If I can find someone to take a picture I will do it then change the challenge even though I can't win it.

I thought this would be an easy one?
Very few man. Lol

I would have done it yesterday but it's kinda difficult to 'drift' a corner and take a picture of yourself at the same time.

I just didn't have anyone to take my picture. I'd like to have that picture just for fun. I'll have to do it in my trail junk tho.

my dad had a stock xj. But my problem is the same as lowrange2. Got to have someone take the picture.

I am rebuilding my brothers wrangler 3spd trannny. When he comes over to night we are taking pictures first.

I guess I could set my camera up on the tripod and set it to timelapse, 1 photo every 1/2 second for 10 minutes...

My xj on 35s was stable enough to get a decent drift going on dry pavement (professional driver, closed course)

Just thought of something that would work even on my phone.

Take a video then grab a still out of it

Alright well tall skinny soft off-road tires combined with no sway bars and an open different is not a good drifting choice. Go figure.

I tried pavement first. Did the one wheel Peel but couldn't get it to actually drift. Dirt/gravel provided minimal drift also. With a rear locker it would have been easy. Whoever said running swaybars discoed was unsafe, never put them to the test on an xj. Never did I feel it was going to tip.

I know this is a weak video but its all I could muster while at work.

serious?

My dog broke her leg simply jumping out of the open door of my jeep. and if she was much larger of a dog she wouldnt be able to fit out the open window.

I just hope nobodys dog gets hurt because their owner wanted to win an internet forum challenge.

Alright I don't want any dogs hurt. fixed it

I have only had one dog. And he does it while I am moving all the time. He was jumping in to the jeep through the window but his is getting lazy.

Great time to own a chihuahua.

NEW CHALLENGE: Dunk a basket ball from the top of your XJ. Don't have to jump to the hoop just park underneath it or something and put your hands on it. Ready, GO!
