Cool old Jeep...can relate --will be daily driving my 72 Duster that I put on a 85 Ramcharger frame (Dana 60 with 4.10 gears on 33 inch BF Goodrich mudders)
Thats awesome 👌
I’ve been daily driving my XJ on tons and 40’s for years. Love it. Glad I’m not the only one!
God damn that ax15 looks like it shifts nice! F this BA10 feels like I’m shifting a slug
I dailyed a 1 ton 2000 xj on 40s for about 8 months, loved it except the ride wasn't always the smoothest but was awesome and got 15mpg
What gears?
@@matthewmurray5168had to be 4.50 or so, lower probably
Right on! I just got one on 40's and plan to daily it as well.
You boys are doing gods work ! Thanks for always answering my questions before I even have to ask them you guys explain everything ! Keep that shit up
We will try! Lol
My '84 2 door was the same color interior and exterior with the 5 speed manual. Put 187K miles on it. GF wrecked it.
I have roasted those '44 axes a lot. Guys would plow with my trucks, turn the wheel in deep wet snow, hammer the throttle, feel the joints banging and wonder why.
Two door XJ looks especially nice lifted like that.
Sweet rig! But no matter how many times you say its 1 ton they are still 3/4 ton axles lol
Of course
Technically those axles came on both 3/4 and 1 ton trucks so calling them either is correct.
Um actually 🤓 3/4 axles on the front and the back equals 1 1/2 tons 😎
This is some good info for me... Just got my license, planning a build on one of my father’s parts trucks, a 1969 Jeep Gladiator J3600, not necessarily for crawling, more for overlanding, and I might do 40’s.
40s get pricy real quick and nor really needed for overlanding. I'd do 35s and an ls and let er eat 🤘
@@dylangreen9819 after looking at M715’s, I’ll probably go with 37’s. I think 35’s would look too small on a full-size truck, but 37’s would be perfect. And, that way, I might not have to axle rebuild right away once I get ahold of some one tons. And no way I’m gonna do an LS, my dad is a Buick guy, which is why he got into these trucks, they came with Buick 350’s. I think he would disown me if I put a Chevy motor in it 😂
@@reidthompson8979 Buick and Chevy are GM! Lol
My best friend always wanted to 1 ton swap and 40s on his 2 door xj 5 speed , all we did was cut finders and do 35s. He took it up to Vermont and rolled it and padded away, I wish he woulda seen this video. Looks amazing
Sorry for your loss
Damn that shifter makes me want to go back to a ax15. I had one in mine but swapped back to an auto for wheelin.
Yea most people like the autos wheeling. We prefer the sticks still, little bit of an extra challenge but you dont have that torque converter pushing you down rocks
It was just a pain getting up and over obstacles without extra gearing. The auto was a easier cheaper solution. I have a manual shift controller on mine with lock up torque converter. Im happy with it so far. I got an atlas going in soon.
I sold my xj on tons and 38s, had a Dana 300 twin stick and built auto trans with the aftermarket manual shift rail....wish I never got rid of it!!! Sold for $10k and Id buy it back any day
don't listen to clubxj.. I started laughing so hard bro lmao
Rather than the LS swap you should consider a 4.6/4.7 7120 head 99 intake Stroker build.
Our other xj is a turbo 4.0 build we wanted to do something different engine wise with this one
You can totally daily drive a one ton XJ. I used to daily drive my 1995 with a Dana 60 and 14 bolt on 37s.
What gears did you run?
@@juanalmanza1998 I ran 5.13
Same running 5.13
Awesome jeep man, great tip on the shifter change.
Pretty sure Dana44s are only 1/2 - 3/4 ton rated axles, not 1 ton. Don't matter how much money you put in 'em. Smaller internals, smaller tubes, smaller shafts. Still a nice Cherokee, gotta love the 2 doors. Should push that rear axle back a few inches though, looks like it'd eat the front of the rear fender with any up travel.
Got my axles goin be doing this so as weather brakes
Exeryone in the part of Kentucky where i grew up drove a lifted truck of some kind.
I'm Jelly. I want to do a similar build. Good job man. Thank you for sharing.
Do ittt!
Sweet jeep! I don't even want to guess the MPGs you are getting...
A LS swap would awesome!
Getting like 10-12 not terrible
These are things I need to know.
You done a great job on her. Hope all is well. Looking forward for the next video
Yooooo LS swap soon? Can't wait to see that!
The rear not cheap a lot of people leave the lef springs in the rear I would just get a couple cans of black spray paint and spray them it looks good nice work dudes
#leafspringsareforpoorpeople lol
Hey! Glad to see the videos are going well
Thanks alot!
You should def. show up what's under the hood and what kind of mods you are running buddy.
Overall sweet vid.
Ty. guys for the cool content!
Cool build, but it looks like it doesn't flex any better than a stock XJ. I think you need to tub the rear, carve out the fenders a bit and give those tires some room to stuff so you can soften up the springs and give it some articulation.
Yea the rear definitely needs some cutting and the front is getting a 3 link bye bye radius arms
Finally an answer to the question of life itself...
Getting ready to ton my 00XJ
Meanwhile.... it's crazy how the new Gladiators can fit 40s almost stock.
40s are huge even on a Squarebody.
dang man this is awesome currently working on my xj have a 1989 cherokee with 96,000 original miles and currently building it out
any ideas on what to do i currently have a 3 inch lift with 31s redoing carpet soon but idk if i wanna completely build out like yours or somewhere in between
Sounds like it needs a turbo
@@Grewsum2Sum oh geez ok ill have to see about that finding parts for it or what not. i know you have a video on turbo jeep but do you have a video of yall actually building it?
We have a ton of vids on it
@@Grewsum2Sum alrighty ill have to watch them and see and was it hard to tune it since 1989 dont have obd2 on board
Have you guys ever done an ls swap on a xj, I have 01 on 35s looking to do the same. What part of jersey are you guys from
Ringwood nj!
That would be it!
Just a NYr with a rusty TJ on a measly set of 35s tryna say my pizza joint is better than yours.... like 2 years later😂
Thanks for the random vid
Damn!!! Thing is bad ass! Diggn’ the 2 door! I’m looking at getting an xj just not sure if there are better yrs than other yrs or what?! Kinda looking for something I can get out & do some wheeling & upgrade as things break, gather a bunch of parts, axles, suspension etc & start a build!!! Can’t wait to see that thing out in the! Subbed & liked!!!👍🏼🍻
97-99 are the best hope you find one!
@@Grewsum2Sum I picked up a 98 4 door with a chrysler 8.25 and an AX15
@@Grewsum2Sum i’m relatively local to y’all, i’m on LI
@@jamescannone1425 nice! Thats where we got the turbo jeep tuned
l got a 98 xj sadly 2wd but just fitted a front axle in and waiting to replace the trans and transfercase for 4x4
If you are going to do an ls swap please do a detailed video on how to ls swap a cherokee. There's not enough info on how to ls swap a xj
Thats the plan!!
ur music choice always chills me out
Thats what we're going for lol
"Don't listen to club XJ" lmfao
We don't lol
Nice XJ, daily wow
omg the outro killed me....... SICK SET UPPPP
Wait so wheres the one ton cherokee? The only one in the video isn’t one ton swapped....🧐
Its was on the beginning the black on you must have missed it
@@Grewsum2Sum Nice try man. We all know it’s just click bait cause you damn well know it’s not 1 ton and too broke to afford it😂
@@ballard12 yea cause putting 1500 axleshafts into something is being too broke your right.... I got it cause it has better clearance than a d60 and I wanted to prove to my brother you can make it work just as well as a 60 If you know what your doing
@@Grewsum2Sum you spent $1500 to make it as strong as a stock d60😂 the axle shafts that is. The rest of the axle is still as strong as a half ton axle💀but there’s still something that makes you want to claim it’s a 1ton to click bait and act like you didn’t waste your money💁🏻♂️
@@ballard12 we shall see how long it lasts with the ls
Looks like it needs a little bit more lift in the back, still nice job.
Yea I was hoping the front coils would settle a little but they haven't. The nice thing is the rear shackles are adjustable so I can push it up some more
I like that stance. Better approach angle . But not an issue w 40s i guess lol
Making me want a real wheeler. I soft road the shit out of a crv and this is making me want to upgrade.
Do eeeeeeet
well don't start with a cheroCAR
@@signlsirchir2156 No, that is exactly what he needs is an XJ. He needs to avoid a ToyotoyCAR at all costs🤣😂😏✊
F250 3/4 ton
Its a 1ton axle with 3/4ton spring pack.
Edit. Lol nvm dana 44 I've been duped
Flipping love the build
Thanks!!
I have an 88 with the 5 speed.... I think i might...
This thing is so sick
3/4** fix your typo
1/64**
Haha I’m about to swap Dana 44s to my xj soon
I wish I can do this to my zj
I got one on 33s its a nightmare one ton front stearing and rubicon lift 4.5
Sounds like its not setup right
@@Grewsum2Sum i wouldn't doubt it super trucks did it I've. Fixed like 4 things they messed up and they had my truck a month total with all new 4.5 rubicon lift and 1ton heim steering it goes with the road they said its bc theirs no play and i told them i drive it to work they said this is what u want .... Not this is for rock crawling
Awesome build... Dudez ! :] ]
Could you post a link for the shifter? Looks interesting. Thanks. God bless, stay well.

@@Grewsum2Sum Salty price for my budget. :(
@@projectbumblejeep4190 thought the same thing till you use it then realize why lol
That shifter looks so nice. The throw looks very short and tight for how long it is. 👍👍
@@oleroy4749 its absolutely amazing for what it is just a stupid shifter lol but, seriously im impressed with how great it is
Heck yea bro your channel is slapping!
Ikk its insanity! I can't believe how good this video is doing
Lol this thing's ALMOST as much of a kess as my DD Bronco LOOOOOOOL
Almost.... almost...
How did you build your drive shafts?
I drive that part of 208 every day lol
How much do you think you're into the rig now? Before the last swap
Probably a good 5 grand in suspension axles and tires
What's mpg with 40 and 5.13?
I'm lucky to get 15 in my xj
10-12
The body panels are way to straight. You definitely need to go play out in Johnson valley!
Agreed.
Cool!!
Do you need to have your tires covered in Jersey? In Pa we do
Cops try to give you a problem but they can only give tickets to commercial vehicles for no fenders
@@Grewsum2Sum I wasnt aware of that. The Pa cops dont like you going with your tires showing
Does the B&M shifter make a big difference? I did an ax5 to ax15 swap on my 4 banger YJ, but had to leave that out for my budget. I could put the money towards it now if it helps the ax15's weird problems. Sweet rig!!
It shifts like butter now through all the gears including reverse
@@Grewsum2Sum Awesome! My trans struggles for 2nd and reverse sometimes so maybe this would solve it. Thanks for the reply, I'll have to look into getting one for sure!
Any steering box brace or frame stiffiners i have a identical build in my 95 4dr im in process of building same axles as well 👍
Full stiffners front to back no steering brace. I should get one though
Who needs synchros 🤷🏻🤣
The problem is that if you took this on a serious trail you'd break a ball joint, transfer case chain, or your trans. You really need a np435 or t18 for a trans and a 205 or atlas for a t case.
You are kidding right? This think can handle plenty oh big rocks
cute steering wheel hahaha
awesome
Just needs a sticker haha 😉
Wow good

Black rock
Hey man can you give me the part number for your b&m short throw shifter? The two that I found say that it won't fit my 1994 ax15
They will dont listen. Go to b&ms website, type in the year make model and get the part number you need its the same as the one that "doesn't fit"
Where can I find that short throw shifter!!!
go to b&m shifter website and type in year and model of your jeep
Did the turbo build ever get finished?
Not yet still doing all the fab work
@@Grewsum2Sum can't wait to see it finished, have really enjoyed your videos
where did u find a single cab cherokee
They are around you just gotta keep an eye out
where is the snow plow vid????? been waiting
We keep forgetting to grab our when we go....
@@Grewsum2Sum stick a piece of tape on plow truck dash. print CAMERA on it. more snow conning. we had 1/2 inch last week. looking forward to plow vid
Will do lol
Do you know the part number of the B and M shifter that you got?
45059
@@Grewsum2Sum thanks really appreciate it, just ordered one
How is the steering on 40s with the stock gear box and no hydro assist? Can you turn in low range?
Absolutely fine till you shove the tires up against big rocks then its a pain lol
@@Grewsum2Sum awesome! Thanks for the quick reply. I'm doing fully built Ford Hp44 and 9" big bearing rear. Gonna run 39s. Was concerned about the steering... I have Chevy high steer knuckles so there will be virtually no angle on the drag link so that should help a tiny bit with steering feedback.
Some anti rust on the chassis 😩
Is it a short shifter on the transmission? Any brand?
B&m is the brand!
Are you running the factory pitman arm?
I have an 89 MJ with a 60/14B swap on 40's and my steering left to right is off. I'm assuming its because I have my drag link connected to the knuckle like you did and I need to relocate the mounting location closer to the pivot point of the knuckle.
Its not off whatsoever what size lift are you running? I'm about 4.5-5 in the front of this
@@Grewsum2Sum rusty's 4.5" springs up front.
@@tslucam weird
@@Grewsum2Sum so are you running the factory XJ pitman arm and steering for that year?
@@tslucam just the factory arm, the steering is ruff stuff heim steering
What mpg u get and is that a big ol frame crack at 4:58
That's the joint between the front and mid frame siffiners
Big choochhhh
Just the cost of wearing down 40s on blacktop turns me off.. don’t give me wrong it’s badass and love it but this poor boy idk be hard to justify the cost
You gotta play to play
What does one ton means? Cuz its not one ton im pretty sure only tyres are quarter of ton
It has to do with the axles
@@Grewsum2Sum its almost two tons with these tyres
We’re did you buy the shifter
Quadratec.com
5.13s on 40s and here I am with 4.88s on 35s lmao
You have a manual or auto that matters beeg time
@@Grewsum2Sum I'm auto but my next set of tires is going to be 37+, a friend is trying to talk me into buying his 39.5 iroks not sure if I'll be able to swing them though
@@mikebarr5628 I would definitely re-gear if you are going 37s
@@Grewsum2Sum not going to regear till I swap to tons someday shouldn't be too bad on 37s hell i drove a 2.8 v6 xj on 36s with 4.10s for years, that was a dog lol
I had 4.10s on 40s before I did the 5.13s and it was sooooooo slow
Is the frame broken? Am I the only one who noticed it? Or is it just an optical illusion?
Optical illusion
Cool xj build but floating those gears made me cringe so hard
Merica!!!!!!!!!!!
Gonna stretch the rear any?
Possibly in the future but as of now no I don't want to move the gas tank
@@Grewsum2Sum I hear you, I ran generally the same setup for years! Once we finally stretched the rear a bit the road manners and general offroad performance was instantly noticeable. Went through a few rear driveshaft before putting a simple torque bar.
Link to that shifter??
