Straight axle 2WD Jeep Cherokee XJ!? Justin Wyche has honestly built a very good prerunner out of this XJ and we think he's pioneered new ways in making a go-fast Jeep. Also, Justin did this all in his driveway. This is going to end up being a 2 part episode because of how much detail went into this and how well Justin explains the work and thought process he put into it. You guys have been asking for this and we hope you enjoy it.

We need more “affordable” home built builds like this one

@anthonyolsen9299 3 года назад

It's not so much affordable home built... It's weather you have the skills to build at home.. and honestly a lot of terra crew trucks n cars are home built.. my Prerunner is almost done..90% of it at home..still cost me 50,000

The analogy with the broomstick was a great way to tell people who are just getting into off-roading or even just into vehicles, it helps them visualize with an everyday “tool” most people have in their house.

Broom handle analogy was great. My XJ has drop brackets from Trailmaster from 2000 when there wasnt much aftermarket available. Its been through jack, sledge, claw, outerlimits, wreckingball, upper johnson and its held up grinding over rocks. My jeep needs TLC and I think I will steal some of your front suspension modifications.

i have a 96 xj and i noticed your air box gets its air from the front hole. people don't know there is a cut out you can get fresh air from behind the light. there ie a cover you have to unbolt 2 screws to remove. i use a old vacuum attachment to fill in the gap. glad to see im not the only one who found that.

@jvogler_art4708 10 месяцев назад

Really interesting and different build path for this vehicle. To see a straight axle 2wd prerunner with the spring and shock separate as well as a floating foam bump stop.. never seen one built like this but I’m a Toyota fan so I don’t know much about XJs. I can tell a lot of thought and design went into this and the information on a build like this is very scarce. Interesting to see how he arrived at the choices he did.

I prefer the 4-door because I like having passengers and you can say what you want it is easier when there is a back door for the passengers to get in instead of them having to climb through my door but the 2-door does look good as well if it's a square body Jeep Cherokee I love it no matter how many doors it has

@dougtond1380 3 года назад

Wait. Why would the 2-door chassis be stiffer than the 4-door??? I figured it would be the other way around due to an added pillar

@Jusrin21 3 года назад

Im no chassis engineer but the way i look at it yes there is another pillar but it is very narrow and not that strong. it also has 2 huge openings where the doors are that in my mind allow things to flex. i think of it like a soda can with 2 holes cut in the side vs 4 holes cut in the sides. the one with more holes is going to be way easier to crush.

James.. Since you're an RC fan, can you pleeeease do a video on a Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) Prerunner build like Ivan Stewarts 94 PPI Trophy Truck.. I remember seeing a Tacoma garage build with 19 w/t using IRS 6-7 years ago at Pismo and it blew my mind.

@CodySnell_87 3 года назад

the bodys are probly more stiff on a 4 door has more pillars every 2 door i had body seemed to flex more i could be wrong tho lol

@Jusrin21 3 года назад

not a bad theory but the way i look at it a 4 door has more openings where no sheet metal is connected and therefore allows more flex. im no chassis engineer but a soda can with 4 holes is easier to crush than one with 2 holes.

@CodySnell_87 3 года назад

@@Jusrin21 i think c pillars have alot more structure than a sheetmetal quarter panel take off the sheetmetal then think about the core structure 4 door smaller opening smaller holes vs 2 door having 2 less structural pillars but a cherokee is basically an indestructible soda can so anythings possible

@Jusrin21 3 года назад

@@CodySnell_87 haha like i said im no engineer so i could totally be wrong but that was my theory. I have also only seen 4 door XJs with all the doors removed have the body fall apart.

The unibody sucks but the 4.0L with some smart cage work and "frame" plating makes XJs really awesome. 2Drs are SUPER rare. Even being a Toyota guy I love my XJ I inherited from my Dad.

@Drunken_Hamster 6 месяцев назад

What's the deal with solid axle vs I beam vs IFS when it comes to 2wd? He said that swaybars are difficult to do on beams, but I assume there are other driving dynamics factors to consider, as well as ease of construction and simplicity of maintenance factors, too. So what's the deal?

@marcusriley5388 2 года назад

Don't know if the owner will see this but Justin, and chance you'd be willing to share your valve stacks? I have something similar, also with 2.5 bypasses (and even prothane bumps!), and am always curious about valve stacks for vehicles that are working well like yours. Not a lot of info on short-ish wheelbase, solid axle, 1:1 ratio shock valving. I think I'm pretty close to having mine how I want it (perfection is always just "1 more revalve" away, right? Haha), but I'd love to see what's working for you. Thnx

@Jusrin21 3 года назад

this jeep is at 12.5" in the front and 13.5" in the rear. its possible to get close to 14" up front and 24" of rear travel but that gets super duper custom and expensive.
