Nice WJ. My son and I built long arms with triangulated 4-link rear and swapped in JK Dana 44 axles into his 2004 WJ. Johnny Joints and Tom Woods driveshafts as well as replaced the 242 transfer case with a 231 as no need to full-time or full-time 4WD option. We also did the fuel tank tuck as well as fabricated front/rear bumpers and tire carrier. Greatly improved the approach and departure angles. We build sliders as well as a tubular storage rack inside the rear cargo area to hold his Powertank and Hi-Lift jack. One thing I suggest is clocking the knuckles to keep a near zero driveshaft to pinion angle on the front and be able to get 6+ degrees of caster. One of the best things we did for handling on his WJ. The reclocking of the knuckles and cutting the coil spring buckets on the axle and changing the angle to keep the coils from arcing was paramount in a proper vibration free WJ with 6+ inches of lift. Enjoy you trip out west here. You'll love it. Mike

I just bought my first WJ. 3 weeks ago. I owned a 76 Jeep Cherokee Chief when I was 17years old. I was inspired to fix her up by watching this channel and some others. I feel more confident in transforming her into an awesome 4x4 that I can take my kids to some neat places in Arizona! I love your channel. I am learning a great deal. Thank you!

Those rear lower long arms are upside down . But beautiful Jeep!! The rear lowers are curved to hug the bottom of the body for ground clearance

Lol how many have you built ? =0 Turn them over and you will cut you articulation limit in half or worse. Nice thought tho stick to the grocery store runs tho bud

I love the WJ content! A truck WJ build would be AWESOME I dont think theres anyone that has done a well documented build on one. Keep up the great work 👍

You need to do the 01 Dakota radiator fill hose and cap swap on the bleeder side of your 4.7 Jeep makes bleeding air from the cooling system a breeze!

Absolutely loving the WJ! Definitely like to see an XJ build! But I am definitely bias since my Goat an XJ! Subscribed and will check out your other vids. If you come to Seattle area let’s go wheeling! I know it’s an XJ but check out how we trimmed our fenders and used 3M molding to make it look pretty much factory.

More WJ content, not enough of it out there...love this build

With regard to the EVAP system, in 2001 the canister/pump and other associated equipment was actually in the engine bay, tucked in behind the brake booster. Which eliminates the canister from behind the tire and eliminates one of the lines running the full length of the vehicle. Ive bought the the entire system at local salvage in my area for less than 40$. Its tedious, but a rock solid solution you only have to do once. Great build my friend!!

By far one of the cleanist set ups I've seen. Just go an 02 limited WJ. Great info!

Just picked up my first WJ recently. Can’t wait to start building.

Definitely could use those parts on mine. Just put new springs and shocks front and rear

I love the secundaria gen jeep grand cherokees id love to see any video with builds with em

That's is one heck of beautiful Wj I had a 99 in the taupe frost color. Unfortunately it met it's unfortunate demise because of the Michigan rust the rear axle snapped off the body and the upper rear a arm on the body side was gone. It would be awesome to see you guys do an xj conversion into a truck so that it ends up as a 4 door truck maybe even rock crawler style.

I'm enjoying following your build, am beginning an 04 limited 4.7 that I picked up at a salvage auction that I plan on taking adventures with around the country. Keep up the hard work.

It looks really good. I just bought some varilock diffs for mine. Haven't got them in yet. I may be the smallest wj in the ozarks. But I think those will help a lot. I have a 2 inch lift. Everyone tells me I need a adjustable track bar. But it seems fine without it. My wj gets great fuel mileage. At 65 on the highway it gets 24 mpg. I'd like to see an old Comanche build

Try using a Bosch platinum +4 the plug code is 4428 and dump in some BG EPR before an oil change and you'll extend that engines life and actually wake it up. I'm tempted to do another Jeep build very similar to yours but this time I'm going to do a T-case swap to a select-trac as I want the ability for 2 wheel drive. Nice build!

The howling diff is likely from someone not adding in the additive. Depending on which cooling fan you have, if they put transmission fluid in the power steering pump it ruin it. People tear things up by not treating them right
