$250 ZJ "Dirt Cheap Jeep" Grand Cherokee Project : PART 5 (LIFT DONE!)

[@jasondennis3953]

I’m about to get a 96 cherokee from a buddy and I’m pretty excited and seeing your videos gets me even more hyped up lol but I’m really loving the wheels on this bad boy!

[@kotaman232]

This is my favorite ZJ series! Keep the videos coming!

[@kotaman232]

Where's Part 6?

[@2KZX3]

Great vids man, your daughter is adorable. I have 2 of my own. They're actually helping me build my jeep right now.

[@erikradzins]

Thanks man! Kids are great and its up to US as fathers to make sure they like cars/trucks in the future as well as know how to work on things. :) Thanks for the love man!

[@darrensadler2877]

rear lower control arms are on upside down. they are called high clearance arms for a reason so they don't hang that low. they should be bent just like the front.

[@erikradzins]

I flipped them around. :) Thanks for the catch guys.... got another video dropping, with all sorts of jeep carnage! :)

[@darrensadler2877]

Not a problem and I am ready to see that video

[@erikradzins]

Posted!

[@riobravomultimedia4104]

Take a heat gun to the gray trim all around the bottom of that jeep and it’ll get its color back and get dark again

[@0-BADVIBE-0]

You done good Mike's Hard Lemonade.

[@bustedback]

I didn't do the whole drill and install crush sleeve thing for the rear brackets. I used the two bolts that go in from the bottom and welded the rest of the bracket on.

[@erikradzins]

I thought about doing that, I might still do it. :)

[@kwhites1012]

Awesome vids! Subscribed! Pretty sure the lower rear arms are on upside-down. The arch should face up for more ground clearance. Can't wait to see it's maiden beat down.

[@erikradzins]

Really? hmmmm interesting they fit perfect, and its aligned right. BUT see this is why I am an amature. :) Time to go double check. LOL

[@bustedback]

802vanman yeah, those arms are upside down.

[@erikradzins]

I flipped them back the other way, days before the trip to the park! THANKS FOR catching this guys!

[@KurNorock]

Yep, upside down, first thing I noticed. lol

[@MrMikolMunoz]

@@erikradzins I just bought a 95 zj was wondering how much you spent total and was size engine your 97 had?

[@MyGreybush]

Any update on the lift and how the zj is doing

[@eugenerobbins5782]

Plus front brush guard bake brake light covers

[@2wildtravlers]

THAT LOOKS SO GOOD SAME ONE AS MINE!

[@eugenerobbins5782]

Got a 1995 yj Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo putting 6 inch lift on plus tires from jeep Rubicon tires and rims

[@kruelzombieful]

Rear lower control arms are on backwards.

[@erikradzins]

We swapped them after we figured that out LOL. Newbie problems.

[@davidtrevino5211]

LMAO

[@nobsatthistime]

let me know how you make out with the death wobble also the lower track bar ripping right off the Axle as mine did with a 2 inch lift.

[@erikradzins]

No death wobble at all. :) And I drive her 80mph frequently.

[@chrisstevens1401]

What kit did you use for the back I like how thay fit in the stock 4 link spots on the axle

[@zerofuckkksgiven8027]

Did you guys dock?

[@jesusf9465]

Lo recomendable en este kit es 31” ¿porque utilizas 33? ¿Roza con la carrocería?

[@garysisk3431]

put some LOKKA lunchbox lockers in it so it can actually climb something. The best value in a 4x4 is it actually being a 4x4, LOKKA will fix you up for about 500.00, best money spent

[@erikradzins]

It had lunchbox lockers in the front and rear! ;)

[@brandonfarmer7446]

When you did that kit does it require you to replace drive shafts or does it keep the factory one

[@erikradzins]

Factory! :)

[@raymedina8328]

What size and model tires? And how much were they?

[@roberturban2934]

Eric, very cool ! Would you mind replying with all the parts you used for the lift and tires? I want to do the exact same thing. Thanks !

[@jthomas77]

please correct me if my info is no good but that whole job was a $250 diy???

[@erikradzins]

I paid $250 for the Jeep itself, and turned it into an amazing offroad toy for about $3300 total investment. I ended up selling it for $4500, so made a nice little profit too

[@iranchan155]

What size lift and size tires

[@erikradzins]

31" and it was a 6" long arm kit. WAIT till you see what I bought next... a military 6x6!!!! (subscribe and follow along that build)

[@maxyost7737]

So I'm going to lift my zj and I'm deciding between this lift the 4 in long arm kit or the obs 6 in long arm lift. Its a 500$ price difference.

[@erikradzins]

If I did it again, I wouldn't do the long arm. I would do the biggest lift I could that mounted in the stock location. Hope that helps.

[@maxyost7737]

Erik Radzins what is the reason?

[@erikradzins]

Ground clearance. I don't like the mounting locations on the long arm system. (its below the frame) Where the standard mounts would be tucked up in the factory locations.

[@albertocastro2173]

Size and back space of the rims please?

[@KPike-bd5we]

You should check out BleepinJeep

[@chriscollier9373]

Dude.... ranger!!!!😍

[@erikradzins]

Ya, his did awesome this weekend wheeling..!

[@XSRtiliry420]

[@davidrhelmick72]

Get rid of qudra trac

[@jamesvanderwalle5017]

More Mandy 👍

[@cjmackie7597]

what are those rims, looking for some cheap ones for my car

[@juvenrodriguez856]

good videos bro.. hope u keep them coming. i own a 96, how much cash did u have to put in total?

[@erikradzins]

Juven Rodriguez like $2400 total from start, to hitting rock park

[@redneckindustries]

Where is Part 6??? How did it drive ???

[@jedslather]

It broke 😂

[@stayreadyjustincase9150]

Who else is still waiting for the next part ;-;

[@erikradzins]

Sadly I never did anything with the footage... however been making some new videos on other stuff. Gonna build another 4x4 here SOON!

[@markkapanka4231]

Nice to know that there's people out there that believe a Grand Cherokee is actually a Jeep you can take that both ways which way do you take it

[@Deadslayer12]

the zj is more of a jeep then any other grand cherokee

[@stevenstewart7092]

did u make it to frost bit

[@erikradzins]

I did, had a blast, and broke some stuff. :) time for a trip to the junk yard!!! :) I'll upload a video soooon!

[@JRShoesTech]

[@larrybuckz]

So what inch lift is this

[@erikradzins]

6.5" I believe. Its just the largest one they make thats all I know.

[@KC-lg7tx]

How high was the lift? I think I missed that part

[@adamzwagerman]

4" long arm.

[@eddygoodwin7089]

Holy cow when your girl walked in I did a double take because I thought that was my daughter, they could be twins.

[@colegregory3610]

yo can you re build my 93 jeep zj. It needs some work

[@Starlite123]

My friends and i never had pit bulls but quads and Dodge trucks lol

[@CoastalAutoReactionCAR]

[@erikradzins]

Sadly I sold it. BUT I did shoot enough video for part 6. I just need to get off my butt and do it. :)

[@cheesy_oh2x280]

[@erikradzins]

[@cheesy_oh2x280]

[@erikradzins]

Dude, I wishhhhhhhh lolol! Wouldn't that be awesome!

[@brennenhall1416]

ROCK CHALK

[@anonanon2789]

Your wife was the best part of the video. Why did you suggest her to leave. If she was my wife I would have gave her respect. I have seen her on youtube before. As much as I like jeeps because I own one too. It got boring after you kicked her out.

[@michaelangelos5117]

Well, I paid $1,000 for mine. It's dope.

[@rolandomota8140]

How many inches lift does it have?

[@erikradzins]

It was a 6" long arm kit

[@rolandomota8140]

Erik Radzins cool thank you, nice Jeep! How much does a set up like that run for?

[@briancossey9724]

Monotube shocks I stalled upside down lol

[@AnthonyBarbuto]

Nice

[@janmichaelserawop6518]

wat kind of tires?

[@erikradzins]

ProComp... they worked well on the trail, and they are very quiet on the highway. So I have no "special" way of saying they are the best or not. But those two factors were what I wanted, and they do both. So for me, they work well. :)

[@kotaman232]

Part 6??

[@erikradzins]

Ironically, its coming. :)

[@rudygarcia4161]

Great vids....I really enjoyed watching them....couldn't find part 6 tho....keep jeepn....□|||||||□

[@erikradzins]

It’s labeled “Frostbite”

[@brandontullock6361]

[@dannyantrim3546]

I own a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo as 208000 miles I treated like dogshit cuz the cab is dogshit the interior is all breaking constantly but the engine and transmission will never ever let me down
