Jeep 5.9 limited = 245hp and 345 lbs of torque which was crazy numbers back then. In fact the 5.9 limited was the fastest SUV produced at a 6.8 sec zero to 60 time

[@hk45c62]

Same drivetrain as the Durango R/T

[@BFT88]

Typhoon was the fastest production SUV for a long time, not a Jeep grand Cherokee.

[@hk45c62]

@@BFT88 , there's no utility in a Typhoon. You can't tow or haul anything over 500 pounds, including the driver. You sure ain't taking a Typhoon offroad, unless your driveway counts.

[@chadk3664]

At the time of it's production in 92 and 93, the typhoon was the fastest SUV. For the 98 model year however, the 5.9 ZJ was the fastest at that time.

[@hk45c62]

@@chadk3664, the Typhoon isn't an SUV. No real ground clearance, no offroad capability, can't tow anything, 500 pound payload capacity includes driver.

and we viewers get taken out in the snow!

[@michelbrodeur6055]

Thanks for coming to your senses and doing this setup. Good luck at doing recoveries with the new and improved Track Jeep.

[@imagseer]

That should be pretty reliable on tracks; didn't realize it had to be hauled so far to get to the snow. But that mountain scenery is what we like to see!

[@OldJeepGarage]

Looking forward to seeing that 5.9 ZJ in action!

I would get another winch and make it fit your receiver on the back portable . Love the new jeep you made the right choices

Yeeeaaah! Track Jeep! And its sooo clean!

Could have front axle sapped the blazer and willys but for $3500 you made the right choice

Came for the first track jeep. I shall stay for this one.

So many cool vehicles and only one of you.

[@christopherthompson4359]

So glad the track Jeep is back bigger and badder. Bring on the snow.

[@peteraltman6374]

I love watching track recoverys that you do in deep snow, these people are stuck so bad they wouldn't be able to get out no matter what, you come along and it looks like they weren't even in the snow 👌👍

[@campfire52]

Perfect. This whole thing could not have worked out much better. The two old classics will be left alone, and we have the "super jeep" with tracks on it. Awesome, very well done Casey.

[@waynecox5138]

Good morning Casey

[@craigpridemore7566]

🙂Glad you're happy with the final result. I really like watching when you're having fun! Enjoy!

[@NoorElBahrain]

I found the channel after the track Jeep era so I am happily looking forward to the track Jeep recoveries. Thanks for explaining about how the tracks shake the cars. I change my vote (albeit late) to no tracks on the Willy. It would be a shame for something to happened to it.

[@Ddabig40mac]

Yay track jeep! C'mon winter! The la nina forecast got me convinced to buy my first snow blower. my cynicism is still screaming "Fool!, you've jinxed it!", but my back says 'Yeah yeah, shuddup kid, we can still work when you're wrong"

[@rudedogg6331]

I missed the poll for the Willy's tracks, but I would have voted against it BUT I would still LOVE to see a picture of the Willy's on tracks just to see how cool it would look.

[@rhondasweeney7271]

Yeah! Great choice 👌 Thank you for sharing 👌 😊

[@novavroomvroom3435]

CASEY, my soul left the chat.. The only way to bring my soul back is to put some awesome FLOW MASTER mufflers on the new tracked jeep...!!!! Don't worry, I'll get over it and I can't wait to see the tracked jeep doing recoveries

[@johnmurphy6366]

Casey,you have a vehicle collection problem,luckily,you also have a large property!that Cherokee is beyond nice!

[@kb1kos]

GOOD DEAL! The Willys has too much class to limit its use to only snow. ENJOY that ride!

[@markjeepingful]

That means better put in new fuel pump just in case like what happened last time and you better buy rebuilt or you take pcm apart and re soldering the motherboard because they are prone to fail too!!! I bought rebuilt pcm on my son’s 1996 Grandcherokee off of guy on KZbin like 4 years ago. PCM is located on firewall on passagener side, the engine heat hurt it or coolant bottle too close to it. I’m glad I google up because lots of grandcherokee owners spend money on new transfercase, transmission and engine but turns out it was pcm all along!!!!

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Never been a ZJ fan, but I’d love a 5.9 ZJ.

[@craigvanhousen559]

Perfect for what you need and what a great deal you got on it!

[@SasquatchBunyan]

Nice, I had a ‘98 ZJ until a couple years ago. Friends called it the Billy Goat, so it got named BG. Great sized trail vehicle. Cool!

[@mwp597]

I love the wagon the way it is. Just drive it and enjoy it, it's coolest vehicle you own. Great choice on a tracked vehicle!

[@carroll-w7wxv]

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! We're supposed to get around 1/2 of snow here in Prineville. Prepare for the crazy driving!

[@arte9855]

I have 2 95/96 Gand Cherokee's. We use the $800 one for gold mining and the other was $100 on craigslist 😮 so parts are available when I need something. Both have the same 5.2 as my Dodge Truck.

[@KB-gs8zi]

Hey Casey !!! The DOT & your Insurance man will be real happy that you are putting more equipment on the road !!! As you stated,, The wreckers along cost a ton of $$$ to keep them on the road !!! Anyhows, enjoy your ""NEW "" toy as looks good on tracks !!!

[@chriscalvin5083]

Amazing Casey not going to lie wanted to see the dodge do another recovery on track but this is awesome understand while the dodge is not practical for snow recovery

[@Atodaso-pg9kq]

Definitely not the biggest motor ever put in a Wrangler or Cherokee. Maybe up until that point but the Trackhawk with the 707hp 6.2 Hemi takes that title for the Cherokees and the Wrangler Rubicon 392 with the 6.4 Hemi is largest for the Wranglers. Regardless that’s still one of the greats.

[@javabeanz8549]

yeah, a lot can happen in 20 years... and you are not picking up one of those for $3500

[@Atodaso-pg9kq]

I could have used that track jeep last weekend as we got 26 inches of snow here in Southeast Colorado. Glad to see you leave the Willys as it is.

Had a 97. Same color, 4.0 loved it had it for 22 years. Then my daughter drove it. She trashed it.

Sort of wish Massachusetts still got snow like we used to. Not that we ever needed snow tracks but they do look awesome.

[@seashackf1]

It’s crazy. I remember we could have snow this time of year. Now we have 50’s and 60’s. I do like the less snow and shorter season for one thing though. The less sand and salt on the roads the better.

[@bogwin9621]

My single joy is watching you buy and use every single option that is not a Toyota FJ Cruiser. You describe how much you want a Toyota FJ and you have beaten around and around. I have enjoyed your attempts at satisfying your need for what you clearly describe you want. You want a Toyota FJ. You won’t get one. I’m pleased.

[@CaseyLaDelle]

I’ve driven one, and because of that have no desire to ever own one.

[@bogwin9621]

@ You know that I prefer you keep looking. You just describe the body of the Toyota FJ with an LS and you might be happy. I upgraded my struts.

[@masterbond9]

The FJ Cruisers are neat SUVs, but theyre extremely wide. my dad shares a driveway with his neighbor who has one and as well as either has or had a tundra. its about 16-18 feet wide at the widest part, we have a longer portion, but we both have to get as close to the houses as possible. if the neighbor parks too far away from his house, and I'm too far from what was my house, a full sized pickup would have to have the mirrors folded to pass, otherwise its too narrow. Its a hundred year old house in a small town, and the house is similarly aged. the 2 families that built the houses, or at least the original owners, were best friends, and it extended down the family tree for a few generations from what ive been able to figure out

[@shawndonnelly5317]

Good call. Congratulations, on the new track Jeep.

You don't see many zjs around. I have a 96 that's moderately built. I figured out why people don't build zjs. There have to many electronics. Casey I like the way you do what you want. And don't care what others think. Keep up the good work.

[@--_DJ_--]

That 5.9 should move that thing pretty nicely. I had one (HO version) in a 3500 dually and it wasn't the most powerful thing I have ever driven but it hauled heavy loads on that old junky truck for years and years with very little problems. Only thing I can remember that was an issue was the distributor didn't like even humid days towards the end of its life. Well that, and she drank fuel like it was going out of style.

[@chrisgrenzner9337]

You need a structure to park all your toys under. Nice choice for the tracks. There aren't many in that condition left.

I still think you should build a "roller" that packs or breaks down the snow in front or behind you to help wheeled vehicle get through the snow. They have them for snowmobile trail groomers and pack the snow down to a smooth trail
