There is a reason that CARS and not trucks/suv's are used for drifting.

Just wait until you start sliding and suddenly catch traction...........

Yes it will affect it. The effect would be a smashed roof. Like everyone else here has said. If you want to drift buy a rear wheel drive car and go for it. Save your jeep for offrod.
