Hey Bug n Joe shot for the walk around.. I just love this xj as is and now for more upgrades.. This build will be epic! Thanks for sharing keep up the great adventures.. Love from New Zealand 👌👌👌👌
Thank you!!! We love the Goat as it is but it’ll be tough to tear her down. But we’re excited as well for the build!!! Going to be awesome and can’t wait to show you everything! Thank you for your support from New Zealand!!! ❤️🐞
So good to see a video from you guys! And The Goat is so awesome!!! That thing has been a beast! Great build is! But it’s gonna be a monster when your done!
After seeing it wheel in other videos, including on other channels, it doesn't appear that there's many places you couldn't get in it. So, I look forward to seeing the beast that it is to become.
Thank you! It is honestly pretty dam capable as is. I would recommend the current build to anyone wanting to get into moderate to difficult wheeling! Appreciate you watching and commenting!
The Ultimate Grey Goat is about to become the LEGENDARY GREY GOAT!!! Love it! Yall keep pushing the limits and it keeps getting better and better!! Super excited to see the build series!
Thanks Duddie! Just got over 2-3 weeks of being down with Covid. So we’ve been talking about the build - but it kept getting put off. Today it begins!!!! 🙌
Wait times are ridiculous on parts haha. I started redoing my xj in August last year and I'm hoping to be about done in September this year. My atlas t-case will be here August supposedly and that's the last big piece I'm waiting on then after that's installed I'll have to order drive shafts and I'm hoping to have everything about done when they get here. I ordered most everything at once when I started the build but plans changed and of course there's always things that come up or things to add but luckily I've been doing so much that I've always had something to do while waiting for parts and ive been taking my time with a lot of details. If you guys can I would try to get ahold of everything you think you'll need before starting that way your jeep isn't down for super long if you don't want it to be. Almost every company I've ordered from has taken much longer than they said they would. I think shocks/coilovers are about the worst right now, they told me 90 days and it took more than 6 months. Most of the places I order from I've done business with in the past and they've always been on time but everyone has taken significantly longer than they said they would this time. There's been a ton of stuff that's taken months longer than expected.
Luckily we already have a lot of the parts- except coil overs 😳 We will be ordering those this weekend. We aren’t changing our transfer case but I have heard horror stories about wait times. We’ll go with the flow and hopefully get most of it done so that we can get to the Jeep events we’re going to this year Wish us luck!!! 😂
Love your rig. I hope to get mine there soon. Do you have frame stiffeners? Nice to see you keeping the 242 transfer case alive. I have the same and love the full time. You don't see them that often!
Hey!!! Actually today we added frame stiffeners. Something we’ve wanted to do for a long time. We found a crack so it’s a good thing we’re doing it! And yes, keeping the 242. We thought about it but decided against changing it. Thank you for watching and commenting!! It means a lot! ❤️🐞
really cool project, been here almost from the very beginning and loving it! yeah i agree the JK44s would be a waste of time. you guys did alot of mods and didnt video it apparently, i really dig the bumpstops, i used hockey pucks in the front on mine. so you dont have to sell me the front bumper, ive got a line on one from a guy here in Michigan and its going on my Comanche build im working on. you guys are awesome, loved the channel for ever, cant wait for this rebirth of the GOAT in 2022👍
You have been around for a long time!! Thank you for your continued support!!! In the summer of 2020 when we did Phase II it was done by a shop. So there are no videos. For this build we’ll be doing a lot of it ourselves (with help from a friend that I’ll introduce) So we’ll have lots of videos for you to see what we do. It won’t be How-To Videos, but you’ll be able to see it all happen!!!
Hey Guys what was your break in procedure for you 4:88 gears. Having some installed soon but want to know the best procedure from people with experience. Thanks in advance.
For the 1st 500 miles you have to take it slow. Drive it everyday (because it’s 500 miles 😂) but short distances. Nothing fast and furious. Then after 500 miles, take it back into the shop. That’s about it 👍 We’re about to break in our new gears too once we get the one ton axles back from the shop. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Also, let the diff cool completely before you drive again. The goal is to not let them get too hot. No highway driving at all if possible. If you have to - only 60mph for no more than 20 minutes The initial First drive is 15-20 minutes. Then let diff cool completely. No towing or hard acceleration!!!! Hope this helps! Was a good reminder for us too 😊

Awesome walk around! The video I’ve been waiting for !
Thank you!!!
Glad you liked it! We thought people would be interested to know what the build is now. Very capable platform and would recommend to anyone!
Cant wait for this build! Been wanting to do tons on my XJ

So good to see a video from you guys! And The Goat is so awesome!!! That thing has been a beast! Great build is! But it’s gonna be a monster when your done!
Thanks Beeps! We were both very sick for 2 weeks. But, we are back!
Thank you Beeps! Can’t wait to show you the process- Good and Bad

You’re right- it’s a tough little Goat. But since we want bigger tires we will need to up the ring and pinion 👊 #ajeepisneverdone 😂

Duddie!!
Thanks Duddie! Just got over 2-3 weeks of being down with Covid. So we’ve been talking about the build - but it kept getting put off. Today it begins!!!! 🙌
Need some shackle relocation brackets get a better angle in the rear end and flex better. It’s a game changer
You’re right! We’ll have those in our new build for sure!
I had two XJ 1988 2door. And a 1992 four-door XJ. Both four wheel drive manual transmission. Yeah I miss them
Bet you had some good times in them!
@@GoatOffroad yeah they did amazing things. I had to replace a driver side axle. Broke it

O yeah!! Looking forward too every minute.. I be putting a new motor in my xj. It let go bad right now I’m working extra hard ..
We’ll put a new motor in ours one day too. Not during this build- but one day. Sorry to hear about yours going out. Good luck with the build ❤️🐞
Can't wait to see it!
Can’t wait to show you!!! 🙌
I'm tellin ya.... long arms are a day and night difference. I totally would recommend doing that, before doing 1tons.
We’re excited for the long arms too but want bigger tires. So we have to upgrade
That’s a lovely rig🤟 new sub here, cool content guys!
Thank you so much!!! Thank you for subscribing! Lots of fun ahead! ❤️🐞 Bug
Do y’all have a video on the Disk brake conversion? What year ZJ ?
We ordered a kit from TeraFlex and the shop did the work. So there’s no video.
Joe thinks 94-98 ZJ will work
With the tons under it why not OM or 4BT it?
We are eventually going to do a motor swap. Would love to go with a diesel.
Thank Joe for answering that one 😉
I found a 4bt for $4000 I’m going to snatch with a Dana 60 and sterling for an extra $1200. So I’m in the same boat on axles.
@@dieseldirt3994 fyi Joe you just got a new subscriber and follower

really cool project, been here almost from the very beginning and loving it! yeah i agree the JK44s would be a waste of time. you guys did alot of mods and didnt video it apparently, i really dig the bumpstops, i used hockey pucks in the front on mine. so you dont have to sell me the front bumper, ive got a line on one from a guy here in Michigan and its going on my Comanche build im working on. you guys are awesome, loved the channel for ever, cant wait for this rebirth of the GOAT in 2022👍

Thank you! 🥰
Is this short arm or long arm lift?
Clayton short arm. We’re putting on long arms now
Do you daily this?
It drives great around town. But we trailer it.
Trailering is also nice in case it breaks on the trail.
Your jeep needs a v8 swap
A Jeep is never done 😃
@@GoatOffroad that's for sure
