Thanks! This is one of my favorite trails. It has been abandoned for more than 40 years. We haven't reached the end yet because we need to move the fallen trees but every time we are further and further away.
I would add ZJ to that list too. I had WJ few years ago and I miss that Jeep. This black XJ in the video is mine and I love it. Every Jeep is fun if used properly. 😁
@@V8AmericanMuscleCar ZJ in the 3 spot for sure. I'd love to find a nice XJ one day. I know a few older people who have nice well kept ones and I trying to get dibs if they ever sell them lol.
@@monroemando it's hard to find a good XJ. It took me almost a year to find mine. XJ from older people, it always sounds tempting. I wish you luck with purchase.
Yes Josip. You get cross axled and have 2 wheels spinning occasionally. With the Ausi Lokka, this eliminates this. I fitted mine to the rear. Transformed it. Goes everywhere now. £300 well spent. Dana 44 I think. You can't fit to an overland, but open diff crd, you can.
@@joegriffin6699 Mine is quadra drive and has front and back LSD diffs. I cannot put any lockers in it. It would be nice to have full lock when needed as quadra is very nice but doesnt lock fully and has no power when wheel is under stress.
WJ.... Ljepota. Imao sam 2.7crd Final Edition... Trenutno posjedujem WK2 pentastar 3.6....tko jednom sjedne u Jeep taj većinom uvijek se na kraju odluči na Jeep ponovno.
@@djzero1131 WJ has Quadra-Drive. The video doesn't do it justice, but here is a very large load on a single wheel, so I'm not sure that the Quadra-Drive can be effective in this situation.
@@V8AmericanMuscleCar its effective if hydralock are not broken, in Poland there is small manufacture and they are even tougher than original ones. Its all effective until 32 inch wheel. I have lift 2 on OLD MAN EMU, and 31 inch wheels, its 245/70/R17, than doesn't matter, you can have all car weight on 1 week as it roller test does. but you cant give a gas let go, you need to place keep strate, control direction and push gas and give it a bit of time to clutch but not let gas away, because it will pump oil and block in differential once it feel 1 wheel spin faster than other ones, and if you start and stop you reset it and go from beginning.
@@djzero1131 This XJ in the video is mine, but I had the same 2.7 WJ with Quadra-Drive. It worked up to some extreme loads, such as here in the video. I'm glad that someone repairs Quadra-Drive systems.
Thanks! It's not that tight and this hill is mostly sand so it can be shoveled off. That's how we passed the first time. The former trail in this part went a few meters along the creek but there was a landslide there, so it was not possible except through the creek. Believe me, it's way more fun like this. 😁
I totally totally agree. The diesel is excellent. Great torque and 3 0mpg. The wj would benefit from a lokka (ausi) otherwise great. Did most things on tickover. No music, no talking, no bull. Brilliant.
Imao sam v8 4,7 iz 99, plina je išlo na otvorenom oko 15 lit, u gradu 25, uglavnom sam bio oko 20 litara plina. Gledam kako bi uzeo ponovo wj, ali ovaj 2,7. Imam jednog u super stanju, ali ima 320 tkm. Koliko bi vrijedio po tebi
@@markovlastelicalav3569 ovaj nije moj, ali imao sam istog takvog prije par godina pa nisam baš u toku sa cijenama. Frend je nedavno uzeo za €6000 jednog sa 260 ili 290 tkm, ne sjećam se točno. Ali opet čujem da se da i za osjetno manje naći. Ako je dobar, onda bolje platiti i malo više nego krpati neki kramp.
Fantastic as always! Hope to see more soon. Thanks for sharing! Can't get enough XJ!!!!
Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.
Those trails look awesome. And the vehicles are great.
Thanks! This is one of my favorite trails. It has been abandoned for more than 40 years. We haven't reached the end yet because we need to move the fallen trees but every time we are further and further away.
Nothing better then playing in the mud on good tires!
I agree. 🙂
XJ's and WJ's are my favorite Jeeps. I have a WJ with a Rusty's 2.5 spring lift. Love it.
I would add ZJ to that list too. I had WJ few years ago and I miss that Jeep. This black XJ in the video is mine and I love it. Every Jeep is fun if used properly. 😁

Had 2 xjs, 2.5 & 4.0. Loving my Grand Cherokee wj 2.7 crd diesel. Fitted an ausi lokka and it transformed it.
Goes everywhere. 30+ mpg.
Nice!
I had WJ 2.7 CRD few years ago and now I have XJ. I like both a lot! 🙂
You had stock with open diffs before?
Yes Josip. You get cross axled and have 2 wheels spinning occasionally. With the Ausi Lokka, this eliminates this. I fitted mine to the rear. Transformed it. Goes everywhere now. £300 well spent. Dana 44 I think.

I have a 99 WJ 4.0l with Quadra Trac, it’s original without lift or big tires, would a rear locker be worth putting on it
WJ.... Ljepota. Imao sam 2.7crd Final Edition... Trenutno posjedujem WK2 pentastar 3.6....tko jednom sjedne u Jeep taj većinom uvijek se na kraju odluči na Jeep ponovno.
Istina! Vozilo s kojim si čovjek napravi zabavu u bilo koje doba godine i po bilo kakvim uvjetima.
Nice! And Cooper STT PRO's great tires!
Thank you! I like those tires, not so much for snow but none of the MT tires are really good for snow.
Awesome content. The XJ sure does like the throttle. Possibly a rear locker would help.
Locker would definitely help. But I also love open diffs. It’s very interesting when things don’t go so easily. 😁
@@V8AmericanMuscleCar But you got vari lock broken, if you change it and repair it will work. Or maybe its not quadra drive but quadra trac.

I wish we had Diesel engines here I wish I had your knowledge
Thank you for taking a look, I appreciate it.
Fuel is very expensive here in Croatia so most vehicles on the roads are with diesel engines.
Posle dugo vremena opet jedan WJ :) Kod nas ih ima baš dosta, udobniji su od XJ :)
O da, puno udobniji. 🙂
you guys have some nice trails !
Thanks! This is one of my favorite. 🙂
Awesome @7:56 that gets super tight....thinking a jk,jku might not fit ;)
Thanks!

Nice video !!
Thanks mate! 😉
Those trails look fun!! Where are they located?
Thanks and yes it's my favorite trail. This is in Croatia.
Excelent
Thanks! 🙂
I hate that these weren’t available in the USA
I hear that often but you guys have cheaper fuel. 😉
Those engines sound awesome! Are they diesel?
Thanks.
Yes, WJ is 2.7 turbo diesel and XJ is 2.5 turbo diesel (factory installed engines).
Tengo al gemelo de ese wj. Pero con algo mas de preparacion.
WJs are very capable even stock.
Thank you for watching. 🙋
What country? Where in that country?
This is in central Croatia, about 25 miles from the capital.
@@V8AmericanMuscleCar Thank you
@@CDNBVR1 you're welcome and thank you for watching.
Greetings from Croatia! 🙋
Do you have a lift in Wj? What tires size?
That's my friend's WJ and it have 2 inch lift. Tire size is 245/75/16
Struggling a lot. Get the WJ with the V8, you won't regret it
I like V8s but it's not about power here.This is really steep.
@@V8AmericanMuscleCar yes, V8 has much more torque
@@NinoMaartenGuitar actually, no. It has more horsepower, the torque numbers are the same. This is 2.7 turbo diesel engine in WJ.
@@NinoMaartenGuitar I've driven both the v8 and the diesel. V8 goes a little better but the fuel economy of the diesel is far, far better.
I totally totally agree. The diesel is excellent. Great torque and 3 0mpg. The wj would benefit from a lokka (ausi) otherwise great. Did most things on tickover.
No music, no talking, no bull. Brilliant.
Frende koliko realno troši wj 2,7!
Dok je sve tvornički, oko 9 se meni kretala potrošnja. 2 inča lift i 31 gume, povećalo se za litru, dvije.
Imao sam v8 4,7 iz 99, plina je išlo na otvorenom oko 15 lit, u gradu 25, uglavnom sam bio oko 20 litara plina. Gledam kako bi uzeo ponovo wj, ali ovaj 2,7. Imam jednog u super stanju, ali ima 320 tkm. Koliko bi vrijedio po tebi
