Tacoma VS Cherokee

poor jeep ended up with broken leaf springs nowhere to hook to the frame always a good reason to have a solid frame attachment point

 

I have a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee w/ 3.7l v6 as well as my 2019 Taco. I honestly love the jeep and it's been my daily driver since I purchased in 2016 with 105,000 miles. It currently has 210,000 miles with no issues other than normal wear and tear and sceduled repairs.

 

Ive been wanting an older one to build a trail rig out of they are great if built well.

 

love the Taco (obviously) but Winder Towing (Matt's Off-Road Recovery) on YouTube shows how much of a beast a cherokee can be.

 

Watching them snatch that thing out with a chain was painful to watch. I was cringing the whole time.

 

x2. That could've not ended well for the Tacoma.

 

I don’t mean this to be disrespectful.
But that’s no where near the proper way to recover a vehicle.
User error, improper recovery gear, and bad anchor points resulted in unnecessary damage.
I’m no recovery expert, but that wasn’t good at all.

We all make mistakes. Hopefully this won’t be one that gets repeated.

I guess the good news is, he isn’t stuck anymore

 

X2. That was a stupid recovery attempt.

 

talk about some serious whiplash

 

Yeah it was a little violent

 

That is almost as smart as the one I saw dragging the Truck down the hill on its side....

Maybe he thought it was one of those stretchy chains.

Crazy people...

 

I’m going to have to remember that, “Stretchy chain”.

 

“Stretchy Chain” that’s awesome!!!

 

Drove it like it was a 3rd gen.
