Thank you guys for watching! This is a full detailed overview on my 1997 Jeep TJ. If you have any questions feel free to ask and please share! You can follow me on Instagram at @Recoil_TJ recoil_tj Big thanks to @Rockstar Garage for some of the awesome footage! th-cam.com/users/RockstarGaragefeatured Be sure to subscribe and follow the build process as I rebuild and make changes ...
Did you have to reduce the steel -it ??
I just subscribed to see this YJ build and I went to the next video and see that you quit TH-cam 😭. Haven’t posted a video in over a year
SORRY!!! I had to stop filming to start knocking everything out to get it done by my deadline. Filming just ate up SO much time that I didn’t have. I’m hoping to get back into it at some point
That turned out fantastic. Wow, definitely going this route with my project.
Cage is cool I like it different
that's a beast!!!
great seeing it all come along man and thanks for sharing the process :) pretty inspiring being that i'm building my TJ the same way all motobilt and one tons. looking forward to the rest.
Hell yeah
I like the harness tabs. I didn't see them on TMR site. Do you happen to have a link?
Super slick build. So much work you’re putting in and taking us along and showing us every step of the way is badass! 🤘
How many gallons of paint did you use on this project?
Ended up using two full gallon on the body alone. That did three coats
How consistent is the product when spraying. Does it separate or show spray marks since it’s stainless like a metallic?..
NOOO it’s super smooth. It lays on 8 mils wet and self levels to 1.5. As long as you follow the application instructions it’s SO worth it
Nice job! Curious....what did you use to clean up the gun and sprayer after using the Seel It?
I ended up ditching the sprayer but mineral spirits work great
Did or will you be doing a video on the rear frame kit?
Didn’t end up getting one filmed. Time ran short and I had to start knocking everything out. Filming just took up SO much time
I just found your channel. I'm very impressed. Congratulations
Hey man Is a 11.5 inch 14 bolt worth building for a rock crawler? I can get one cheap but idk if it’s better to just get a 10.5
Why wouldn't you weld the nuts on the inside for the front cross-member before welding gussets?
I dont see anything about a weight rating for this thing...Is there any info on how much it will hold?
Not sure the actual rating but I’ve ahead 300lbs on it with no issues
Very nice Jeep and break down. Love the dash!
Just getting into the jeep life. 03 tj low mi good start. Hope to end up with something like this.
How did you add that license plate holder? The holes line up even though that's from a JL?
Easy, just drilled them. Most aluminum tailgates don’t have any holes in them at all like this one so I just put it on and drilled the 8 holes
Which 14 bolt did you go with? IE: which Chevy
Why didn’t the body shop put the bracing back in on your rear floor? Also with that type of paint sprayer you loose a lot in the hose.
I ask myself why the body guy did and didn't do a lot of things lol. Lesson learned that if you want something done right, do it yourself. I added 2 channels that go across the rear floor for support. If I were to use it again Id invest in a high quality professional gun. while I got great coverage, I would have liked to see the paint atomize a little more. I had plenty of paint so I wasn't too concerned with the minimal amount of loss from the hose. there is more lost in overspray than in the hose. It still turned out great so im happy with the results
You are going to have to go full hydro on the front with the double triangulated kit, if not and you try to go 3 link you will have binding issues correct?
The Front half kit is designed for full hydro. You COULD make a steering box fit though. The front 4 link could be modified into a 3 link but that's not what I decided to do. I went full hydro so Im keeping the 4 link. Yes, technically you could have some binding issues if you ran a 4 link with a drag link because of the different angles of axle travel.
Have the same kit, what are your front driveline plans? I have a 05+ Dana 60 front with an LS and have not started installing this kit yet?
you will have to run a carrier bearing for the front shaft. With the Hemi/4l80/241c, my rear yoke sits right at the back of the rear crossmember. Its VERY tight in the front so fitting the carrier bearing can be a challenge. Ill be sure to cover it soon in a video. Drivelines will be 1410 non-cv shafts from Yukon
What controls the AW4?
The aw4 retains the factory Cherokee TCU. That got spliced into the factory jeep harness to communicate with the ECU
I have a slide out drawer on my LJ. Wondering if my draw fits between the cables. What's the width between the cables and hardware on the tailgate?
The measurement between the fender wells is 36" so id estimate 33" between the cables. they are pretty low profile to the brackets.
Are you still working on this one? I really want to see it through, would like to see how this kit all comes together being it’s somewhat new there aren’t any videos out except the Motobilt ones, and they don’t show a whole lot. Hopefully your going to keep posting videos!
I definitely am! Ive been so swamped with work so I haven't had an update or video in a while. Ill have more info on the kit as a finished product at some point
Man it’s turning out sick!! I’m building a 97 tj on a Dana 60 and 10.5 and hopefully a v8 if funds let it happen. I’m subscribed hope I’m entered for the giveaway!!
thanks! Sounds fun! if your subed you in it. Im due for another video, just been busy
Really enjoy your work and channel. Do you have a instagram page or fb? I want to get your in input on put 37’s on my tj. Im on 35 with4.5 lift and rockcrawler long arm. I want to put a rear stretch without going all out. I know they make genright factory location tank. How would you go about stretching the rear without relocating tank? Is it simple as adjusting arm length and relocating rear spring location? Or do I need to change rear links?
Absolutely! Instagram link should be on the main channel page. Recoil_TJ
Looks awesome, how low does the skid hang below the frame??
similar to the factory skid. Ill end up close to 20" to the skid at ride height
Where are you going for jeep beach?
unfortunately the jeep didn't make it there
Any issue with the lower material too thin on the 13 shave?
Nope. It isn't a full shave so it leaves plenty of material left in the casting that will still take a good impact
keep up the great content!!!
Will do!
I've always liked all your content, but that cage is over the top. Looks awesome!!
Thanks so much!
Very clean build. Great job!
Thanks!
Man, i didn’t know you had your own channel? I’ve been following you through other channels that you have been on. I love you content!! I’ve been following you for awhile now as I learn how to work on my future Jeep crawler. I am having to learn from the ground floor. Frustrating at times, but I’m enjoying learning. A year ago I wouldn’t have been able to understand or talk with someone about a 4-link double triangulated suspension, but I’m learning the lingo & fixed my first steering issue on another Jeep I have. Keep up the good content. I’m one of your new subscribers now.
Awesome! Glad to hear that, building is a long process that you never stop learning. Im here for any questions!
I've been on the fence about getting a tube bender and building my own cage for my YJ. I think you just made up my mind. Your cage looks awesome!!
Thats awesome! Be sure to do a ton of research ahead of time and dont take the project lightly. its a HELL of a learning process and can be pretty tedious.
Cage looks great. Do you need to add cross bracing to rear sides to support the rear hoop in case of roll over? Just seems like a lot of air space between the rolled tube and top of the tub. I'm asking for my knowledge. Learn me something.
Good question. It is pretty open and I could add in some extra supports to the rear area. the rolled tube on the back is purely design and not "structural" in term of how I designed it. Yea im sure it adds a minimal amount of stiffness and rigidity to the overall structure but the main structure I focused on was the area that houses the seats. Ultimately that's the most important area in my opinion so I tried to combine a lot of structure and functionality into the important area with some added flare and design where it was less important.
@@RecoilOff-Road it does look great. Would of liked to see a video of the design nd build.
looking good boss!
Appreciate it!
Recoil is one of my very favorite rigs! Just in the last little over a year it's under gone a big transformation. Hope to see ya on the trails
Love hearing things like this! Thanks so much for following the progress and my journey of making a "moderately built" TJ into what it will soon be!!!
Man the plate on the double B pillars look amazing! Rig is lookin great!
Very glad to have found your channel, Jeep looks insane so far!
Glad you enjoy it! So much more to come!
@@RecoilOff-Road more vids ?
The music is too loud. I can’t hear what your saying
Some people have had issues with the stainless showing rust in salt air environments. Have you seen this?
never had an issue with that and I take mine to the beach often. Id guess that those people are likely under coating and not prepping the surface thoroughly. That is key to creating a proper bond with the stainless and the parent material.
Can I use this kit as a three link in the front. I don't need full hydro steering.
Technically yes you could. However I would run their original 4 link kit (MB1517). It has been used as a 3 link front in the past and has some different geometry characteristics that may suit it better for that.
@@RecoilOff-Road Yeah I kinda picked that out but like you I was thinking upgrade.
Little tip, smear a small amount of sikaflex adhesive around the nutset before installing it. Will seal up the tiny space that’s created and stop any rust forming down the road. Keep up the great content 👍
That's a good idea! Thanks!
That's exactly why I'll use Motobilt every chance I get building my TJ . That looks awesome. I'm a long way from getting that but it's gonna happen lol
Looks terrific. Very nice job.
Thanks guys!
Great job and awesome kit from Motobilt now I’m waiting the video how to setup perfectly the geometry 😬
Exactly what i am wanting to build!
