CHEAP 4X4 CHALLENGE | (ONE BROKE IMMEDIATELY)

[@matt20132]

If you get random service required notifications on the Jeep info center - it is a common problem with the solder joints ( they used a lead-less solder). Refloat the solder joints on the boards, and it will fix those random service 4WD switch etc. The cracked solder joints can be seen with a magnifying glass on the boards.

[@Kukelinefelter]

Yeah I have the service 4wd switch all the time I’ve got the transmission out right now on the cheap jeep doing a rear main seal I believe it’s actually a wiring issue with the pigtail on the transfer case because when I hit a bump it moves the wire and it goes away but looking into right now actually.

[@ExpeditionRanchTV]

We have way too many projects😂

[@jasonbodi503]

I scored a Comanche a few months ago for $800 locally with only 55k miles. Got it running for $93! In it about $3500 now and LOVE IT

[@ExpeditionRanchTV]

Thats a steal! i bought mine for $700 sitting in a backyard in bakersfield. Turns out the person who sold it to me was not the owner. Major headache but still ended up being a great deal!

[@made-in-Japan-2006]

6:28 The start up sound makes me happy to hear it I love this truck

[@Shotgun_21]

4:36 especially gm, with the s10 platform they had the chevy s10, GMC Sonoma, Isuzu Hombre, then the chevy blazer, GMC jimmy, and Oldsmobile Bravada. so Chevy GMC Isuzu and Oldsmobile were all making the same truck/SUV

[@brianskorey4916]

Good to see some videos. Thanks for explaining what’s going on behind the scenes.

[@brysoncase27]

[@algorithm-w7o]

Thanks much for sharing, I hope you both enjoy your day.

[@aaronscott2278]

Love the cheap truck challenge excited for this series man anymore it’s hard find anything 4x4 for less than 5k lol

[@ExpeditionRanchTV]

Yup. Most of what I saw for “cheap” was still 5k

[@homesteadandhighways]

If this is done by your new editor, bravo! Excellent job 🙌🏻

[@ExpeditionRanchTV]

He did do great job with our poor job filming😂 the GoPro in this video was toasted after the sandblasting

[@teamgordon24]

Gotta love seein others reping a fellow youtuber!! Do it for Dale!! Keep up the great content and hope to see more of your winter adventures in the coming months!! I wish I had spare funds to enter the giveaway, cause that thing looks awesome and would love to go camping and other things with it! Good Luck to those who enter!!

[@Triamgle]

if you go down the 1.9tdi route, find an ALH tdi from an automatic transmission VW, they have bigger injection pumps than the manuals for some reason, and can handle a bit more than a tdi from a manual. your main issue would be buying/making an adapter plate to match the 1.9 to your mazda transmission and clutch.

[@bitten4life78]

Glad i scrolled through to your channel i really enjoy you content and props to helping out a fellow KZbinr u guys make a great combo keeping up the great work guys

I had a Mazda pickup two wheel drive stick and loved it, until I made a U turn in front of a full size Chevy pickup and almost died, don’t like small pickup’s anymore. I also have bought salvage title cars before and always had good luck with them until I had to sell them, barely broke even. I think with the crazy prices of used vehicles these days, I think you guys got a fair deal. James can sell that camper shell and get some of his money back. Great video by the way 👍🏻

[@ExpeditionRanchTV]

I love this little thing but it is tiny! I think the camper shell needs to stay for winter!

[@jbwilcomb]

I had a 1985 then a 1992 Mazda and they were awesome! Miss them both

[@ExpeditionRanchTV]

Awesome little trucks! Already thinking about what a solid axle would look like under it😂 it’s staying stock for awhile!

[@JTwelder.]

Awesome series!

[@MrJerobona]

Those 2 4x4 are really cool! The Jeep is super nice but full of issues!

[@ratherbecatchingthanfishin2731]

no kidding motors are absoluty great but electronics and body and everything else was just subpar

[@dailylife3975]

Cherokee, samurai, sidekick,tracker

[@fixandflipauto]

Ah man! I had the exact same jeep here in South Africa. Same colour and everything! Was a US import

[@drewx420]

I have a alh tdi in my SAS 90 xtra pickup. Its a great swap specially if you put bigger nozzles and turbo on it. I went with head studs and a huge intercooler and push around 35psi. Makes way more power then the 3.0 v6 and i get 32mpg with 33s fully loaded down with 800lbs on the bed

[@aaronscott2278]

Hope see more of this series

[@jreda2000]

I had a mazda 2600 4x4, it was a fun little truck.

[@xxDrLagxx]

My first truck was an 89 B2600i 4x4 and that was an awesome little truck. Wish I never sold it

[@ExpeditionRanchTV]

I’m falling in love with that little truck! It goes everywhere but it slips all over the 2 lane mountain highway in the rain! Very different than the F350

[@LoftisforTreasurer]

Run James Run.

[@ExpeditionRanchTV]

You got it!

[@allenhughes12]

Tonka has a pretty nice line of trucks that would fit Luke. Just kidding. Great video and looking forward to seeing more.

[@ExpeditionRanchTV]

😂

[@keiththeakston3125]

Need an AMC Eagle 🤪

[@andrewmctiernan2381]

The mitsubishi engine in your b2600 has a typical oil leak from the rear cam plug

[@allenflud]

Sub'ed for the support. Best of luck with channel

Tip: if you don’t know if it’s a 14 bolt all you have to do is count the bolts

[@MrJerobona]

Kool friend, driving in a chaise long with no seatbelt...

[@aaronscott2278]

My buddy had a Mazda like that we beat that truck very hard it help up just as well as a older Toyota hands down

[@ExpeditionRanchTV]

It’s such a great little truck. Needs a fan clutch and belt though!

[@topshopbuildandfabricate24]

I have a Tundra 2 wd with 280k miles with body damage and needed a front and rear glass and more for 3500 I am a mechanic and was okay with it too get a Toyota because if taken care of will run well over 500k miles that’s why there so much money

[@DanielPfender]

Those old Toyota truck prices man, everybody wants em now 😭

[@ExpeditionRanchTV]

I know! we are looking around for something really clean (80’s Toyota pickup) for the next giveaway build and it’s 25-30k😭 debating options! Really want to put a 1.9 TDI in it and have a little 25-30mpg overland rig. Ridiculous range for Baja!

[@amandastyles-uh6zx]

A mazda with Isuzu rims😂

[@CihaPet]

OK. You spent more for your truck, but does yours need tires? Which one is going to have more repairs? 😀

[@ExpeditionRanchTV]

Well Luke has his transmission on the floor right now and I need a fan clutch. My tires looked good but after airing down and doing some off-roading they started cracking. So both of us needed new tires😪

[@CihaPet]

@@ExpeditionRanchTV OUCH^2

[@richardcurry366]

You didn't introduce the dog? LoL

[@michaelhoskins832]

Pity you couldn't find a 83 to 85 solid axle Toyota pickup.

[@ExpeditionRanchTV]

Something clean is 15k and the really clean ones/ partially restored is 25-30k

[@michaelhoskins832]

@@ExpeditionRanchTV Ouch. That's expensive.

[@Cat03-22re]

Cheaper to buy 89-95 pickups and just do a sas at that point

[@bestfromnw]

Where you guys at? Oregon?

[@Kukelinefelter]

We’re in a undisclosed location 🤫

[@LoftisforTreasurer]

@@Kukelinefelter And in a super secret, lead lined bunker.

[@bobbymulwee7641]

Hey man it looks like you have Falcon MTS on the truck? So are you still running the factory wheels the 19.5s? If so how did you get them tires on there?

[@Kukelinefelter]

They aren’t falcon mts they were a set of good years that really had some “good years” on them the rims are 19’s I just put Nitto ridge grapplers on them

[@J-0K-ER]

danggg i had a 89 toyota pickup 4x4 5 inch lift on 33s she would go anywhere never got her stuck sold it for 3800 5 years ago same truck nowadays is going for 7k unfortunately mine was a automatic 3.0 v6 with no power but in 4 low it'd crawl by itself

I kinda see it🤷🏽‍♂️

[@JustAverageJeff]

Hoping I can come up with $5,500 for a 99 f350 7.3L 6 speed ZR6 4x4 crew cab would love to get that one or something similar, but kind of hard to come by the people that buy these trucks usually keep them. Currently have a 2019 Ranger 2.3L but it's just too small and can't haul what I want and the extended cab kind of sucks. Waiting for the multiplier to enter the giveaway that camper would be so nice.

[@ExpeditionRanchTV]

Last 10 days before Christmas for the biggest 5x💪🏻 If you find that rig and it’s clean you got a steal!

[@ChristopherLugo-ci8kj]

Is not overpricing toyotas but the best 4x4 in much places around the world are toyota hilux toyota land cruser tacoma old ones 22r here in puerto rico best one and in latinoamerica are cherroke 4.0 std 4x4 tacomas 22r turbo old one swaped etc ,in hawai the tacomas go sky pricing ,they are some bad models but they are good almost all ,whe. I was in the states i use forester 2001 to 2010 and if plus xt model that turbo ,

[@tomm6746]

Why are you driving the Lexus like you’re a gangster 🤡

[@drivenyam]

His might be cheaper, but I would take that Mazda over that Jeep any day.

[@gabriellee786]

Would you be interested in giving a cheap truck to a poor 14 year old boy

[@amandastyles-uh6zx]

Ill take that cool mazda truck over the jeep any day he won😎👍❤️ id just get rid of the izuzu rims they dont look right on it

[@johnnyrocker73]

Bro needs to wear his seatbelt. Just sayin'

[@Kukelinefelter]

Yeah I realized that after the video i usually do just wasn’t thinking that day!

[@MYAMAZINGLIFE3]

That was the weakest 4whell low test ever tf

To test if the gear ratio changed? We already knew the front locked up
