Legend has it, the front end still hasn’t stopped bouncing to this day

[@codygalloway9597]

Hahaha I was legit coming to the comments to say something about the shocks on the front lol

[@fast97z24]

Trevor been hitting the bench 🤣

[@texaspowerman]

The market place builds are more relatable than the expensive giveaway. It’s more fun to watch you build and run something that we all might have in our garages and don’t have the skills, money or time to do what you do. I used to watch Obsessed garage, Matt was giving away Porsche’s. The winners almost all sold the car after a year when the tax came due. My favorite Adam LZ videos are when he does something to his moms or dad’s cars without them knowing about it. 3 or 4 giveaways a years may be all that will keep people’s attention.

[@motov8-garage832]

That's one thing i love about this channel, the variety of automotive content👍

[@gregphillips1998]

My father had 1993 Jeep Cherokee sport 2Dr model. He passed away in 2012 and the Jeep sat at our hunting camp for 10yrs before my son and I decided to start using it. The fuel tank and pump were so rotted that I had to replace both. Then the fuel pressure regulator was leaking and had to replace that and then the fuel line. The pressure regulator about half the size of a ping pong ball was $100 alone. All in all, after replacing a lot of rubber and ignition parts, it runs good. After sitting that long you might as well go through it with a fine tooth comb so you don’t get stranded. The thing with any Jeep is that you can really go down a rabbit hole with mods. It’s a lot of fun and so far, reliable. Good luck and enjoy.

[@Hardlines_FullsendRc]

Common issues are TPS sensors, crank position sensor on the Xj. Also check the unibody around the steering box for cracks,very common problem with lifted,neglected Xj's. The cluster probably just needs to be pushed back in as well,take trim off and make sure the screws holding it in are there,very easy fix.

[@ThePants2012]

Also wiring issues. Green death in the connectors. My buddies last xj, first he lost his tail lights, then stuff in the dash started getting wierd, and then it wouldn't run anymore. Turns out the bulk head connector was all corroded with the green death.

[@connerpagano2839]

He not wrong crank shaft position sensor I had it do the same thing

[@brandonrobb6979]

Have fun with this one Trevor will be awesome to see this project move along

[@saabdriver2008]

Very stoked. Use to watch you and Jimmy and rudnik and stuff when I was into imports, but then I got into Jeeps and stopped watching. Welcome to the club.

[@danielcgomez]

I'd lay on the ground under it and hit the fuel tank with a heavy piece of wood. Brushes in the Pump are probably unhappy. Nice find Trev!

[@SteveTheBeardedWonder]

Love the Marketplace find videos. This was cool. Definitely a solid deal for what you got.

[@Just_In_credible6]

I am posting this on your comment so hopefully trevor will see it. Those engines are very reliable. It would be awesome to see if it can handle a small turbo for a little extra power when climbing hills.

[@douglaslila9825]

That jeep looks like the jeep I built for my wife. We only had a 3" BDS lift on it and she chose the the rims and tires she wanted-American racing aluminum polished with 30's and BFG's and a Magnaflow exhaust. Same color and interior too.

[@nicderemer1]

For the guage cluster, sometimes the connection behind it gets corrosion or wiggles loose. You gotta take the dash off and disconnect it and spray some terminal cleaner in there.

[@n84434]

She's a keeper!

[@karnesmotorsports]

I had an 87 2 door XJ. I had it all snorkeled up, took it through my buddies mud hole, had water halfway up the windshield. A couple days later it would do the same thing as yours, run down the road and quit. Give it 20mins and it would start right up. When I took it swimming it got a bunch of muddy water in through the gas tank vent. The mud/silt would plug the filter sock, after it sat for a bit it would unplug the sock and start right back up.

[@e36_swangin83]

The drifting content on this channel is non existent anymore and that’s why I subbed

^^^ Video from 2 weeks ago

[@codygalloway9597]

Trevor im assuming once this thing is running we wont see much else of it but please give up a few offroad videos please i live for it and live in a place i kind ride anymore so seeing the beautiful terrain and riding i would honestly love to see

[@beefster1882]

LOVE THAT YOU DIDNT SCUM THE GUY. OFFERED MORE, SAID IM BRINGING A TRAILER RN AND YOU DID. GOOD FUCKING SHIT ON YOU JUST FOR THAT TREVV

[@beefster1882]

This style of video is dope aswell, only made it through 6 mins of it lol

[@durfmann12345]

I think it’s a good idea to sometimes do giveaways other than cars like you’re doing this month, let’s go!

[@fast97z24]

Dang, I'm in. Never watched a jeep build before. I enjoyed watching you fix all the stuff. Keep doing that!

[@BigKeke]

My Ek used to do that weird cluster shit and a smack always fixed it as well 😂 damn 90’s electronics

[@somerandoonline5852]

Honestly, you and charles messing around with this jeep was a pretty fun video.

[@Mitchell_03]

Nice, I have the older body style XJ and I love it! You won’t be disappointed!

[@Just_In_credible6]

If I lived in colorado I would have to have a jeep like that. They are so good off road.

[@kiker1525]

Check the crank position sensor if you loose spark its the crank position if it turns over but fails to start

[@ReaperLSX]

That is a sweet deal for that jeep Trevor, only if Rudnik still had his jeep so you both could of made some amazing content

[@TheLaw1]

I would like to see more of this. I'm in the same boat and you gave me the perfect business case: Windows & A/C (maybe)

[@northernlandsgaming3268]

I just picked up a stock 91 sport at auction for $319.51, runs and drives.

[@brettkienle]

Build it, something to have fun with your family

[@luckysmogcheck7508]

Yes more content with the jeep but like next video not later. Get it running and some trail rides with the fam bam, nice little bbq up in the trails and have it have some kind of ending not just shove it off to a corner. But if its been sitting that long i would have dropped the tank to take a look and replace the pump without trying to start it first. Ive messed up quit a few engines with bad gas......

[@sniper_shot]

Cool find. Excited for the videos on this thing!

[@onholliday5816]

Yeah it's a jeep thing with the cluster. I have a 98 tj and the cluster plugs work themselves loose. Gotta give it the smack every now and again.

[@mvirocKoRn]

Stoked for more xj content.

[@InnerCityGarage]

Shaking the truck till the hood fell. I think Trev has a little rudnik energy leftover still 🤣 also that look at14:49 when you're friends start questioning your sanity and you just want to do jeep sh*t. They don't understand me and my rubber ducks. 🦆

[@jonathonshankle8364]

Yes!!! More jeep content

[@twodogsyyc6729]

Aw man luv the XJ and that 4.0L 6 is bulletproof and can make some decent power for what it is. Looks like you got a smoking deal

[@ncron1109]

Go with the Rubicon express shocks and steering stabilizer you won't regret it!

[@stonistjean2kfallout285]

More Jeep content plz

[@lsxdenali69]

Good ol tdi putting in work

[@benjaminbills1998]

pull the cluster and clean it. these things get dusty behind the dash

[@karlthompson9730]

Great buy this def a trevvy custom spray it with bed liner like the van a few bucks have some fun get content then when you board flip it think that the buisness model you need to get back to that what you done with the black evo i calk it the stealth evo great as normal

[@Evojordan]

Tcase support was missing?

[@mikesilva9196]

Love it I have a 94 xj myself

[@brycerobbins875]

Trevvy should take the 1.9t and throw it in the xj, they have been done and they are pretty tots

[@sprrepair4063]

When the listing says grand Cherokee instead of Cherokee you know it’s gonna be good!

[@clitzcustom66420]

Cam and crank sensors are always a pain with these as well

[@nickclay4730]

100% replace the crank sensor with an oem one right away. Always causes problems

[@shaneanning180sx]

Yeah sick would be cool seeing a jeep work right we know u will sort it out

[@dmbworks8094]

MotionAuto Restoration Adventures

[@gamerghostghost6303]

Hey nice xj man by any chance does any one know how to put aftermarket seats on a xj what would I need I know it’s a dumb question but my seat is broken and hurts my back and looking to get some racing seats or try to fit in some seats from another car?

[@bradthacker9904]

Sooo just wondering, 😮turbo xj incoming? Could do a budget throw together turbo kit. Alot of people use an hx 35 off like a 12 valve.

[@POTHOLESURFERS]

It’s probably the ignition coil once they get hot they get hot and stop working

[@POTHOLESURFERS]

Gauge cluster could be related to cam position sensor as well

[@JuanCruz-hd4ls]

I guess it’s a Jeep thing 😂

[@jamessuman2151]

I may be crazy, but I'd also own an XJ. Keen for progress

[@CedarAshCanvas]

bad or failing ground to fuel pump?

[@joewontwice]

What jump box is that

[@tessierrr]

its pre 2000, a good slap always works on that stuff 😂

[@LJ_Jeff]

Jeep ownership requires a surplus of duct tape(or gorilla if you can afford it), black zip ties, colored zip ties for wiring, and 1" ratchet straps. Don't use white zip ties though, they don't hold up as well. They're for temporary use only.

[@Vip_Gzus88]

i wouldn't be made if this would be the star of the show from now on AHAH might motivate me to work on mine :P Lmao great Purchase !

[@user-ds1nb9sg6n]

Nice buy...

[@GF_Burke]

ha. Gages... just push on the dash ;) while bake there fixing it.... tear out that dumb beeper and put in LEDs.

[@J4rn0]

Hahahaha, this car saves me money,... from buying some thing more expensive... gonna use that to convince my wife some day.

[@drstreetcar9740]

BUILD THE GREEN CAR! Rotary swap, 4200 swap, 2jz swap!? Something please!

[@HazrdHazrd]

Definitely the CPS

[@Yooitschris]

Wow we fixed some suv

[@david929190]

Now you and Dave can go out crawling together

[@jeepinscott8495]

You got a steal man 😂 I was one of those 100 people

[@Yooitschris]

Fuck yeah the windows

[@fullyotto31]

Maybe this should get the tdi jetta swap.

[@evanbrackebush6855]

Wait until you find out about the jeep death wobble hahaha

[@matwilliams3299]

Tdi swap jeep incoming lol come on Trev do it

[@robertoswald2321]

That battery sticker is when it was sold not when it expires

[@wilahinely]

The front end falling out is a jeep thing. Carry on until it explodes.

[@El_Sancho97]

Dope 😮

[@jgutie4377]

I miss my xj

[@jeraldhite9744]

Jeep stuff cool!!

[@2exiw]

Buy a vacuum pump. And the jeep is way better than a razor 😊

[@maxst2]

Drop the tank and clean it out... if its been sitting for 10 years its got ethanol sludge and crap in it.

[@BuyingTickets]

Yeeee

[@bohica2night]

Swap the TDI into the jeep

[@harrypatt7708]

Time for Ruddy to buy a another jeep, but this time n xj. Ricer miata vs motionauto jeep build off

[@mikeyacullo]

Such a great deal

[@The_Samsquantch]

You're missing the TCase Crossmember which is why it's all cock-eyed down there. Overall not a bad find but that XJ definitely needs work. Those axles alone are worth what you paid for it.

[@aaronpineau3760]

J-ust E-mpty E-very P-ocket

[@justinbarhorst]

Now you and LZ can talk 9inches

[@876truckspotters6]

spray it like to look like the 240 or the supra

[@seanhenderson2079]

Definitely has a cracked exhaust manifold.

[@mikeyacullo]

Looks bouncy ahaa

[@ELLeeOh]

👍👍from this guy

[@chrisbadman2079]

My jeep used to act the same way, and I had to put a computer in it

[@Yooitschris]

But most of us like fast cars and fast cars drifting fast

[@Daniel-nf6cj]

Typical marketplace car, runs great just needs a battery 😂😂😂

[@LongboardingUno]

I see what’s going on here … tdi swapped Jeep coming

[@tankdog03ify]

[@turnwrenchesjr3352]

Jeep content will be cool, but please finish the wagon and civic first.

[@bcarey502]

TDI swap the jeep.

[@davidankrom1984]

Craigslist trevy time

[@Yooitschris]

Your niche is real automotive builders sorry it's a small crowd

[@johnsnow1355]

[@jasonsullivan324]

[@parsidhu9261]
