Guy fieri with bleepin jeep here
Zach lmao I thought the same thing
Lol
Came here for this comment. Was not disappointed
Yes matt I think the emc stock class is a must!! That would be awesome to see bleepin jeep racing!
gonna need more Patreon supporters then, lol
35's inside? that's packaging ! thanks for the introduction to "stock" class off-road racing.
Do it Matt build a emc rig thatd be badass
Now that was a GREAT video!!! Very inspiring, a video like this will help the stock class allot, good job on this one
Dang that was an awesome walk thru‼️ And very informative 👍 Ron1
Looks like Ian has been standing standing in a 40 mph head wind all day!!! Anyways, it's always good to see an xj killin it with a mostly stock drivetrain. I'm keeping my Dana 30 as well.
Nope....get it all the time!!!
You know you have made it when, Ian is on your videos!
Ian Johnson, Doug Johnson, I guess that's why they call it Johnson Valley? Was a fun time, was looking for you BleepinJeep guys, but sadly missed you somehow. We went to the Jumbotron on Tuesday morning, but couldn't find you and didn't want to miss the racing so we just drove out into the desert and started watching and learning the tricks to getting good watch spots.
Wow Dana 30 for KOH! And here I was worrying about mine for fire trails 😉
Tellico...such great memories! Such a shame it got shut down
Great video awesome xj inspiration
Thanks Matt for the video. King of the Hammers is always a fun time..
Hey Ken, who is the manufacturer of the inner coil bump? Jeep looks great!
@@Iosirus1 I bought them from jegs. Search for progressive bumps. They are around $80 and work great
@@impaks thank you
Great info! Give Ian a Bleepin Jeep bandaid sticker for his hair
And running a five speed!Good for him!
I have a 38” tire mounted on top of my stock fuel tank relocated to inside the rear hatch directly above where it was due to sliding the rear end back 6”!
I really miss watching that guy on the weekends. I got rid of my cable and that's the only thing I miss
The coolest XJ lift I've ever seen was done by Ian on Extreme 4x4. Had one ton axles and was for a dude from the military. It was only lifted like 4-6 inches, but had tons of down travel, want to say about a foot. Exactly what I want to do.
That was one of my Military Giveback shows....Erik wheels the crap out of that rig...it works so well!!!
iMPAKS garage was involved in building that XJ also :) we had orange CNC4x4 t shirts on for that show
Matt.... if you build one this year I’ll build one too. I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately (because KOH... 🤦🏻♂️) and I’m pretty sure I have a victim in the boneyard at work.... I need to go through the rules again and get it all straight in my head. Think about it and let me know.
Hey Matt if you race next year I'll change my build plans on my TJ and race you!!! 4600!
Way cool guys, thanks.
Well fellas this here is what you call a bleeping jeep video that actually features a Jeep. I know I almost fell out of my chair too.
We’ve got 15 years of Jeep content, keep searching!!
@@bleepinjeep funny thing is when I commented I didn't realize this was five years old.
@@bleepinjeep also I haven't watched a bleepinjeep video in what seems like ages, because well... no Jeeps in the video. If you're getting away from Jeeps cool. You might consider changing the channel name.
@@bkpickell thats silly, does fox news only have news about foxes? does cracker barrel only sell crackers in barrels? does wal-mart only sell walls?
@@bleepinjeep That's not even remotely the same thing. So what if you went to a Chevy dealer that sold everything except Chevys? Would that be normal? Your channel name suggests your channel is about Jeeps not Jags.
Nice XJ boys! I wanna race!
Check out Bug’s XJ
ian johnsons hair is a legend
I want to do this working on my Xj now
You got to meet a local legend Matt. Ken is a bamf around here lol!
Nice walk around. Maybe when Ken gets closer to Tennessee y'all can do another one where Ken talks a little slower. It would be cool to see more about that "stock" rig. also what kind of locker was it that blew up?
🤓Damn Brotaterchip them are some stylin' sun glasses 😎 I almost want some.
Track bar mount axle side. I like.
She'll love you sliding in the Big Johnson when you bust your front end. Remember those shirts? 😂
Criss fix is a king😂😂
That things so badass!
Ian used to frustrate me because he wouldn't finish a project, but the tech was always spot on. The new crew on XOR... Ugh.
Miss you Ian.
Miss Jessi more, RIP
Ian, always with the cup in hand like Dave Kindig.
That was cool!!
That is a badd ass Jeep Cherokee
Heat meiser. Man I miss the old power block.
Hey Ian, gr8 to c u again. Miss the ol tv days. ... can we ask what happened 2 the bug out 6x6 burb?... yeah, that looks stock, did I see a catalytic converter underneath...
Wanted to seen under the hood and how he did the engine cage
People don’t give the Dana 30 enough credit. Notice he didn’t even have a massive mutant truss. Just C gussets maybe it’s sleeved but he didn’t mention it.
You heard him Matt. Next year. You race. Build a ZJ for the race.
Those old ECORS days, they were fun : _ (
Awesome
Lowly Dana 30HP will take tremendous abuse- especially with a few low buck upgrades- sleeve the tubes, gusset the C's, heavier control arm mounts= good to go! I saw high steer knuckles (WJ D30 parts?) in this vid so I'm guessing the other mods have been done? I ran a lunch box locker in mine for 8yrs before breaking the stock carrier. 4.56 gears and 38" TSLs were a lil too much... A Yukon Grizzly Locker now handles the front end power.
Sleeves are useless if you have a good truss. Just adds more weight.
@Joe Jones Respectfully disagree- Doubling the wall thickness w/DOM tubing certainly does help, esp. on the long side. The lower center of gravity also helps on the rocks. A truss on a LCG build (I only run 4" lift) can also wreak havoc on an oil pan unless bumpstopped to the point of useless. Sleeving- try it, you'll like it.
Sleeves will help keep the tube from bending but won't do anything to keep them from rotating and getting evicted from the housing. Clearance issues aside (if you lift it and use bigger tires you need to properly bump stop it anyway) I'd rather have a truss.
@Joe Jones Agreed on the not spinning except that when one goes to the effort of sleeving, fully welding the tubes to the carrier is de rigeur~ you've got to weld up the rossettes anyway, just add another pass from the housing to the outter tube and let cool -slooooowly- My 8.8 rear end is trussed, but the weight from sleeving vs. trussing (I've not scaled it) has got to be minimal. Happy trails!
I remember the previous Impaks XJ

Ran 35s with chromos in my 30 and only lost a ring gear once. Xj love
He is gunna take me to flavor town in his jeep
Anyone have any reviews on those Rusty’s x300 shocks that they are running on this Jeep??
That Dixxon 👍🏻
Nice to have b roll while he's talking
He needs a truss for the rear.
What gears does this have
You were at KOH? I was 2!!!
Oh I want to do this.... I have a Dana 30
Superstock class is it!
He probably wouldn't have grenaded his front locker if he was running stock axleshafts, instead of chromemoly axleshafts. To save the ring & pinion, you want the axleshafts to be the weak-link. They are much easier to change.
I doubt he has that many spare shafts. KOH would eat a few. But I get your point.
i broke lockers in the front before stock shafts before so idk if that theory works everytime
How much does it cost to build a engine like it I’m here in Arizona trying to make something for the desert
Could I race a 2 door jl in this class?
Ironman4x4fab... good stuff...
What are the races that we have on the East coast? Does anybody know of any races like that in the Northeast, Or do I have to start my own?
Go to Ultra4racing.com to see the schedule
Hmmmmmmmm
I wonder what this hobby might cost me. Who am I kidding. I can barely keep up with my Jeep.
Ian Johnson looks like a character from the movie Surfed Up. 😂
So how many inches of lift and what company pieces like what shocks and springs
front: RE 5.5 coils with Ironman4x4fab long arms, rear: Rustys off road jeep speed leafs with ironman4x4fab rear shackles and shackle relocation kit, shocks arr Rustys off road front and rear, air bumps are prefender on rear
Wow.. Dana 30 front axle?....
Dana 30 baby! Yeah! 😬👍
what are thoose air bag bumps in the coils?

thats a banana 44 at 2:57, just comparing it to the bumpstop crossmember.
"At what race mile did the door fall off?" lol
103
I was reading your comment right when they answered it.
What steering box he running?]
stock box with hydro steering and a cross brace to frame
I wonder what ever happened to the 6x6 Suburban Ian was building?
Production company chopped em up and sold the parts
@@BigTireGarage That sucks, but if I remember correctly, that was a big reason why Stacey David left Trucks way back when.
cant see the truck
Guy Fieri's cool brother.
What are those red balls inside the coil spring?
Some sort of bumpstops

Instead of fuses, swap out to resetable circuit breakers. You can still run your light to let you which circuit blew, but no fooling with swapping fuses. Fix your short, hit the button, and go!
Hmm. Cool stuff. Who makes that stuff?
Iron man 4x4 fab front 4 link 👍
Guy fiere!!!!!!!!
It would be cool to take a two door Cherokee and turn it into a truck and put a roll cage on top.
Hope your not actually trying to rip on the Chris fix right now that guy is a freaking legend in the car world!!!
Hey stop giving out zj secrets ian!!!!🤫
What size tires are those?
Bfg 22psi. 37s looks like
35
Stock class must run 35 DOT
Big Tire Garage thank you!!
Front brakes are leaking 😂 or the shock blew
I thought he was wearing a weird hat, I'm sorry that's his hair.....🤣
6:08
directions
booya
Ya might see me there .
Ian is a Johnson.
I always thought Ian seemed full of himself. Seems he hasn’t changed.
Yeah, everyone who meets me says I am full of myself...get it all the time!!!
Big Tire Garage you still act like a demented 12-year-old just like you did when you worked for RTM. No change. You never grow up.
Why would I grow up? I get to play with trucks all day every day!!
Big Tire Garage i’m not going to waste my time debating with you any further. People who have known you for a long time I know what you’re all about. Now, go ahead and respond to this post again and prove yet again how immature and childish you are. We’re all waiting.
I really don't see how responding to you makes me childish? Maybe I am missing something here, is this some kind of You Tube secret code I don't know about?
Jeep Fieri...
Wow that’s some…impressive…wiring 🥴
First comment
The Democrats new green deal will kill off-roading. The deal includes no more gas vehicles. No off-road parks . Trump 2020 !!!
source?
There is no source, just blatant ignorance.
Gerrad Reynolds source for what?
@@joshuaneuman4329 source for this claim...
@@TheAmericanUhate I read the bill and didn't see anything about offroad trails
I like BleepinJeep a lot
However this Ian guy is a jerk
Never liked him sorry 😐 might un subscribe
If I see him anymore
You can do better without that guy
Yeah everyone I know says I am a jerk...
There is a reason why Ian is no longer on a television show being watched by millions of people each weekend, and now has nothing more than a small CZcams channel with much less subscribers than somebody like Chris fix. Think about that people.
Rick Gaine
So true 👍👍😎
Yeah thats why....nope...nice try. Guess only time will tell if I made the right choice...oh...have you been on Amazon Prime lately? Asking for a friend.
Oh and BTW, I love @chrisfix channel..he does an amazing job with his videos
