96 Jeep ZJ Walkaround

[@Spruce-Bug]

I'm glad to see you're running the D30 and D35, all my buddies were saying they were gonna snap and bend but honestly i've had no issues and I make sure the diff has clean fluid and the seals don't leak mud and dirt into the diff. Swapping my D30 out with a high pinon from a 94 XJ. Awesome video.

[@banzaiib]

yeah, there's a lot of basement builders that like to comment on what you need. Chromoly axles on a d30 / d35 is plenty for the relatively light zj

[@randomgreatness2489]

Awesome ZJ ! Nice mods. 👍

[@4WDAdventureCrew]

Thanks 👍

[@GustavoLopez-px4ok]

Cool foundation for a 4x4. Hope to see the mods you will be doing to it !

[@4WDAdventureCrew]

That's the plan!

[@MrManJoseph]

[@4-WHEEL-DRIVE]

[@koohout]

Veery nice Machine ZJ !

[@4WDAdventureCrew]

Thanks 👍

Love the ZJ w/6.5" lift on 35s. Awesome! Enjoy the trails buddy. I would like it if you did a slower, more complete walkaround sometime, when you get the chance. Maybe better lighting with shots of undercarriage and an engine and drivetrain rundown? Can you do a short video of the rear bumper with close ups of the tire carrier pivot point. It looks to me, like a zj front wheel bearing mounted intelligently somehow? You said the rear bumper was a custom build so I cant ask where you bought it. I would like a slow close up of all angles of the hinge and lock and pin and the arm that locks it in the closed position. Thanks in advance.

[@4WDAdventureCrew]

well Soon that Jeep is going For Sale, we will do one more video on it before we Sell it.

[@sjc1778]

i would also love how or what that pivot is made from!

[@bombdiggitydave3881]

@@sjc1778 that is a wheel bearing set upright. Axle has been cutoff and welded to bumper, then an arm fabricated to hold wheel and tire. Add a pin and drill a hole to secure and in a evening or 3 of head scatching and gluing metal and that spare tire arm can be remade. Hope my answers made better sense of how the pivot was made according to my observation.

[@4WDAdventureCrew]

Pivot is Axle shaft and Hub from trailer store

[@bombdiggitydave3881]

@@4WDAdventureCrew i meant hub bearing, my apology. But I nailed how it was fabricated for the most part. Thanks for clarifying.

[@Shane7son]

Hey brother love your video it’s awesome. It’ll be really cool if you make another video anytime soon.

[@truckerguy28]

I would like to know more about the hood vents thats different.

[@4WDAdventureCrew]

Hood Vents are Special 3 Different Hole saws was used to create that Look LoL

[@truckerguy28]

Rain water doesnt harm anything?

[@4WDAdventureCrew]

No problems been noticed in rain or deep water splashes, so I guess it’s works good

[@truckerguy28]

Whats the underside of the hood look like? Like around the inner skeleton or supports

[@4WDAdventureCrew]

Mostly stock, air box is swapped with secondary battery

[@newlion7013]

Which ox locker do you have in the rear?

[@4WDAdventureCrew]

Dana 35 OX locker with Air Actuator

[@imhann98]

What brand are those sweet aftermarket tail lights? I’ve been trying to find some good looking LED powered tail lights for my zj forever but haven’t had any luck. Great vid!

[@samthedude22]

They can be found on EBay and Amazon, search for rear tail light for 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee

[@adamharris6776]

I got a 96 ZJ as well and tbh the stock headlights aren’t that great either

[@MobTyz]

I got the spec d halos on mine and they work great

[@daltonaustin2108]

Where did you find a D35 truss?

[@4WDAdventureCrew]

it was on in the Jeep

[@amarhrustanbegovic1309]

Where did you get that front bumper?

[@4WDAdventureCrew]

Came with the Jeep

[@SdotShanne]

@@4WDAdventureCrew Any details on the kind or do you have any idea where to find one? I feel like I've looked everywhere.

[@MrMrsregor]

any cooling issues with the winch blocking so much of the radiator ?

[@4WDAdventureCrew]

Well in summer all of our Jeeps run Hot, but winch blocking radiator is not best place, but Jeep not running any hotter then XJs with no winch in front. If that helps

[@MrMrsregor]

@@4WDAdventureCrew yep, kind of what I was thinking.. I have a few xjs, a tj, and a zj. The zj is new to me amd I got it for an overlander since it’s got the 5.2 v8. My tj and xj is built for off-road so I made custom bumpers and relocated the winch control boxes to help with air flow. Thanks for the videos and response!

[@stn7172]

Did you have to modify the front drive shaft?

[@4WDAdventureCrew]

No it’s stock

[@dougkooistra6265]

What brand rock sliders?

[@4WDAdventureCrew]

no idea no brand name on them

[@atlsniper45]

[@samthedude22]

Steal 15” rims, search google for them, They are very common

[@gregorynorton9335]

Wats the lift

[@4WDAdventureCrew]

Rustys 6.5

[@gregorynorton9335]

Do get the death wobble

[@4WDAdventureCrew]

@@gregorynorton9335 nope, long as your steering and Track bar are set up right you wont, we drive our Jeeps above speed limits sometimes going down hill with no problems of wobble

[@gregorynorton9335]

I got a lil play in the track bar
