@@pedrog4221 stock WJ steering yes, stock XJ no.

Wow! If I had to guess they filled it out of the Scout and then instilled it. But short of standing the Scout on it's nose to fill it I'd have no idea.

@@4HIGHGARAGE Some additional research is leading me to the Trans seal failing allowing fluid from the trans to get into the transfer case.

@@DrewMerrill-oj2ku that would be a serious seal failure or maybe someone forgot to put one in. Easy enough to tell when you add the correct amount to both and see where the fluid goes.

@@danhambrick6331 thanks Dan. Actually they are stock 1989 Mustang 302 Rockers.

@@Tinker3504 I never nailed down the exact spot but I believe it was suspension related. Supporting the Jeep I took the spring, shocks, and all four control arms out to inspect and cleaned. Nothing looked out of place. I was sure to clean the spring pockets too. I reinstalled loose let it sit down under its own weight and tightened up all the bolts. Snug tights with some blue lock tight. And it went away. So something was binding and making that pop. But I’ll never know exactly what it was.

@@crankshaftculture thanks!

@@TylerDonaldson-t9k haha. No TH-cam strike so I’m flying under the radar. Don’t tell law enforcement. 😉

@@danhambrick6331 Thanks Dan. NGK are my preferred plug.

JCR $ has got me thinking about 2x6 for sliders. Already have front and rear bumpers from them. Shame, I like their style. And yours!

@@4HIGHGARAGE NGK 👍👍

@@tabelq Thanks!!

@@crankshaftculture Thanks!!

They are a great tire but only look good on blue jeeps. LOL

@@frankporfidio9813 Thanks !!

That absolutely crossed my mind. And I may add them to my parts bin in the end. Or they may say there and I build half doors out of those. In this case the Amazon ones were less than $20 and that was worth my time.

@@ericgunnyporter8964 Thanks Eric!

@@cammyboy011 thanks!!!

@@AslamGreyFox Thanks! I had a blast making that video.

Me too 🤭 crap cars for the win

@@mrsrhardy Thanks!!

Found it on amazon. I installed it and t immediatly rusted so I'm not recomending it. Its on my list to replace but since it's still holding I haven't been in a rush to do so.

@@bradleycrenshaw6778 Ha! Hadn’t thought of the floor Jack handle. Thanks for the suggestion!

Yes the seal is different. Mine is a 1997. The install will be about the same though.

Hahahahaha. Damn it I forgot. I'll get it in the next one!!

@@kjohns236 Fantastic!

@@craiggeauxtreaux5862 I wish I had. I hate unanswered questions like that but unfortunately someone rear ended the Jeep and it’s been totaled. I had planned to jack up the front and completely disable the front suspension. Make sure there wasn’t something obvious and reinstall. Maybe not crank down so tight on the bolts. Don’t forget to install with nuts and bolts in but loose and don’t tighten until it’s on the ground under its own weight. I’m also in the process now of swapping everything I can from this Jeep to its replacement. I will certainly share if the pop sound followed me.

@@cameronwebb3959 I put the part number in the description to help people locate it.

Where did u find it I looked it up online called my auto stores around no one has it

@@Judy2Ju I found it on Amazon. Dorman part # 800-714

@@michaelengelhardt5296 If I remember correctly they’re in the same place. All the Cherokees from 2000 forward including the grand Cherokee (WJ) were all a low pinon Dana 30. Keeping the high pinon Dana 30 in my 1999 XJ is preferable. Keeps the pinion and front driveshaft out of the rocks.

@4HIGHGARAGE ik they are both high pinion d30 but the wj is 65 in mounting surface instead of 60 inch. But idk about control arm mounts, tracj bar mount or spring perches.

@@michaelengelhardt5296 Ah I didn’t remember that. Guess is the control arms line up it be a decent swap. I’m running spacers for the JL rims I’m running even though it’s the same lug pattern the wheel offset requires the spacer. So a wider axle would do the same thing.

Thanks!

@@4HIGHGARAGE Thank you!

Thanks man!!

Yup. I show it in the next video. Used a block of wood.

@@4HIGHGARAGE savvy, thank you

Yes. Good eye! Found at a garage sale. 🤘

Absolutely! You’ll just need to source a torque wrench. But the rest can totally be done with hand tools.

Possibly eBay or a junk yard. Unfortunately they don’t sell them through parts stores. Might find a forum or Facebook group and reach out to others and see if someone wouldn’t mind selling them to you.

I borrowed the kit from a friend. I wana say the brand was Astro Pneumatic Tools. But any of the heavy duty kits should work and you can usually rent them from any parts store.

I’m super leery of the Chinese oil pump garbage out there. So if it ain’t broke don’t fix it kinda thing. And man oh man would I love to put a stroker motor in this Cherokee!!

Then forged iron pistons, bore out the cylinders, new timing chain and camshaft, roller rockers...

How is it holding up? Just purchased a ‘97 for my son that likely needs this.

I forgot in some cases you have to loosen up a couple more bearing caps. Damn wish I had mentioned it. Thanks for posting it here though!

That’s the goal!!

Yes the race for the outer bearing goes in that hub with the brake rotor. In this video I hear the whole thing up with my home stove and out the races in the freezer. They drop right in.

​@@4HIGHGARAGEsavvy! Thank you. It just seemed odd to me. As my old bearings didnt have a race. I bought yukons akfg02 bearings

😂 it was from the days of R12 so it kinda is.

It certainly has that Soviet look to it!

LoL. Sad but probably true.

Glad it’ll help!

Also - great job! Looks amazing.

@@macindoe Thanks!

I’m not sure if I fully understand your question. But I think you’re asking if along with the dynamat on the ceiling would some foam insulation between the dynamat and the headliner board fit too. And I think thin foam would fit too. The headliner board sits against the brace so you have the thickness of the brace to work with. Because of this You would not be able to put foam over the brace. You’d have to work around that. Hope that answers your question.
