7slots Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ Build Breakdown

[@johnostrum6953]

Best build breakdown I’ve watched yet. You the man

[@StewCrew72]

Got the same exact Jeep, I’ve upgraded the tiers and lift but this video definitely game me some more ideas, thanks 👍!

[@willem0698]

Awesome ZJ! Saw it on Revkit this morning!!

[@7slotslifestyle]

thanks! i appreciate you coming to check it out!👊

[@4Runner_Fanatic]

Awesome build! Simple, clean, and purpose built! Can't beat that.

[@LuisQuezada-ts7zy]

Nice jeep man. Got the black limited 5.2 1994 addition my self .love that truck 💯

[@TheWolfsnack]

Love my 93 "Zed" J.....I even lucked out and found a 94 for parts that had hit a deer. Almost 400k km and still runs like new....well, after swapping out the tranny, transfer case and a rebuilt rear diff.......but compare that to the price of a less capable new one. The next plan for this Summer is cutting out the rotting rocker panels and building rock sliders for her.

[@Anonymous-wu4rw]

Hey Denis, about the ZJ how many miles did your jeep have before the transmission went out? I have my eye on a Zj with 190k miles on it. Any words of advice? thanks

[@jesus-go7us]

beautiful jeep man

[@Alpha-ms9nj]

Very nice work you've done on it. I have a 94 ZJ with the 5.2, same color. Purchased for 300.00. Had a case of death wobble and needs alot of work. I have added new BJs, control arms, track bar tie rods, sway bar end links, water pump, Crank sensor, distributor, intake gaskets, rear axle bearings seals front and rear brakes. 4 new tires and misc. little chit here and there. Still needs a rear ring and pinion and bearing rebuild, transfer case swap, and front DS and plans are to strip the paint and rattle can it. I want to raise it but only 2" as it's starting to become cost prohibitive to go higher. It's been a nice project and kept me busy. Would love to see your work on the TC swap, I'm going with a 242 if I can find one. Yours is a great looking truck, congrats.

Nice ZJ!

[@sharonsatterwhite1180]

Man, I wish my old '93 ZJ looked as nice as yours's! I'm just trying to get to work on a Forest Service road! LOL

[@paulsullivan3549]

Sweet build. I just bought a '98Grand Cherokee Limited. Enthusiasts like yourself sold me on it being the right choice. 204K 2000$ Neighbors carOlder couple,never off-road. Not sure what direction I'm going to go with it yet,but I like what you did! Very nice. Per the heat issues and the trans/engine radiator cooling,can fans installed to the hood venting pull heat off the engine and likewise puting the air plenum outside the engine compartment,either in a snorkel or exterior air induction? I've seen both. I lived in Arizona and I know heat is the number one challenge. Soon as I have the chance I'm going down to visit family and would like to do some trails. Probably go to Fossil Creek. Thanks for the video. I'm going subscribe and follow.

Awesome build!

Thanks!👊

Hermosa ZJ

[@bombdiggitydave3881]

Nicely done ZJ. Thanks for the walk and talk. Question? What thickness of 4.5x5 to 5 on 5 adapters did you go with in order to use you TJ wheels.? What is the backspacing on those wheels, are they 6"? I have some 18x7.5 with 6 inchex of backspacing and trying to figure out what size adapter to mod to fit onto a 1995 ZJ? I dont think 1.5 inch adapters will be enough. I am think 2.5 to 3 inch spidertraxx or Bora? Any input would be really appreciated. Cant wait to see more of your build...Have a blast and keep on 4wheelin.

[@foch3]

My 95 Grand Cherokee has 8 slots, how you like them apples. 8slots4life dawg!

[@AJpro88]

looks clean af. subbed

[@kruelzombieful]

Jeep had an updated fan for replacing the crapy one that came with the V8. It's a composite fan and its an 11 blade. The V8 models had issues over heating because fan wouldn't pull enough air. Composite fan upgrade p/n 52079654AE.

[@andresdelgadillo7726]

Nice!!! What length do you have the ACOS spring spacer set up at????

[@jasonc3894]

Can you share some details on how you mounted the SS3's in a pair like that? Are you running a relay for the wiring? Did you have to fab some mounts?

[@stidhamhimer]

How does it drive compared to when it was stock?

[@deezneezy412]

Look clean

[@TheYellowDart2]

Looks great already. Did this one come with the trans cooler?

[@7slotslifestyle]

Thanks! And it just has the one built into the radiator, for whatever reason for 98 Jeep decided to delete the external cooler on the Tow Package

[@kenskens69]

nice , where in buckeye is that need to go and try my ZJ

[@7slotslifestyle]

East Buckeye Hills

[@VenturaIT]

Nice, I like how you didn't cut it up... How does it articulate without cutting the fenders?

[@VenturaIT]

Looks like the rear axle could even go back another 1" but I don't know if that will hit your gas tank?

[@joer8064]

Did you upgrade the front drive shaft? I'm running stock drive shaft with 4 inch lift on my 98 5.9 and got noise and slight vibe up front. I purchased a t-case drop but haven't installed it yet.

[@7slotslifestyle]

It's still the factory double Cardin front driveshaft with a tCase drop with no issues. With the long arm I was able to dial in the caster to get the driveshaft alignment better

[@joer8064]

@@7slotslifestyle perfect, hopefully mine does well after I install the tcase drop. Thanks for the reply 👍 much appreciated

[@7slotslifestyle]

@@joer8064 no problem👍

[@datkuntryboi3852]

Nice ZJ!👌🏾 Where would you recommend ordering a PCM from for my "98" ZJ?

[@blakeskullerud4915]

Very cool. Are your rear control arms on upside down? I have a 97 zj with a 4.0. Currently in the process of fitting 37 wheels on it.

[@7slotslifestyle]

No they are not, that is how the instructions direct them to be installed. If they were installed upside down, they would be a major ground clearance issue.

[@blakeskullerud4915]

@@7slotslifestyle Ahh, thanks. For some reason I thought they looked strange but they have excellent clearance. Those are nice. Great rig.

[@exhaustfumes927]

Really well put together build . Mine qualifies as a shitbox

[@7slotslifestyle]

well thank you!

[@tycollins-cl3ir]

​@@7slotslifestylewhat brand adapters are you on and size, I ran 1.25 spider Trax before

[@aaronhall1984]

What transmission do you have and what all do you have to do to change the tcase to the 241?

[@7slotslifestyle]

44re... can't find where its been done before but everything I've read it has the same output shaft spline and length as the TJ Rubicon.. i definitely know i will have to address the TC linkage and get a double cardan rear drive shaft made up

[@aaronhall1984]

Fml lol I was thinking about putting a 2410r on a 46re but I haven't been able to find enough information yet.

[@7slotslifestyle]

This site has a pretty inclusive table of Jeep TC data... www.drivetrain.com/parts-catalog/transfer-case-replacements-and-parts/jeep-transfer-case-rebuilt

[@MrSrtman18]

Is it for sale.

[@perlindqvist3003]

Nice👍

[@ShermanAviation]

Future upgrades are to include making it able to actually do what it looks like it can......

[@Chevy_Guy]

How did you mount the fog lights?

[@7slotslifestyle]

I made brackets that tied into the factory fog light mounting location

[@h2owaffleshop809]

How much flex in the rear dose it have

[@МуслимКобзон-ъ7ж]
