What a beautiful jeep!

У меня такой же, только 4.0 ларедо до рестайл, тачка огонь, береги его, таких больше не делают!

I had 1 in 2010, same color, same 5.2, muffler delete and an ebay CAI, lol, my NOW grown children STILL remember that vehicle, they used to love it when I picked them up from grammar school, "make it loud daddy", 😂 good times!!! Those seats were probably the most comfortable seats ever!!!

Thank you. And good fun wrenching and maintaining your 5.9er :)

I'm so happy these are still respected. I had 3

Vey similar to my 1998 5.9L ZJ. I’ve had it for 19 years and it is still running strong and looking as beautiful as she did when i bought her. Nice work on your Jeep… she looks fantastic!

Looks very good, very clean... One of my dream cars.

Beautifully done ✅ I have the 2004 Absolutely love them ❤ Best of luck 🤞🏼 😊

There Is only one Word to describe your work......WOW best ZJ ever seen! Congrats.

Beautiful Jeep. I love the color and the saddle interior.

Beautiful! Looks like new, inside and out. ❤

Great work keeping ZG fresh.

Very nice color combo and restoration. And I did the same 3D printed parts to fix the headlights on mine :)

Proud owner of a 2004. ZJs are awesome. This is stunning. Excellent refurbished condition in meticulous detail. I'm trying to do something similar with mine but not on this scale haha..I did install some low beam LED headlights today which look excellent. I know I need some new bushings as well. Thanks for the video and beautiful scenic drive!

Nice 👍

Beautiful

Good work!

Thank you so much for the info. Looks awesome!

You have done a great job and the Jeep looks fantastic! I previously owned three of these myself, one from 1998 in stock condition and two from 1997 all with the 5.2 l V8. Today I have only two left though I had to sell the stock -98 and none of the ones I have left are in stock condition. One is highly modified as I use it for offroad driving and one that now is my daily driver is only slightly modified with a 3 inch lift, adjustable control arms and trackbars, other coil springs, shocks, sway bars and some strong rockslides. But when I see yours I start to consider buying one more just to have a stock in this very good condition!

That’s one beautiful Jeep 😍

holy crap fred. this looks amazing!

Pretty awesome what you did, looks new.

U might want to check the dist pickup coli wires (three) exiting the mid-section of dist. The insultation was shot on mine (brittle and missing), and the three wires were exposed for about 3cm -- and soaked in black crud. The same was true of the CPS, where the plug leads were bare and touching -- causing the classic CPS issue (sensor itself was good). I replaced both. Otherwise, super nice -- and rare -- vehicle. 😎

@Fredward_K

Many thanks for your Input. Never thought of checking this. Even though while I changed the CPS I worked in this exact area. I only did the CPS to prevent any issues with the old one in the middle of nowhere. While I did this I cleaned the wiring of the ECU and CPS, treated the contacts with contact spray and protected the wires with new cotton tape and plastic tubing. But I missed checking (cleaning and protecting) the Distributor wires that are also hidden between engine and fire wall like the CPS wires. Not even while servicing the ignition I thought about these wires... Thank you. Will definitely check. :)

Hi, I have a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee and it started to have this grinding/noise in the rear end. So I took it to a repair shop and they replaced the carrier bearing, but I am not sure if both. But now it's making a owl-howling noise whooooo at 55 plus it's more louder, when you let off the gas it goes away and then apply gas it's back and getting louder past 60- 65 mph, seems like it's coming from the rear shaft or diff have you had this problem? Thanks

Wrong pinon gear preload / Ring gear backleash. Overhauling the differential is a task that requires a lot of experience. Unfortunately, not every workshop has that... Get a Master Overhaul kit (Yukon/Timken) Find an experienced workshop that can overhaul your differential properly and professionally. If you continue to drive like this it will just get more expensive because you will then also need a new pinion and ring.

Welp, i wouldve called you a liar if you had told me this car had 191000KM. It shows half that, if not less. There is just something that seems so amusing about driving a "big" american SUV around those tight european roads, lounging on those supremely comfortable chairs, completely isolated from the road or the outside world.

@@Fredward_K they look wider on the video but the 255 will definitely look even better. Ours used to have 275 just for the looks but I think the new owner changed it to 225 to pass MOT. I'll have to find which wheel/tire combos are legal from factory.

​@@goncalolourenco6989 I feel the same. The Cooper Discoverer AT3 does look a bit wider. I really like the the look of these tires. Especially with the white lettering. They wet grip is also pretty decent for AT Tires. And they are quiet like street winter tires. I think 275 55 R16 is the widest and biggest size for the factory 16" Rims (Y Spokes or 5.9er Five Star). Wider tires are not really possbile for 7" wide rims. And for the hight you will probably need 2" lift. Popular bigger tires are 245 70 R16 or 255 65 R16. For these there is a bit of trimming needed on the front fascia. And maybe the steering has to be adjusted otherwise they will rub on the lower control Arm. They shouldn't be that big of an issue to legalize. 7"x16" Rims (Y-Spoke and 5.9L 5-Star) has from factory only one size -> 225 70 R16 Grand Cherokee with 7x15" Rim (e.g. Canyon) came in different sizes from factory: -> 215 75 R15 -> 225 75 R15 -> 245 75 R15 There is a sticker in the glove compartment for these different facroty tires sizes (and tire pressures). But the smallest tire size the specific car is legal to run is written on the stricker in the drivers door.

​@@evgeni131 You're welcome. :) :) :) I brought my E34 back in 2013. It was my very first car. The E34 has been my dream car since I was a child. I was lucky because when I brought it, the E34 was considered a regular old BMW, so it wasn't that expensive, espessially because it's "just" a 520i with the M50B20TU. But it was in good condition, had all the options I was looking for and I really like this color (Fjordgrau)... But I still (until today) dream of a 540i with a 6-speed manual. Especially when I got to ride in one at a car meet... However, they are very rare and their prices have increased much earlier... Since they are also a bit more expensive to maintain, I couldn't afford one back then as a student with part-time jobs anyway... And with the encreased prices of today, any additinol E34 will remain a dream... I really like the alpes it's the home of my choice since a few years now. Advice for a nice tour through Tirol: Alte Brennerstraße -> Kühtaisattel -> Ötztaler Gletscherstraße -> Trimmelsjoch (crosses boarder to italy) -> Jaufenpass (back to Tirol) And bit further West near Ischgl is the Silvretta-Hochalpenstraße. This is also really really nice. There are many options. Kärtnen and Steirmark is also really nice. And not only Austrian Alps. South Tirol is also really nice -> the Dolomites. I still want to drive the Route de grandes alpes. Starts in geneva switzerland and ends in Nice on the french Rivera. Nealy 700km - 21 alpine passes through the french alps - but this is like a two week trip just for the route. Grettings to latvia

Why did you have to have the driveshafts balanced?

@Fredward_K

6 ай бұрын

Because I thought new parts -> new weights. To true them, both shafts needed weights in different locations then the old factory ones. So my thought was not that wrong. It's like putting a new tire of the same type on the same rim. Even though you orient it the same as the old one -> It will never be true. They are slightly different. Ok rubber tieres varies more then drive shaft links, but the driveshaft also rotates (in this case) 3.73 times faster then the wheels.
