hey all. i own a 99 XJ and im really into the idea of overlanding and exploring the world really. i was wondering what steps someone would have to take in turning a cherokee into an arctic exploration vehicle.
mainly what im not to sure about is the mechanical issue at the arctics extremely low temps. what modifications would i have to do to the 4.0?
would it be best to swap it for something else?
basically my idea of what id need lists out as,
33" tires w/ bead locks
4"lift
winch
roof rack
loads of jerry cans
maybe an m416 or m101 trailer with RTT
and obviously the most common overlanding gear. i think it would be a good idea as well to go over the rig and make sure its all sealed up as best as i can. and if i really want to be safe a set of american track truck tracks. then if i get stuck i know im REALLY stuck .
ive searched around for a bit and cant find much on building an arctic exploration vehicle and all the mechanics that go into it. any advice?
the initial goal is to make it to the north pole. then be able to go back to normal dirt trails till i have saved up enough to head to the south pole
