Did you try hitting the brakes while you were throttled up and spinning tire(s)? With proper technique it can make a difference.
Just like that? No ceremony, just a link to an unknown world... 
I like that also, but they seem too small for a family of three. My big issue is getting around after or during bad weather, need some ground clearance.

Put in my solid differential covers then took it to the rock gardens. Front differential took a huge hit from a boulder with paint chips but no damage to the integrity....I guess solid really lives up to its name

Not my cherokee, this is my brothers:
When he lets me know what broke I'll update all you guys.
He told me he blew out the main bearing. Anybody ever replaced one? How hard is it?

Finally took the damn mudflaps off! Sorry you can't really see them (or, where they used to be, to be precise) but we're in the middle of some beautiful New England weather, I neglected to take a picture in the garage, and I'm not getting soaked just for you guys!
