the unibody frame of an XJ is actually stronger then the Frame of the Wrangler. And with welded on frame stiffners it will handle absolute abuse and last a lot longer then the wrangler. The unibody XJ can actually handle 3x or more torque per corner then older chevy HD truck frames. they tested it before and old 2500K truck frame can handle 370 pounds of torque per corner whereas the cherokee can handle up to 1400 lbs of torque per corner. there is a reason why most manufactures use unibody construction now. Wranglers and trucks are the biggest body on frame still.
Only good part is you can rebuild a wrangler from offline, whereas cherokee not so much.
