    When I was 19, I had a cherokee. One day at the sand pit/shooting range, some dudes with everything overbuilt Chevy's challenged me to make it up the hill climb that had just taken them several attempts. Me, in a stock ride, stock treads, five speed made it up on the first pass. NEVER underestimate a cherokee! 14 years later, I just bought another one, they due hard!

  • @stefankroon6487

    I think your highly underestimating the advantage of lockers, in your jeep, when your off-road, you will only have 1 tire in the front, and 1 in the rear being powered, but he will have all 4 tires powered. Locking differentials make night and day difference in off-road capability.

    • @saddrums

    • @GoldenRetrieverEnergy

    Headliner is a bit of a pain, too. It takes quite a while of scrubbing with a grill brush on the fiberglass roof panel once you take the headliner off. She does look sharp, though! I highly recommend you get the Hella headlight upgrade that you can get from Amazon for around $100 or so. Way better than stock and road legal.

    Depends on your point of view. You can buy new for around $25,000 or you can sink under ten grand into your current rig and come out with a great machine that is cheaper to license and insure... AND no car payments. But if you like that new car smell...
    Frankly, I like vehicles where I can open the hood and actually see the engine.

    Those 4 litre straight 6 engines were insanely reliable. I did 280,000 miles in mine and it was still good. I had taken it apart at 150,000 miles and it had no measurable wear. It was the best car I ever had, and if they still made something like it today I'd buy one like a shot instead of my car-like 2007 Grand Cherokee. The weak point was rusting roof - hence his headlining problem, like mine.

  • @VladoooThe
    @VladoooThe 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I just finished doing the same thing with a 2000 WJ, which had 220K miles.
    I spent $900 CAD on the car with a bad motor. I knew the engine was going that's why the cost was so low. The Jeep had very little rust, 2" lift, 2" spacers, winch and other goodies. Sure enough the motor blew a month later.
    So i replaced:
    - motor
    - brakes (rotors, pads, brake lines, calipers)
    - new 31" all terrain tires
    - shocks
    - CV boots
    - muffler fix
    - differential oils
    - some rust fix
    So now I'm $5300 total into it ($3870 USD) but i have a perfectly running Jeep with many new parts :)
    I could also sell it for what I have into it too, so im happy with it. Love these old jeeps.

  • @inthetrough3012
    @inthetrough3012 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I know this was posted awhile ago but I just started to watch your channel and this Jeep Cherokee is what caught my attention. I just bought a 97 4 door automatic 2 wd for 200 dollars. the Jeep has 150k miles but the engine is less than 2 years old and a rebuild. the previous owner said it had a blown head gasket and he didn't want to waist his time fixing it. well it's not a head gasket, it's the head itself. so I'm going to pony up 480 dollars for a new cast iron head that is far superior to the aluminum head that the factory put on it.... I hope this makes a stronger and longer lasting motor

It's an old trick used by taxicab fleet owners. Oooorrr...you might be able to find a headliner, or an interior shop who could restore it, all depending on how much time and money you want to spend.

    @genxmurse7019 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    You have done well on this, and very smartly, I applaud you! I used to own a transmission shop in Florida, and I have grown a bitter hatred toward Land Rover/Range Rover more than any other car manufacturer. Why? You can just forget about taking a trip to Pep Boys if you need to replace a simple part. Not even Mercedes, BMW, or VW are as bad as these guys. On one occasion, I can recall not being able to replace a faulty transmission sensor for a customer's Freelander. Land Rover doesn't sell them, you have to buy a new transmission for over $6000! Fortunately and by a miracle, I was able to locate one off a recent wreck and save the poor guy a considerable fortune. The guy was so ecstatic, he called them to say he wasn't going to buy a new transmission, after all. Can you believe the nerve that the people from Land Rover actually called me, demanding to know how I got a hold of a sensor? I was very polite in saying NOYB, while restraining myself from telling them something else. Quite simply, an overrated and grossly expensive set of wheels in my judgement!

      I have no clue how he funds his things. He doesn't have that large of a TH-cam audience (yet?), so it's not that. He has a pretty nice house though, so maybe he does something else too. If he relies purely on debt, he will never be able to realistically pay it all off

    @KenRobinsonchannel 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I keep seeing comments about wondering where he gets all his money to this. I'm assuming it's part of his job with Autotrader and the Oversteer section of their website. Drive traffic to the website using fun and entertaining TH-cam videos. It's a good and proven strategy. So while he jokes about crippling debt, you have to realize that a lot of the money probably comes from a budget within the Oversteer website to make these videos. While I'm sure he has a lot of freedom to make what he wants in the videos, I'm assuming this is primarily a job for him, which is pretty sweet. It's just interesting to me when I see comments about "how can he afford all this?" but people don't connect the dots and don't notice he references the website and to always go check it out.

    Doug will win the challenge because of the diff locker. Just add a $250 lockrite to the Jeep and you'll be right there with him. Or better yet a $1500 ARB rear locker.

    Sounds like a smack-down in the mid-west could be in the works. To get the edge over the Defender, you might just have to include some farm chores like milking cows and baling hay and add them to the typical truck feats.

    The defender doesn't have locking diffs, it just has one in center, which makes it perform the same as a part time 4wd system in 4high or low

    It always made more sense to me to do it this way if one was going to really off-road. Banging up or scratching a cash purchase like this makes so much more sense than doing it to a $50-60k vehicle. Of course, most of those $50-60k vehicles end up being suburbanite status symbols anyways.

    that 3 inch kit you got hopefully came with an adapter bracket or longer track bar as it makes your front axle move towards the rear and also moves it over towards the passenger side about 2 inches, the track bar and trailing arms need to be lengthened as you raise it up.

  • @TheBrokenLife

    You're going to need at least a rear locker to have any hope of following his Defender. A $300 lunchbox locker + an hour to install it should do the trick.
    That said, you're about 1/2 way to making back your Lincoln losses if you decide to sell that XJ. You've done very well on it for the cash.

    You just gotta work the throttle differently with lockers. You dont wanna hammer on the throttle, and when you do get on the throttle you don't wanna just stop instantly. Wanna just ease out of it. So ease in and ease out while rock crawling :]

    Nice... For not much money you can buy some aftermarket lockers for the Jeep.. Always liked the XJ in that color and year. Looks nice. Also...Can Bet your jeep will be more trouble free than his Rover... And certainly cheaper to fix when and if it does break down.

    You should have gone with an Old Man Emu lift. It's a lot more money but it makes the Jeep a much better daily driver (focuses on ride comfort equally with off road ability) and the steering stabilizer improves handling too. But that's just my opinion dude
