Dang! Glad the trans fluid didn't catch fire on the hot exhaust. Could have been scary. Sugar creek loop is definitely beautiful area tho. We've taken the kids out there in the past for a picnic and to just check out the countryside.
Loving this XJ content guys... Bummer about the bolt eating into the trans lines. Yep it needs a little lift for sure. Great video with the family! Aussie fan. 🦘🇦🇺👍
Your jeep started just like mine. I wanted to keep it a small built, take the kids out and explore roads and stuff. Now it’a pretty built lol, it snowballs fast. Even with a lift that isnt that big, long arm setup makes a big difference on and off road.
that thing was modded a lot more than you thought in that first video. great job on the repair of the trans lines. tough mistake to find out in the middle of nowhere
Rough Country gets a bad rap. I have used several items from them ,including 4 inch long arm suspension, been on several trails in Moab and to Windrock and north Georgia and South Carolina, have had no problems . Very budget friendly.
Love this channel. I have learned a lot from watching. I am starting a channel. No content yet but it’s called @Maverick 4x4. Hopefully it will be as good as this channel. Looking forward to watching more fun!!
Hey Ben, I wish would have changed out those bushings in the axle. I have a JK that needs a new set. Got any tips? I have a China Freight ball joint press but no fancy vehicle lift in my garage like yours lol.
I will add that to the video list! It’s not too hard to do. I would suggest swapping over to a Johnny joint style while your doing it though (if you have a flexy suspension)
Wanted to ditch the rubber style bushing on the one side. The Clayton arms are much higher quality. I’ll rebuild these old arms and sell them on marketplace!
@@JKGearandGadgets I’m a local volunteer firefighter and that function would be very helpful when monitoring personnel when fighting brush and forest fires
Hey Ben , I have a situation with my stock 2007 jeep sahara, the bracket that is welded to the rear axel which holds the rear track bar cracked right off the axel as I was driving I heard something being dragged, which was the track bar... What do you think or recommend I do to fix ???
Your going to have to find someone or a shop to weld on a new bracket for you. I would suggest this Barnes bracket or another weld on bracket that is beefier than stock. barnes4wd.com/products/jeep-jk-rear-track-bar-bracket

Typical old Jeep problems! As always you make it all look so easy to do and like it was no problem. Glad to see you guys having fun in the new Jeep!

Great video Ben and family!
Loving the xj content
Adding sugar creek loop to my list of overland journeys
Really enjoying the XJ videos! Keep them coming!

Good ol' Purgatory Road. Saw someone post it got washed out pretty bad lately.
Your always quite resourceful Ben. Too bad car washes do not have lifts.
Whoops! Live and learn. Fun new ride.
That is pretty interesting - running stock height with adjustable control arms.
And so it begins!!!….Just a lift and control arms…but…well maybe “just” some axles…but….ok….driveshafts…but that’s it….until the LS….
HI Cassie, HI girls, Glad to see you all!! Sorry the Cherokee wasn't doing its part 😢 NEXT TIME!!
Thanks for taking us on your family adventure! Windows down in July in Oklahoma? AC is broke?
One of the lines froze up! I think it’s a little low on refrigerant. On the list of things to look at 🤣
That car didn’t even have a snorkel! 🤣🤣🤣
Any trip is fun in a cherokee!

Nice video. I would have just did away with the trans cooler in the radiator.

Will you be making another surprise guest appearance in Pigeon Forge this year 🤔
It's bad when 💩 happens 👍👍😃
Seatbelt ben!!!!
4bt swap that xj 😊 with some 2 tons
😮. Sounds like a party!
Hey, I don’t think that transmission sounds happy. 😉
🤣. Can confirm! Trans did not sound happy! Lol
Why not rebuild the arms you have?

@@JKGearandGadgets that’s a great reason! Was just wondering.
Crap happens man
Can you share your location with another onX user live?
No, I wish you could though, that would be an extremely useful feature
@@JKGearandGadgets maybe something to propose
@@Stevenfclark I’ve been meaning to ask them about it! Thanks for the reminder

@@Stevenfclark they are working on it 😎
its not a proper XJ build with at least ONE rough country part 😆
🤣. Exactly!

@@JKGearandGadgets awesome ..thank you, I thought I would have to replace the whole axel housing
