I'll be down in SF for vacation next week. I made arrangements for Saturday's Morning Flow class at Square One Yoga in San Leandro. The Guru said Morning Flow helps with flexibility while relieving stress. Jacqualyn's teaching, she's really good. Reservation is for two. Will I see you there? Come on baby, let's make this work.
Just give me another chance, baby. I promise. I can't make it without you.

Come on baby, don't be like that. I can make it right. Just tell me how you like it, baby. Tell me what you want. Oil filters? Thermostats? Engine mounts? Spark plugs? Butt plugs? Piston rings? I'll do anything you ask. I'll be down in SF for vacation next week. I made arrangements for Saturday's Morning Flow class at Square One Yoga in San Leandro.

Is that so. And where did you hear that? The same Nobel Laureates that insist that taking your doors off will make an XJ fold in half?

Although it isn't the years he stated (97-01), the cherokee did get rigidity added whether it helps with unibody cracking and Everything. I don't know but it was strengthened according to this "Safety refinements were added for 1994. Side-impact beams were now found in the doors, the roof was beefed up for more crush resistance and a center, high-mounted stoplight sat atop the liftgate. Air conditioning now used CFC-free refrigerant."

theyre not but like in 97' they switched from fiberglass rear hatch to metal. i know there are a few other things on the body that got strengthened and improved. the real body twisters are the 80's xj. supposedly they would flex enough that you couldnt open your doors when flexed out

Nope.
(although probably added for side-impact bracing)Not that much has been changed. There are no new brackets, tie ins, or anything at all different underneath in any JY XJ I've seen. The steel is the same thickness and the welds are done in the same manner. Older XJs will always out-twist a new one just due to rot and age. Fatigued metal = sloppy floppy.

Excellent. More crush resistance in the roof in 1994.
Nope.
Which while a great improvement still adds nothing to enhance rigidity. A bigger step in 1996 I guess was the addition of the front braces for the seats. Less torsion between the rockers and transmission tunnel

Most of this I'm just reading about, I know the doors aren't structural but I think there has been still some debate on the hatch area being somewhat structural. I'll maybe look into this more lol ill have to look at a early model and my 97' and see if the B-pillar are different. Idk its to early for me lol
