This is chat is it not?

I posted up my enthusiasm and realization about how well a Cherokee can wheel with a little tweaking and little money spent.

Now if you want to make something more than what it is go right ahead.
I think a lot of threads are dumb in here. So what don't get in them. My opinion.

I have plenty wothwhile to say. I just choose not to say it. Theres already 5 pages of people who know better who tried convincing you that your views are about as wrong as can be.

I will be honest with you. I received the same treatment in advrider when I claimed I could compete in a national enduro on my klr650 ktmracer. By respected members who claimed I was full of it.

Well guess what, I wasn't. And I am not here either. I put my money on what I say. I back it up.

I may come off the wrong way but I mean well. And what I am saying is true. But if people want to get their street Jeep locked right out of the gate fine. Everyone had a different view of what they need.

If all you did was post your enthusiasm about how well a open diffed cherokee does on moderate trails nobody would be arguing with you. But you are claiming that your unlocked Jeep could go anywhere a locked Jeep could because your lift is sooo fine tuned.

The good news is awesome suspension can be had for next to nothing while air or mechanical lockers for a STREET Cherokee can be rather expensive.
define "awesome suspension"

Lockers break stuff,

and rob a person of precious engine power.
wrong
They are also hard on steering components.
sure, but to get up the same obstacle without lockers would require more skinny pedal and stupid driving, resulting in more broken parts. upgraded steering should be a required part on any rig that gets wheeled hard regardless. But without lockers, you can't be doing anything too intense anyway.

I'll put some money down. I'll put swaybars back on my locked rig, and you can have your 2" shortarm rig with stock shocks that is somehow "finely tuned". and we will wheel together on a variety of obstacles.

I'll pay you 1000 bucks if you can outwheel my jeep. I have lockers AND a fairly highly tuned suspension so that might be cheating

So 2 wheels take as much to turn as 4 wheels? So if this is true then the traction must all be the same?


I hope you live close because I will rent you a stock fj so you can try to prove your point.

Stock FJs have brake assist traction control and a rear LSD and will spin all 4 tires.

I was wheeling with one last weekend. Had to pull him through a couple sections. Why do you think I used it as a choice.

I told you I will back up everything I claim. But getting video will take a while. I will get some. I am starting to wonder though if you guys actually wheel. I know Mr white does.
