@@bigpoppy3 well all car channels when they run out of content ideas jump the shark and do “Facebook finds” it’s the tell tale sign when a car channel is dying. When he starts doing that then we should be worried
@Mis73rRand0m nah. JK and JL Wranglers end up getting stuck and saved on the trails by either Toyotas or built XJs meant for those types of conditions.
Man I just sat down and was absorbed for 42 minutes. That was fantastic, I aspire to have your attitude towards solving problems. Keep doing what you doing bro. o7
I love your energy and being real about the situation. No flashing screaming over dramatic bullshit and genuinely being funny. Also long video format is great insted of many short ones. Definitely want to have similiar mindset when i get to have cars of my own.
I try to hit the high points of what I'm doing as much as I can. There's a lot of stuff I do I don't put in at all because I don't think it's interesting enough.
I actually love how you just did everything in this one video. I think you should sell it and move on and then give us something cool again in a few weeks/month
Hands down, this is the most interesting rebuild I’ve ever seen recorded. Your attitude and humor is awesome for someone young (like me). The editing is really well done and there wasn’t a second of downtime. Was gonna go to sleep with this running but ended up leaning out of bed and watching the whole thing because you’re just hilarious man. Keep this up man you’ve got my subscription for sure 👍
I've driven my 92' back and forth to work for 15+yrs. It's never once left me on the side of the road. I did need to find a steering column at one point. You're correct. If you go to a wrecking yard, all's you see is a set of keys laying on a floor pan..
@ I finished the video and yeah tbh I was surprised with how you got it running, really impressive. Looked to see if there was an update only to be gut punched by your shop burning down In so sorry man, what a terrible outcome.
I've always had a soft spot for the YJ, especially with the 4.2 or the 4.0 and the 5 speed. They look like they'd be so fun on tighter dirt roads, and even trips to the grocery store, with the bouncy leaf spring setup.
From ripping out 6 metric tons of wiring with no connectors or loom, and endless hard lines and vacuum lines from an 83 Eldorado, props to you for being able to manage it and get it running properly 😆🙌
This is what happened to that weird dude you hung out with for one class in middle school who you didnt understand his jokes but you still laughed at them because he said them in a funny way
technically 88 was the first year of Mopar owning AMC, so most of the querky problems can be attributed to RENIX (Renalt and Bendix). im in for more Jeep content👍
I quite enjoy the video. Took me back to when I was in my 20s fixing my 1986 CJ7. Same engine, carb, distributor and almost everything. Great job. Granville King and Dwag would be proud.
My favorite of the modern(ish) and newer "wranglers" is the LJ. 2 door, a slightly extended wheelbase and body... Throw some 37s on it and it's perfect. And if your past restoration projects are anything to go by, this is finna be functional and bitchin.
I'd imagine the LJ is more durable too. The dana 35 rear end in the YJ is glass as well as the hateful engine management. The fuel injected 4.0l is probably better, though.
This is a little thing, but I love how you put *10* w-30 in it. I did a bunch of research on oils a few years ago and came to the conclusion that nowhere but the Midwest needs 5w, and nowhere in the lower 48 needs 0w. Generally, the closer the two numbers the less likely the oil is to evaporate under use (I think this is called NOACK?) so 10w30 is great for anywhere mild or warm in climate, and if you have an extreme use 10w40 or whatever weight that racing forums recommend is generally what you should go for. My ranger was about a quart low one day (thank god the light went off, quite UNlike my Scion tC before it) and I had 10W30 in it, so I walked to the corner store and said to myself "whelp, I don't wanna under-protect it after getting low, so I'm gonna thicken what I've got" and since they didn't have anything 10w, I put a quart of 15w-50 in there. If my math is right the oil should've been 11.25w-35 total by the end of that, so probably on the right track! Hopefully, the bastard lasts long enough after it's paid for so that I can sell it for 5k and move on.
@@Drunken_Hamster I want to do more stuff with the Jeep, but I also want a car trailer and wheels for the Sentra. It's hard to justify another vehicle when you already have 4, you know?
@@Drunken_Hamster I was surprised it calls for 5w30, I figured it would be more like 15w40 or thicker. Also you have a ranger, you can't kill a ranger.
You're right. Those old mechanical fuel pumps DO in fact suck. Takes a while for them to get fuel up to the carb but once you finally get the lines purged it doesn't take long to start.
Sweet revival! I would say finish deleting all the 80s crap and throw a regular carb on there. A whole vid of satisfying trashcan tosses. Then "restore" the wheels and get some fresh rubber, THEN sell it. Save the next owner the headache.
i just adore this content. As a mechanic myself it can be so shit watching other youtubers work on cars and making it all fancy and bullsh%t but this guy has that charm that makes his video so fun to watch. Kudos man and keep up the great work cant wait for the next random project
The algorithm suggested this video repeatedly over the last 3 days, so I finally clicked. I enjoy your humor, running dialogue and knowledge as well as the editing, pacing and camera work. Subbed for sure. 👍
I'm two weeks late to this but I just discovered your channel and I love your sense of humor. I was skeptic about a longer video like this at first but you manage to keep it entertaining throughout the entire thing!
FYI you do not need the panhard bar on leaf springs, all it does is cause your leaf spring bushings to wear out quicker as it causes the axle to deflect to the side during articulation. If you have starting issues, missfires, weak power under acceleration or just random shutting down on an early YJ with a 4.2 it is very likely your ICM is faulty, look up the Nutter Bypass. If you want to get rid of it, I will gladly give you $500 for it!
They decided to add a panhard bar at the factory, I just didn't question it and put it back. I read about the nutter bypass, but it was running good enough so I didn't do it
@@HatersGarage The bar was put on because of the old body CJ's stability. They really do not work and always break off. Look at any other solid axle / leaf spring setup, no one runs them, You have better spring travel, and a better ride without it, as the springs can flex up and down without being pushed and pulled sideways, It also messes with steering to a point on bumps. Hit a bump, and it tries to push and pull the axle side to side,
It might not be much to write home about, but I really appreciate seeing you put on earplugs just to use something like a vacuum. People really don't know just how loud very common things are and get used to not using earplugs when vacuuming. Even if it's not something you point out that you do, it's a fantastic example to set. Thank you. You only get one set of ears in your life.
WHAT?? WHAT DID YOU SAY??? I do try to wear my PPE, wearing earplugs around my neck makes it convenient so I'm more likely to wear them. I'm trying to remember to wear things like gloves when welding and working with chemicals more often too
Please please please create more content like this! I would love to see the Jeep get an EFI system. Your comedic timing is fantastic and reminds me of the automotive techno blade.
Man, that 4.2 is such a nice engine. I had the last year of the YJ, so 1995, and it was...interesting. It was a 2.5, five-speed, Rio Grande (some odd trim pack) and it was a great Jeep with a tremendous amount of rust. The rust on yours was nothing like what we get in the People's Republic of PA.
I'm just leaving this comment on the most recent video so it hopefully get seen. Your videos are a gem of quality content. If vicegrip has two million subscribers (1.8 million being news zonked boomers reminiscing on the project vehicle they sold at a loss over like 4 beers) you realistically should have plenty more than you do now. You should go all in on this, brother. It gives me damn near an hour of non brain slop enjoyable content that is quality. I'd pay $20 a month for it. I'm guessing between 100 and 300 people are in the same boat.
ive been waiting for another one of these after the Expedition!! the finesse and grace at display here is unmatched, as always. what the heck are you gonna do with this thing?
It's so nice to hear somebody else go on a rant about old engines and especially carbys, i thought i was losing my mind surrounded by old guys telling me how much simpler things used to be, absolute load of bull. EFI takes about 5 minutes to diagnose a problem, meanwhile an hour later into the carb and you're pulling strands out of wire brushes to try and clean the crap off something absolutely tiny hoping that you don't need to adjust anything for the 500th time after you put it back on, it's crazy before you even get to that half computerized monstrosity you're dealing with. On a video note, been loving the content recently, keep it up
Man, you have a incredible voice. All that "OWW" "A HA" "YAMMY" "I SEE DEMEJ" - sounds amazing. God himself ordered you be voice actor, think about it.
First time in my life I am now a jeep guy , 2 this year, my wife wanted a 2019 Cherokee witch we drove 400 miles before Dodge got to put a new motor in it under warranty, mine is the same as yours 89 wrangler but they completely went through it before I came along and did all the upgrades I would have done . Thanks for your video.
As a fellow YJ owner, I think you should definitely keep this thing and change it up! Mine's a 93, so it's not 100% the same, but close enough that I can take tips! Great work, man!
The way you make your videos is perfect, don't linger in one place too long, do little cuts across progress, definitely what keeps people the whole 42 minutes, keep it up!
Hi, grew up in a Mopar house. The 4.2L inline 6's operating coolant temperature is 200-210⁰F, you can get lower temp thermostats and get it down to 180⁰F but these engines run hot
I really like to watch your content in my free time. You explain things well and put good humor in videos. Your exhaust series made me watch your channel and I was immediately in your videos. You put them well together, so thank you for your content.
Love the attitude, loved the video, real world thoughts and ideas. Some great laughs and insights. Thanks for making TH-cam a far better place - subscribed and can't wait for the next project! Keep it real chap!! Rgds from the UK.
i would end myself if i had to use a harbor freight flaring tool for ALL of my hard lines dawg. you are the sole reason I finally bit the bullet and bought my celica project car. i had to replace the brake line and got one okay flare out of the harbor freight and then never achieved it again. you're a real trooper
I wanted one of these as a kid. But living in Australia as a teenager, I was told Jeep stands for Just Empty Every Pocket. Needless to say I didn't buy one. Kinda nice to see something I wanted as a kid getting some TLC
@@HatersGarage Yeah I still have the car I bought instead some 25 year later - turbo MR2 SW20. It's just a sunday driver now. I've done nothing other than exhaust work, bushing replacements and the usual maintenance mechanically. Still makes me laugh what I did to that car in my 20's when I look at photos, absolutely filled with speakers and subwoofers. Now it's pretty much stock. Had I bought that Jeep I wonder what crimes against good sense and taste I would've done to that Jeep.
@@Midori_Ringo So it looked like a Fast and Furious background car in other words. Cool that you've kept it, I plan on keeping my first couple cars forever.
I like the way you have the grasp in all of this. I saw this on my feed and now i regret not watching it then, but i did now and now you have a new subscrub. Glad to be here.
I used to drive a 89 yj back in highschool. Reminder that these prefer higher octane fuel and usually run better on leaded fuel too. It’ll run on basic 87/89 but it runs better with higher octane leaded.
The stupid slave cylinder recently died in my Ranger. I usually end up with major "while I'm here" never ending project syndrome but somehow I managed to take the trans out, install an eBay slave/throwout and reinstall the trans while completely ignoring the leaking everything during the project. I feel like a new man.

Those AMC straight 6's are great, though the power difference between a carb'd 4.2 and the EFI 4.0 is considerable

best car mechanic youtuber out here, i actually stayed entertained and watched the whole entire video for once
I love your videos man. You're a funny guy, I would love to see you buy/repair/flip various vehicles.
I'm gonna keep an eye out for more cool stuff to fix
Nice little rebuild. Thanks for putting a YJ back on the road. Now EFI swap, stroker, lift kit it! You wont....
I really like to watch your content in my free time. You explain things well and put good humor in videos. Your exhaust series made me watch your channel and I was immediately in your videos. You put them well together, so thank you for your content.
I appreciate it
One of the most entertaining jeep rebuilds ever!!!! Was great!
The deep voice is gold lmao
Love the attitude, loved the video, real world thoughts and ideas. Some great laughs and insights. Thanks for making TH-cam a far better place - subscribed and can't wait for the next project! Keep it real chap!! Rgds from the UK.
Even if you never got it running, you still got an extra 10mm socket so that would have been enough.
Subbed for you being a fellow Virginian.
I got my start on old wheels a couple of years ago with an '88 YJ, which I now have in working condition.
I love the description of what is wrong with everything at the beginning
i would end myself if i had to use a harbor freight flaring tool for ALL of my hard lines dawg. you are the sole reason I finally bit the bullet and bought my celica project car. i had to replace the brake line and got one okay flare out of the harbor freight and then never achieved it again. you're a real trooper
My fingers were hurting by the time I was done. I'd like to have a 3rd gen Celica hatch, I might try to get one soon. Good luck with yours
@@HatersGarageI have the lame 6th gen, but a 3rd gen would be sick if you can find one thats not completely rotted out
Didn't expect THAT through the FM transmitter! 😂 Such a great video! THE VOICES.
I wanted one of these as a kid. But living in Australia as a teenager, I was told Jeep stands for Just Empty Every Pocket. Needless to say I didn't buy one. Kinda nice to see something I wanted as a kid getting some TLC
Jeeps are definitely not the cheapest things to own, especially new ones
@@HatersGarage Yeah I still have the car I bought instead some 25 year later - turbo MR2 SW20. It's just a sunday driver now. I've done nothing other than exhaust work, bushing replacements and the usual maintenance mechanically. Still makes me laugh what I did to that car in my 20's when I look at photos, absolutely filled with speakers and subwoofers. Now it's pretty much stock. Had I bought that Jeep I wonder what crimes against good sense and taste I would've done to that Jeep.
@@Midori_Ringo So it looked like a Fast and Furious background car in other words. Cool that you've kept it, I plan on keeping my first couple cars forever.
Please never change. These videos keep me alive.
Liked before i even watched the vid. Best channel on YT!
Good content man, keep it up.
I like the way you have the grasp in all of this. I saw this on my feed and now i regret not watching it then, but i did now and now you have a new subscrub. Glad to be here.
When a man can cause me to watch a 42 min video on a Jeep I would never want to own or drive... He has some skills... 😎
I used to drive a 89 yj back in highschool. Reminder that these prefer higher octane fuel and usually run better on leaded fuel too. It’ll run on basic 87/89 but it runs better with higher octane leaded.
I have a Jeep I’ve been fixing and daily driving for the past 4 years. MOPAR OR NO CAR had me in tears 😂
When you have a mopar, you have no car. (I also dabble in mopars)😂😢
I have owned my 1991 (with a CJ front-end conversion) for 23 years... best toy ever.
Walking, talking ytp. Love this guy.
pingus usual I see
The stupid slave cylinder recently died in my Ranger. I usually end up with major "while I'm here" never ending project syndrome but somehow I managed to take the trans out, install an eBay slave/throwout and reinstall the trans while completely ignoring the leaking everything during the project. I feel like a new man.
I could probably ignore that stuff if I tried really hard, would be difficult though
I never seen Brake Line so u can Break it with two fingers Break and by just looking at it too long 😂 and you the most Entertaining mechanic 😊 just Lovely
Unbelievably underrated man, you are genuinely funny.
