Default Any ideas helping on making my 2wd jeep cherokee better for offroad??

My parents didn't want to go offroad, so they bought me a 2wd jeep Cherokee. I still take it off but can't always keep up with my friends and their 4wds. Any ideas??!

locker, lift, good tires is about all you can do.
Learn to be easy and take your time picking a line.
Then transfer the title to your name and get rid of it.

Not really to much to do with a 2wd. A locker will help but don't let people fool you, just because its a locked 2wd doesn't mean it can go places a 4wd can. Putting a bunch of money into a 2wd seems like a huge waste to me. You would be better off saving your money and buying a 4wd xj.

my 2 cents? be thankful your parents provided you with a car.., and be thankful its a cherokee and be respectful of their wishes. your very lucky to have parents that would or could do that. know your limits w/2wd and ride with your buddies when those limits are going to be exceeded. but have fun
btw im a dad with 6 kids..., they all worked for the cars they drive.

not that they didnt beat the crap outta my cars till they got their own!
