Sandbox Adventures is all about off-road fun in the Sandbox - our 1999 Jeep Cherokee XJ rock crawler. Follow us as we traverse some of the most rugged trails America has to offer! And of course, since things don't always go as planned while climbing over giant rocks, you can expect DIY repairs and upgrades to the Sandbox to be a reoccurring theme on the channel.

Jeep XJ Build - We Had a Little Fun and Turned A Wrench into an Exhaust Hanger
zhlédnutí 250Před 3 měsíci
#offroad #jeep #jeepxj #rockcrawling #diy #fatherson #fabrication #jeeplife #harborfreighttools The Sandbox had a terrible exhaust rattle because of a rusted out hanger so we fabricated a custom exhaust hanger from an old wrench. Why? Because we needed an excuse to practice welding and use our new bandsaw from Harbor Freight. Subscribe to catch the latest from Sandbox Adventures: czcams.com/cha...
Jeep XJ Build- Installing Rear Frame Stiffeners… But How Strong Are They Really?

#offroad #jeep #jeepxj #rockcrawling #DIY #jeepcherokee #jeeplife #fatherson Preston and I head back into the garage to work on the Sandbox, installing new rear frame stiffeners we purchased from @barnes4wd. And because I was curious, we did a little math and determined how much stiffer our unibody frame is now with the frame stiffeners. Subscribe to catch the latest from Sandbox Adventures...
Jeep Cherokee XJ Starter Troubleshooting & Replacement
zhlédnutí 1,1KPřed 5 měsíci
After installing our new rear bumper, our Jeep Cherokee XJ wouldn't start! So we did some trouble shooting and checked the battery, starter relay, starter fuse and narrowed it down to a bad starter which we replaced with a refurbished starter from @AutoZone without too much hassle. #jeeplife #offroad #jeep #jeepxj #rockcrawling #DIY #jeepcherokee #fatherson Subscribe to catch the latest from Sa...
Jeep XJ Build- Upgrade your Rear Bumper & Brackets!
zhlédnutí 768Před 6 měsíci
In this video we remove the stock rear bumper on our Jeep XJ and install a new off-road rear bumper. We decided to match our front winch bumper and bought the frame chopped version of the JK Pritchett Canyon rear bumper from @barnes4wd. Since the bumper is made for a frame chopped Jeep JK and not our XJ, we used some pretty sweet customizable mounting brackets from @DirtBoundInc to attach the b...

Will this work with an antirock sway bar?
i don’t have an anti rock sway bar but based off of pictures I feel like it should work. May need longer bolts for the anti rock sway bar because of the extra thickness of the brace though
Hi Preston, my name is Brian and I am including my daughter with the restoration of her jeep - I think what you are doing is super cool!!! Can you include the part number for the CPS and where you ordered it from? From one dad to another - keep rocking in the sandbox!
Thanks! Sounds like ya’ll have a fun project on your hands too. We ended up buying the Durlast SU3224 crankshaft position sensor from Autozone bc of shipping issues with the mopar brand. Knock on wood, but we’ve had zero issues with it since we installed it.
My 98 xj only stalls when I’m doing heavy off roading and i gotta let it rest for a couple mins and turns back on but in the city it drives perfectly fine no rough idle it doesn’t stall could it still be the crank position sensor??
It could be the start of one going bad, but that is odd it does it while off-roading and not city driving. When it does stall, are you at crazy angles?
did the CPS fix it?
As of this morning, yes. The jeep is still running strong! 💪
🙂
you both are amazing, love the videos, great work!
Thanks so much!
how did you repair the wire after stabbing it
The multi meter prong should be able to get a reading without actually puncturing the protective wire coating. But if it did, I’d use some electrical tape to cover it. If the wire somehow got really damage (very unlikely really), I’d splice it with a solder stick connection.
God bless
Kid knows his stuff
Yep, Preston is totally a gearhead!
Well, I'm a couple of days late getting to see your video, but as they say, better late than never. I really like the new jack, I would love to have one myself. You guys are ready for NASCR now. Been thinking about selling my old 88 XJ but haven't made up my mind. Don't get to ride it much these days and I hate to see it setting. Mom says don't get rid of it, so who knows. Y'all take care in this heat and next time you go on the trail think about this old man Preston and have fun!
Thanks! Im a big fan of the jack so far. I vote keep the XJ 😁
I love it!! That's such a cool idea 😊
Thank you!! 😊 Preston likes it a lot.
Good idea and both of your efforts in makeing an impressive peice ive never seen one like that before great work. Youve both done well
Thank you very much! It was Preston’s idea 💡
Thank you both so much. My offroad sleigh has been giving me grief for some time now and I've spent more money than I should have to fix the problem. Santa's going to have to leave something special for both of you under the tree this year. On a side note, Preston's smile in infectious and Mrs. Claus says Preston is "Just the cutest and most precious mechanic she's ever seen."
Thanks! Preston does have a pretty infectious smile and laugh too once you get him chuckling.
Nice 🙂👍
Thanks 😁
@@sandbox_adventures you're welcome
Do yall have any sandbox stickers
Not currently, but Preston has been saying we should get some.
I need a hat like Prestons when I am cruising my ZJ.
It’s one of Preston’s favs. Found it at a beach shop down in Pensacola FL
Looks good !
Thanks!
Good video! 🙌
Thank you!
Great stuff! Preston loves being out in the garage building the Jeep.
He’d probably never leave the garage if he had his way lol
Thank you for sharing the math on how much the stiffeners add to the frame. Curious as to how much variation that end result has based on how/where the stiffeners attach. Does that make much if any difference?
Thanks for the question, it’s a good one. And yes, it does make a difference where you add the stiffeners. Max deflection is typically near the center between your supports so that would be the ideal location for stiffeners but variation in your stiffness and where the load is applied (think rock crawler twisting and flexing and changing angles) can shift that max deflection around a lot. When we add our mid frame stiffeners, I think I might quickly cover how much welding is really needed.
@@sandbox_adventuresthank you for responding. I look forward to the next video . Me and my boys love watching your videos for the learning and jeep/4x4 content
Thanks!
Nice job guys!
Thanks! It was a quick fun one. How are you liking your new job?
These videos are sick, hoping to be able to see you guys turn some wrenches for quite some time.
Thank you! There will be plenty of turned wrenches and busted knuckles for the foreseeable future.
These kind of projects are what I like about older jeeps!
Agreed 💯
Amazing what you can do with an old wrench.
Yes indeed lol
I’ve been working on my XJ and found your channel. I’ve subscribed and look forward to watching all of your videos. You guys are pretty cool and jeepin is a great hobby! Thanks for the content!
Thanks! Preston got hooked watching Dirt Every Day on Motortrend and then the next thing I knew we own a jeep and are working on it/off-roading nearly every Saturday now lol.
Thanks for a great video 👍
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
Can Anyone help! My 01 Jeep Cherokee just stopped running before pulling out of drive-thru. No engine light or overheating gauges came on. After waiting 30 mins...started again with no engie lights coming on. Your comments please.
Would it turn over and start at all prior to waiting 30min?
Always wondered if full frame stiffeners made the Jeep feel anymore ridged. Definitely seems like a great upgrade for these XJs.
Can’t say for sure if I could tell the difference when we hit the trail later that day, but then again we still need to do the mid and front stiffeners and the trail was pretty mild without too much flexing. Preston said he could tell lol
Well gentlemen, the improvements continue. Little XJ is getting to be a tuff off roader. Keep up the good work and have fun on the trails. Preston, how much taller have you gotten in the last few months? You're growing like a weed.
Thanks! It’s hard to say how much taller Preston is, but he’s growing for sure
Love the content!! Preston is going to be a Jeep XJ master when he gets older. I like having my little girl as a helper also.
Thanks! Preston is great at keeping me on track.
Does anyone know if my Grandjeep Cherokee ZJ 1998 has this set up
I believe the ZJs have a similar set up.
So glad i found this! Have been struggling to get dents out of the back corner of my JK. PDR kit with the glue was useless. Will definitely try this. Thanks so much, made my day! Love the XJ by the way!
Glad it helped!
great team
Thanks!
Where did you get the adapter from
We purchased both the bumper and the adapter bracket from Barnes 4WD.
Not only was this video incredibly informative while I chase down my rough idle and cylinder 3 & 4 misfire due to heat soak, watching your interactions with your son made my night. Great stuff, I look forward to more informative XJ repairs from you and your son!
Thank you! Working on the XJ with the little guy has been a lot of fun.
You're a great father. That young man will never forget working on the car with dad!
Thank you! It’s been fun for both of us.
Let there be light!
Man I love your videos. No dramatic music, no crazy give aways, just father and son working on a classic vehicle. What height is your lift and wheel tire size
Thanks 👍 I believe it is a 4” lift (not 100% positive b/c the lift kit was already on the Jeep when we bought it) and 33” Falken wildpeak tires on 15” rims
Cotter pin !!!!!!!
They’re the worst lol
My wife ….. you been working on your jeep for 5 hours! Me… I can’t get this one bolt off that’s stopping me from starting the job. Wife… wait you haven’t started yet ?? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂got to love old vehicles
Hahaha! I’m starting to think that reaction must be standard protocol amongst our better halves everywhere lol
As a welder, I approve ❤😂
Freaking awesome!
Nice job preston lol
Hes such a cool dude 😎
Nice😂
Preston he’ll get ya! 😉
Need to replace the oil filter adapter rubber o rings to fix the oil leaking on your starter

Thanks! Gotta love those old XJs!
