I went to Elbe with my dad and his CJ blazer and yota buddies I got stuck riding with him running winch line! Decided that before I'm done wheelin I will get my cherokee through the hardest trail there! The busy wild! Any suggestions for anyone who has seen it what I should be lookin at doin!

 

I would say WINCH 36"tires and body armor.....I have 33" tires winch and dont care about body damage.I hit the holes hard and fast and I do brake but I carry almost another cherokee worth of parts....Good luck and let us know when you go.I might head out with you guys....

 

Haha so I thought i was the only one who didn't care about body damage yeah i have 33's winch homemade rocksliders and i usually always (except once at Evans) gernade my rear driveline most of the time not screwing up my yoke hoping to fix the axle wrap soon!. I always have extra parts too!

 

I welded a 1/4 plate on top of the perch that was a little longer.Those stock perches are real soft and bend real easy that causes you to get more axle wrap.(if you look at them they will be rounded on both sides not flat)After I did that i have not had a problem with rear drive line and I still carry extra yokes just in case....

 

Here is a pic of my body damage from last weekend




I built to beat it so I don't care if it gets a little beat up or alot

 

Let us know when you plan to run the Busy. I know myself, popcancherokee, and cherokeefever are all down for an XJ Busywild run.

 

I have a lot of work still to do. I am only locked up in the rear. My pa isn't locked up either but he has some better gears than me. I think I'm going to need more than just driving skill on this one I need a parts list of everything that broke with yall so i can make sure not to forget 3 of them all! I will definately let yall know when she is ready though.

 

Well if you run the busy with us we always carry lots of spare parts. Between popcancherokee and cherokeefever I think they could build an entire cherokee on the trail out of spare parts.

 

That's very good to know. I've always been the only cherokee out with the guys we wheel with. I'm the baby of the group open front smaller tires that aint swampers. I wish I could afford all the cool stuff for her but I make 9 bucks an hour and not that many hours so I do the best I can with what I have. If and when she goes pa can't take his we only have one trailer and tow rig so I have to sit out which gives us more time to work out the bugs I guess. I'm excited though!!!

 

Hey if ya plan a trip I'd like to ride along. My jeep Is still too small. Id like to get some video footage

 

absolutely I will let everyone know when were going but It'll be at least a few weeks works real shakey but For sure yeah my jeep is a little to small for the busy might take it on some other trails if i can come up with another truck and trailer

 

An few of us pride are selfs on driving to the trails, wheelin the **** outta are Heeps, then driving are heeps home. Outta 5 years or so of wheelin I`ve only had to be towed or trailer an few times. But that where you learn what spare parts you`ll need to carry alone. P.S It`s good to see an female XJ owner on here.

 

hey,
if you guys plan on runnin and there is room in a rig, ill grab a seat. mines not locked and even with lift and tires, i couldnt be heavy enough on the throttle. tim can vouge since he had to push me thru some of evens. by the way, thanks tim. WHATS BETTER THEN DRIVIN YOUR RIG TO WHEEL AND BACK?......A COUPLE DENTS TO SHOW OFF ON THE WAY HOME.

 

Haha I use to wheel at reiter before it got shut down always wheeled out front wheel drive I broke my u joint everytime or messed up my yoke id drive home like that or half way home then something else and have to drive paps rig home...We went once took my mom the only time she'd go and we didnt realize I had a broken axle wheeled like that for a trail till I couldnt go further...Evans was the only time i went didnt break outdrove some of the kids my age with better rigs and had a blast. Haha Cherokee is the best first wheeler Dads gonna cage me up soon so that will help

 

Just got word from an old friend of mine that he ran the busy wild very recently. And took his clean built cherokee and after he ran the trail it kinda looked like popcancherokee's jeep. I have pictures of it but dont know how to resize them.
