- 1st gen Toyota 4Runner and Jeep Cherokee XJ take on one of the more difficult off road trails Colorado has to offer. Putting new parts to the test while Rock crawling the Independence trail system. Which includes Liberty trail, independence trail, and Patriot trail. See if we make it through and what we break along the way!

Could you do a full walk around video on your Jeep? Absolutely in love with your setup. Just the right amount but not over the top. Keep up the vids ! Killin it
Thanks! I want to knock out a few more things on it and then I think a walk around video would be cool.
I've never seen a Rig make any one of these trails without body damage. Xj did pretty well. If you can get some rear quarter armor and an exo to tie into the stiffeners you'll be set.
Things are in the works!
@Machines Inc Nice.
Awesome job man. But you gotta ditch them buttwiper flares. With your fabrication skills I bet you could build some badass fender armor and flares like dirtbound
😂 it’s on the list. But these flairs are cheap and lightweight so did the trick. But they are cracked into a million pieces now.
Almost makes me want another XJ...
Bet a stock XJ on 31s could do it
@@machinesinc Might do, but I’ll bet a couple of lockers like your rig has would be a plus!
Twin lockers open up a whole new world haha
Did you just remount the old crusty sliderz? Looks like u had some ideas in the frame stiffener video, did you decide to shelf em? Between this video and that, alls I saw was a skid plate fab. Did I miss something?? Thanks!
Fwiw my xj had the same heavy ass midarm kit yours had. Solid tube "rockkrawler" (I think was the brand) 3 link. Horrible 3rd arm design with the shite upper link heim joint mounted with the bolt vertical (less than ideal).
Yeah I thought I made out Rockkrawler under the flaking paint. But couldn’t find any history of those kits on the interwebs. But yeah absolutely trash mounts, geometry, and joints.
For the sliders yes I reused the old ones. Cleaned them up and cut off all the old mounts. Next weeks videos will have some more details. If there’s anything you specifically want to see let me know!
Are you running a 30 or a 44 up front kinda hard to tell? Good video
44s front and rear, thanks!
What rear axle are you running?
Dana 44s front and rear
I have been there in my Jeep but it was snowing and the drop in looked intense so i left. What axles are you running?
Yeah that drop would be interesting covered in snow. I have Dana 44s front and rear. Both have air lockers, 5.13 gears, and Barns 4wd trusses.
Why does everyone run it from top to bottom?
What are you referring to?
