Did we push it to far. Built WJ vs Built ZJ Part two

Built WJ and Built ZJ take on a local mountain. Did we push to hard. find out in this episode.

[@Catboy-hr2qp]

The section of the video of them trying to get up the hill is a perfect example of why you do lockers before lift and tires, a stock and locked rig would have had very little trouble on that hill with smart line choice it looks like

[@mikenewbery1235]

The ZJ had a front locker but kept blowing axles so we are waiting to build it better just wanted to get threw a trip with no problems. The WJ has a Dana 44 waiting for the front with a locker just piecing everything together.

[@Catboy-hr2qp]

@@mikenewbery1235 so the zj had a front locker in video? Didn't look like it, and i assumed the wj had variloks since I could hear it wining

[@mikenewbery1235]

Sorry no the ZJ did but we took it out because we kept blowing axles. My WJ had the varilock but I blew the rear diff awhile ago and could only find an open diff for sale but I plan on a locker in the rear soon anyways. The front diff was bent so I had a parts jeep with a open diff as well so just put it in for now to keep rolling. The WJ is the overland even tho I don't have the sliders on right now. I hit a tree awhile ago and changed the doors that's why it says limited lol

[@phennig2003]

Love your channel and videos.

[@chrisedmonds8810]

I just found your channel and I like it. Your slice of heaven looks a lot like mine I live in northern Idaho. I am just starting the build on my 98 zj I saw yours and it inspired me.

[@extremeoverlanding]

Awesome thanks I appreciate the support. I'm a big fan of the zjs.

[@skeeznutts4587]

I’m from idaho also starting to build my 04 Cherokee

[@philgriswold2133]

Nice two-part and a great day of wheeling. Y'all both pulled rope at just the right time, right before you tore something up. BC is great wheeling country and you have some nice rigs. New sub and fellow WJ owner.

[@extremeoverlanding]

Thanks. Appreciate the positive response and support 👍🤟

[@OverlandGeneration]

I love the ZJ! 94 and 96 here.

[@OverlandGeneration]

with open diffs you gotta place both traction boards under the same axle...

[@FloridaOverland]

Wow, I have a 2004 WJ 4.7 as well... I really enjoy my WJ...but I don't see myself doing these trails... LOL.

[@jvida405]

awesome video and vehicles

[@turbolq4]

That was hard to watch. Trying to throttle through when it's obvious that it's not going anywhere. Good way to break parts and tear everything up. Air those tires down, get lockers, and go easy on the loud pedal.

[@extremeoverlanding]

Ahhh ok. Thanks for the advice

[@tinaalonzo7319]

I beg to differ. Mash that skinny pedal and gtfo there

[@liberty_overlander]

great vids!

[@BobCummins]

I have a WJ and a WK but I sure like the looks of that ZJ.

[@extremeoverlanding]

Put a lot of work into the zj

[@The97hondacivic]

Alright this WJ sounds badass lol what exhaust system is on it ? ZJ sounds awesome too, pointing out the wj cuz I have one 🤙🏽😎 Loving the videos bro 😎😎

[@extremeoverlanding]

Thanks man. Wj is running a magnaflow muffler zj is running a straight pipe with a magnaflow glasspack

[@The97hondacivic]

All cats are still in place ? Mine gas all 3 cats and a flowmaster sounds nothing like that lol🤔 i was thinking deleting the muffler and 3rd cat

[@extremeoverlanding]

3rd cat has been deleted but still has front 2. It also is the H.O motor not sure if that changes the sound a bit

[@elvispresley1650]

A stock, non-lifted Subaru Outback could have done the same route no problem.

[@matthew7972]

Nobody asked

[@ManuelOrtiz-l4i]

zj, power

[@tkooffroad03]

nice!

[@hastyfoot7220]

What exhaust is on the red one I love it

[@extremeoverlanding]

Just a magnaflow muffler

[@mikemuniz9374]

BadAzz videos. Question which i believe i already know the answer to. Did you guys disconnect your rear sway bars for the vehicles?

[@extremeoverlanding]

Neither jeep has a rear sway bar. The rough country long arm kit doesn't use them. The WJ runs good with out it the ZJ sways a little more then I like but not to bad.

[@alexanderbarrera9140]

Can't believe that Trudeau guy hasn't banned jeeps over there in Canada.

[@extremeoverlanding]

Don't give him any ideas lol

Some older Forest service roads in the west Kootenays are being decommisioned based on the opinion of a single regional director with no public notice, review, oversight or recourse. Shits gonna get real, sooner than later...

[@themechanic4409]

How good are those winch mounts?

[@extremeoverlanding]

Never had an issue with them. There going on 3 years now. I like the rough country mounts and brackets just not a fan of there shocks and springs.

[@azoffroadclub]

I have a Zj 96 if you used in 4low tires 15-20 psi , Zj is strong Also with open diff.. where is at ?

[@BrandanZmaster]

Hello! Enjoyed this video quite a bit! I'm building a 93 ZJ right now. Im also new to the off road scene! I would very much like to know what front bumper winch you have and where I can find one myself. Hoping I can make a awesome adventure rig and hit some trails myself because this looked very fun.

[@extremeoverlanding]

Hey sorry for late reply. Ordered the winch from Amazon and got the winch plate from rough country.

[@thomasj5722]

What model had the most reliable v8, the ZJ or the WJ's?

[@flex102599]

What are the WJ specs? It looks like you barely trimmed the bumper

[@mikenewbery1235]

Its a 6.5in lift on long arms. I'm running 35in tires. I didn't trim the bumper to much probably less then an inch. When I built it I was trying to not trim at all I like to keep it as stock looking as I can well besides the lift lol

[@flex102599]

That’s the best lift to tire size ratio I’ve seen thus far. I dig it, that’s how I want my Jeep to sit. What brand lift did you go with?

[@williamfawkes8379]

You guys are making me really miss my diesel Grand Cherokee. I had a bad run of things for a while and had sell it.

[@mikenewbery1235]

@@flex102599 it was a rough country but I have swapped out every part now besides the actual arms. It has iron rock spring's, Currie joints and BDS shocks also JKS sway bar disconnects.

[@flex102599]

@@mikenewbery1235 Yee I like the build your own idea. I want fox shocks and a plethora of front end hd parts. I like the videos man keep ‘em comin!
