A Thank You To Jeep Cherokee Drivers & Sweet Wheeling Action!

- Jeep Cherokee drivers are incredible to watch. They push their Jeeps harder than anybody I know. They work with what they've got and beat the snot out of their rigs. I've been making offroad videos for six years, and whenever I need more footage for a video I know to look for the Jeep Cherokees. They ALWAYS do fun stuff and disregard their 4x4's body. Open diffs & missing windows, these guys just go for the skinny pedal. I made this video to give thanks to all guys that don't care about the chrome- they just want to wheel!

We gotta stay moving fast so we do not overheat. Need to keep the Airflow
Totally true. Mine keeps heating up unless i put the pedal down
Truest statement I’ve ever read
Holy fuck is this true in both my ZJ and my 4.0 swapped bronco
There's really nothing more amusing than watching a pristine built wrangler on 40" tires with a fat v8 plod down the path at one mile per hour, following the trail blazed by a stock cherokee with half the body panels missing and the throttle wide open.
sam rhino Fucking SEND IT BABY!
That is the funniest shit i have ever heard
Forget a crap v8 and get a jeep 4.0l highoutput it way better i have one stock 233,328 mile so fuck a v8
@@squidwarddiesel8462 look at my channel 274k
"low miles, never abused, perfectly straight, $8000 obo. NO LOW BALLERS I KNOW WHAT I HAVE"
Gerrad Reynolds
Oh my God, it's so true!!
A few dents..easy fix????
Not above 3000 that’s the unspoken rule for any xj owner
hahahahahahah sounds like a good buy..... swap for a clean low km tj?
Im with ya i have just purchaced one of my own 96 xj thats mint one owner that was a banker city guy i thought i would keep it but 8000 i would deliver it lol
This has to be the only video ever on youtube to have 99 percent positive comments cherokee squad
I'm 16 and I just got a 1998 Cherokee as my first car. My family only owns jeeps and I'm so excited to be a part of this community!!
Treat it well and it will treat you well. I bought mine 3 years ago at 17 years old and I do an oil change and filter every 3 thousand miles or every 3 months the only repairs I've had to do was brakes a couple of ball joints and a radiator replacement. Just today I found out my cps is bad so I'm replacing that tomorrow and it's an easy job. The xj is very easy to work on and super reliable. Congrats on your new used masterpiece of automotive technology.
I have 99 wj witha 4.0 with 280k plus miles I change the oil when I get around to it she still running
we just rolled my buddies Cherokee in a mud hole about a monyh ago. sat on its side for 4 hours and started right up when we got it over. no damage at all
Sure about that. Where's that jeep now ???
No frame roof support damage at all?
Ohhhhhhhhhh whieeeeeeeee
That Budweiser jeep was on the verge of snapping in half
The body flex is real here
If the hatch is gone then yeah.
It makes me want to go outside and hug my XJ.
I'm here just imaging a grown man leaned over the hood/windshield of his jeep as his wife is standing there looking from the walk way to the front door, possibly head in palm. He's just over there stroking the vehicle whispering, "Shhhhhh, don't worry honey, it was just a TH-cam video. I would never do something like that."
3 minutes in and i was already underneath mine to see how much the oilpan, rear main, transfercase and rear diff leaked
3:10
1. forget to pull pin
2. pull pin
3. aim at face
4. pull lever
That blueish green cherokee was awesome, stock suspension with blown rear leafs and still raging it
I liked the one when the guy beat the shit out of his jeep
kylemcgeever which one?
@@2smokerr973 I was thinking the same thing.
Lmfao
Craigslist XJ for Sale: Grandma owned/driven. Mostly highway miles, only off-roaded once. Needs new... everything.
8500 firm
Engine never been stressed before speaking of the engine you'll need to get another one as you mentioned that the buyer need new everything
I admire rock crawlers. These guys are rock bashers.
That having been said, the second generation Cherokees had almost ideal proportions for exploring off pavement. My wife and I seriously considered buying one in 1987 but she had much more of a lead foot back then than she has now. I was worried that if we got one with that inline six and If she were to drive it, I'd be buying a new pair of tires every couple of weeks.
I just picked up an XJ for my boys yesterday.... awesome video!!!!
TrailRecon love your vids
And how far it has come!
I just came from your video and the cherokee
Fellow XJ destroyers, please only ruin rotted out or wrecked Cherokees. Leave the good ones that are left for the history books.
No
Special Snowflake why? So someone else can actually enjoy it instead of me???
Everytime I see one in a movie, I know it's going to get destroyed. 😭
😂😂😂
16driver16 He means dont DESTROY and ABUSE good XJs with low mileage or good body, etc.
just use ones that are not the best aesthetically, maybe some rust and have super high mileage (like 300k) to abuse.
Hes not saying dont offroad good ones, hes just saying try to preserve them for the future. treat the good ones like Newer JKs.
I just bought my first 01 XJ I’m shocked to see how much they can take!!
Congrats! Have owned an 01since 03, still going, 258,000 miles.
Restoring a 99 cherokee classic 4x4 right now. Engine overhaul, getting the dents out, new factory color paint. Gonna take a while but I think it’ll be worth it in the end.
My first 4x4 was a 1998 Cherokee Sport. It was bone stock except for a good set of all terrain tires. Although I didn’t do any rock crawling I did take it down some pretty gnarly trails. That beast took me everywhere I every decided to go with the exception of once. The hole I set the front tires in that day turned out to be bigger than I had counted on. I’ve been sick for a few years and have no vehicle right now but you better bet I would be proud to have another Cherokee.
Man, I feel like you made this video just for me. After this weekend I ended up with a bent B pillar, a window that won't roll down, a door that you have to kick to closed, and a busted back window. all the wrangler guys were crawling through the rocks while I was doing full throttle hill climbs. I swear, an XJ on 35s locked f/r will go places that wranglers on 40s can't (or are too scared to). I've also been driving it back 250 miles each way to go to the nearest offroad park for the last 7 years.
jake32401 That's awesome man- and that's exactly why I made this! Where's your favorite place to wheel?
Big Dogs Offroad in Gore, VA is the closest place to me, but I've been all over. Last year went to Rausch creek in PA, Ouray, CO with NAXJA, and the year before that I went home to TX and wheeled at hidden falls near Austin. All are a little different but have some great trails... and the skinny pedal makes them all even better!
I need to get back to working on my XJ now.
Karve Overland I concur.
Ya me too lol
If anybody asks, I too will be in the garage...
5:19 that is not offroading... that is just another day in Northern MI.
I'm glad to own an old 95 Jeep Cherokee XJ.
Cacline72 2000 and a 2 door 90 love em
I had a 95 with a standard tranny, I drove it for 12 years and had 296k on it. Unfortunately, it got totalled on I-25 here in Colorado. I bought a 2010 Grand Cherokee and drove it around. It just wasn't the same though. My daughter is getting her license soon so she's getting the 2010, I went out and bought a 1998 Cherokee sport. Back to my roots LOL!
Great footage! Watching something as beautiful as a Cherokee take such a beat down is like watching someone take a wiz on the Mona Lisa.
Cool videos, but this is why XJs are a diminishing resource. I predict that people are going to learn that an XJ is something to look after and make last (while still wheeling lots of course), and not something to abuse and send to the wrecking yard prematurely. Look at what is coming of the assembly line these days! Self driving, computerized, uncostomizable, plastic !@# boxes. Once these vintage vehicles are used up, that's it. We are not getting any more. Imagine making do with a tupperware 2014+ Cherokee on the trail. Sad days ahead. - you don't know what you got till it's gone.
They made almost 3 million XJ's alone. But I hear ya. It'll be a shame when they're all gone.
You're right, you can still find a good XJ if you look, but it's getting harder and more expensive to locate a good clean one that hasn't already been cut-up and used-up. It's good to remember that there use to be millions of passenger pigeons too.
Mine will be around for a long long time.
Haha, mine may look like a raisin, but it will too.
Jason Argonauts I wheel mine mostly mud and trails I stay away from rock crawling but I can see it one day coming to the point of xj's being hard to find I take good care of mine while having fun
THIS ONE NEVER GETS OLD.... Had to stop back for a 3rd round viewing of this one.....
For those trying to set zj's and xj's apart, I've owned both and can tell you both are bad ass. Front suspension identical, zj's just come automatically with rear coils and have an option for a bigger engine and a few more goodies. Although I lean towards zj's after building both and also a yj (love my jeeps), zj's a bit better in my opinion, just a bit more cash to build but both are amazing done right!
yjjeeper1 idk man I also own both but my xj is my favorite I owned it the longest I’ve done the most to it but I also like my zj but it’s because it’s so clean I just hate the all wheel drive all the time
Dylan Rhode the 4.0 zjs had the good transfer case like the XJs
@@dylanrhode8663 just now seeing your response, sorry. He's right though, I've had the 5.2 all time and now the 4.0, and it has a much much better t- case and isn't all time if you don't want it. Not nearly as fast though lol.
I've got a 2 door 1989 Pioneer that I know is kinda rare already and whenever I see another 2 door on a trail getting beat on it's hard to watch without wincing, but man some of these stockers were really throwing down some moves!!!
You are welcome. Thank you for respecting our craft and kind sir. Cheers
As a ZJ owner I say thank you!
Likewise! Cheers!
I do all this then drive home and to work the next day
YEP, mines been to hell and back then I had kids and it's still my DD. I'v had scents 06' 😁
Yes!😂👌
Awesome vids. That Budweiser Jeep was sick tho. Pure savage.
I see a lot of people in jeeps with like 35s+ and big lifts but no lockers. I out front and rear lunchbox lockers in my XJ before i ever lifted it and it did wonders off road.
Ayyyyy I love these little boxes on wheels
My 95 xj is called the Battlewagon. I love her more than anything.
this video brightened up my day thank you, what a nostalgic piece. I just might buy a Jeep off Craigslist now for this reason LOL 😉
I got a zj last September and ive been loving it. im looking for another cheap one to use as my daily driver I think since the engine is so easy to work on.
Currently the owner of a 98 xj sport with a Chrysler 8.25 trak lock rear end. Was planning to keep it for only a couple of years max, but after seeing how many have been beaten to death I'm definitely going to do some more work. Luckily the rust thats there is still minimal, plan to completely remove rust/ paint and undercoat the underbody to keep it on the road.
I love to watch this, but at this rate the XJ that i bought from my uncle 4 years ago with only 89,000 miles on it now will be worth a fortune! Its a 94.
98 was rippin n havin a blast...made me smile
Just got into the XJ thing. In fact, Im going out to work on it now. Gotta have a working winch!
Us cherokee owners dont give a fuck. Cherokees are built to take hits with out failing. My jeep xj has never let me down.
Gotta love the straight six I have my own
I love my xj, and yes, we go so hard for some reason, we got to prove to them big ass trucks that we can and will go anywhere we please.
Tread lightly isn't a thing with Cherokee owners lol
floor it?
Yah. Pretty sure he said ‘Send it!’
makes me want to get another Cherokee!
Bonnie the Jeep I'm actually considering getting one for a cheap beater!
Berserker Offroad I've considered it too, but I just don't have the room, I'd have to sell off one of the motorcycles. And that's just not gonna happen
Bonnie the Jeep I'm in the same boat. Nowhere to store it and no trailer or tow pig.
Then please do please
What year was yours
love your vids....your channel is underrated I'm....please keep up the good work we appreciate u
+dameat9932 Thanks man! Making videos is a hobby of mine and I enjoy showcasing my local 4x4 community. I've got a lot of videos in the pipeline so stay tuned!
The XJ is the Best J.....Happy Jeepin from Western Pa where we Wheel everyday. Butler Pa Birth Place of the Jeep.
This video is underrated. Good shit.
Those 6 inline motors can sure take a beating
Miss my XJ.. looking to getting one next yr..
i just got a 97 4.0 with 305k miles runs strong just gotta take care of them and if your gonna wheel it expect something to break its just apart of it!
buk nasty and crew here love the videos its abou time Cherokee gets a good long video thanks
Thanks for watching man!
Budweiser Cherokee FTW. Proves all you need is 31" tires. but... where are all the WK2s?
This was great! Thank you 😊
IV got some play in my pinon gear..after watching this.im not going to worry about it..drive it till it quits..
I'd like to know all of the XJs currently registered. I know they made 3,000,000+ and im wondering how many are left on the road.
Special Snowflake I know two 4.0 xj in good shape it's a start
Road Kill ive got one too, soon to be wheeling rig. I remember there was a program for the UK that would narrow down how many of a car were on the road but i forget what it was called. Either way i wanna know in the US
Charleston sc has all the xjs and yjs
Special Snowflake i have mine with 89k. Never mistreating it.
have one in pretty good condition, lived its whole life (and continues so far) in Arizona so zero rust. I have and will make some mods to it but pretty minor and reversible, its not a perfect garage kept machine or anything so its not a pristine snowflake, but it is in good enough condition that I am very hesitant to do too much to it.
So I checked and made sure and I am THE only one who recognized the guy from BleepinJeep by his voice right at the end.
This hurts my soul but hell yeah brothers
Every oh and ouch hurt my soul internally
Hell yeah ! I miss my old 86 pioneer
328,000 miles on my 97 and it runs like a top. Doesnt burn oil, no knocks, no pressure drop at idle. At this rate itll outlast me. Lol
I have two 93 and a 96 countrys both runing strong
Awesome video
Just saw this video...I had a 1984 Cherokee chief shure do miss it.
Sweet delicious parts
That white Budweiser one was crazy af lol
thanks Brandon......confirms that giving the jk to my wife was the right move.
Lmao savage
There's nothing like a jeep period.
A jeep period sounds like an oily mess with the driver complaining about things nonstop.
@@jabronjunklove760 sounds like u never own one.we have 4 and none leaking anything.
Yes bro im on my 2nd cherokee i love them
man I wish they kept making these Cherokees,I have 3 2001,there like tanks
Your welcome bud us Cherokee drivers always put on a show
Nice job on the video!
I know i am commenting late, but do you guys know if the XJ came with locking differientials as an option? Or is this maybe just LSD that Im seeing in this video? Thanks☺️
They do take a beating!
Kids in Africa could've eaten those Jeeps!
LOL
?
@@UnknownUser-ff6wt it's an old joke. You must be too young to understand.
@@guy_incognito7538 wayyy to young
I'll take a stock ZJ or XJ with 33s that rub like hell and out wheel just about anything and have waaaay more fun while doing it! Only mods "required" cut sway bar end links and ratchet strap gas tank behind back seat, it helps to get rid of the glass too...
That glass has a tendency to attract trees.
Us XJ owners never disappoint. Because we feel bad if someone or something outwheels us on the trail so we just put the pedal down and give her hell.
When my buddy was going to mechanic school he said someone donated an already tired, early 90's 4.6L. He said they drained all the fluid and fired it up to see how long it would run. It ran for just under 7 min, bone dry. LOL
So awesome!!
These jeeps are in craigslist like never been trailed always babied
We really enjoy our XJ!
DAMN
MASH ON IT!!!! MASH ON IT!!!! MASH ON IT !!!!
You never see jkus goin hard like this 👍👍
Miss taking the 94 Cherokee out hunting the AZ pipeline all day without a worry if we would make it home!
great video
First vehicle i drove was a 1946 cj2a (at 9 yo) and was instantly hooked on jeeps I've owned 14 XJ\MJ's If it's already totaled or rusty send it... But leave the clean ones alone and Beat on the ZJ's all you want they are still plentiful...lol.....
My first cherokee was a absolute tank it had massive bull bar on fron light guards rock sliders and roll cage on outside it was the 4.0 tho n in uk its just unpractical very unpractical i have a diesel cherokee now i regret selling mu old one tho id love the parts off it, and tbey get anywhere people are surprised when i say i dont use lockers just trac lok limited slip diff because trac lok really works good and is nearly as good as a locker my jeep gets everywhere that my mates disco 1 with lockers does so i think alot of people underestimate jeeps they think if its nor a wrangler its not good but all old jeeps are boss any before 05
Love that first white jeep!! Thats how you wheel!!! What size tires and lift you think he has on that? That is the perfect size in my opinion and as you can see you can wheel the shit out of it.. I think the bigger you go the more prone you are to breaking parts. He running 3" on 31's? My guess.. Definitely not a RC LIFT . LOL..
What about us old school Wrangler drivers? Are we not crazy too? I feel so left out. 😭😢😭
Some good footage there. That was fun to watch.
BionicForester19 lol at first I thought you wanted a safe space. I like that old school Wrangler guys are more technical with their approach; they know how to make their Jeeps last.
Berserker Offroad
Call my wife and tell her that. She needs convincing. 👍
Wow! The only thing capable to destroy a Jeep is its own driver, not obstacles!Greetings from Costa Rica
How do you Americans always have v8 ZJ's? They're only 6cyls in Aus, the next model up comes in v8.
Strider only zj cherokees had v8s
@@jenlajeunesse1600 not true lol
Beau Brichan for jeep in the 90’s the zj was the only one to have a v8, that was never an option in the TJ or XJ
Those front driveshafts on the wjs always seem to go.
I love my renix 90 and my 91 limited. And I will keep dumping money in till the day I die. I never feel safer in any other vehicle then behind the wheel if my XJ'S
I need a beater xj like these lol
Hey Uhm there was a rock there. 😂
great vid btw ! ...thumbs from me
Proud owner of a 1990 XJ that's beat all to shit but a monster in the mud and a nice daily driving 1994 XJ
Awesome video! Where was most of it taken at?
+HIGH OCTANE FILMS Thanks! Kansas Rocks Rec Park by Mapleton, KS. They just added acreage.
Berserker Offroad cool! Just wondering. We never have done any wheeling in Kansas yet.
+HIGH OCTANE FILMS Kansas Rocks and Tuttle Creek are the big places in KS. Check out Southern Missouri Off Road Ranch. It's a wheeler's paradise with air conditioned shower houses.
Berserker Offroad I've heard of smorr, I've been to flat nasty and moonlight in Mo.
I must be a masochist because watching this hurts me so bad, yet I like it :)
