Building a Jeep Cherokee XJ in 10 Minutes!

[@lowellstokes5328]

I’ve done much the same with my ‘98 zj, it’s a pretty rewarding process because they respond so well to repairs and proper maintenance. Nice video.

[@KCars]

Very true, these things are very reliable as long as you keep up with maintenance and repairs

[@firebrand07]

Good job! It’s all about staying ahead on maintenance and repairs. These are tough Jeeps.

[@KCars]

Very true, thanks!

[@pnwnative7747]

Got a 2000 xj with 198k couple days ago same color as yours. Keep up the good work!

[@KCars]

My favorite color on these jeeps, thanks!

[@jayadams8859]

Watching this video really makes me miss mine

[@KCars]

What’s stopping you from getting another???

[@michelantoniomorin2201]

Last year of production for the Xj very Cool

[@KCars]

Thanks!

[@weissblitz88]

Awesome job brother! 👏 I got a white 98 on 6" lift and 35x12.50x15 I call it snowball 😆

[@KCars]

Awesome, I bet it’s a lot of fun to drive. Thanks for watching!

[@0tterthekulakking620]

Love it! Boutta do a d35 to C8.25 upgrade before the snows come!

[@KCars]

Thanks! No complaints with my C8.25

[@Trazor2k0]

Hell yah bro sweet video, I recently bought an 2001 Cherokee XJ with 250k. I've been following the order you pretty much have laid out, I need to do tranny oil next. Just did a coolant flush, you should make a video talking about the order of restoration on an older XJ with high mileage! I'd appreciate it man

[@KCars]

Thanks for watching! I don’t think I’d change much for what i’d do to an older Jeep with higher mileage.

[@FreeznOffRoad]

Very nice!

[@KCars]

Thanks!

[@maninthevan53]

nice job

[@KCars]

Thanks

[@hotchocolate9887]

After all the service befor the wheel mods ... what was your mpg ?

[@KCars]

I never measured it, not sure

[@onesweetxj]

Love it . Awesome work

[@KCars]

Thanks!

[@Fusterclucked00]

I wish I could buy a sexy blue 2001 XJ with only 103k miles on it in my area for $4,000. Anything that price is going to be a parts car or a "needs repairs" at best. I just had to settle for a 2000 XJ Sport with 185k for $6,500, which was $500 under asking price. But it's what I wanted when I wanted it...

[@KCars]

I got super lucky with this one and I think the previous owners didn’t realize the true value and I also bought it right before the prices went crazy back in 2020. At least you got one though, enjoy it!

[@hazlgreen]

Do you remember where you bought the new moldings for the sides of the XJ? The matte black plastic trim pieces? Would appreciate it. Thanks.

[@KCars]

Carparts.com is where I ordered them from and here is my install tutorial if you’re interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWHXfHmwdpxrfNk

[@hazlgreen]

@@KCars thanks! Very much appreciated. My ‘99 will look even better soon.

[@KCars]

Happy to help! They definitely make it stand out a lot more now

[@mindorios]

What's the size of the tires? They rub? Your XJ and mine are practically twins.

[@KCars]

31x10.50 we had to trim the end caps a little bit in the front and they still rub the mud flaps a little when turning

[@ZenithClarity]

Its all about preservation . Keep her nice. These are disappearing by the day.

[@KCars]

That’s the goal, thanks for watching!

[@gwnfishing9281]

What size of lift did you install?

[@KCars]

3 inch

[@kneeknockers1712]

@@KCars what brand?

[@KCars]

Rusty’s

[@hobble_dehoy]

I want to get the rustys kit but shipping is 200 dollars to arkansas😂

[@KCars]

Ya I’ve heard they can be pretty rough with shipping. Have you tried to order it through a shop that’s a Rusty’s dealer? That’s what I did and they should usually have a better price

[@hotroddinlogan1043]

what kind of trans cooler lines did you buy? can I possibly get a link?

[@KCars]

I didn’t do anything with the trans cooler, they’re stock

[@hotroddinlogan1043]

@@KCars 3:30 then were those fuel lines, brake lines?

[@KCars]

That was the fuel vapor tube that runs from the evap canister to the gas tank area. Here’s a link for the full video on that if you wanna check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nX_aYYyqpNSMnqM

[@texture6]

Do you have a link to the led turn signal light and brake lights….thanks.

[@KCars]

They’re from onewaylight.com

[@texture6]

Thank you

[@KCars]

No problem

[@tytraulich4987]

All the ones in the Midwest are rusted through The bucket seats are horrible for your hips. 5 minutes of sitting in these things and I can’t do the splits the same day without stretching an hour

[@KCars]

Ya a lot of them are pretty rusted out unfortunately, getting hard to find clean ones. Have you thought about changing out the seats if they are uncomfortable for you?

[@jeepman1467]

Nice Jeep but could do without the annoying music.

[@KCars]

Appreciate it, just experimenting with different styles of videos

[@sticrzy123]

How’s she doing

[@KCars]

Amazing

[@Noah-nb5mk]

I have a door 2 I’m re doing right now

[@KCars]

Sweet! What are your plans with it?

[@hhhhhhhhi-]

Nice video. May i invite u to review a halo headlight on ur fantastic Jeep XJ?

[@KCars]

Thanks! Which headlight specifically?

[@hhhhhhhhi-]

@@KCars May i send an Email to u?

[@Little.T.]

I just paid another $2500 for mine to get head sent to shop to be re-pressurized and other crap 😂

[@KCars]

Always a project with these things
