lol thanks for that. gotta do that this weekend.

My 96 Cherokee has 355k on the odometer and still going strong! Great rigs

I hope to see more about this XJ in a future episode cause these Jeeps are a lot of fun. Its interesting what people give away when they don't know how to fix something. I just bought a 98' XJ Sport with 171k miles for $400. It runs, drives, goes through the gears, slides right into 4lo. I snagged it from a girl whom got scared cause it needed some rust work. I got the rust fixed and now I have myself a clean little 4.0L XJ. I have a similar story with a 92' Wrangler YJ I recently finished building although I went crazy with the YJ; Gibson Header w/ 6-1 primary, JBA catless midpipe to a Magnaflow exhaust system; throttle body spacer, brand new 2017 OEM wheels, etc, etc. $4000 in parts later I have a sweet little YJ that sits there; Cause I'm always driving my 08' JK. ;) I enjoy your videos and the way you narrate them. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.

This has one of the most reliable engines AMC (American Moters) 4.0L Straight 6

Here after watching the 91 firebird series, and it’s crazy how much his editing skills have improved since this video. In this video I’m having trouble hearing the voices over the music but I never have that problem in his more recent videos

Never use that much starter fluid. It will wash all the oil from the cylinder walls and your pistons will immediately scratch the cylinder walls

Yep, we took our brass oiler cans with the pumps and put gas in them to squirt down the intake.

So glad you guys are doing more project videos. Great videos!

When I hear somone say ..."those jeeps are so easy to work on".... mo fo..that's whole dam point😆👌 and reliable...

Ahhhhh the 96 Jeep Cherokee the bastard year.

I am an XJ owner and have always watched your videos praying someday this would happen!!!

XJs are the best budget off-road vehicle only bad thing is unibody 900 lift kit 35 in tires front and rear lockers a new gear set for the 35s brace the frame it’ll go anywhere

I also got a Jeep Cherokee recently. This is almost perfect timing! I'm stoked to see what you guys are going to do to yours! Happy Jeeping.

Same to you! Don't hold your breath on this project though, haha, it's on the back corner of the back burner.

Just watched episode 10. Lets re-watch the early days!

Sweet! A new project! Yet another reason to spend more time watching your videos!!!

My 1999 Jeep Cherokee Xj has almost 330,000 miles and is just like new.... BEST

Had this exact year, make, trim AND color vehicle in college, got it at 150k and deive till 300k. Besides replacing factory parts WAY beyond their life and crank sensor and Cpos. Great vehicle

The xj is a great platform for doing anything off road. Looks fun! I miss mine now lol

I love the "got it in Maryland, towed it to WV" and has a NJ inspection sticker...man that Jeep is well traveled lol. What a great find for free, how'd that happen?

Nice, more old vehicles. I had the same fit on a '93 ford ranger. Turned out to be the ECM relay ground. Take a stranded wire and put it in the terminal for the ecm relay ground then shove the relay back in. Then put the other end of the wire on the negative terminal of the battery, or screw it to the fender. If it then works, it's a ground issue. I don't know how my ranger was capable of running on starting fluid with a bad ecm relay ground, but it sure was for some reason.

still not bad for a free 4.0 Cherokee. much love for the channel keep it up guys!

Free things are the best you do old cars like Canadians! Good work

I got a free 04 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 2 days after I moved from Texas to Ohio. It was my wife's cousin's but they think it blew a head gasket because of a huge crack in the radiator. There was cut wires I had to solder for it to crank and start. I'm gonna check the compression and oil tomorrow and go from there.

I had a k5 for a couple years recently. Was a great vehicle and was a lot of fun off road. I regret selling it, but was having major issues with the TBI system up here in Alaska. Anytime it was below zero the fuel would not atomize and would just flood. My buddy who bought back from me is still having the same issue and he has replaced everything short of a new short block. Anyways, those Jeep up here are not cheep, I've been looking for one this last 7-8 years that is not abused. They all have 200-300k miles and need tons of work and the owner typically is asking 4-6k for their garbage.

I have the same exact XJ. I'm the second owner. First owner bought it with 35 miles on it. I bought it with 193,000 miles.

My dad had a Jeep just like it even down to the color! My father loved his (1993 model) and it went out in the cash for clunkers in ‘09 with 188 k miles

Good job...such a great starting point

I'm not a Jeep, however, love that model Jeep Cherokee. I think they're so cute.

Hell ya WV born and raised

Damn i wish i could find cars like you do that are cheap, this thing looks in good condition

Dude. Fuck yes. I have a 1996 Jeep Cherokee. These thins are amazing.

Man I hope you make a video of you cleaning this baby up! Full on detail.

Recently got my 95 xj. Thing has around 30,000mi more than that one but is a five speed manual. Shit is so fun.

Hey, Quick Tip: DONT USE STARTING FLUID! I thought it was fine to use it even though everyone told me not to. And then last week I used it and it made my car do an intake backfire and it literally blew up. The valve cover was blown clean off into a million pieces along with the spark plug wires and some metals from the crankshaft. I have pictures to prove it if you want to see them DM me. Just trying to warn people that it will actually blow up if you use starting fluid. It is a gas engine, not a starting fluid engine. Good luck.

@FuzzyDiceProjects

6 жыл бұрын

Good warning, really. Starting fluid has a reputation for doing that, but I have been lucky so far. If we cared more about the car we wouldn't have run it off of just starter fluid. I hope you didn't get hurt!

trying hitting the bottom of the fuel tank with a 2x4 why cycling the key. You might be able to get it to break free.

Omg! This is exactly what I wanted to restore!

Fuel pump, change and clean the throttle body

Afraid to drive it because the exhaust fell off? That's crazy, straight piped jeep engines sound amazing!

pull the neutral safety switch off clean it and regrease it and it will work like new.

Nice .. eBay cheap lift shakes and pucks or make them ? Exhaust cherry bomb muffler and straight pipe . I had a 97 2 door my advice make sub frame connect so door can come off and won't compromise the subframe itself

these motors were put in Australian valiants back when they were they had carburetors, they were autralian designed.

what ever you guys do, dont put a new sending unit assembly in it. for some reason, the new sending units are trash and wont read fuel level correctly. just keep the old sending unit and swap the pump. i found this out the hard way...best of luck

I don't see the point to making a 2-wheel drive Jeep Cherokee....one day it just wouldn't start so I just got fed up with it and its been sitting ever since, then I picked up a 2000 GMC jimmy 4x4 for cheap which is what I currently drive. If my Cherokee was 4WD then maybe I would of looked into fixing it. UPDATE: I just bought a 1994 Cherokee xj for $300, high miles 200k but it runs good.

guys do you know any problems to where when you try to turn it on it just keeps cranking and cranking about 7 to 8 long times before it finally fires? my dad just replaced the battery cables on it ((you should of seen them)) but that didnt fix it tried unplugging the port extension that had a bunch of phone chargers and a dash cam plugged in.. buuuuut that didn't work either...
