👍👍👍👍 Hey, Ronnie, Im D.W. It's been really good to get to know you thru your channel and cherokee build and repair videos. I dont usually reach out to folks, or content creators, but you have shared alot of what I like to call "jeep cherokee wisdom knowledge drops" and I have learned and grown from watching them. I wanted to personally say "THANK YOU" for all you do. I know its not easy running a camera or go pro and getting useable video content , all while trying wrench on your rigs. Im a fan of Cherokee Ronnie, the man, the mechanic and the channel. Again, MANY thanks, to you, my Jeep brother, for recording your tips, tricks and everyday average jeep guy wrenching and fixing stuff videos, all, so other DIY'ers, can learn and grow from them. 👍🏁💯✔
Awesome work Ronnie I'm building my 95 XJ now. Your videos have been a huge help for me. Keep up the awesome work.
Big fan of the channel good work
come back from hibernation. i just found a diamond extremely low mile 01 XJ to replace my old 01 with a blown motor. think i might do an LS swap on the new one and put the good motor in the old one and then focus on building up the good new one.
Can You do a price breakdown so far I’m very interested in doing some of these mods but I would like to know the total thank you jeep rockin it 🤘🏻

Hello from Butler County Pennsylvania the Birth Place of the Jeep and Home of the Heritage Jeep Fest Every Year in June. If you come this year I'll invite you on a wheelin trip with us.
Sweet I like it got plans for mine now lol
By spring I should have mine in the shop to drop a new 4.0 in it. Can't wait to drive it again
If this video would’ve been out when I built mine, it likely wouldn’t have taken me 1.5yrs to build mine. Good video. 👍🏼
Great stuff man.
Congrats on the 25k sub's Ronnie. Good year end on the XJ
Congratulations on 25K subs!! Hope you had a great Christmas and New Year.😁😁👊
Amazing video Ronnie! Thank you for all the knowledge you help to pass on

Hey, Ronnie! I’m Mark and have a 2000 XJ. I was watching the video and saw the WV tags. I’m up in the Eastern Panhandle in Martinsburg. Where about are you from?
Very nice
Hey I got a 86 jeep cherokee pioneer 2.8l, what can I do to it as in lift and tires for it to still be decent at off-roading (nothing crazy) will this be enough or engine swap is needed?

You should be fine if you go over anything 33s I would regear to get your power back but I would go 4 inch lift 33s
Very helpful
Keep it safe! They're getting rare and VERY expensive. :D

No but I’m pretty sure it’s the same
WHAT TRAC BAR DID YOU RUN?
Do you put wheel spacers on Is that way your tire are sticking out that far. And if so have you ever experienced any unusual wear because of it. Wear on ball joint’s or uneven tire wear more than if it was still the stock setup.
