I've got a 2001 Limited with the 4.7. That engine rips. I had a new one installed 4 years ago and rewired the doors and switches. It's honestly 100% operational. All the interior lights work down to the glove box and ash tray. I installed a new power seat frame and motors. Besides the interior bits, parts a cheap. Very nice ride dogg.
I have a 2001(WJ) Laredo with 28S package (Appearance). V8, Quadratrac II. Bought it new. 83,000 now. Didn't want Limited because of troublesome ATC. This Jeep will go through anything. Love it ! Alot of people like the looks of the WJ over the other gens.
Just bought my first used 99 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo with 4.0l Quadra Trac system. It's rust free, looks great and drives really good. I haven't had it off-road yet and curious if they good as one with a transfer case 4wd
My dad used to have a 2002 Grand Cherokee Limited with the 4.7-litre SOHC PowerTech V8 when I was a kid, and it had possibly the most comfortable seats of any car I've ever sat in. However, I use the term 'car' loosely here, since it was actually closer to a giant sofa with a big engine and four wheels attached to it. I remember when we picked it up back in July 2010, and from the moment 10-year-old me sat in it for the first time, I was in heaven as the seats were just oh-so-comfy, and I felt myself almost sinking into them with just how soft and comfortable they were, they were more like comfy armchairs than actual seats!
That's the engine my GC has. Absolutely trouble free with plenty of power. Jeep's biggest mistake was discontinuing that engine back in '06, now Jeep enthusiasts are hunting for them.
That's a highly desirable option package right there. 4.7l V8 with the heavy duty NV242 Select-trac transfer case. The T-case has a bigger chain than the 4.0l straight six NV242. They didn't make very many configured like that, most came with the NV247 Quadra-trac or Quadradrive. Of course, it's super common these day's to see people pulling out the quadradrive t-case in favor of the select-trac, it literally bolts in with almost no modifications needed. It has all the same gearing and 4wd options, just manually operated vs. automatic 4wd with the quadradrive. Well worth the asking price for that vehicle.
@@johnwestfall1634 So far so good. Got the build sheet from Dodge and found it also has vari trak. Also upgraded the sound system as one channel in the Infinity system was blown. I do want to figure out how to improve fuel economy though. Overall it's very nice. 🙂
My '01 GC had the same problem as the one in your video - the supports for the rear glass quit working. For a mere $25 and a couple of simple tools, however, I was able to replace them easily and now they hold the glass up just fine. If this happens to any of you, DO NOT take it to a shop or the dealer, they'll charge you an arm & a leg. If I can fix it easily at home, anybody can.
I had an 04 GC AWD with the 4.0 and I absolutely loved it. The ONLY reason I sold it was the lack of power. It couldn’t pass ANYTHING on the highway. It was such a dog. My brother had a 01 with the 4.7 and it was a night and day difference. Would definitely buy either one just not another AWD model. We both never really had any issues with our jeeps. Owned mine for 2 years and same for him.
Wait till you try an 04 with the 4.7l HO engine. Get a tuner for the engine and a drop in K & N replacement air filter, will put you just under 300 hp, and with the stock 3.73 gearing, it will get up and go.
My dad had one of these for 10 years and he says it was his favorite car. He replaced it with a Ford Expedition, and he just bought a 2020 Grand Cherokee, so now I’m looking for videos about this particular model.
I dont know about that grand cherokee, but mine has amazing throttle response. As soon as I hit the gas it pulls you back its the 4.7 V8 as well. Maybe that specific model wasnt maintained properly. Mine hjust hit 210k miles still going strong 👌
2:12 Mike: You are incorect. Later on for this same generation, the OVERLAND came out with a few upgrades above the Limited version such as: adjustable pedals, tow hooks, rock sliders, skid plates, etc.
every one kids me about my 01 laredo it has about 169,000 miles on it. they say its over 20 yrs old get a new one. i have it about 3 yrs and practicaly rebuilt it TRANS,REAR DIF,BEARINGS,ETC.so to me the car is only a few yrs old.
I disagree that they're higher quality than the zj , the ZJ has a nicer interior and just feels a bit more special, another great thing about the ZJ is the rear seats go completely flat and the lower bench pops out, so you get morre space... I don't know why all cars don't have this
For the second gen, that would be the gps nav that was optional for that model. In addition, there is a upgrade stock radio that you could have chose as well that had a screen on it too.
I’m starting to look for 99’ Grand Cherokees but I have no idea where to look for one in decent condition… Does anyone know where I can find a decent one?
Just bought a 99 4X4 inline 6 with 112k for 2200 today here in vegas...everything works. My 4th Grand Cherokee...love em
Probably going to buy one with 180k , rwd, laredo trim I believe. Gonna have a mechanic check it . Seems like a well built and reliable car
I love mine Laredo, bare bones model... WJ is one of the most iconical SUVs in history
Idk man , tha Explorer pretty good

its a gas guzzler but you know it will last you forever
my 04 WJ has the 4.0 in-line six. We are at about 245,000 miles.
Any issues im looking at a 04 with 148,000

The 4l inline 6 has a rep for being able to last like Toyota. Shame Jeep didn't keep it and use on Liberty and future Jeeps too😔

probably really high mileage, that has a front tow hook up, it got pulled around by a motorhome.
Another rare feature this has is the navigation system. If im not mistaken its a bit of a precursor to the RB1 radio's.
Which 4wd outperforms the other
You mean Quadra Trac system
Just bought one of these with the 4.7 V8. Hoping for the best and thumb up for the review.
How is it going so far?

I've got a 2003 Overland with the 4.7 H.O and it´s the best...
Pick one up while you still can, these things are harder and harder to find

The 2nd Generation GCs are still the best looking when it comes to all the GC generations for body styling!
I love the Grand Cherokee 99 and I like a 4wd in blaze orange. This car is an unexpected perfect combination to me.
Wow a WJ V8 with the select Trac. Very rare
I got the 4.0 and it won't die I love it
i love my jeep special edition still fixing it up

My cherokee is fast
Ive owned 2 of these and currently drive a 2015 nissan, ready to get rid of it for another WJ ! 🤣🇺🇸😎
Im gonna get my 04 jeep grand cherokee limited v8 tomorrow and it has 134k miles. Wish me luck. I can't find the v6 engine so i'll just get the v8.
How is it now
What size AT tires are on that please?
Yea the 4.7 is a beautiful engine and the cars are very nice and designed good . But I've been let down to many times sensors and electrical things
My dad had one of these for 10 years and he says it was his favorite car. He replaced it with a Ford Expedition, and he just bought a 2020 Grand Cherokee, so now I’m looking for videos about this particular model.
I think he'll love his 2020 too. The new Grand Cherokees are without a doubt one of the nicest SUVs you can buy right now.

Overland didn't come out until 2002.
Thx Mike. Good review. They were even better when Daimler came around.
6:24 You forgot to mention the 4.7 H.O. version which is a big upgrade from the normal 4.7 with more agressive cams, forged internals, etc.
Yes, the one I wish I had, please stop reminding me.

The WJ in this video is in exceptionally good condition
What's that extra screen on the dash. I think it says Chrysler on it 🤷♂️🤔
For the second gen, that would be the gps nav that was optional for that model. In addition, there is a upgrade stock radio that you could have chose as well that had a screen on it too.
bought an 02 for my middle son...drives it to highschool......ive been very happy with it....nice cars.......they are gas hogs but what can you do
Gonna sound like a jerk here but to top of the line for the WJ is actual the Overland :-) Great video though
Close. The Overland wasn't introduced until 2002, so at the time (2000) Limited was the highest optioned trim.
Can I find a Limited with the 4.0 engine.from factory. PLEASE help.ty
i’m not entirely sure if they were produced however you can always swap !
Yes I have a 2004 limited edition aka special edition with 4.0

Why does this always happen 😂
I have a 2022 Laredo E. I don’t have half the features this 23 year old Jeep does lol

Yeah lol give it 20 years.
I like everything except the taillights
Id buy that one for that price all day

Christ it's Matt Damon
Rough idle
So it's basically a four door Pinto Wagon with 4x4, Lol
Range rover was the first
First to break.
This is 3rd gen 😁

Have you owned or driven a ZJ yet ?
