Jeep XJ 4x2 Dilemma
I have a 1997 Jeep Cherokee 4x2 and I want to have four wheel-drive
Do I just need to buy the 4x4 emblem or is it more complex than that?
I was also wondering if 'spinners' would be a problem when I go to
Moab. Thanks.

Re: Jeep XJ 4x2 Dilemma
You need the 'All-Terrain" or "Mud-Terrain" spinners. They have found the
centrifugal force is a great boon to rock hopping.
The more stickers you have the more your vehicle will perform.
The best improvement has actually been to install a 1000+ watt stereo.....
the vibrations pack the ground surface for better traction.

Re: Jeep XJ 4x2 Dilemma
You might put some big neon lights under it too, that will make the Jeep
lighter and so you'll have an easier time in sand and snow.

Be sure you get the Trail Rated badge with your 4x4 emblem, or you'll
have four wheel drive but have to restrict your driving to running over
kids at the Walmart parking lot. The spinners won't be a problem, in
fact they are pretty handy for chopping up the mormon tea that grows
wild around Moab. Run at full speed along the Hurrah pass trail and
screech to a stop at the first tea bush you see. That will leave the
spinners running fast enough that you should be able to chop up enough
tea for the next day. Put the tea in a Wagner cast iron skillet and lay
it carefully on your exhaust manifold to dry the tea properly before
brewing. One way to test your trail rated 4wd conversion would be to
head out of Moab toward I-70, but as soon as you cross the Colorado
river, take the paved road down toward the old Potash plant. Head down
that road to the Shafer Trail turnoff and head up that trail.... just a
bit past Island In the Sky, keep going and you'll soon come to level
ground at the top of the trail. Take an abrupt left and engage your new
4 wheel drive and head as fast as you can straight ahead. You might see
what appears to be a dip or dropoff ahead of you, but it is really an
optical illusion--just keep your new 4wd engaged and keep right on going
straight ahead and soon you'll reach the point where you can drop down
to the Colorado river into an area most jeepers never manage to reach.
