All u need to fix a car is three things 1) zip ties 2) WD40 3) duct tape

[@aka_king1001]

So for everyone with doubts or anything as far as questions im Lucas. And this company did more for me behind the scenes. After i got the jeep i had it for about a week when i was in a car accident. Unfortunately totaling the jeep but this company kept on doing they donated money to my gofundme to help get Norma back on the road. And thats not money that was paid by make a wish that is money from their company they have done more then I could ask for

[@chasemerchant1720]

Phantom Rebellion so you totaled it? Figures, they did nothing mechanical at all.

[@aka_king1001]

Chase Merchant they did what i asked them to it was my wish I wanted my jeep built up I pretty much chose everything that they did even picked the paint and what the video does not show is the complete brake system they replaced i used to have drums in the back i have drilled and slotted rotors all the way around now. So they did a rear disc conversation which isn’t cheap all in itself But even if not much mechanical work was done what does it matter they did what i asked of them i like working with my hands i was going to do norma on my own but then i got my make a wish so thats what i did had them do it and i can rebuild the motor on my own and it was totaled because i got hit by another person that was speeding it had nothing to do with anything they did or didn’t do.

[@Leo-lr4eq]

Wait, so your jeep is back on the road right? How is it?

[@aka_king1001]

Leo no it isn’t but i am in the process of fixing it just a few other things I need and then get it inspected and it will be fine

[@Leo-lr4eq]

Phantom Rebellion Ok. Sounds awesome!

[@kovideos9949]

As an owner of a ZJ as well, I can tell you that if it isn't leaking fluid you can assume it is empty.

[@TheCarExp]

The accuracy is real

[@brandonr.5318]

Mine isn’t leaking oil and it stays full 🙏🏼🤷🏼‍♂️

[@border8204]

KO Videos that's how you check fluids in a jeep. Puddle, puddle, puddle, lets go.

[@terryrothgeb1684]

I hate to be 'that guy' but i lucked out.. mine was garaged i guess, 160k mi, its rust free, no leaks, but it does have a low idle issue.. bone stock, its going to be apart of my family for a lonngg time. 4.5 lift with a rooftop tent to come.

[@border8204]

Terry Rothgeb I am happy to hear yours is running strong. I'm also jealous. Mine is at 180k miles 3.5" lift and been all over southern Utah including moab, northern Utah and Idaho mountains. That jeep is everything to me. Its gotten me into a lot of trouble but gotten me out of a lot more.

I just bought a 96 jeep grand cherokee identical to this one, and after watching this video I am convinced to fix her up, and get her on the road. Love what you guys did to the Jeep!

[@extremeterrain]

Those old ZJs are mean! I used to have a WJ (1999-2004 Grand Cherokee) myself and I loved it. A 3.5 in. lift and some 31s would do great if its a daily driver😉 Best of luck and thanks for watching! -Zach

Heck, if my 97 Jeep was remodeled like this, I'd be jumping up and down like a jelly bean 🤣🤣

[@pnwadventurer9674]

[@alastorisgone9948]

@@pnwadventurer9674 I never said he wasn't excited. I could tell he genuinely happy about it, I of all people know that people express feelings differently. I said I'd be jumping up and down, but that would be when I'm alone, in front of a whole bunch of people I wouldn't know what to do

[@stefannechwatal7947]

I live in Victoria, Australia and two years ago, bought a 1998 ZG Grand Cherokee which is the same model but built in Graz, Austria in RHD. My Jeep is that gorgeous purple metallic with black interior.Jenna the Jeep does everything I need her for as a mobile workshop on our farm.

[@Schlabbeflicker]

This is like a version of Pimp My Ride that actually produces a nice, functional vehicle with no shortcuts that people will actually want to drive and which won't give the owner problems down the road.

Plain old 97 and up, as long as it ran would be just a dream for me!! Thank u for making wishes come true I love watching ur videos.

[@owl9416]

It's so amazing you were able to do this for Lucas!

[@robinroper3062]

The only thing I don't like is where the spare tire is , you could have put it on a bracket that fits on rear bumper.

[@eriksenactual]

Agreed, I want my roof rack for things to go on the roof not permanent tire storage

[@corypolzine4364]

People would just cut the ties up top and walk away with it should have been put on the back

[@77AbleArcher]

This makes me smile and feel good. Thanks guys. I'll be donating to Make-a-Wish!

[@InFiD3ViL1]

This video makes me sad... but very happy for that kid. My 1998 ZJ has been sitting dead in the driveway for 2 years now. My son got a flat and put a smaller tire on not knowing what it would do. In less than .5 mile, destroyed the rear diff and driveshaft. Add to that, the terrible 5.2 idle issues I always had, flooding from the sunroof causing a lake in the car during summer, constant issues with the front u-joint axle shafts/wheel hubs, and the general neverending maintenance. God I miss this truck so much. Seriously. I loved my Jeep. But I have plans!

[@zzz7zzz9]

how did "adding fender flares" open up more room to fit 33s? guessing you meant you trimmed the wheel wells and added the flares to cover the bodywork.

[@thomasstanford5586]

breathe and squeeze i was thinking the same thing.

[@ChristianWTR1]

@@thomasstanford5586when you add those flares you are supposed to cut out some of the fender so yes hide body work. i personally just when with 4 inch bulge fiberglass fenders from McNeil off-road. they are also about 100-150 bucks cheaper than the ones these guys used and are super unique no drilling required and come on its a race jeep now!

[@ChristianWTR1]

they did a cut and fold on the fenders and added the flares to cover it they stick out about 3 inches to cover the wider tires making it legal

[@tony2052]

I tell if that was my Jeep that just got restored like that, I would have been jumping up and down with joy. I probably would of had some tears in my eyes. The kid seemed as though someone just fixed his flat tire on his bike. Come on, show some gratitude or some kind of happiness. Maybe he just a spoiled brat that would have gotten a new one for his birthday. That truck came out beautiful. Oh, well, “ maybe some people don’t like showing their emotions. Enjoy the truck kid!!!

[@thomasstanford5586]

Looks amazing. You did everything i would want. Great job every one who work on this jeep. God bless you all

[@ModelTTime]

I have a 96 ZJ. I have not had any problems with leaking anything. It has 184000 miles on it. I've installed the Rough County 4" long arm kit and BFG K02 33" tires. I also swapped the Quadratrac for a 242 case and a Tom Woods SYE and rear driveshaft. Lucas, I hope you get your ZJ back soon. It looks awesome! What gear ratio was installed?

[@ChristianWTR1]

if they did it to match those new wheels it has to be 3.73 or 4.10

[@liriogalvan9131]

WOW WOW WOW THAT WHAT I CALL BEAUTIFUL I LOVE THAT COLOR AND EVERYTHING 🙏🇺🇸🇮🇹🇮🇪🇩🇴🌻🌞❤️🙏

[@MrLaurenceDunn]

The ideas here are great, as a Jeep owner for the last 23 years, I can appreciate the custom work that can be done to XJ, WK, and ZJ Jeeps which are very cheap to buy in the UK and maintain if you pick the right ones that have not been abused too much. I run a WK 5.7 HEMI on LPG which gives me the same running costs as a small car.

Guys the winch goes inside the ARB Deluxe bull bar not on top of it. Come on! If he does a winch pull with it mounted that way it is going to rip clean off the bumper. The rest of the build looks awesome.

Just got a 98ZJ , works like a charm , but i got to fix a few issues with the brakes and a little knocking sound one of the valves is making , it went away when i changed oil which looks like previous owner had 5-30 so i got some 10-40 in there and the knock went away when i added it but came back, going to get those little problems solved then comes the lifting and tires and bumpers and stuff . Love my zj tbh

[@treym4652]

If interested I’m a disabled PawPaw that refuses to get rid of my 96 zj 5.2 limited just because it’s “PawPaw’s Truck” barely able to keep up with keeping it running due to very low limited income. This jeep would make an amazing vehicle if done properly. My wish isn’t only for it to get repaired and fixed up but to help with all the work myself. Very limited movement but I don’t quit. If it takes a month to replace an alternator I’m on it every day. Ideally help fix it with my 6yo grandson

Please do this to my 2000 jeep grand Cherokee I recently got it as my first car and want to do something nice to it when I turn 18 but it has soon many smaller problems. Any suggestions on what to do to it for daily drive and mudding

[@extremeterrain]

Hey, Jayden! I had a lifted 2004 Grand Cherokee a couple years ago as my daily! I recommend looking into a 2" or 3" lift and some nice 31" tires like a 265/70R16. That setup will be noticeable compared to stock, will give you more ground clearance and capability off-road, while maintaining most of your factory on-road manners. To avoid potential death-wobble after lifting, just make sure to check all of your front end components like ball joints, tie rod ends and control arms. If you find room in your budget, an adjustable track bar and adjustable lower control arms will do wonders in making your Grand ride smoother as well. -Zach
