Jeep Cherokee XJ on 37s Walk Around IceMan 

My new favorite XJ!

Nice build 👌

Great build my friend. I have a jk two door built to get onto any abandoned strip mine here in West Virginia. It’s my long range firearms shooting rig. Very basic, 2” lift done correctly with 32” bfg km3’s, not a rock crawler, just a Jeep specific built as a shooters rig. Thanks for the video!!!

Very nice work. 👍🏼

Nice rig brother. Thanks for sharing.

Looks good

Nice video 👍💯

I love your XJ! You have done an amazing job building this. Goals!! Thanks for doing the walk around. If you ever make a sticker of your logo Dean I would love to put one on my XJ!! ❤️🐞

Wow! Nice XJ! Please look at the Holly retro headlights. Can’t stand the look of the cheap lights😂

Wow what a nice rig. I have spent the last three years saving and putting parts and money away doing alot of the same exact things as you. I will be sitting at 10" of lift rusty's long arm setup I pieced the whole lift together myself and was almost spot on with my predictions the one thing I did different and is beyound words amazing was I bought and properly installed an exact contouring unibody stiffener kit from IRO and two other companies for a couple finishing pieces and had then welded by a welder friend of 35 years experience professionally so it is ready to take all the abuse and not blink that is the only thing I would like to see on yours is a full front to back and rear and front stiffener tie in kit and yours would be off the chain different in how it drives feels and performs I gaurentee you that.

Awesome build, would love to have an atlas

Do you need more bump stops in the front? Also what length travel shocks are you running? I'm building my xj very similar on 37s with round 7" of lift and 12" travel shocks up front.

Do you know what atlas case I need to order for my xj? Also how did you setup your e-brake after lifting?

Are they rustys 8in coils up front with the JKS bumpsstop? Or a 6in spring with the bumpstop? Sweet xj I have mine on a built and trussed Dana 30 sitting on 33’s with 6in long arm lift. Thinking about 35’s 8in lift.

No cage? Living on the edge!

You don't see too many XJ's on 37's. Its just so hard to fit that much tire. I just moved up to 35's so i have a lot of clearancing to do. :)

do you know what width axles those are. im trying to build mine but put crate axles in it and there are multiple different options for width

Really nice rig, bud. Alot of people say that much lift is too much for an XJ, but mine is at 7.5 inches and rides fine. I don't have sway bars attached, but then again I don't drive it like a sports car either. That stance is perfect for 37s. Are the 44s junkyard swaps, or crate axles? Any steering issues? I think my ball joints or unit bearings are going out. Both outside edges on the front tires are very worn. Great XJ!

Does the seat bottom lock down with the highlift under it?

How difficult was the Atlas swap? Any issues with crossmember or speedo?

How are the 4.88s and 37s? I'm thinking about moving to 37s from 35s and I have 4.88s I'm a little worried about on road performance I really want to be able to drive around on the road we go on long trips and stuff exploring It sure is a hard choice to decide on 37s or 35s I have 15" hutchinson wheels and I don't want to go 17 I like my 15s they have the proper offset for my build and are lighter weight. I have a big brake kit stuffed in there and everything setup nicely for my 15s so my only radial tire options are a few tires from interco like super swamper irok, tsl, ssr, truxus, etc or pitbull rocker radials. There's a toyo mud terrain which would be great but it's only available in 14.50 wide for the 15" rim and I feel like that's too wide. I can fit 37s no problem it's just a really hard decision. I have custom built axles from ECGS they can handle 37s no problem.

what are the optinos on the atlas tcase? i've been thinking about buying one, just haven't seen many of these swaps with an xj with a ax15

This Jeep XJ is fucking badass. Would you ever sell?

Are those custom rock sliders?

Make and model of rear tool box?

Do you feel that the 4.88s push the 37s well enough?

Do you live in Oak Hills? I live by Baldy Mesa.

All that work done and no frame stiffeners?!? 🤣🤪🤢🤡..... the absolute VERY FIRST THING that should be done to any xj project! Sir I suggest you put this to the top of your future plans list mid front and rear
