I'll be honest with you, I think any SUV would make a horrible rally car due to its high center of gravity. It'd be dangerous. They flip those Imprezas as it is. Can you imagine a Cherokee? I'm not sure you could make it low enough.

Be ready to spend some cash if you wanna have a rally jeep...
You really need to do some important upgrades for that project...

Did you read the part on this page where it says, "
So far, the engine and suspension are stock. I am running SCCA's PGT class so minimal modifications are allowed. I am running both front and rear sway bars in rubber mounts."

its cheapest to rally a stocker. less stress on everything. but just bc its all stock doesnt mean you wont be cracking/stressing the unibody, and are in general immune to other stress related breaks like bending axle housings, steering, front end stuff...

that SCCA XJ is running a full cage.
