Jeep Cherokee(?)

I own one too, love the thing to death. It's a beast



But yes, that is definitely a Jeep XJ

I can't wait to drive the Suzuki Samurai in the game. I own 2.

My little Samurai:


And his big brother:

Nice! I always thought those were cool, kinda like smaller Wranglers that weren't overpriced. I've also seen quite a few offroad mags claim that they are the best budget wheelers, no doubt in my mind on that one.

Yeah, they are the cheapest 4x4's around, light weighted, a high reving engine. The only bad things are they have some weak parts, axles etc if you get pretty big tires. If you drive tires bigger then 33 inch axles snap pretty quick. But I've only broke one diff and a few axles and a gearbox so far in my whole off road career (12 years), just know when to stop and attach the winch to a tree. But I'm in love with my Suzuki's, I even had a lot of fights with my ex girlfriend about it.

33's are pretty much the max on the stock Dana 35 rear axle on the XJ's too. I have a Super 35 kit in mine (30 spline axle shafts w/Detroit locker). Came off one of my parts rigs running 36" IROC's so I figure that it will hold up to my 33's with a heavy foot . The Dana 30 up front is fairly tough though, I just have an OX selectable locker in there.

You do an axle swap with yours?

Nope, stock axles, but other gearbox and a lot of other mods. No lockers though, axle would snap too fast.
