    Default Underside Photos of the Obama Cherokee

    Had one on the hoist in the shop installing a trailer hitch so I thought I'd snap a few photos

    Thanks Jake. It doesn't take rocket science to figure out why you cannot lift one

    Man, that rear axle looks really skimpy. Surely not the trail hawk

    And the shame is it probably took a ton of time and money to come up with that mess.

    No this is a limited. The last photo in my first post just baffles the crap out of me. A short chunk of exhaust pipe for a brace? I don't get it. And the whole front carriage is a slab of cast aluminum which to me makes absolutely no sense at all. The front control arms are bolted to the "frame" through a chunk of 2x2 square aluminum tubing.

    It is all about gas milage vs weight. Supposedly the new Wranglers at some point will have lots of aluminum as well

    That's the rumor, for 2017 anyways. One other thing I thought was goofy was the 3 piece rear driveshaft with 2 hanger bearings. Just dumb.

    Got to keep the engineers employed

    I bet some of those drive shaft parts will show up on the shorter Renegade

    What in the mother hell... is that rigging from a stage or something under there on that first set of pictures, lower right picture?? That little useless section of pipe and the joints at each end look like something I've helped put together for a lighting & sound structure when I was in school!! Or even better an antenna mast like for a home base station CB or HAM setup..

    It is quite the cluster f under there. You're probably right Steve. That thing might be interesting underneath also.

    I would guess that the front is the same underneath, as well as same tranny, rear end, A arms etc with just a shorter rear drive line and lighter spring rates

    Those half shafts look plenty thick enough for the amount of power it puts down. Looks pretty easy to lift to me.
