I have to say, the jokes about it burning down to the ground hit home for me. My 85 Toyota recently burned to the ground, and when my XJ started after a year of sitting at a coworkers place from being brought over from idaho...we all thought it was going to burn down..but it didn't!

I picked up a 94 xj a month or so ago for about $500(cost of two transfers here in WA)..only to find a rusty passenger floor pan that I recently replaced, stuck rear spring bolts in the unibody. I've just now added in 3" zone rear leaf springs..it's also a budget build, so this is nice to have as a guide.

Looks like some young man has a lot of cleaning to do..😁

Tengo uno que caja usa

My question is, is it possible to put the Xj pumps tank on the Wj pump? Then would that avoid doing the step down on the lines?

you know, it depends on what your plan is for your xj. i have had the same one for 5 years. i put a little money in it to begin with but i havent spent sht to drive and keep it. its pretty much stock, couple inch lift nothing special. simple basic transportation. gets me into hunting areas, camping, gentle 4 wheelin, daily driver. if your planning on building a monster truck of some kind ya, its going to cost you a ton. it doesnt matter what you start with. if you need sliders then your going hardcore and stuff like that costs for anything that is mainly a toy.

I always liked the 4.0L inline 6 in those jeeps.

Xj forever bro 🎉

THANKS FOR THE VIDEO, I'M INTO MINE AS WELL.

Jon,that bottle of K seal has me concerned about the condition of the motor.I dont think the 4x4 conversion would be that bad as long as the motor is good.I really enjoy your videos,is there a way I can support the channel more?

You will want to wait the 24 hours for the rtv(gasket maker) to fully set, otherwise it wont stick very well if oil gets mixed into it when its not fully dry, do not fill the engine with oil or start it untill 24 hours later, UNLESS you are using a quick set rtv, if so then wait the recommended time before moving any further, i know its a pain in the a** but ive had time where i felt like i didnt put enough on diff covers and took em back off to apply more and you could see it doesn’t stick well to oily surfaces, but sticks fine on the dry surfaces, so make sure oil doesn’t come in contact with it for 24 hours, not to mention, it could also have seeped into the pan upon torque and now your mixing it with the oil

Will the wj wheel hub fit on a xj?

Dude, this video was awesome! Impressed with the music and the bonus safari adventure! Good call on the 45° angle of the pattern...

Great video and I'm only half way through it. BTW your kinda crazy in a goodway. 😄

i never understood why they didn't include a glove box with the civilian models..that is a nice modification to get more room in a cj2a...i believe the cj3a and up had the seat moved back a couple of inches from the factory.

Brother, just found your channel and I have to say that I love the comedic timing blended with the knowledge. I am in the process of educating myself on the XJ and all its quirks. I have never owned a Jeep, but you’re never too old to play! You got me motivated at 59 to get a good project going! I look forward to more videos, but for now I have to go get a snack!!!!😜👍🏼👍🏼

Just an observation here, I think if you can get a jack stand under the axle tube (it appears yours is hanging at full droop, with stands elsewhere on the vehicle) you may find that the hammer is much more effective on the knuckle when knocking the joint loose, as the leaf springs won't be absorbing so much of the impact.

Nice job Harold,glad you were able to get a snack in..😁😁

Dovel eggs work the best. Prob is dove can be hard to find in the big city. If this is you, pigeons are a close genetic match and your next best bet!

Can work this application also zj?

Dang Harold,you could have at least got a snack in while waiting for your tires to inflate...

I assume there's now way to connect the Milwaukee directly to a car battery, right? It just runs off the battery it came with?

Your torque pattern was backwards. You don’t need all of that rtv, just around the water ports.

Good morning. Can this modification be done with the stock steering???

Just did this on my 78 Scout ii and gear oil shot out of the filler plug hole in on the transfer case. how would anyone even fill it up that high? I watched your video to make sure I wasn't crazy.

$5 drill bit and $40 reamer doesn't matter much when you don't know how to prpoerly use either one. Drills that large and most any reamer should be used at a much lower speed than what you tried. Also LOTS of lubricant is your best friend,(and, no, I don't mean WD-40).

Great idea for your cabinet pulls Harold.Are those Jeep 4.0L rockers?

Been chasing a similar sound in my gladiator (very modified) for 6 months. I hate these types of hunts. I have even put a chassis ear on multiple components. Just can't track it down. Good luck man, hopefully 2 years later you found it. I guess my phone was listening to me cuss the last few months, I haven't searched for how to find a suspension popping sound lol.

Another great vid. By the way, love the headliner in the XJ.

demonitized for copyright infringement! That was the A-Team theme song!

You got me Harold,I thought you would eat the eggs for a snack.Not a fan of Autolite spark plugs,I wouldnt even run them in my lawnmower...😁👍👍

LIterally some of my favorite trails in the world. Such a great area. Great vid.

Are those the new BFG KO3 on that blue Jeep? Do you think they performed 1 louder than the KO2s?

Sorry to see that ! I had a 1996 2 door SE that met the same fate , 92 year old woman creamed me while sitting at a light and not only hit the back put peeled the passenger side past the rear tire ! Have to give the jeep props though it got me home over 30 miles . Good luck with your "new" one !

Should took one off ur wreck jeep from the rear doors

So much work. Good stuff!

I wonder if there was more of an aggressive bend in the drag link would it clear the sway bar

Loved the video I'm doing the parts search now to this up grade and also letting us know where to get those hard to find spacers .. What was the brand of those chips 🍟 you were eating that was 😁 😂. Keep those videos coming XJ Fam.

Great video, good job.

Unicorn circuit sent me here 👍

Hey dude, saw you on the mighty car mods unicorn thing and thought I'd give you a like and see how it goes with the XJ... All the best brother 🙏🏻

YOUR CRAP CAR video rocked and so you can thank MCM Unicorn video contribution for this sub!

Nice job Harold.That was okay ish....

Like a big red turd-phoenix, the Tex-J rises from the ashes!!!! YES!

Cool man!!!

What steering stabilizer clamp do you have in the thumbnail photo? You don't address it in the video.

Take the handle off of your floor jack, pull it apart in the middle. Use the handle by sticking in through your axel tube and inserting the handle of a seal driver into it, fits perfectly. Tap from the outside and bodabing Bobs your uncle.

Great video bud. What year is yours because when I clicked the link for the the RMS. Shows it doesn’t fit mine. Did they change the RMS for a 00/01?

What the hell,no snack??😁😁
