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!
Slick install man!
Love your XJ
Thanks man! I appreciate it.
Really nice XJ mate. Greetings from Bulgaria✌🏼
Thanks! Greetings from Croatia! 🙋♂️
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. 😁
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! 🙋♂️
