![Jeep Cherokee: Manual Swap - Everything You Need to Know ['97-'01 XJ] AW4 to AX-15 or NV3550](/img/n.gif)
Legend has it, the front end still hasn’t stopped bouncing to this day
Hahaha I was legit coming to the comments to say something about the shocks on the front lol
Trevor been hitting the bench 🤣
The market place builds are more relatable than the expensive giveaway. It’s more fun to watch you build and run something that we all might have in our garages and don’t have the skills, money or time to do what you do.
I used to watch Obsessed garage, Matt was giving away Porsche’s. The winners almost all sold the car after a year when the tax came due. My favorite Adam LZ videos are when he does something to his moms or dad’s cars without them knowing about it.
3 or 4 giveaways a years may be all that will keep people’s attention.
Common issues are TPS sensors, crank position sensor on the Xj. Also check the unibody around the steering box for cracks,very common problem with lifted,neglected Xj's. The cluster probably just needs to be pushed back in as well,take trim off and make sure the screws holding it in are there,very easy fix.
Also wiring issues. Green death in the connectors. My buddies last xj, first he lost his tail lights, then stuff in the dash started getting wierd, and then it wouldn't run anymore. Turns out the bulk head connector was all corroded with the green death.
He not wrong crank shaft position sensor I had it do the same thing
8 year old Trevor- “Let me drive it!!”
😂
I’m an XJ enthusiast! This brought me back to your channel! Dropping the tank is easy for a fuel pump job. And should be a plastic tank. Careful if the pump connector, they break easy. Always when buying one. Change the TPS, CPS. Your tune up you did helps big time on these 4.0’s. AW4 Toyota transmission. If it throws a torque converter lock up code it’s most likely the NSS. Good time to do the shift solenoids and filter too. With that lift, tires, “street lock” pro comp wheels, 9”, d44 trussed, skid plate, that whole deal. That’s recipe XJ stuff that some dream of. Easily 10k that shape in my area. As far as the cluster, check the connection on the back of it. They are known to quit in that area too. Not saying that’s what it is. Got yourself a SWEET JEEP!
🤘🏼😁🇺🇸
Oh, and I’d love to see a killer turbo 4200 build. Always wanted to swap a trailblazer setup into an XJ. Different then what everyone else has done.
I think it has enough goodies for what he uses for tho ahah
@@SJ-kz4mv it’s just right. Stiffeners are risky and 1 tons tear xjs up.
Loving the reg uploads bro. Jeep is pretty rad.
That's one thing i love about this channel, the variety of automotive content👍
Folks rag on you for starting and not finishing, but this is the content thats good. Trevi doing Trevi things.
My father had 1993 Jeep Cherokee sport 2Dr model. He passed away in 2012 and the Jeep sat at our hunting camp for 10yrs before my son and I decided to start using it. The fuel tank and pump were so rotted that I had to replace both. Then the fuel pressure regulator was leaking and had to replace that and then the fuel line. The pressure regulator about half the size of a ping pong ball was $100 alone. All in all, after replacing a lot of rubber and ignition parts, it runs good. After sitting that long you might as well go through it with a fine tooth comb so you don’t get stranded. The thing with any Jeep is that you can really go down a rabbit hole with mods. It’s a lot of fun and so far, reliable. Good luck and enjoy.
Make sure you rebuild the oil filter adapter. The o rings are prone to going out. Also check your trans cooler lines to make sure they aren't rubbing anywhere. Just from personal experience.
I've had multiple xjs and the gauges shut off often. Smack the dash, gauges come back no problem. And sometimes they run hot under heavier loads. Cruising down the highway the heat gauge would start to creep. slow down a little and would cool back down. Turns out that the 4.0 coolant passages were cast poorly and have debris that dislodge and clog shit up. A block flush, new radiator and water pump seem to do the trick. After that cruising at 80mph or hard bogging runs nice and cool. My 96 and 2000 were both this way.
The ford explore 8.8 is a good swap for the rearend and have the limited slip!
Cool find. Excited for the videos on this thing!
Have fun with this one Trevor will be awesome to see this project move along
Crank position sensor! Also, check IAC and map
She's a keeper!
I had an 87 2 door XJ. I had it all snorkeled up, took it through my buddies mud hole, had water halfway up the windshield. A couple days later it would do the same thing as yours, run down the road and quit. Give it 20mins and it would start right up. When I took it swimming it got a bunch of muddy water in through the gas tank vent. The mud/silt would plug the filter sock, after it sat for a bit it would unplug the sock and start right back up.
Many years ago my dad bought an 87 Jeep wagoneer for 100 bucks! It was basically the same as the cherokee. It would randomly shut off while driving, like if you cut the key. we had gone through SO much trying to figure it out. We literally replaced almost EVERYTHING including the crank sensor, tps, checked all power and grounds ect.. we found that is still had spark and if you pulled the main coil wire off and pulled it far enough away the spark would no longer jump the gap while cranking then brought it back in range it would fire right back up... It made no sense, the injectors would just stop being triggered by the ecu and doing that with the coil somehow someway made it start every time. We even replaced the ecu with a used one and it did the exact same thing. We put almost 50k miles on it like that. It would do it maybe twice every hundred miles or so.. you could let it sit for a half hour and it would fire back up. Or pull the coil wire and wiggle it out in the air and it worked every time 😂
Very stoked. Use to watch you and Jimmy and rudnik and stuff when I was into imports, but then I got into Jeeps and stopped watching. Welcome to the club.
Stoked for more xj content.
oddly helped me diagnose some issues i was having w my xj i bought a few months ago. thanks guys!
I'd lay on the ground under it and hit the fuel tank with a heavy piece of wood. Brushes in the Pump are probably unhappy. Nice find Trev!
Love the Marketplace find videos. This was cool. Definitely a solid deal for what you got.
I am posting this on your comment so hopefully trevor will see it. Those engines are very reliable. It would be awesome to see if it can handle a small turbo for a little extra power when climbing hills.
Nice, I have the older body style XJ and I love it! You won’t be disappointed!
Love the jeep keep working on it
just bought an xj and im looking forward to this!
That jeep looks like the jeep I built for my wife. We only had a 3" BDS lift on it and she chose the the rims and tires she wanted-American racing aluminum polished with 30's and BFG's and a Magnaflow exhaust. Same color and interior too.
Dang, I'm in. Never watched a jeep build before. I enjoyed watching you fix all the stuff. Keep doing that!
Awesome love the xj making me miss my xj some day will get another one enjoy it cps loves going bad on them
Ha, I literally sent this jeep to my buddy and we were getting the trailer ready to drive down from Denver. Epic to see it on your channel.
Loving the jeep stuff. Also love the truck content
For the guage cluster, sometimes the connection behind it gets corrosion or wiggles loose. You gotta take the dash off and disconnect it and spray some terminal cleaner in there.
Yes!!! More jeep content
Crank position censor next time it dies pore cold water on top of bell housing ..... It will fire right back up .... They go bad and over heat
When I lived in Colorado, I had a 98 TJ 4.0 5-speed that I bought for $6500 with 39k miles (In 2019), I sold it a year later with 80k miles on it for $6k to move back to Florida and I absolutely miss that thing. My original plan when I was in Colorado was to sell my OBS Tahoe and buy an XJ to have something a little bit more comfortable as a daily over the TJ
The drifting content on this channel is non existent anymore and that’s why I subbed

^^^ Video from 2 weeks ago
Love it I have a 94 xj myself
Great buy this def a trevvy custom spray it with bed liner like the van a few bucks have some fun get content then when you board flip it think that the buisness model you need to get back to that what you done with the black evo i calk it the stealth evo great as normal
I would like to see more of this. I'm in the same boat and you gave me the perfect business case: Windows & A/C (maybe)
Love it. You should cage it or exo cage build and raptor liner the truck just my opinions
I got a 01 xj with a bunch of random crap done to it. Motor is on its second body, motor has been under water multiple times running while I get a tow strap hooked up ($20 pvc snorkel). I have beat the ever living piss out of the thing and it's still going. Fun haver 5000 buddy. I'm SWCO near Silverton and all the alpine loop roads.
My Mom had a 97 sport. It was white and I got to drive it when I had my learners permit. Then a friend of mine bought it from my parents and it was ON. That 4.0 jeep was a BEAST. Ive also wanted one forever but never found a deal like this!!
I think Trevor as an video idea is that you and Rudnik both agree to a certain amount to spend on each other buy a car for the other person and in a week modify the car any way you want and at the end of the week you get together and race yalls cars against each other ! I know other TH-cam channels have done this but not none of the cool channels have done it yet tho ! Like You ,Rudnik , LZ , Jimmy , and alot of the others im not gonna list !
I think it’s a good idea to sometimes do giveaways other than cars like you’re doing this month, let’s go!
Yes! Jeep stuff ❤😊
LOVE THAT YOU DIDNT SCUM THE GUY. OFFERED MORE, SAID IM BRINGING A TRAILER RN AND YOU DID. GOOD FUCKING SHIT ON YOU JUST FOR THAT TREVV
This style of video is dope aswell, only made it through 6 mins of it lol
Aw man luv the XJ and that 4.0L 6 is bulletproof and can make some decent power for what it is. Looks like you got a smoking deal
Shaking the truck till the hood fell. I think Trev has a little rudnik energy leftover still 🤣 also that look at14:49 when you're friends start questioning your sanity and you just want to do jeep sh*t. They don't understand me and my rubber ducks. 🦆
Hell yes paint and primer the Jeep!!
Honestly, you and charles messing around with this jeep was a pretty fun video.
Dope 😮
My Ek used to do that weird cluster shit and a smack always fixed it as well 😂 damn 90’s electronics
Jeep stuff cool!!
Nice buy...
That is a sweet deal for that jeep Trevor, only if Rudnik still had his jeep so you both could of made some amazing content
The no music in this video was nice. Little ASMR Jeep work.
The crank position sensor on trans and the cam position sensor in the distubtror will both cause that jeep it run like crap. Also check the TPS throttle position sensor. Do not buy cheap sensors. Mopar or Napa gold all others are crap and will fail.
now you and dave are XJ boys
Trevor im assuming once this thing is running we wont see much else of it but please give up a few offroad videos please i live for it and live in a place i kind ride anymore so seeing the beautiful terrain and riding i would honestly love to see
The pins behind the gage cluster get corroded. They need to be cleaned and the prongs adjusted with a pick to make them grab. 15 min and 4 screws.
If I lived in colorado I would have to have a jeep like that. They are so good off road.
Check the crank position sensor if you loose spark its the crank position if it turns over but fails to start
I've seen the abs module under the center console will cause the gauges not to work
Literally researching 1uz swaps on these and this video auto plays. My xj is a total piece of crap though. That one is sweet.
Build it, something to have fun with your family
Yes more content with the jeep but like next video not later. Get it running and some trail rides with the fam bam, nice little bbq up in the trails and have it have some kind of ending not just shove it off to a corner. But if its been sitting that long i would have dropped the tank to take a look and replace the pump without trying to start it first. Ive messed up quit a few engines with bad gas......
Xj jeep fuel pump are very soft to water gets in the tank I've found that if you install a external pump and a water separator and pre filter it will work ten folds over . That's from someone who lives in the most humid state of Florida. 👍👍👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Sick
Such a great deal
Get a flowkooler water pump and flush your heater with clr it will help it alot with getting warm. Electric fans as well
More Jeep content plz
Yeah it's a jeep thing with the cluster. I have a 98 tj and the cluster plugs work themselves loose. Gotta give it the smack every now and again.
Go with the Rubicon express shocks and steering stabilizer you won't regret it!
Who doesnt love an XJ my first nice car iv ever owned
Sooo just wondering, 😮turbo xj incoming? Could do a budget throw together turbo kit. Alot of people use an hx 35 off like a 12 valve.
Good old 4.0 straight 6. I wish they still used this engine.
We need more Jeep stuff I miss my xj
Yeah sick would be cool seeing a jeep work right we know u will sort it out
Sweet deal man. I just recently sold my XJ with 4.5in lift and 35s and built Axles
i have herd these cluster do all sorts of bad things and they say to not trust the gauges till the "check gauge" light comes on
Lol, what a fun video!!
When the listing says grand Cherokee instead of Cherokee you know it’s gonna be good!
Yeeee
i wouldn't be made if this would be the star of the show from now on AHAH might motivate me to work on mine :P Lmao great Purchase !
I had the same problem with my Jeep it’s the airbag module under the driver seat
100% replace the crank sensor with an oem one right away. Always causes problems
Good ol tdi putting in work
Sick I miss my 98 jeep Cherokee same color 😢
Ksuspensionfab for fuel injectors
They may have done a cye and t case drop with the lift.
I guess it’s a Jeep thing 😂
MotionAuto Restoration Adventures
Makes me miss my old 96 xj. You have to literally and mediforicly beat the piss out of them.
Hey nice xj man by any chance does any one know how to put aftermarket seats on a xj what would I need I know it’s a dumb question but my seat is broken and hurts my back and looking to get some racing seats or try to fit in some seats from another car?
I may be crazy, but I'd also own an XJ. Keen for progress
Trevys customizations going on raceweek??? 🙏
Cam and crank sensors are always a pain with these as well
If its spark that is killing the jeep. Could be coil or cps.
its pre 2000, a good slap always works on that stuff 😂
pull the cluster and clean it. these things get dusty behind the dash
