Just remove all the sway bars. You don’t need them on an xj. For the lift the s10 bastard pack is fine. It’s not flexing in the rear because the sway bar is still on the rear. And if you are going to do anything with the lift save yourself money in the long run and do a long arm kit. The reason why the front coil spring looked all fucked up is because the arms are to short so it’s pulling the axle back when the tire drops. Long arms will fix that. Long arms will drastically improve travel and ride quality at the same time. That is the factory steering wheel. That’s just the non cruise control wheel. And when you cut the fenders look up cut and fold videos CZcams. The front you can cut however you want but the rear you need to do it a certain way.
And watch out for the washer bottle in behind the driver side fender.
This ^^
X2 on disconnecting the sway bars if you want any flex. XJs are getting hard to find and are great rigs. Definitely not the stock wheel. You have the Chrysler 8.25 rear end which you can weld up and beat it all day.
Connor Doss that is the stock wheel. 97 to 01 xjs had 2 different steering wheels. One with cruise control buttons and one with out. The one he has is the same as my 98. A non cruise control wheel.
Long arms is probably the most expensive way to get death wobble
Reverse gear idler gear has a broken off tooth, just hope it hasn't damaged the reverse gear on the lay shaft the other gear it will probably mesh with will be first gear it's on the main shaft, that will be good content for your channel fixing the reverse gear, have fun
You're missing the entire mechanical fan that goes on the passenger side lmao. The aux fan kicks on automatically at 210 - 212 degrees but get the fan before you wheel it. its 4 bolts plus the clutch. I've owned and wheeled 4 xjs hit me up if you have any questions..the trans you have in that is an AX15. They're pretty solid overall and dont have issues running bigger tires with the proper setup. Worst case scenario you're only out $100 or so for a trans in good condition. Parts are plenty and cheap !
Peg says you don't need no mechanical fan.
Yes it needs a 2nd fan. If it's mechanical so be it. 3
Aluminum radiator with triple fan setup and done.
I missed that
No way you’ll get an AX15 for $100
Gigawattz0r no way in hell your getting a external slave ax15 for $100 unless you are ripping someone off or it’s already damaged.
Definitely more content on the jeep
You dont need the rear swaybar. Cut and fold the rear fenders, DONT JUST CUT THEM! That is the factory wheel, you need a new clock spring that's why the airbag light comes on and the turn signals dont work properly. sometimes it's not the window switch it's the wire that breaks in the door/kick panel. If you have a dana 35 rear axle swap it for a 8.25, dana 44 or the 8.8. For the rear leaf's you can make a bastard pack for cheap. Over all the jeep looks like a good starting point
Haha trying to spend as little as I can on it, it does have a Dana 35 rear axle. What about them is no good? Not going to be wheeling it super hard, think it will hold? Haha
@@Whitt_Built small ring gear and junk axle shafts. I wouldnt run bigger than 31s. You can pick up a better axle that can bolt in. Check out naxja.org alot of good info about cherokees on there.
@@punkassthatur definitely sounds like I should run 33s on it and see how soon it breaks 😂
@@Whitt_Built I've seen how you drive the hondas. I'm sure it will break in no time at all lmao!
@@punkassthatur 😂😂😂 I'll bring spare axles... 😅
We had an 84 black Wagoneer without wood so it had the chrome mirrors trim and door handles, looked good. Was a pile. Loved it.
Control arm drop brackets will fix the front coil spring issue and give it very good road manners. I have daily driven mine this way for the last few years. The rear sway bar I would completely remove. As others have said, it is almost not noticeable when it is removed. Also mentioned is the Ford 8.8 swap. Just see what your ratio is before you buy one so you can get the same as the front. Unless it has 3.07 gears, then swap them both.
Check your transmission bolts I have the same sound in my 97 XJ and it only did it in reverse. Come to find out my transmission was separating from the engine
Same issue as well and noticed my bell bolts were loose ( all but 2 ) but still pulled it and had a buddy look it over. Put it back in and no noise.
I knew it was an XJ before I even clicked on the video. Nice.
No doubt about it!
same
I love these style of Cherokee's
I'm a JDM guy but I love me some Cherokee's and off roading
Not factory Steering Wheel. Check all the wires. XJs have broken wires for days so check often. You will love it!
Fully support this, I own a 98 XJ paid $700 for the thing and drove to NY to Pittsburgh and back with 0 issues 1,000 miles a week for work/etc things mint needs little shit but nothing major, the airbag lights normal just pull the bulb and forget it
DO NOT BE AFRAID TO BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF THIS! When I was in the Navy we had ones of these as a duty vehicle. That thing saw more air than a skateboard at the X-Games. 10ft plus jumps and the only thing that ever broke was the seat, exactly how yours is broke. These are crazy strong!
Front axle needs to be aligned would suggest control arm drop bracket and then the shock will be short the rear nears a leaf taken out and a good shackle setup diy track bar to keep her straight
Ruffstuff.com for your builder parts. Steering and trackbar will be great upgrades
Hell yeah dude!!! Jeep gang!! I've had two Cherokees and now have a wrangler.. i cant go back.. even sold the Eagle Talon.. wheeling is so much fun
take that rear sway bar right off. cherokees are indestructible. can bounce those 4.0s off the rev limiter all day no problem. most of them have the self changing oil problem where they burn oil and leak out the rear main seal so make sure you keep it topped off. def a fun purchase!
Windser towing on CZcams did a coil spring conversion on his rear axle looks like a cool idea.
**Winder Towing
Just saying, nothing personal.
👍✌️
K Digiacomo lol thanks I never noticed the s in there. I mostly even prof read my posts.
Heck yeah I wanna see more videos on it. Especially turning ac pump into air compressor
I have myself an XJ Cherokee sport and she has her quirks, only window that works is the drivers side door, but 4 litres run like a cheating man I tell you that!! Most reliable thing I own by far and it's got a 3 inch lift and 33s
Get a Ford 8.8 rear end. You can get 4.10 gear disc brake limit slip. Stock springs and do spring over so you get lift with soft springs. The dana 35 in the back is trash. The d30 up front is even worse. If you plan on beating on it, start looking for a Dana 44 front. Look into a long arm front kit, short arms don't work very well when lifted more than a few inches.
Hyped for Jeep content
Steering wheel is factory, turn signals do not go off due to bad clock spring. S10 springs are added into the XJ springs for lift (Bastard Pack) normal junkyard budget lift. Do not disco the rear sway bar, unless you just want to fab up a set, will do no good for rear flex- the leafs are your limiting factor. Get some recovery points on it before you buy your light bars, Your leak is from the passenger blinker. Dud e someone stole your mechanical fan.....Time for the efan conversion or put a new fan and clutch in there. Death wobble can happen without a big bump too....You will learn a lot from this toy.
Can't wait to see some more on this . Great video.
I'm over here at 9:51 checking out that clean ass RD1 lol
Cheap and easy rough country 4.5 inch lift cut fenders one ton steering kit ebay has decent diy bumpers and get the steering box brace. I have a 94 with the same setup on 35x14 front cut boggers and 35x16 rear cut boggers thing makes it though anything i put it to and dont lock the front unless you upgrade the front shafts you will snap them
Love it. Remove rear sway bar you dont need it. So many tings you can do with that. Could even turbo it!
And check the flywheel bolts that might be your reversing noise
I'd Love to see the A/C to Air Compressor conversion!
You could start with the basic build clean it up and get it squatting. And eventually put a small diesel engine in like a 4 cylinder cummins or something else. Would be a ton of content in your realm of expertise as well as an advert-vehicle for your business showing people your skills. Would make it super capable with a ton of low rpm crawling torque.
Sounds like a broken tooth on reverse/reverse mesh gear, or it's missing a ball bearing on one of the shafts. Had a similar issue/sound with a Civic, ended up being main stack bearings causing the stacks to flex when in 1st/R. Otherwise good looking jeep! Good grab
needs the sawzall mod lol, I have a black 98. Trimmed the front fenders cut and folded the rears threw some armor and bumpers on and its good to go.
5 speed came stock with 3.07 gearing. You might want to re gear to put some pep back in it with the 33's. I daily my 98 and get about 22-24 on the highway with it running 30" tires.
Haha definitely needs some gears. I think I'm going to leave it until I can do a 44 or 8.8 rear axle swap
If you want to make it reliable and can fab, cut the 4 link bullshit out and leaf the front you will never do maintenance again until you break a leaf. and you can lift with shackles if you want to go higher. Or long arm kit but that’s a lot more expensive . You can get leaf hangers and perches dirt cheap for the front end and do the bumper with it incorporated with your front hangers. Jeep on! P.s. get good tires def. keep s10 rear springs in rear and ditch away bar
that short wheel base is sensitive.. the lack of death wobble is stiffer rear springs, and the lack of flex is stiffer rear springs. I enjoy that game, makes for unique builds, every one is unique
I have 2 xjs the front looks like just coils, due to the lean back, I would get new lower arms at least, clock spring is bad w air bag light.
turn key on and off 6 times with out starting it, and it will tell you all the codes.
That exhaust is mint 👌just tie it up with a coat hanger it’ll be fiiiine. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year fuckers 🎉
Make sure to watch a video on cutting the rear quarter panels. Don't cut in a straight line you will fuck it up. You have to cut slits and pound it in.
The best ever worst ever Jeep. All depends on who you talk to. I love them! The Comanche is my absolute fav though.
my fav is the J10 or J20
My father had a Comanche! Sick truck. Painted it slime green haha
@@thatbuelldude189 Oh damn I do love those! Don't know if I have seen any in person though. Very distinct.
@@ELJEFEEEE Niiice. I kind of like them in army tan for some reason. Would be great to do one Nardo grey though. :P
@@802Garage ive seen 1 in person
it had the 401ci in it i think
Air bag light is a sensor in ur passenger seat and if u have one 10 pounds sitting in the seat then it will come on and off whenever it hits the sensor..
What year? Nv3500 was only used for a few years. I think the ax15 is more common in these.
Have fun with this one man, they are a blast on the trails with limited modifications. Yours has nice paint, the hoods and roof always get ate up on them. The driver door problem is a broken pin for the hinge, they like to do that. Will be cool to see what you do to it, but more importantly, what you do WITH it, that's what we want to see. Good luck brother.
Show me the compressor job you mentioned please.
Just found your channel looking for a duramax. But everything you post is watch worthy.
Shout out from Kelowna bc Canada..
Look forward to your builds!!
"No receipt" Saving the environment! ***Cummins Diesel Swap!***
It might be dripping from the drain-plug, of the radiator. May just need a new o-ring or just need to be tightened, or even loctite it.
Definitely a Pre-Roll fire. I call them Vert-sticks cause you want to pack them and then smoke them vertically, otherwise they're cherry-bombs.
Looks like we're gonna get to see ya have some fun and take us with you. Give it hell on your spare time when not working on truck.
SketchyDA dude your gunna love these shit boxes I’ve owned over 100 xjs they’re fun and cheap to have fun in.
I’m glad I’m not the only the that had a blown out seat frame in their xj 😂😂can’t wait for more xj content
Atta boy Wyatt this project will be good content.
Subbed. I love my '98 XJ! This will be fun to watch.
🍄🍄Congratulations on your JeepLyfe purchase.🍄🍄 You must do an Exoskeleton 🍄you have the bender. 🍄please tune front bumper to tube fender flares,flo up windshield to tube roof rack to back tube bumper. then go from front fender to side skirts to rear fender then connect to bumper.🍄🍄this is your new epic jeep build. get to welding man.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Here's to 2020.👍☃️🎄🎉🎊🧨
Go to o'Reilly's and get a lifetime warranty radiator, or buy a aftermarket with metal end caps. Those plastic radiators will fail constantly
pull it apart, clear, repair then beat on it... nothing can't be rebuilt! do engine power-adder stuff... awd drag... then tire change: trail monstah!
Jeep things and dad bods...bring on 2020. Much love from Iowa brother, be safe bringing in this new year.
The check engine light is not on,the dash bulb may be burned out. I've been driving a '01 since '03, 237,000 mi.
Cut the top radiator hose at high point and maybe put a filler port. They tend to get a air bubble there and start causing overheating issue with the Cherokee.
That's a sweet little score man! Cut and fold the fenders a bit. Weld the diff and enjoy the hell out of it! This is a good time of year to go play in Colorado!
I used 2 s10 springs for my lift not to stiff . Better than stock
Whats with driving with the brights down the highway?
When the lights suck, nobody cares. I never use the low beams in my truck and I have never been shined/flashed. Not one time.
@@CraftsmanQuad19 i remember one time meeting what looked like an old mercedes on the highway, and thought "Hey, those are some decent low beams, nice!" 'cause i've had mercs before, lights are garbage. BUT NOPE, TURNS OUT IT WAS THE HIGH BEAMS HAHAHA
Should be an Ax15 trans
AR15 lol
Definitely film some wheeling vids. Bog deep and let her eat. Remove the rear sway bar, i had an 87 Cherokee with 2" block lift, with 31s, no sway bars and it out wheeled my 97 wrangler with 5" suspension with 35s.
The seat frame is broken but its pretty easy to remove the cover and re weld it
Sway bar delete. Weld the diff, longer shocks and coil retainers and just send it till something breaks
A 4.0 with a cracked manifold! No way that never happens!
not a jeep guy but it will be a good build in between the race truck!
I believe they make lift shackles that have a bit more flex in them that you'd use with stock springs
Did the pump conversion on a Toyota I had. Made a 6x6 tube bumper for tank in front
Aye! I'm currently swapping front axles on my Jeep XJ's 🤘 2000 Cherokee, 6" lift on 33" tires but mines an auto
and for shocks id suggest the bilstein 5100 series shocks. best bang for your buck
Had the same noise in the rear of my cherokee, it ended up bein the trans. Same exact jeep too, the 4cylinder manuals are different from the 6s, youll have to find a trans out of a wrangler 6 cylinder. Or rebuild yours
Ayyeee hells yeah, I have a xj lil woods wheeler too, just scooped up a 6.5x16 sawed off side rail utility trailer for $280 on christmas yesterday, gonna use it to haul my lil d series turbo civic and the xj
Come summer i'll be picking up 2 free Cherokees, one 4.0 and one with the dreaded Renault 2.1 diesel. To quote a friend "The Renault isnt as unreliable as the VM diesel, but you wish it would just blow up..." 85hp hahaha
For $900 that's a hell of a deal.. throw a few dollars into it make it decently capable and go make some killer offroad videos.. I'd love to see you wyatt the boiz and pfi all out mobbin through the mud
My Dakota rt had the Dodge death wobble at like 70ish and on a sharp corner it would bounce you off the road lol
R2.8 Turbo Cummins swap it. Looks like a fun runner.
I would recommend buying barnes 4wd or ruffstuff diy long arm kit would improve ride quality and flex
Just go leafs. Long arms get caught up. Adjustable shorts are best
@@tokeypokey long arms for the front are about the same price for adjustable short arms or are little more expensive but pay a little more and you get a lot more and if they get caught at least they protect the driveshaft
Lockers, beadlocks shift kit, torque converter, trans cooler up grade fans an send it !!
SYE the transfer case and an 8.8 out of an explorer in the rear once you blow up the 35
This xj will have a 8.25 rear end
chrysler 8.25
Damn good deal on that man I love wheeling love the jeep Merry Christmas an happy New Year brother keep up the good work
that noise in the rear is a bad muffler bearing....check for spare change under the back seat..he,he.. lets put a cummins x-15 in her.
Jim D that’s the best ideaEver!!
Get a carbon sample with a trash bag, that’s what we had boots do when they showed up the first day! It’s easy to convince a young marine to get a sample, it’s a sight to see!
$50 explorer 8.8 differential and you'll get 3:73 limited slip or 4:10 limited slip. And u'll have 31 spline axle shafts i believe. Its a common swap.
Wagoner front 44 with the leafs us a 2in stretch qnd astrovan steering box. Put done 54in chevy leafs above that 8.8 . Stretched out and flexed out. All for less then $500
Yeah definitely more videos on it. like anything u do to it record it
Great video man. Would love to see the diff welded. I love those kinds of videos.
It could be in the transfer case the splines wear more going forward and sometimes slip in revesre
High milers may have leaky head gaskets and the radiators suck with plastic caps
Looking nice bro! Let's rock climb and let's see some budget builds with it!!
Killer deal man! I had a Grand Cherokee Limited and it was nice. J10 is probably the best though or at least my favorite one.
16:54 im sure youve already seen but i hope that wire isnt there to hold anything in place lol
Ya jeeps are the shit, they leak, make noise and can be a headache, but they will get you where you need to go. I bought mine for 50$ bucks a year ago, and have been daily driving it every since.
You should cummins swap it.
Welcome to the jeep fam
Beat....break...upgrade👍
Subbed for jeep content. I am thinking of getting a jeep myself. Have fun and safe travels.
50$ ebay rads work really well not joking cheapest place to get them and they are the same as the oem ones. you can do fab work you should take a look at the aftermarket long are kits most of them just bolt in you can make your own way cheaper than buying one and it would make for some cool vids, maybe a turbskyP.S. the rear springs look like they might be put in backwards, it should be short side on the front. the front spring bushing to the center pin is shorter than the back bushing to the center pin an d the short side go's to the front. it maybe right just looks funny on video xj's are sweet can be a lot fun my last on was on 40's but I live in Florida not a lot of rock crawling here LOL, we go big so we don't lose them in the swamp but I have lost one to the water and it suck cant wait to see what you do with it building it is half the fun check out the t-case shift link didn't sound like it was going in to low rang
I love watching your videos! Keep up the good content cheers .
If you want a great guide on these jeeps look up Eric Zappe, he has a few books out that really help in choosing the right modifications. It’s pretty much the Bible for XJ’s. 😎
Just remove rear sway bar, with the leaf springs you don’t need the rear sway.
Hell yeah! I want another one. Might try n trade my toyota wheeler for one. Miss the jeeps
wow its a bolt action, sweet score bud
Drop a raw egg and some pepper in the rad cap shell seal up nice
Baja mtz 33s, cav fab one ton steering, weld the dif and send it man! Also once summer comes your gunna want some more fans one prob won’t do the job when your wheeling it
Since you are a diesel guy Repower has a pretty good cummins platform for the jeeps.
you should fab a set off long up for the front
