Was there a trick to getting the lug bolts off? I wanted to try the technique of reversing the lugs bolts and adding a nut, but there's no space on the back to get it off.

How can you made there with a SUV? I thought only high clearance vehicle can make it for the kind of terrain. Also what kind of tires did you use for this kind of terrain?

The axle nut should NEVER be done up with an impact gun! Get the bolt on about 95%, but DEFINITELY use a torque wrench to do the final drive home. You said your torque wrench only goes to 200, so perhaps borrowing one from a parts store or Pep Boys, etc that CAN give you the correct torque. I recently did a similar job on a passenger car and had to 'stake' the collar of the axle nut to lock it into place for safety. Does Jeep do anything similar?

Great video!! ❤ Thanks for doing this walk-thru as this front wheel bearing on the WK2 appears to be a common issue. I laughed at 12:37 when you sped the video up to remove the bearing/hub assembly! It was like a frenetic robot was just hammering to town to release the assembly, kinda like a jackhammer! 😅 Your video makes it look doable by all of us driveway mechanics on the cardboard creepers! Thanks again and great work!

Where you experiencing vibration in the front end at high speed by any chance, is this what lead you to the wheel bearing replacement diagnosis? I have a 2014 with this problem, that’s why I ask.

Drove all over that area in 1996, going out next week from Georgia. Thanks for the video, perfect refresher, given I’ll be in a similar vehicle.

Interesting. Thanks for showing me. By the way, the OEM Mopar ATF+4 was about $1.20 less per quart than the Valvoline-labeled version; comparing prices of 6-packs on Amazon.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏

Just want to say thank you for making this video. It definitely helped me out doing my wife's jeep. Awesome video

They do make open end wrenches, for those tight spaces...just sayin.

Any issues since the swap? I’m doing the same on my 2015 wk2 limited, switching to 255/75r17.

Only thing I would’ve added to your video is to apply anti-seize to areas where corrosion is common to make it easier to remove in the future.

New transmission

I fill my nag 1 up to 90 since 7 years ago. I try using shell Atf 134 that is special made for nag1 , 722.6 5 and 7 speed mercedes and feel better.

Are you checking the fluid level with the engine running and in Drive. Thanks

Lol you don't have a low range in your differential. Low range comes from a transfer case and if you have a transfer case that means you have four-wheel drive if you do not have a transfer case and all four tires spin that means you have all-wheel drive in order to get low range you need to transfer case it has nothing to do with the differentials

Elevation change has nothing to do with tow rating. Tow rating is engine cooling and transmission cooling features as well as the braking system. All it means it's going to take you longer to get up that hill you're climbing but the tow rating remains the same.

I'm absolutely amazed at you driving through the desert and seeing the mountains remain so far off in the distance! It's such a trick on the eyes. How frightening this must have been to be pulling a wagon at 1mph.

My 2008 Liberty is Trail Rated. Has Descend control also

So at the crucial moment i was looking for thiers a washer/spacer that goes on behind the wheelbearing..itd be good to know if its an old part from the junk wheelbearing or if it belongs thier

Nice, but I think that your speedometer will read wrong, so use your garmen navigator for the speed.

Thanks for posting this! Had same problem on mine with 37000 miles 😂

My 2015 gets 20 mpg. It last me two weeks on a full tank of gas driving 36 miles a day. It only costed me $60 to fill. Its not the bad with the size of the engine being 3.6 L.

howdy! nice work man!

I just bought a trail rated one today this thing was a gem is a jem it has like 80k brand new tires it has everything but the full length skid plates its definitely a rugged frame and it has the clearance I didn't even know that why I'm looking it up do you know how many the sold with the 4.0 05 trail rated Grand Cherokee Laredo it's so nice all I have to do is the back driver's brake needs pads inspected

excellent video, congratulations, I have the same problem and I need to change the engine mount on both sides, but I have a question as to whether the engine mounts are the same for both sides or are they different? Why did I only find one that says right side? and I don't know if I should buy 2. Thank you

I put 275 65 18 summits on mine and I love it

My 2022 cherokee trail hawk only jas 8.7 inches clearance. And its a inch higher then all other cherokees

What tire size? 285/60 R18?

Jeep dealership wanted to charge me $1800 to replace mine and it wasn’t covered in my powertrain warranty, which is absolutely ridiculous! Thank God for a mechanic in the family, and videos like yours!

Thanks for posting great help

how do i check the trans temp on a 05 cherokee laredo

It's about $1600 for the Hemi mounts... I have maxcare, the mounts have been done 2x in 250K miles. I need a passenger side mount again.. I can heart it

Tires are dry rotted ? 🙈

They also make a 4.88 gearing and 5.29

Yea dude no

Did it require any "flashing," or programming? Or was it literally remove the other and install this one?

I've been up there several times, but usually coming in from the Aragonite exit off of I80. Haven't been to 8 Mile Spring yet. Thanks for sharing!

Hi there I've got a 2011 grand cherokee overland with Eco diesel with 265 50 20's , can you or any tell will these Rubicon rims fit ? Like the look and would be a cheaper way to go in my case cheers

What's the deal with the axle socket? Is it a 31mm or some kind of specialty socket?

Do you think it would work if I loosened the hub bolts about a 1/4 in. and then tapped them out a bit?

Happy 4th of july where is Lillian???

Glad to se someone actually 4 x 4 without tearing up their truck

Finally someone that got the socket size right. Tons of videos saying it’s a 36mm.

That river is so beautiful

Hey

That's lighting

Drooby face with the dad joke

Where is Lillian

Love it! ❤❤
