That video still haunts me to this day. Only about 10,000 of these were ever made. I ran mine to 235,000 miles before the transmission gave out. I wouldn't sell it to anyone who just wanted it as a sweet parts car for their 5.2 limited. I eventually sold it to a wealthy family who wanted to recondition/restore it.

Dude, you left the best part out... the exhaust note! Come on man!

Start to finish car repair/restoration videos are so much preferred over drawn out multi-video projects that lead people to say, "Another KZreadr not finishing projects." Thank you, Alex!!! You seem to understand what we all like! Please don't become all aloof and then buy multiple Lamborghinis and Ferraris that are projects that seem to never have a "finished" point.

can you remove the seat cover to re-sew it? Should be easier than sewing with it attached to the seat foam.

It’s pretty easy on a later WJ as I recollect. I had them off mine to replace the seat heater element. Jeep did a repair pad that you just put between the foam and the cover and plugged into the existing wiring. It would be easy to re-sew the seam from the inside with the cover off

I had to remove the kit for it to drive, but after getting it moving I can't wait to save up and get everything in order! Your videos are an inspiration, thanks for making them!

Felicidades. I my self bought a 98 5.9L two years ago and a I had to do tones of cosmetic, detail and mechanical repairs myself. I wanted this Jeep since I was 23 years old. I am 38 now and I love this beautiful SUV. You did a great job on yours.

My rear glass isn't popping on my Expedition so this video gave me some good places to start looking...

Yep, this is just cool. And the effort you put is just extraordinary

I bought a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited from auction and I'm doing a rebuild on it. Got a junkyard rear bumper and fender, painted and clearcoated them, drain and fill on rear diff and trans, going through engine, had heads rebuilt (4.7L), replaced oil pump, timing chain set, water pump, various sensors, hoses...still not done, but looking forward to a pretty pristine SUV once I am done. Super comfortable, love it.

I've always wanted this SUV.i had the 5.2 LTR for 15yrs. Promised to give it to my son but it just had too many issues. Loved it -Miss it.great video,brings back so many memories.

I needed something to get through a bad Detroit winter 5yrs ago so I bought a JGC off my friend for cheap thinking it had the 5.2... Went to fill up and noticed it needed premium, that is when I realized what I had scored, the 5.9! What a powerhouse for that size of SUV. 9mpg and didn't care. Had to get rid of it that spring after finding out it needed a whole new transfer case along with a slew of random electrical issues... miss that car. Great job on this one!

This came out great! I'm really glad you saved this. I love these ZJ's, especially the 5.9. I had a 97 ZJ up until 2013, I still miss it. It was a great vehicle, unfortunately New England rust had taken over. I owned it for about 12 years, it was always a great vehicle and never left me stranded. And you are 100% correct that they have amazing seats!

Oh my goodness, most definitely an 89-93 Fox body GT Mustang in triple black with the hatchback. That was my dream car as a young teen in the early 1990s.

Amazing Alex, love the passion and the speed as well as the ability to leave it at a good driver without going full metal jacket on it. Would love an older BMW E30, E34, E32, they get abandoned a lot and usually have quite easy fixes and simple mechanics as far as the 6 cylinder variants go.

I love watching videos like this cause I just restored my Jeep ZJ as well and now I’m on to fixing up the inside

Man, this has me reminiscing like crazy. My very first car back in 2006 was a black ‘98 Grand Cherokee Laredo 4x4 Limited, and had the black/tweed cloth, and the wood grain trim hah I ended up getting a 5” pro comp suspension lift, some chrome American Racing off road steelies wrapped in some Terra Grapplers, a magnaflow exhaust, a K&N intake, a Yakima roof basket, and of course being a 16yo kid I had to throw a JBL 10” sub in a ported box in the back, all JBL door speakers/tweeters, and a gaudy Kenwood color changing headunit that came with the worlds most pointless little remote 😂 god I miss that jeep so much. For being a ‘98 I’m still blown away by how ahead of its time it was. Everything was electric, and the roof console setup and screen display it had was incredible. Could change it from a compass & ambient temp, to digital clock, to gps coordinates, to avg mpg, to gallons left in the tank, to your estimated remaining range, and even your travel time. I would LOVE to get into another one some day and do a nostalgia build making it exactly like I had mine back then.

Lost my wife last year and I'm a at home mechanic. I watch your vids and the help my anxiety so we'll. Keep up the great work brother!

Quite possibly your best series to date! Love it, and I’m not even a Jeep guy. Awesome, keep it up!

Watching the dirt come off from under the hood "protector" with the pressure washer was SO satisfying!

My dad bought a white 5.9 almost brand new. We towed our four wheelers and went on many trips. That think was an absolute joy to floor from a dead stop, getting up to speed entering a highway, or when trying to get out in front of some traffic! 😁 I remember getting a super cars book in school and seeing our jeep being in it and thinking that was so cool! The 12 miles to the gallon gas mileage was horrendous though, I guess it cost to have fun though. 😎
