What size and lift did you use ?

They make caliper hanging hooks, use them!!!

Also take a look at iron rock off-road. They make quite a bit of structural reinforcement and repair stuff for these like frame stiffening and support and structural rocker armor that also doubles as a slider and step

I have an 04 WJ overland edition in slate grey metallic with quadradrive II. Currently replacing the valve springs and valve lash adjusters. If you email jeep/dodge you can actually get a build sheet and stuff for your wj. They just need a vin. We found out that our 04 was a 1/90 build and was fully loaded. Still have the original owners manual too . If you treat these things right the will last

Good video. It's really important and you don't see it mentioned much at all in other brake videos, to make sure those pads move completely free within the brackets. They should slap right in or pull right out, absolutely no resistance. And don't forget to always torque your wheel back on.

New pads, new rotors, new calipers and still warped in 2 months, normal driving.

The reason you welder would not fire off when you try to start your ark Is it can’t make contact through the rust It’s just that simple CLEAN YOUR WORK or use a stick welder with 6011 so you can burn through it And you should know this technique doesn’t work on thin rusty metal it just blows through You can make your life easier by simply cleaning your work The job will look much more professional and last much longer

Welding tip Start with a CLEAN SURFACE get yourself a sheep poker ( wire wheel ) and a flap disc 80 grit and clean those parts Before you weld them And use some primer paint to seal the surface before you cover it up if you have any hopes of it lasting longer than a year

Frameless and shameless The jeep WJ is a great vehicle to start off roading in Super simple and they just work great A small lift some good traction tires and your set for some fun On Those rubber spring isolators on your driver side could’ve been an issue from actual gas fumes As far as the rust goes if you have any thoughts of making it last you need to cut out any and all rusted Parts and replace them and hit them with some good rust paint Simply brushing it off and covering it up will only make it worse and the rust effected areas will grow To the point you’re whole patch falls off I recently did some upgrades on my WJ With Core 4x4 links BDS variable rate coil springs about a 3 inch lift. I did install new spring isolators And I went with Bilstein shocks I also built some custom rock sliders You can see some of my work on my channel @Wjonthetrail

Yes it is. If you cant do this in a day you are either completely incompetent or you work by the hour and like to screw your customers into paying for your time shitting and watching your wife get finger banged.

Whats the paint code?

I had warped rotors after 1 month of having a local shop have the truck for a few hours. Since the rotors were scraped out, I kept the pads which the mechanic asked if I wanted them back. I took them, and I’m wondering on my upcoming brake replacement, if I can reuse those 1-month old pads. Won’t those pads eventually conform to the brand new rotor? I see in your video that you are reusing the old pads as well unless I missed something?

Nice WJ. Noticed that the transfer case seems to be using ATF. That's not the correct fluid for that transfer case, mopar 05016796AB or other Oil that complies with MS-10216 should be used, or improper operation and premature failure will occur. You should also check the power steering reservoir as the pump also uses a special fluid, Mopar 04883077 Hydraulic fluid or other that complies with MS-5931. If the correct fluid is not used it will prematurely damage the power steering and the hydraulic fan.

You can get a front lower spring perch bracket from Dorman, simple bolt-on… did them on my 2002 which were also completely gone… sand it down, rustoleum and put them on… easy peasy

Warping is the result of changes in the dimensions of regions of the metal or a change in the shape due to thermoplasticity. Most of the time, a rotor is not warped but is worn irregularly for some reason. Unfortunately, the only way to tell for sure is to get the rotor turned and see if the irregularity comes back. I suspect a rotor, once warped, will not hold a shape. Warping means a weakened structure. Uneven wear does not.

I've got an 04 4.7 limited in a light blue color.T Jeep was garaged n had 97k miles. No rust n cleaned up real nice. Never seen another one w the same paint code either LOL. 2.5 inch Rustys Spring n shock kit,some rubicon takeoffs, and 255s! Quadradrive works great but gta replace both seals.

Thanks

Thanks

Do you have a link for the headlights? I have an 04 limited im doing all the same things to, (bts 2" springs, bilstien shocks, and all the control arms with isolators). I feel like the lights really set it off, using the same wk2 wheels too!

I have a 02 overland with the 4.7 HO that I starting building after having it 3 years. I live in Phoenix Arizona and Wow can't believe the difference with all the rust. 😮 Yea it's hot in the summer here but I would hate to deal with everything rusting out like that.

I have a 04 4.7 WJ SE with 327,000 miles original engine and trans. Still runs like a top with plenty of power!

I have that same paint code color on my 04 Special Edition

Fantastic job on the rockers n awesome WJ . Please more videos like this!

I have a 87 that I'm rebuilding. I had to replace ALL the fuel lines. Got it running and driving. It drives like an old Chrysler luxury car. I did have to rebuild the motor. It ran great but #8 rod bearing was ready to spin. Mine is the same color as yours. You're going to have fun with it.

Lug nut torque. Num. 1 reason

I need to rebuild mine 😩🫡

Nice to see an old WJ getting some love! Incredible work on the rockers holy cow

Hi Heisey, this is Chloe from AUXITO. We would like to invite you to review our LED bulbs. May I know your email to send the collab details ?Thanks!

Hi, i'm from Italy, and i have the 2.7 CRD turbo diesel one. My underside is perfect no rust, i think because they put a grafite coating to protect form salt. The rust problems are on the roof, specially around the sunroof. I like the way you solved the problem! I love this car and i wish you keep making video about it! Have a good day

I've learned how to work on my own vehicles from buying a wj. Have to replace a part every week feels like lol

rockers look great

🤟

IF YOU GUYS CAN PLEASE LIKE THE NEW UPLOAD, original upload cut off the last 15 minutes of the dang video for some reason! Corrupted files, I don't know. This is the good one!

I love these wjs. Ive got an 02, 4.0, selectrac lifted with 4in rc long arm and 33s. I feel people are still overlooking these.

Those isolators always look melted here in Georgia. It's just the way it deteriorates.

Yep... YES PLEASE!i!i! I am here for it... and here is one fore the algorithm.

what size pipe did you use for your spring perches?

$1300, score! parts are dirt cheap for WJs 😁 new subscriber😉

Yonnk her out

You are good dude!! Looks fine!!

These point make sense for vehicles that have been in use for a while. Any ideas why my rotor/s warped on a brand new truck within 4 months of spring/summer driving?

Runout on rotors is caused by excessive heat. A strong contributing factor is lug nut torque. If a lug nut is over torqued and excessive heat happens then it will bend the rotor the same as any heated metal resulting in runout beyond specs. The explanation in this video is about DTV but it all boils down to runout. Without actually doing a runout measurement and then caliper the rotor at max and min runout the DTV can't be verified.

Not true. Warp rotors are brake pad deposits on your rotors. Brand new cars get warped rotors. Its has nothing to do with the pins slides at all. Proper bedding of brake pads prevents warped rotors

Now, I’m not quite sure how that would cause a rotor to warp out of true. I’ve always had solid rotors warp on heavy vehicles after coming out of mountain passes. You spend a lot of time on the brakes, heating them up, and then come to a stop on the rotor and a little bit of it out of true from the rest of it.

The rotor surfaces are uneven there not warped

Leave them black tires

I am also working on my machine in Pakistan proud jeep owners

Try with the pump closer to the tank? They are a push type pump not pull.

Cool vehicle. They have visually been a favorite of mine. The poor MPG has certainly put me off, not to mention I don't think it would be a reliable daily. The only thing that keeps coming to me with the fuel issue is perhaps a collapsed fuel line? It is just a guess, but maybe try shooting some compressed air through the line and see if it is fully clear of debris. I just watched another revival video recently where there was an unseen inline fuel filter causing a restriction. Once they cut it out the vehicle ran much better.

A lot of work to get it running, but I'm sure Jeff would be proud. Keep it up!
