From Not Running to Roadtrip! Will This $1,000 XJ Make it 2,000 Miles?

[@tomsmith2361]

Thanks for bringing us along on your journey to Alabama Jimmy 🎉👍😁. Ran a 92 for 26 years. Bought a 01 XJ in 2019 with 187k. Sitting in my driveway in Fl. I ran the 01 to Maine. Had dealership in Maine install Camshaft, lifters, Rods,timing chain, tps. Ran the black Billy Goat to North Dakota. Six months later, my son pulled it back to Maine. New windshield installed. Drove her back to Florida 🎉. Yes, long trips in a old car can be a little stressful, but fun👍. Long live the XJ and stay well 👍

Im a big XJ fan and I recently got another one so I've been watching random Jeep videos. Man, this video started randomly in Abingdon, Virginia which is my hometown. I had to rewind it I was like no way haha. I gave you a sub for Jeeps and that awesome coincidence!

[@JeepinJimmy]

Haha right on man! Thanks for watching!

[@terryb4655]

thank you Mr Jimmy that was fun ...and as always your wrenchmanship was excellent !

[@JeepinJimmy]

Thanks for watching!

[@JoeVizethum]

your hard work at the XJ paid off ! Very helpful to see you spare/service parts basket - I'd also add a u-joint in case of a mechanical failure.

[@JeepinJimmy]

Thanks man! U joint is a good idea!

[@hummingcatfish]

Alright, you've had your fun, now get your butts back to Alabama 😊 Great seeing the XJ in person, she's a beaut! ❤

[@JeepinJimmy]

Thanks for having us! 😁

What size coupler can i get to replace the lower resonator? someone cut it at night and stole it from my truck and im trying to fine something to make it less louder. I have the 2001 XJ with with the two baby cats on the motor and resonator at bottom, Thank you! always an amazing job im learning with your videos helps a ton!

[@tomsmith2361]

That’s a methhead preying on you. Needs a prison sentence to get our civilization civilized ❗️Good luck 👍

[@JeepinJimmy]

Man i almost forget but I think the factory exhaust is 2.5” od. Thanks for watching!

[@SupraBdub]

Whoa, we just had a wild snow and ice storm in Tennessee you must've caught some of it. I need an XJ fr.

[@JeepinJimmy]

Yeah man we just caught the beginning of it. We were out haha

[@danhambrick6331]

Glad you had a safe trip Jimmy.Do you have relatives in Alabama?

[@JeepinJimmy]

Thanks! Yessir my mom lives there!

[@Miggy0089]

I was also wondering. do u know what size of pipe to use if i remove and cut that down resonator? cuz i have the california baby cats on motor but at the bottom theres like a resonator or another cat i think? i wanted to cut it off to make my borla sound better

[@JeepinJimmy]

2.5” i think

I have a 2000 Jeep xj classic , one of the best upgrades I’ve done so far on my stock jeep is put a JEEP CHEROKEE XJ VIPER COIL MOD , check it out and say goodbye coil rail.

[@JeepinJimmy]

Right on, i'll have to check that out!

[@the-pezinator]

Thanks God I have been cured of my jeep zj fever . How you may ask , I got sick of being underneath it more than i was driving it ! in hindsight I should have gotten a toyota . anybody want a 1993 Zj with a good transmission and engine and bad everything else let me know . I would never buy another jeep, ever .

[@suzsam17]

ps . DO NOT go to any mechanic in FL they are not very reliable.
