Coming from xj cherokees I thought my J10 on tons would be a handful on the tight trails. With the wheelbase shortened to 113 and back of the bed chopped off she has proven to be quite manuverable.

My lifted J10 does fairly well however the rear overhang is a killer.
If you are going to do anything outside of trails the bed/bumper is going to gain some trial rash.
It also will get you hung on things that others craw right over.
I am building a WT Cherokee and look forward to less issues on the rocks in the near future.Comment

If you can't make it better why waste your time. No use repeating the orignal mistakes. I'm to old to push it that's why.Comment

If you go fast enough, you just bounce the rear overhang of a J20 right off of whatever obstacle it is you're climbing off of and continue on your way (sheet metal and parts dangling). I know this from experience.

You guys are all WRONG!
The best FSJ for wheeling is a RUNNING FSJ!
I got 2 and neither are wheelable or street able.

M715 should be on the top of the list. Low gearing, easy clearance for big tires and a convertible top. What's not to like. Otherwise the WT Cherokee gets top honors.1976 Cherokee Chief

also, the answer is all of the above. Mine is originally a Cherokee NT but I'd say you can modify all of them to suit your needs.Comment
