A few interesting things on this one. The Air Conditioner compressor is on the driver side below the power steering pump? LIke on a newer TJ or WJ? That air box on top of the throttle body is a new one for me also.
Do yourself a huge favor and look to the Japanese, something with a roller cam. I put a different/ new engine in my yj every 20k miles. Cherokees were always very cheap. Not anymore. I put a 4.0 in my hot rod truck. Rebuilt it twice in 25k because it chewed the cam gear that drives the distributor and the second time the comp cams ate like 3 lobes. Word to the wise
@@TH-camcensoredmyusername Plenty of people in the states have high mileage 4.0l rock crawlers on 40s they beat on with zero mechanical sympathy and haven’t had any of the issues you claim to have had. Mine has 260k miles on the original 4.0, previous owners were running it low on oil and overheating it when I bought it 10 years ago and i haven’t had a single engine issue
@@Tanner731 Iv Been running these 4.0s daily for 20 years I know a thing or two about them. Some get lucky but it’s just a matter of time before it punches a hole in the block. Crappy 60s design. Really good for back then though
@@TH-camcensoredmyusername I've heard of three that had a piston through the side around 400-500k miles but ive also heard the same about 1hz and 1hds
Looks like it'll get you down the trail and back now.Your daughter can learn some skills driving that one.She was doing well in your intro.Speaking of,I said it before:The new intro is Great !
When it comes to the flares you installed them wrong. First of all they require some trimming on the fender wells. Second, that the rear are two pieces because the smaller front piece mounts onto the door so that you have the flare and can still open the door. You may have even mounted the rear ones on the wrong side. As for the front, they are supposed to wind up flush with the front bumper skirt but somehow you got them with a gap of a couple of inches. Seeing how you royally screwed up the rears and didn't trim the fender first I'm positive that the fronts not fitting right was you're screwing those up too. Don't blame the product for your crappy work.
Ever done a 4.5" lift and with out a sye I want to do it but will I have to buy a drive line that's custom made for front just curious if u have nice wrk on the xj bud!
The reason the archies on the rear didnt fit good. Is because not fitted correctly what so ever plus your suppose to attach part of the arch to the door. You most prob already figured that out.
The flares are right you just didnt install them right. They are for when u cut the wheel well out and raise the flare up higher. The front was suppose to go up like 2in higher same with rear and you cut away tje wheel wells. Read directions next time. Go watch a video you can still do it right. And get more room for bigger tires to.
you gotta get your lighting a bit better if you want people to see what your doing under the jeep, i really wanted to learn what was going on so i can do it to mine aswell but could not see half the time
It LOOKS better.... but really theres a few things I just don't get: If you aren't getting it registered, why bother wasting anyoney on those rubbish flares? Why bother keeping the swaybar? Then you spend a heap of cash on lights that it will probably never need?... cause its not like you're going to be going down the hwy at 110kph - its not rego'ed. But then you shortcut the suspension SO much. Heck I don't understsnd why you didn't simply use the TJ arms. which are FAR better quality than the ones you fitted? Not even cheap correct length shockies - but its got a sick light bar?? If you wanted a beast of a garden gnome, chop the guards, 37" and make the pig flex.
Ya suppose to attach the rear flair too the door and the second part to the body 🤣🤣I declare a lack of hydration in the video caused this mistake 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺got to love the xj

Nice XJ bro....👍👍its my dream to have an rhd XJ
The wheels make it 🤙
Turned out good mate. Lights look great. 👍🍺❤️🇦🇺
Love the xj. Have a wj currently.
Well. That's just great.
Now I want an XJ. Thanks.
Looks amazing. It's a awesome transformation.
Would if help if I said they have a rear auto locker as well from factory?

Looks so cool!! What a change!
Another great episode
Looks tonka tuff
Are the sounds that all the packages making very pleasing to anyone else, or just me?

Face it, your flares are shit. No one is going to buy them just because you go around defending them on every channel that shows how shit they are.
Nerd
Jesus loves you! (John 3:16) He died for you!
Holy shit, she cleaned up nice! Awesome video!
You are a jeep man through and through
What size tires did you put on?
Thanks
Few mods are the best ones
man loves his jeeps😂😂

Soo much better🔥
do you even need flares?
just do the cut n fold/no flares
looks awesome.

Looks sweet. I think the flares were maybe for a 2 door xj, not many here in Aus though
you gotta get your lighting a bit better if you want people to see what your doing under the jeep, i really wanted to learn what was going on so i can do it to mine aswell but could not see half the time
What size are the tires??
On those wheels did you just have the center caps or do you know any place to buy them?
A decent XJ is not cheap anymore!
I find em for 4k all the time still lmao, just look online
You didn’t say anything about loctite on that light bar? Atleast blue!
Time for a Beijing spinny thannng flares look shit but putting those wide wheels on made it look tough as haha
Look like it came out of the factory
Did I just see a Wurth shifter ?
Looks sick as mate 👌 I need a onlycans t-shirt . Where they at?
KennyBrody.com
So your jeeps are just weekends toys?
Scrap that lol. Rear flare would still be one piece...Duh!
Lack of hydration moment🍺🍺🍺

would you like to get some free rock light?
I bought a perfectly running xj for $1500. Dude wanted $2500 but I brought him down.
I paid 350$ for mine running no major rust
Agreed those flares are indeed TRASH
2
finder flairs are flat out ugly 😂😂😂😂
👌🍻
Got my Cherokee for 400$ because the motor was blown got a motor 350$
Jesus loves you!
Copycat my Jeep is little taller light bar on hood same color and same rims
Jesus loves you! (John 3:16) He died for you!
@mattsoffroadrecovery
looks good for cheap. quickly aren't the light bar mount on the wrong side? might lift it that little higher to install on the correct mounting holes
Peww peewww
If you didnt buy a adjustable track bar you need to drill a hole 1 inch over and bolt it in to get your front end straight
Ya suppose to attach the rear flair too the door and the second part to the body 🤣🤣I declare a lack of hydration in the video caused this mistake 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺got to love the xj
I didn’t want it on my door as the screw lined up with the pinch weld of the door but yes lack of hydration was a issue
I love it.
the TJ arms would fit on the XJ. The XJ,ZJ,TJ, and WJ all use the same factory control arms upper and lower
Oh I keep forgetting to tell you I found a white jeep renegade same colour same tan interior in Woodend Victoria
I’ll pretend I didn’t hear it 😂
👍
What is the tire size?
33x12.5
Thats killer !
Nice rig I have an xj with the same lift kit
Jeep things!
You installed the rear flares incorrectly. The front half of the rear flare should have been attached to the rear door.
Yea they where that bad I didn’t want to drill into the door
What’s the gas mileage?
Fuck yeah that looks mint with the wheels and rims👌👌
I would be very interessted in how you started the engine after the jeep sat for so many years?
I posted a few clips on my instagram when I was going it running
Actually they're going up in price very quickly. And the outside of it looks very good.
Jesus loves you! (John 3:16) He died for you!
I would have washed the heap first.
looks good especially now you washed it. Next step big turbo
shoulda just did the cut and fold on the fenders, you lose alot of wheel clearance with flares
