I love this! Cool installation too. That old rig hates to get stuck! Had me laughing for sure! Good stuff!!!
😅
Thanks, I appreciate it.
Thumbs up if you're proud to be a Cherokee XJ owner and part of the Jeep family!
👍🙂
CLEAN installation! congrats on the new winch - though I've never watched anyone work so hard at getting stuck
Thank you! Sometimes it's hard to get them stuck. 🙂
Great looking bumper and hidden winch you fabed together. Works fantastic for you too.
Thanks man!
The XJ had different ideas about getting stuck. lol. Great stuff man. Very clean install.
He didn't feel like it. 😅
Thanks man!
Very nicely done. The added gussets are a wise move.👍
Thank you! I wanted it for the look to hide the sharp edges. I love how it turned out. 😁
Slick install man!
Love your XJ
Thanks man! I appreciate it.
Really nice XJ mate. Greetings from Bulgaria✌🏼
Thanks! Greetings from Croatia! 🙋♂️
That's a great upgrade.
It is and I like how it turned out. Now I can be more relaxed in the forest.
That came out super clean.😮
Thank you very much. I appreciate it. 🙂
Nice work !
Thanks man!
So cool! So, in winch operation always in neutral? Or one can be on 4 wheel drive (High or Low) to help the winch?
Thank you! You can help of course, but I was curious so I put it in neutral and watched from the outside. 🙂
@@V8AmericanMuscleCar Nice. Waiting for the next video! ehehhe
Looks neat mate. What are you planning to do with the intercooler?
Thanks!
Why? Everything works the same as before.
@@V8AmericanMuscleCar just the lack of airflow, that’s all. I was considering doing a similar hidden winch setup to my diesel XJ too eventually but I don’t want to block the airflow to the intercooler.
Sorry to seem like I was critical of your design, I wasn’t meaning to, I was just curious.
@JeepinDownUnder no problem mate! The winch plate has the same holes as the sheet metal in front of the intercooler. Also, there is no more plastic under the bumper, so I think there is just as much air, maybe even more. I didn't notice any difference, so I think you can go for it. 😉
@@V8AmericanMuscleCar Sweet man, sounds great.
@@JeepinDownUnder Hey, I'm still waiting for a video of your turbo diesel XJ. 😉
Sweet 🪝 🧵
Thanks! 🙋♂️
