How does it go in the snow? Well,you can sorta see our two daily drivers in the video,both 99 Cherokees 5 speed 4x4's.The Cherokees have straight axles,weight about the same as the Willys but have softer suspension and more than twice the HP. The Willys is a little better in the deep field snow most likely because of the almost new 9.50 x 30 BF Goodrich radial A/T tires.And a lack of power helps. :mrgreen:
And we just love the Jeep Cherokees,had a few of them over the years. They are cheap ,lightweight,reasonably powerful and the last real Jeep with straight axles front and rear.When ya pull the lever into 4x4 a rod engages the front drive like a real Jeep,no vacuum motors or electronics to hang up.Some of that old Willys feeling is in the Cherokee.If the roads weren't salted here during the winter my wife would drive the Willys full time.
