1959 VW BAja vs 1999 Cherokee 2wd.. hmmm...

In my opinion the Baja would do better than a 2WD Cherokee off-road, unless it gets high-centered. But a good driver could overcome that shortcoming before it happened. Witness the Baja 1000.
It has less HP but weighs a whole lot less. And it won't overheat.

I first hand witnessed a baja with long travel break front right spindle on the trail and we ratchet strap compressed left rear shocks to compensate.. long story short, he drove out of wash, up trail, and to highway on 3 wheels right passed the "hummer tours" you pay money to ride on down the same trail.. lol

Id say youre correct on baja vs jeep.

I believe it. On the Baja 1000 they finish with some amazing side-of-the-road repairs. My dad had a '61, and my brother had a '63 and they'd go anywhere, albeit not very fast, but they'd go. You might freeze in the winter but you'd get there.
