I would take this over the new Cherokee any day, nice work 👍
I have a new Chrokee and would agree lol. Will say the new Cherokee is way cheaper though : )
Also have a 78 Chief wide track : )
Love them both.
would love a deep dive episode on the quadratrac, I think its super cool being one of the first AWD type systems
The cylinder head is grounded to the block via the cylinder head BOLTS, not the head gasket. You will NOT have any issues grounding to the head as long as all connections are clean.
Yep. That's where the factory ground connections are as well. Front passenger side and rear driver side of the heads.
Excellent work, I have one like that, too bad I don't have money to even change the rings, much less for an engine and suspension like that, congratulations on your work, greetings from Mexico
Had a simmilar Cherokee my sophomore year of college......but it was a stick with the crawler 1st gear. Killer vehicles!
So interesting to watch all the problem solving! Good work.
GREAT VIDEO CHRISTIAN!!!!! UPGRADES FOR ANY BUDGET!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!! I LEARNED SO MUCH!!!!
Exactly what I wanted to do with my 77 Cherokee chief unfortunately it was stolen while I was in the middle of restoring it. Great work guys. Still my dream vehicle.
Love the older Cherokee chiefs. I have a 2000 Cherokee and I wish you guys lived closer. Having trouble finding places to work on it.
I love that I pay for the motor trend app and this is on TH-cam before the app
Awesome build.
Would love to see a comparison video between Christian’s SJ and the one Brad Kowitz is building over on Trail Recon. You guys are North County Neighbors!
Wow what an amazing job done and so fast! I'm deciding on whether or not to buy a 1978 chief. It's running, but I get the impression it's gonna require a lot of work. How much would a renovation like this cost?
The OEM 1 in. Tube on front drive shaft should be increased to modern size (2 or 3 inch dia.) Since you have to make a new one, the stock fsj little tube is prone to twisting.
Great job 👍👍🇨🇱
Good guys over at WOR
Can't wait to do something similar to my '79 Cherokee Chief. I see you kept the quadratrac. Do you like it better than say a D300?
Sick
Good luck 👍
I must of missed it, but how do you do a burnout with quadratrac?
That’s such a rad rig Christian!! And now it’s going to be reliable🤦♂️🤦♂️
I have a 83 jeep Cherokee where can I get a fuel tank like that?
You obviously know, good nuff.
How much would a swap like that cost
Ive got a d44 and dana 60 out of a 79 J20 in utah, just west of salt lake city. They will bolt right in that thing.
so you keep these guys but axed dirt everyday?
We need more of these back on the road.
Still being quadratrac the front shaft vibes without the cv are going to suck.
🎉
You are grounding through the head bolts, path of least resistance.
Not bad for a "Rookie"... lol ( Hi Christian )
Love the Chiefs.. had and have a few.
God I hate that I live in the rust belt.
I hear you brother. Upstate NY and we have lost some great vehicles to the terrible decease called rust.
Beautiful truck, you don’t see many of these around anymore, but this one is mint
67 Gladiator is not AMC, it is a Kaiser.
My Dad has one of these just sitting in his driveway. Spider webs, dust...flat tire
@Telegram That_PedalShow Where Goddamnit?!?!?
Why LS Swap it...
Honestly. I'd say a stock 6.2 hemi would be enough.
why post the videos on TH-cam when the full episodes are only available for North Americans viewers ????
Awesome build !
SEEMS LIKE A REBUILD ON THE 360 WOULD HAVE SERVED THE SAME PURPOSE.
How come this episode did not go to the MTapp?
I remember when Hazel bought this in the JP magazine days.
It’s so dumb every show has to burn out,that’s not testing that putting tons of wear on new parts
Which new parts? The engine has no idea what the tires are doing
Right!? Burn outs are for children.
Он выглядит как 24 Волга)))

@@theofficialtysonschickenyo9356 Love the channel name
As soon as I heard “LS”, I immediately became uninterested. Like come one, you can’t tell me a 360 wouldn’t have been just as simple and cheap to build😐
A 360 ain’t a cheap rebuild. The parts are much more expensive then parts for a chevy 350
You can find good running LS motors everywhere with EFI…cheap.
I would prefer this Jeep with 360 too.
Then add injection, new front accessories that aren't misaligned from the factory, exhaust manifolds that don't crack or headers that don't leak, etc, etc. Or I could just walk over to the corner of my garage that already had an LS engine sitting there waiting for a project that needed it and use that. I just want this particular Jeep to go down the road every time I turn the key. I don't give a darn what's under the hood making it do so. Anyway, I gave the engine and tranny to a guy who is gonna rebuilt them and use them in his FJS pickup, so I didn't junk anything.
@@ChristianHazel What I’m saying, at least for me, is that putting an LS into literally everything ends up lacking soul and integrity when it would be just as simple for these guys to get a drivetrain that’s closer to the brand of the vehicle it’s going in. These guys have the money and know how, yet nearly every time they have a chassis to something regardless of the manufacturer, “LeTs dRoP a TrEe-FiDdY iNniT!” Sorry, but it just lacks class to me🤷🏼♂️
Anyone know the cost just for this engine/transmission swap?
