Default The jeep cherokee frame strength?

so how strong would everyone say the cherokee uni-body frame style is???

i've seen tons of videos and i've seen many of my friends beating their XJ's till they are black and blue... and never have frame issues.....

any experience with these "weak link" chassis please let me know... or even how much you've put your XJ through and haven't seen issues yet

Unless you remove the seats/carpet, and inspect where the unibody and leaf spring mounts connect, you may think everything is fine.
Basically, you can beat the hell out of anything, but that does not mean you are not tearing the heck out of the rig.
Don't go thinking it's "all that", if you plan on using your rig, reinforce it.
