I cannot begin to express how happy I am that you're an XJ owner. I'm the proud owner of a 97 with 267k miles and counting. Your videos are practically therapy lol

Stay tuned! Mine is 97 as well with similar mileage

I enjoyed every single minute of it! So satisfying to watch! Just straight to the point! No introduction or talking, just straight to do the job!👌😎👍

This is excellent!! I wish more how-to videos were shot so eloquently simple. This is like watching art

Amen to the previous comment sent by Mark. I could watch this guy's videos all the time. No music, and no one liking to here themselves talk, just all action, and tremendous attention to detail. Thank you Sir.

This video is like therapy for me

Much respect to the incredibly talented mechanics out there. Always amazed watching this stuff.

From a retired mechanic, you did a damn fine job.

Let appreciate the amount of time and effort he put to have this detailed video .guys

Enjoyable to watch these old four by fours get restored and saved for future generations. Thanks for the video enjoyed it.

No commentary or stupid gags, no time filler, just a quality mechanic doing quality work. Subbed 👍🏻

I envy your tool collection. Very nice video BTW. I watched the whole thing which is very rare on YT these days but you had no BS, no click bait, no annoying music. Keep up the good work!!

Having quality basics (ratchets and sockets) is awesome. I have Snapon 1/4" and 3/8" stuff while I'm not even a professional and I wouldn't say I regret it. The 18" Matco 3/8" ratchet I have is awesome but it's broken right now, waiting to get ahold of the Matco guy or if I can't get it warrantied being a second owner the rebuild kit is only around $35

I have devoured as many videos on this subject I can over the last 7 months as we purchased an 89 YJ back in May. This, as many have sad but I have to say it too, by far has been one of the most enjoyable, mesmerizing, and thorough repair videos I have watched. The time you took to do all the different camera angles and the lighting being just right is beyond well done. Thank you for doing what you do, I can say I would try and tackle this myself knowing I have this video to reference. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Right tools on the right job. I'm satisfied with these restoration.

A masterpiece of a video! Well done. Could watch for hours.

When I was in my mid-teens, my Daddy had us clean the parts with rags and gasoline. Oh, the fun times. I am glad you have all of these new products to work with.

One of my favourite restoration channels. Talented filming. Fascinating when you know nothing about cars. Better TV than the BBC. The A-Team are lucky to have you. :)

Superb video! No talk just great workmanship. Nice to see "all" parts replaced. You sir are a perfectionist and extremely knowledgeable. I want to see more of your work, I just subscribed.

If this is a personal shop it's insane. This would be a dream shop for me. I would probably sleep in it. Cherokees take a beating and seeing bits fully restored is great.

Great video! I could never even come close to any mechanical skills and work done here. But, it is a joy to watch!! Keep the videos coming!!

Best video yet of a tear down. No fluff and great angles. An ASMR quality to boot Now do the rest of it and film every bolt and connector !

I try so hard to watch other restoration Channels but I find myself coming back to your channel and and rewatching videos because I love them so much! Every video i perfection I watch them all from start to finish it calms my anxiety and clears my head thanks for the superb content ! You’re my absolute favorite yt channel!

Well done, that axle turned out great and you didn't cut corners slapping new parts on unpainted... Respect!

Nice mechanical work, nice presentation, nice commentary when needed, nice silence from all outside sources, nice video work. I am a fan already. Thank you, RS.

Not 1 word said. Still highly informative and entertaining to watch💯

Obviously, something you were meant to do. No more or less than what was needed. Very well thought of and carried out. Thanks ! Now, if I can only come close ... in my driveway, in the winter, with maybe just a few flakes of snow lol. Thanks again.

This gave me so much insite when I do my solid axle swap project on my 2011 ford ranger fx4. I really appreciate this video. Its well out together, the editing is phenomenal! Shows all of every detail, as if you was riggt there. Excellent guys!

No annoying music (except the sound of the engine) No words, perfect video. It's nice to see another professional mechanic with an assortment of tools ranging from Snap-On to Craftsman. Unfortunately, since I retired I've added a few Harbor Freight items...Sorry. I know you're professional because I saw blood.

First class video and work. The whole thing could not be improved. Many on this platform could learn much from it. “Well done, you fellas, keep up the good work.” 10/10

The silence is golden. Your work is art. Favorite YT vid of 2021 so far. Thanks!

Surely anyone that took the time to do all this thoroughly tested it. Lets see what it can do! That's a wicked suspension! Show the flex crawling big rocks. The gearing...is a perfect overall! Gotta show that off! (some day?) -Bert

Beautiful job. I love how people make comments like - “All that for a Dana 30.” Point being not all people require a 12 inch lift and heavy Dana 60 or 70. Cheers!

Love hearing the tools work. no music

This shit just fascinates me. When you have the right tools to do the job, it makes it so much easier.

High Pinion Dana 30 is a really good front axle. Very meticulous and clean work. Love your channel. Only wish you had more videos🤣👏💪💪💪🍺

Nice work, thank you for video! I often use powder coat for my axle details, when rebuilding it. Looks nice and strong surface, but covering unpainted areas are pain in the ass:) Ford Dana 35 particularly:) Greetings from Russia!

Dude, You gotta really awesome tool box. Not 1 single tool used incorrectly. And you fabed some parts better than new! Awesome 😎

Thank you and congratulations, you show the process very clearly !!

That Xj is going to be mint! Great work!

This was great. If you're up too it the Dana 60 would be a great project. Plenty of those out there as well! Thanks for the excellent videos.

Wow! Just Wow! It’s so impressive to watch! Thanks for the great videos!!

Of uih

first video I watch from this channel. This was the most amazing restoration video I've ever seen in my life. From Brazil.

Appreciate the lack of usually appalling background music! Good workmanship displayed here, now at 70 years of age with arthritus, cordless impact drivers assist me immensely , a favorite tool of mine for seriously tight larger nuts'n bolts is a 230 volt AC impact driver, always use a spray lube on threads prior. A good clean area to work in and quality tools are the mark of a good tradesman. I enjoyed viewing this well done dissasembly of the Dana, I have a D 44 HD on hi boy F 250 that will be getting some new bearings and joints soon so this was a good preview. Thankyou.

And the big question is: would I trust this guy to work on my car? YES I WOULD!! Great job ... nice vídeo to watch!

Sorprendente todo el trabajo que se lleva, algun dia quiero hacer reparaciones asi por ahora estudio 2º año de mecanica automotriz

Be doing FULL rebuild on a loved and much valued 2003 ram 1500 hemi with over 250k miles soon. Truck all original was well took care of and maintained throughout its life. 2 owner truck second being me obviously. Original owner a good friend that lives by my parents house. He kept maintenance up on it. Got it good tires, fluids, parts. Truck is not stock, it’s got a K&N air filter, hypertech tune, throttle kit, Gibson exhaust and headers stock catalytic converter. Powerhouse. Fast truck a lot of power. It’s got rough country 4 inch leveled. Rocking BFG all terrains with nice tread. Nothing ridiculous. Looks fantastic. Stock 17 inch alloy rims on it. No body mods. All stock body wise. Truck had rear fender and rocker panel rust (Northeast vehicle) i repaired all that. Left all the small dents it’s got it adds character. Just driving it and enjoying it. It’s more of a winter truck/ enjoyment vehicle now. Was a daily for many many years. The original owner drove it everyday. He didn’t have any other vehicle. I buy I drive it everyday. I let it chill though since it had 200k when I bought it. I basically put almost 60k on it. It still goes. I can get in it and fricken floor it and it’ll fly like a rocket. I’m driving it until it’s starting to loose power. It hasn’t been drove in a little bit. I just put high quality spark plugs in it. It’s chilling under my shed all cleaned up. Pretty soon it’ll get classic vehicle plate. Like your doing here I plan on giving that truck a full rebuild of all its mechanical bits. Everything on it still works and is good. Got plans for that old boah. Glad to see what your doing here with this ole jeep Cherokee

That Jeep axle now belongs in the Smithsonian Institute! Outstanding restoration!

That was awesome!!!!! You did a crazy good job sandblasting and restoring all of the parts!

Watching this guy work is akin to watching someone manicure their Zen garden - Is it the technical skill, or the science, or the art or the love or...? I don't know. But it makes me feel good!

Never thought it would find a most satisfying video 👌👍👏

This process will take you much longer than 45 minutes I can assure you. Just because the video is 42 minutes long don’t mean it took him 42 mins. If there were no cuts or edits and it was just a solid video from start to finish you’d see how long it took. I honestly hope you’re just joking around, or just generally don’t have an idea of how editing works and why it is done. It’s common sense to most.

It is amazing what sand blasting can take off; damn.

Just WOW....elbow grease and ingenuity. Love it.

Very good job on the axle nice 👌. Thanks for sharing yors projects.

Where did you get that tool for pushing out the U joints?

You should get a brass drift for knocking out the bearing raise will prevent the possibility of damage to the bore should the punch slip. All in all a great job didn't see anything wrong with the work based on my 30 years experience as a mechanic. Love the channel.

Cold pressing is possible, but this eventually leads to a change in diameter and reduces the required tightness and precision in the joint. Therefore, it is recommended to heat the bearings up to 80-90g, depending on the preload.

Wow..this is art in motion, very well done.

Oddly satisfying, and vary helpful. My Dana 30 is basically rusted beyond reasonable salvation so I get to do all of this to a not so holy assembly from the junkyard. Between this and the book, shouldn't be too bad to get right the first time.

Хорошо поработал ! Может при очистке внутреннего пространства, где валы, нужно было добавить густой искусственной смазки ? Потом промыть консервирующим составом. Это бы значительно увеличило срок службы моста. Well done ! Maybe when cleaning the internal space where the shafts were, it was necessary to add a thick artificial lubricant ? Then rinse with a preservative composition. This would significantly increase the service life of the Front Axle. Сейчас выпускается столько полезной автомобильной "химии" но мало кто её использует и вообще знает о её возможностях. Прошу прощения за автоматический перевод, английский учил в школе. Сдал экзамен и забыл язык напрочь. There are so many useful automotive "chemicals" being produced now, but few people use it and generally know about its capabilities. I apologize for the automatic translation, I learned English at school. I passed the exam and forgot the language completely.

Im just trying to clean up a Dana30/8.25 and beef them up. I dont do any crazy rock crawling and what not. mainly lite trails and mud. If I ever do rocks though I should be ok with what im doing.

I would at least jump up to a Dana 44. But a Dana 60 would be ideal. The Dana 30 and 35's are so fragile and weak. We also see the knuckles bow in words at the top giving you negative camber. We all ways are putting off set ball joints in to correct camber. They are just week axles in general same as Dana 44. What's strange Is the Ford f250 and f350 we hardly ever have to put cams in them for camber. But a dodge 2500 and 3500 which I believe is close to the same axle assembly will need off set ball joints just like the jeeps. At least ford's you can use can bushings.

Those OTC ball joint tools are the best. Nice work!

hello, you are an artist, I really enjoy your work! thank you.
