Very nice. I have a 2000 XJ in good condition as well
Was fuer einen Auspuff hast du denn montiert? Der klingt sehr gut.
Ist ein Walker QuietFlow Schalldämpfer.
@@Fredward_K Vielen Dank. Ist der viel lauter als das Original? Ich hatte bereits einen flowmaster 40 (unglaublich laut) und dann eine gesammte KOLAK 3" edelstahl Anlage mit einem groesseren Schalldampfer (keine Ahnung welocher das war). Diese Anlage war ziemlich gut aber letzen Endes dann doch etwas zu laut. Bin auf der Suche nach was dezentem.
@@alpinepilot Der Walker Quietflow ist OE Ersatz. Damit ist der Z wohl so laut bzw. leise wie damals im Neuzustand. Ist zumindest deutlich leiser als der alte ausgebrannte Original Schalldämpfer mit Loch an der Seite. Der Magnum V8 mit untenliegender Nockenwelle und 2 Ventilen pro Zylinder hört sich aber generell ganz anders an, als der 4.7L Powertech mit obenliegenden Nockenwellen und 4 Ventilen pro Zylinder. Dynomax wäre noch eine alternative. Der Super Turbo ist etwas lauter als OE Ersatz (z.B. Quietflow von Walker). Und der Dynomax UltraFlo SS soll noch etwas aggressiver klingen. Gibts für den WJ jeweils alles bei Rockauto
@@Fredward_K Danke Fred. Sehr hilfreich. Ja ich glaub generell klingt der pushrod V8 besser als der 4,7l. Ich werde mir allerdings wirklich diesen quietflow genauer anschauen.
kann dir nur gratulieren zu deinem Video und natürlich zu deinem Jeep in top Zustand. Sehr schön! Frage - bringt die Umhüllung der Batterie was in thermischer Hinsicht? Liebe Grüsse aus Helvetien 🙂
Danke. Hatte Glück eine gute Basis zu finden, aber wie Du wohl unschwer erkennen kannst war es dennoch mit viel Arbeit verbunden. :) Die Batterie thermisch gegen den heißen Motorraum abzuschirmen bringt viel in Bezug auf eine längere Batterielebensdauer. Die Hülle hab ich zusätzlich noch mit 20mm XPS-Platten gedämmt. Werkseitig lief jeder Z sogar mit einer Batterieumhüllung vom Band. Die ist bei 99,9% der Exemplare aber wohl schon so zerbröselt das sie deshalb entfernt wurde. Und viele Besitzer haben es nicht für nötig gehalten für Ersatz zu sorgen. Die Teilenummer dieses original Thermoguards -> Mopar 56026843 Der ist nun aber schon mehrere Jahre ersatzlos entfallen. Liebe Grüße
Wir sind uns vor ein paar Tagen auf der strasse nach Axams begegnet. Am nachsten tag hab ich dann dein Auto beim Plangger stehen sehen. haha. Dein ZG is sicherlich besser beinand wie mein WG. Da hab ich was zum aufholen!. Aber breitere und groessere Felgen wurden mal ein Anfang sein.
Ah, auf der Höhe vom Tierheim in Mentlberg. Im Vorbeifahren sah dein WG aber auch ganz gut aus. Wir sehen uns. :)
@@Fredward_K Ja vor allem weil du anscheinend in das wohnhaus der freundin meines Bruders eingezogen bist. Die Welt ist klein

Hi! I also have the same type, only Blue. I am looking for a motor controller for it.
Have you checked Rockauto?
@@Fredward_K I looked , I didn’t fine it there
@@gaborkovacs9015 Also searched directly with the part Number?
@@Fredward_K I didn't look that way, but I found a used one on another platform. "good in principle"
where are you locally?
I also own a '97 5.2 liter GC, in black with the same interior, but in pretty bad condition. I'm in the process of rebuilding it, which requires some welding work. The holes on the rear axle in particular caused the holders for the upper axle control arms to rot. The sills are also pretty rotten. But I love my fat man and will invest money and time to make him pretty again.
Nice motorvehicle bro.
I'm real glad that you fixed the thing that was rattling inside the front dash left and right LoL 😂😂 Now it's a 10/10 car
That was the garage opener in the overhead console. 😄 I have now found a quieter place for it. Easy fix with outstandig result. 😂🤣
Exceptionally clean ZG as usual! Don't know if you remember our last conversation, but I did get my manage to get my dad's ZG back home and I really have been enjoying the car. It has some small things that need to be taken of care though and what worries me the most is a coolant loss while driving, which I couldn't find out the origin of yet.
Sure I can remember. Congratulations that you could get the ZG of your father back. Always have a good trip and happy wrenching. In regards to the small Coolant leak have you checked the freeze plugs in the block. The can leak due to corrosion (to long Coolant change intervals). And have you checked the bypass hose of the water pump? It is important that the system is fully closed in order to operate correctly. It needs to built up certain pressure, otherwise the Coolant turns into steam in certain areas, and can't do its job.
@@Fredward_K I haven't checked those places no. I will make sure to check them out. Appreciate the tips!
Wow, total super neue updates. Die Felgen schauen super aus.
FYI your link to your cults page is broken. I'd love to make some of those frame plugs!
Thanks for the notice. Fixed the link in the description. And here is the direct link to the Plugs: cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadget/jeep-zj-zg-underbody-plugs
Glad to see that it is still in excellent condition, also love the jeep script on the spoke, reminds of some jeep designs from the 80s. Are the wheels a different offset, you use any spacers or is it their design/dish that make them seems to stick out a bit more than stock? Last question, what products do you use on the interior, everything seems well preserved and clean without being overly shiny and greasy.
Thanks 😊 No Spacers but yes, slightly different offset (ET20) and they are 8,5J instead of 7J wide. The slight concave dish design let them also appear also a bit wider. Tires are also slightly bigger: 255 60 R17 instead of 225 70 R16. For the interieur I use products from: www.ledermax.at/ Once or twice a year: Cleaning, then tread the leader with Oil so it gets soft again then condioner to protect it. Cleaner works also good for plastic surfaces.
Nice 👍
Hi, I have a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee and it started to have this grinding/noise in the rear end. So I took it to a repair shop and they replaced the carrier bearing, but I am not sure if both. But now it's making a owl-howling noise whooooo at 55 plus it's more louder, when you let off the gas it goes away and then apply gas it's back and getting louder past 60- 65 mph, seems like it's coming from the rear shaft or diff have you had this problem? Thanks
Wrong pinon gear preload / Ring gear backleash. Overhauling the differential is a task that requires a lot of experience. Unfortunately, not every workshop has that... Get a Master Overhaul kit (Yukon/Timken) Find an experienced workshop that can overhaul your differential properly and professionally. If you continue to drive like this it will just get more expensive because you will then also need a new pinion and ring.
@@Fredward_K Thanks for the advice!
Great work keeping ZG fresh.
Soo whats the final cost of 3 years owning this nice piece??
I never documented the expenses. All I know: The thick folder in which I keep all the invoices is nearly full. And there is no more room for any more RockAuto Collector Series Magnets on my tool cabinet.
There Is only one Word to describe your work......WOW best ZJ ever seen! Congrats.
What mileage you get usually? Mine is doing around 4.5, 5km/l.
Absolute beauty
That’s one beautiful Jeep 😍
You have done a great job and the Jeep looks fantastic! I previously owned three of these myself, one from 1998 in stock condition and two from 1997 all with the 5.2 l V8. Today I have only two left though I had to sell the stock -98 and none of the ones I have left are in stock condition. One is highly modified as I use it for offroad driving and one that now is my daily driver is only slightly modified with a 3 inch lift, adjustable control arms and trackbars, other coil springs, shocks, sway bars and some strong rockslides. But when I see yours I start to consider buying one more just to have a stock in this very good condition!
Good work!
Very Nice ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Si le pusieras la parrilla chromada severia mucho mejor 😉👍
neues video brauchen wir. schon lange keines mehr gesehen, Ich hab einen Wj V8 und auch in Tirol. Besitze ihn schon seit 23 jähren. Dein Auto is ein Traum.
Da ich zwischenzeitlich wieder ein paar Sachen dran gemacht hab (-neue Felgen, Einstiegsleisten, orignale Fußmatten, Auspuffblende...) hab ich vor demnächst wieder mal ein neues Video zu machen.
Danke :) Seit 23 Jahren, dann hast ihn als Neuwagen oder als sehr jungen gebrauchten gekauft? Wow. 👍 Der steht dann bestimmt entsprechend gut da. :)
Nein hab ihn nicht neu gekauft. Es ist ein 99er. Der Vorbesitzer its den Jeep als Vertreterwagen (V8 haha) gefahren und hat in 2 Jahren 120k Km draufgefahren. Jetzt hat er 230k und schaut immer noch aus wie neu. Ich war allerdings immer ein Fan der alten pushrod V8 der ZJ Reihe. Also wirklich, nochmal, dein Jeep sieht wirklich top aus.@@Fredward_K
Würde auch gerne ein paar Dinge machen. Die Ledersitze (gleiche Farbe wie deine) brauchen etwas pflege und der Himmel ist auf etwas bräunlicher als normal... Leider keine Zeit und nie in Tirol. Gruss aus Hong Kong @@Fredward_K
Wir haben uns heute auf der Strasse nach Goetzens gesehen, ich in meinem roten WJ (WG).
Hi Fred, mega arbeit. Gibt es eine Möglichkeit dies bei dir zu erwerben? Mein neuer Alter braucht das auf jeden Fall ❤ Beste Grüße
@@Fredward_K Hey Fred, Danke für deine Nachricht. Ich habe selbst keinen 3d Drucker und weiß auch nicht wie es in meinem Bekanntenkreis aussieht. Im Jeepforum bin ich bisher nur am stöbern aber noch nicht aktiv. Was kostet mich den eins von deinen Sets? Beste Grüße Philip

Why did you have to have the driveshafts balanced?
Because I thought new parts -> new weights. To true them, both shafts needed weights in different locations then the old factory ones. So my thought was not that wrong. It's like putting a new tire of the same type on the same rim. Even though you orient it the same as the old one -> It will never be true. They are slightly different. Ok rubber tieres varies more then drive shaft links, but the driveshaft also rotates (in this case) 3.73 times faster then the wheels.
Hi Fred! Würde mich gerne einmal privat mit dir austauschen, wir hatten bereits Kontakt. Wie machen wir das am besten? VG Philipp (e34 forum)
So machen wir es! @@Fredward_K
Very nice color combo and restoration. And I did the same 3D printed parts to fix the headlights on mine :)
Looks very good, very clean... One of my dream cars.
Very nice!!
What serues if oem radio on this gj?
beautiful. my dad had one of these in silver colour when i was a kid i still dream of this car. with the prices of gasoline in turkey i cannot afford to keep it running and there is practically none left in good condition to buy one unfortunately. nice to know that some people care about these still.
Is the wind whistle with the roof rack bearable? Awesome zg true definition of oem+ and in excellent condition!
If I consider that the interior stays dry by transporting the snowboards on the roof, it's completely ok. But it can sometimes be heard on the highway. Only with the cross members on the roof you can't hear anything if the small spoiler is mounted on the front cross member. Many thanks for the kind comment. :)
@@Fredward_K I prefer to use ski bags and a microfiber towel to wipe the skis before I store them. One thing I hoped jeep did much earlier was adopt some kind of ski pass-though or individually folding rear seats, losing a big seat to carry a long item is annoying. The only jeep that doesn't have that problem from my experience is the kj cherokee, it has so much headroom you can put skis inside ski bags and kind of rest them on the middle seat standing up at an angle, that thing was made for giraffes with so much headroom 😛.
@@Fredward_K the cross members came with the car as standard correct? Like most wj/wgs or did you get them with the snowboard rack so they can lock on them?
@@user-he9jq7gx1n I also thought about a ski bag. But sometimes we are 4 People in the car. And then two people has to squeeze in on the 2/3 rear seat... Indivdual folding seat would be great. And perfect would be as pass-through with a skibar attached to it. These are Mopar aftermarked Cross members. They fit for Chrysler Voyager MKIII and ZJ/ZG 5.9. Original Cross members are not designed for any weight. They are only intended to wedge things transported on the roof. They just has flimy plastic feet. They really start ratteling with stronger cross wind. The original 5.9 Cross Members does not so much. Since we wanted to put a roof top tent on the Jeep I was looking for Atera 080120 cross members. These are the only ones fitting on the standard closed roof rails. But I could not find them. Then I decides to look for the 5.9L roof rails and pair them with the Mopar Cross Members. This was a bit easyer to find. I just hat to refurbish the 5.9 roof rails. (These aftermarked Mopar Cross Members are also fabricated from Atera) And since the Jeep had now the option to finaly put some weight on the roof we desiced to also put the snowboards (and skis) on there.
@@Fredward_K Ski bags with middle seat pass throughs were a thing on audis since the late 80s, jeep as an outdoorsy lifestyle brand should be one of the first manufacturers to copy it, it makes so much sense, you can have 4 people inside comfortably as well as their skis inside secure and locked, not having to worry about theft, increased noise, fuel consumption, fear of scratching the roof etc, such a missed opportunity! The 5.9 bars look very similar to the wj/wg ones, taller than the earlier zgs, which makes sense since it started production the next year. The atera cross members look much taller than the original ones which is good because it keeps stuff further from the roof so it is harder to scratch it, if you say it is quiet as well it's a win win. Question since you seem so knowledgeable on the zg, do you have any photos or documents from the assembly line in Austria or from the wg, or any specific differences between them and the American equivalent?. Everywhere I looked they state general things like zg/wg had better wiring, seals etc, thank you.
Do you have lift?
No. Stock right hight with Stock tire size -> 225 70 R16
Vey similar to my 1998 5.9L ZJ. I’ve had it for 19 years and it is still running strong and looking as beautiful as she did when i bought her. Nice work on your Jeep… she looks fantastic!

Dent near fuel tank door.
@evgeni131 I've thought about it - more than once... But since my other car (E34) has no dents after a complete repaint... I wanted to spend four weeks with it in the paint shop. In the end it had been almost a year. I then even painted the subframe and the entire underbody, 3 weeks of polishing... And after all this work, I now see myself taking care of the vehicle to a completely different levelczcams.com/video/lV5yFHI2LLI/video.html&t I'm hesitant to head with the Jeep in that direction - I'd rather keep those few dents and deep scratches. Since I once bought this car as an “adventure” vehicle, and a nice 4x4 for alpine winters. But maybe one day I'll do it anyway...?! Really just the Dents. Always have a safe trip and have fun with your ZG 2.5Td Greetings from Tyrol.
Beautiful example, my dad had one while I was growing up and we are considering getting it back. What are the tyre sizes btw?
Its the standard tire size for the Facelift Model 225 70 R16 The other wheelset - Unitec EtaBeta 6A are 17" (2:56) here I want to get tires in 255 60 R17
@@Fredward_K they look wider on the video but the 255 will definitely look even better. Ours used to have 275 just for the looks but I think the new owner changed it to 225 to pass MOT. I'll have to find which wheel/tire combos are legal from factory.
@@goncalolourenco6989 I feel the same. The Cooper Discoverer AT3 does look a bit wider. I really like the the look of these tires. Especially with the white lettering. They wet grip is also pretty decent for AT Tires. And they are quiet like street winter tires. I think 275 55 R16 is the widest and biggest size for the factory 16" Rims (Y Spokes or 5.9er Five Star). Wider tires are not really possbile for 7" wide rims. And for the hight you will probably need 2" lift. Popular bigger tires are 245 70 R16 or 255 65 R16. For these there is a bit of trimming needed on the front fascia. And maybe the steering has to be adjusted otherwise they will rub on the lower control Arm. They shouldn't be that big of an issue to legalize. 7"x16" Rims (Y-Spoke and 5.9L 5-Star) has from factory only one size -> 225 70 R16 Grand Cherokee with 7x15" Rim (e.g. Canyon) came in different sizes from factory: -> 215 75 R15 -> 225 75 R15 -> 245 75 R15 There is a sticker in the glove compartment for these different facroty tires sizes (and tire pressures). But the smallest tire size the specific car is legal to run is written on the stricker in the drivers door.
@@Fredward_K wow I appreciate the extensive answer, that was helpful! I had the R15 wheels so I'll have to go with 225 until I externally license other sizes then.
@@goncalolourenco6989 you are welcome. :) With 15" (Canyon or Snowflakes) you could get the factory 245 75 R15. A bit wider but nearly the same overall size as 225 70 R16 (with Y Spokes or 5Stars). Bonus with these sizes the spare tire cover will still fit.
Beautiful

Which ZJ has side indicators in the fenders and reflectors in the rear fascia? ZGs also have electronic headlight leveling. This is a ZG build in Graz at Magna Steyr Austria for the european market. ZJs are build in Detroit in the Jefferson Assembly Plant.
