I have learned to ignore reviews online. People only leave reviews when it's a bad, one off situation. People that have had good experiences with something hardly ever go back to leave a review.

I agree!

Love your XJ. Also your other videos covering the Green Machine have been awesome to follow along with!

Your undercarriage is so clean! Must be a nice benefit of living out west. Over here, what I can do in less than 30 seconds in the mud will take DAYS to clean!!

You did a great job on this green machine.

Ive had the same experience with my Rough Country springs. Ive had them for 2 years and they still haven't sagged and Id be happy to buy them again. Ive learned to ignore most of what the internet says.

Wow, your welds look top notch on your roof rack an those bottom protector things(or whatever you call them). Hats off.

That XJ is great! I would probably look into upgrading the shocks for tunable ones, but other than that, it's just right! Thank you!👍

Saw you today man headed to the car wash. Jeep looks great in person man. I tried getting your attention but you were looking dead ahead.

Hey Tim.. Nice job on your XJ. I really like your slider bars, and the cargo rack on the roof. 👍

Love the jeep and the scenery. Wish I had that kind of land in my back yard.

She sure is a beauty! I had one of those back in 98! I regret ever getting rid of it!👌😎👍

Real nice roof rack. You did a great job on that.

RESPECT !! TWO thumbs up !!

Nice to see an update on my favorite Jeep on the channel! What I would do to be able to copy yours lol(exact same axles/ truss/ discs/ 3 linked). maybe one day in the far far future 😖, and only if all the stars align 🙏🙏🙏...

Glad to see this year review looks like everything is holding up great Tim I really do like this jeep too and I'm a zj guy lol

Damn that rear bump stop/shock mount is BAD @$$

sweet video and good Jeep ...nice job my friend!👍🏻

Cool update, thanks.

Your Jeep is my Dream Jeep

Hey Tim, I like all of you guys' work but your XJ is really probably closest to my heart. It is very offroad capable but still street legal which is a must for me. Unfortunately street legal in my country means a lot of restrictions and many things you guys consider normal and do on daily basis are off limits here. My MOT is already expired, I've planned it for this wednesday so we'll see what they will think of my mods :) Still, I have used your XJ as bit of a guide/template in working on my Cherokee, fabricating stuff to have fun and also save money. Anyways, those rear bumb stops kind of caught my eye now. I will have a look into those, maybe make them adjustable 2 inches or so or put airbags there. Thanks for the video, Martin

this is one awesome rig !

I bought some Treadwrights (Claws) based on your video, no problem so far.

Nice jeep brotha, Good job, thanks for the info.

great video, nice build, clean and effective.

Great overview of the project. You did mention in an earlier video that you changed the Caster on the front Dana 44 during the retube process. Maybe a little description of that idea could be helpful for the audience as to why you did that and why you choose the degree of Caster you wanted. Some of us know why that was done but likely not all know what it does or why a certain change of degrees does something to the drivability of the vehicle. Thanks for the video review.

Those two xj are getting super rare..nice bro

Do you remember if that JK rear driveshaft is for the 07-11 or the 12-18. I love this build man. I have a vast background in custom fab but never in the 4x4 world. I bought my first XJ over the weekend. Already had my setup planned, found green machine, and it verified my vision!

Nice jeep! I want a 2 door now

Yea, me too, I think the Rough Country lift and other products I slapped on my 95, 93, and 88 YJ's are a great price and great quality, been performing for years now. I think it might be that "gear-head" mentality: "must be over-engineered or else it's not worthwhile"... but most people who do customizations to their vehicles aren't running them in the extreme.

Nice jeep. Hello from Pendleton Oregon. I received a 97 jeep cherokee. And am looking to upgrade it. Thanks for the video

People doesn't seem to realize the purpose of cores being returned to the part places like autozone and others. You return your core, an OEM part and they remanufacture said OEM part and sale it back to the public. With that said, sometimes reman'd parts can be better than their store brand that's new.

Nice Jeep, nice job!

That's strange, I've had 2 sets of the guard dogs and I've beat the crap out of mine, and I've never had an issue with them. Only reason I replaced my last set was because the side walls were cracked from letting them sit for 2 years when the jeep was dicked.

The tread is separated from the belt. I have contacted treadwrights and they are replacing them but I really don't trust them to hold up. Also there customer service is pretty poor. We the first two failed I never received any communication from them just the shipping notification and the third one has taken a month to get replaced.

It looks great! My favorite Jeep on the channel! Couldn't help but notice the lack of a rear bumper in this video and that you were rocking a stock bumper in the Moab clips, what happened to the Affordable Off-Road one?

@bleepinjeep

6 жыл бұрын

I ended up selling some time ago to fund the materials to build a custom tire carrier bumper. Don't remember what happened but the money went elsewhere. I'm hoping to use a bunch of RuffStuff's bumper fab parts to finally build one this summer. I took the oem bumper off to measure some stuff.

Never had a problem with my rough country springs but the bushings were crummy

Question. I see it's a Ford Dana 44 with the 3 link on the passenger side. Everything is super smooth. And I want mine to come out the same way. What brackets did you use on your axle? More importantly, did you center the spring pad on the axle vs offset like the Jeep came factory? See I will be running high steer knuckles on mine so an OTK trackbar bracket In the same spot, directly In front of the spring would be epic.

So you used a JK front double cardan driveshaft as your rear correct? What were the extended/collapsed lengthes?

A lot of what you read online is the experience of those who have no experience, doing it wrong lol. So the best way to learn if something works without trying it yourself, is to watch a video like this. 10 points (although I don't have a xj..) But thats ok.. Cuz I finished my lift early, its only 2 am here SO JEEP VIDEOS why not

😮 i need some of those bars ontop of my jeep for my jon boat

With a hp 44 and 9" rear your safe to run up to 40" tires. It blows my mind you'd make the effort to make the axle swap to run re-tread 33s you can't even air down. Great build but there is so much more potential behind this jeep. I just got a hp 44 and 9" with 5.38 gears and Detroit lockers front and rear. 35 spline chromolys as well.

Great video 5 years later! I took a shot every time you said Moab… I’m done. 😅

Pretty sure your calipers are on backwards. I love your jeep so clean

Great vid. Do you think axles are totally nescarry? 33 tires are what we are gonna run.

do they just say 1/4" should do it here, 3/8" there, and call it good engineering wise?

Considering all the other welding-based mods, I'm surprised to see no frame plating.

Hello I have a 88 Chevy Silverado I want to know with year and kind of truck have the best axle I should look for..

5 out of 12 bolts installed he said oh well whatever!! 🤣🤣nice though

How did you do the rear suspension on Project Green Machine? I have a Ford 9 in the back of my 2000 XJ and it rides like a rock. I feel like I am always bottoming out the rear shocks.

Hi from Roseburg Ore.

You ever have problems with the clutch acting up not going into gear( not grinding) mines a 92 just had a clutch installed and new slave but now have this problem

I had no issues with my rough country 3 inch lift springs. Then my Jeep got totaled (rear ended) the rear shocks sucked though, I’ve gone through 2 sets on 2 different jeeps. They keep leaking.

@bleepinjeep

Hey Tim ! Although your rear limited slip is toasted, did it do it's job before it was worn out? Or are lockers the only way to go in the first place.

@bleepinjeep

6 жыл бұрын

Definitely lockers are better. It was toasted to begin with, after all these axles were pulled from a 1978 truck and I'm sure the truck was well used. It seems to work when I'm really spinning the tires hard but its basically useless for crawling.

Tim: Not surprise the rear clutches were burned up or worn out. I noticed the condition of the gear oil draining out as you removed the pumpkin in another video and it was silvery black muck. Was really surprised you didn't service the front stub axle's and/or bearings too. Likely that will get done at some point when the front ring and pinion are replaced as they are mostly running on the "toe" side of the teeth. In the end, much saved dollars for those great front & rear housing parts no matter how worn they were.

Whats the gas mileage and top speed for the jeep? Could this be used as a daily driver?

I like your vids, I was watching this one and you were talking about the brakes in the rear, I looked thru several comments and I did not see any yet about you having the calipers on the wrongs side.... the bleeder should be at the highest point to allow all of the air out during bleeding. I assume all is good for you and that is all that matters, if it has already been addressed please excuse my comment.

How can I get the bump stop mount. Don't need to mount shocks on it but really like the bump stop mounted that way

It was originally drum, both the stock axle and the Ford 9 inch I swapped in as seen in the video. After welding on the caliber brackets I didn't have to change a thing for the disc brakes. As I said in the video though, I will be adding a manual adjustable portioning valve ($40 from Summit) so I can turn down the pressure to them because they brake harder than the fronts as is.
