03:48 PM

I removed my rear sway bar today and I do not notice a diff but it flex soo much better now. Would it flex even better if the front are not connected?

Here a pic of mines. Almost tucking a rim. lol

Is there anyway i could tell if my jeep has the offroad package? Besides from getting underneath the jeep and looking

Also, where would the sway bar be located on the back? I dont wanna go unbolting the wrong thing........

Thanks again for all the help guys

huntingman2706217 · 08-27-2009, 04:20 PM

its a bar that runs across the back of the deep over the axle and alittle forward... its held in by 2 bolts and a U clamp to the frame on each end...

The military doesn't use Hummers they use the AM General HMMWV, or Humvee, and I dought even a highly modded XJ could match a HMMWV. As for the General motors made Hummers, about the only thing the can do better than an XJ is burn fuel.
