JCR Unibody Frame Stiffeners - Jeep Cherokee XJ - The Roadhouse

[@raybaggett718]

I weld all the time. I haven't burnt myself in a while, thanks to Tommy's safety tip.

[@letstalkcaliber704]

These videos are absolute classics. I come back to them time and time again whenever I need a reference video when working on my cherokee.

[@marrag1]

"Thank JCR for giving us a stiffy" is probably one of the reasons Tommy makes me laugh so much lol

[@letstalkcaliber704]

I miss these videos. Cherokees and pbr are two of my favorite things.

[@UndergroundTrev]

I laughed so hard at this one! The beer cans and safety tip killed me! Your production and editing gets better with every video. Worth the wait guys. Keep 'em coming!

[@PabstBoys]

+UndergroundTrev The Laughs are what it's all about! Glad it was worth the wait. This ain't a full time gig... We're busy dudes. But if you guys keep enjoying our episodes, we'll keep making 'em

[@phillipbishop3967]

You two are just a bunch of fun to watch, keep it coming.

[@PabstBoys]

+Phillip Bishop Thanks a lot Bud! Your comments ain't so bad to read either. Cheers!!

[@WildHobos]

That 'Talking Safety with Tommy' got me, so funny. :)

[@LowGearMedia]

Another premium video by The Roadhouse. Great job, keep em coming.

[@SteveRobReviews]

Haha , love the safety Tip :) fantastic guys. 👍👍

[@dave8599]

Weld thru primer is a good thing to spray on the parts prior to assembly to allow the areas joined together to have inner rust protection. water will get in between the rail and stiffener, you want this area painted wkth the weld tru primer.

[@jdgreens9268]

Big shout out to you guys, love your videos. I just purchased some BDS front coils springs after watching your Video on them. I'm ditching that 3.5" metal spacer. Thanks guys.

[@rambow58]

You guys simplified it perfectly

[@TorontoSupraMan]

Won’t it rust where you grinded the metal? Maybe a weld thru primer first?

[@dana.c.2270]

I just found this channel, LMAO the beers on that bench

[@Spruce-Bug]

This is quite possibly one of the best videos on the internet, well done lads.

[@christianmarchan6577]

Love this guys they made really good videos on XJs

[@agoogleuser7784]

I think this channel is gonna end up being really popular. Good work guys.

[@PabstBoys]

Thanks Bud! Cheers!!

[@jeans1889]

about time for a new episode. always makes me smile

[@PabstBoys]

+jeans 609 That's what makes it worth it! Thanks Bud!!

[@jeans1889]

[@wholbrook1991]

you guys deserve more than 7000 subscribers. keep rockin!

[@PabstBoys]

Thanks Bud! We'll get there.

[@onewaylight8730]

Whoa! I could do this! Now, just need to learn welding. Also, Tommy's safety message reminded me of the warning a fellow solder gave before he shot himself in the chest with a star-cluster flare.

[@PabstBoys]

Cheeseless Crust! Safety third, hey?

[@BigJDinSC]

The frame stiffener I find most effective is Kate Upton.

[@PabstBoys]

+JonDinCT BwaaaaaHahahahahahhahaha!

[@TheMrDmack]

You guys are cooler than the other popular channels for Jeeps. Nice Video

[@PabstBoys]

+The DmaCk Thanks Pal!!! That means a lot!

[@TheMrDmack]

No ignorance or disrespect intended when i said "popular". I see you guys getting alot of subscribers this year.

[@PabstBoys]

+The DmaCk I hope that's the case. Either way, we're having fun doin' what we're doin' Thanks Bud!!

[@ramsesvalenzuela2324]

[@PabstBoys]

+Ramses Valenzuela Sorry to keep y'all waiting....... Sure you guys will figure out what the pause was all about soon enough.

[@youngbradley26]

BAHAHAHAHAAA!! Best autobody repair channel I've ever seen! KUDOS!!!

[@ml2trick]

You guys Rock. New Sub and how do you only have 6,000 subs. People will find you.

[@PabstBoys]

+ml2trick Well we got one more with you. Thanks Bud! Cheers!!

[@Dillithium]

Keep em coming guys!

[@ThePlowGuys]

Giving us a "Stiffy". OMG I am laughing my self silly Clyde.

[@PabstBoys]

Had to......

[@CaudillPat]

How long did that take you? What welder did you use? I think the pervious owner of my 95 2D 4x4 XJ busted a few welds and I get a popping from what I think is body panels that have been a little stretched. Have ordered the stiffeners but have not much experience in welding. Have always wanted to though. That said, I’ll be getting a welder and the stiffeners and doing it my self. Any help or advice is much appreciated.

[@DualcoreDesigns]

1 video and already love this fucking channel totally earn my sub lmao.

[@Dino30ish]

Be sure to Unhook the Battery whenever you are welding on a Chassis ... It will reduce the risk of frying the ecu ... Especially with newer cars or when using a Tig welder ..........

[@karennapatterson2148]

I’m glad to find out you don’t have to take the coils out to do the front but do you have to take the leaf springs out to do the rear or can you work around them like the coils?

[@ageomediasay]

For a long term Jeep build, has it caused the lower rail to rust out faster since it hold dirt and water more? Mine is rust free now, so not looking to compromise that really

[@brokenwrenchadventure7918]

great video guys really enjoy your work keep up the great videos

[@PabstBoys]

+Broken Wrench Adventure Yaharrrrr fellow Redbeard! Thanks Bud! If we're ever coming through, we need to go on one of them adventures with ya bud!

[@dirtfisher4383]

Ha! Before the video starts first ad is for Miller Champagne Bottle! Yessss!!!!,... Real Beer!!!!!!!

[@RickJamesBish]

I'm assuming the spacers mentioned go between the rock sliders and pinch seam ? Any recommendations on getting new holes drilled in stiffeners to match up with holes on frame where sliders mount?

[@PabstBoys]

+Rick James Bish We aren't running those sliders, but just got off the phone with Handicorn and he said, "Use the pinch weld to locate the sliders front to back since they already have the holes in them. Push the feet tight against the frame and mark and drill. That's going to get them real close."

[@chrisboyer4618]

Should have mentioned to spray weldable primer on the unibody and the underside of the stiffners those are going to rust like crazy

[@gregscherf9385]

Man I really miss the road house. Even though tommy had to leave. I wish you could have be kept going. Would have loved to see the 360 go in

[@grantgibson502]

You guys make great videos keep it up

[@PabstBoys]

+Grant Gibson Thanks Bud! Will do...

[@saltymethods2637]

Whatup guys?! Great channel. I like the humor. How about a roll cage install?

[@PabstBoys]

+Hilla P Hey Bud. Thanks! That might end up on our list the way things are going...

[@saltymethods2637]

+Pabst Boys Roadhouse Got another project for you that might not cost all that much. What about a LED light bar?

[@PabstBoys]

+Hilla P Got some LED stuff coming up soon

[@basselalawar861]

Hey guys! Any recommendations regarding the welding process, what is the preferable welding, and on what load?

[@UseLessInLife]

I still dont get how u guys only have 5 k subs

[@PabstBoys]

+Mahmood al-Walled Cuz you don't share enough........LOL!

[@MrMrsregor]

this might be my favorite channel, but it is hard to get subs when there are not new videos every week..i think these guys have real jobs they have to work around unlike some some other channels that have big sponsors and only need to make youtube videos. (i am a proud PB Roadhouse subscriber)

[@UseLessInLife]

From what I know more content daily is better and over 10min videos get better ad revenue but yeah I figured they have jobs etc

[@PabstBoys]

Yeah, we have jobs. The 10 min video thing is pretty crappy though. It's a lot more work to make a shorter, more entertaining, well paced video than just upload the uncut long edit. We would like to get popular, but not at the risk of making less quality content. So, we're not gonna game the system and post crap videos on the regular. We are coming up with a few things that will help us upload more regularly. We just have to work out our budget constraints. We may even go on a fan funded model if there's enough interest. We have a lot ready to go, it's just a matter of having the time and the resources. Thanks for your input guys. We love making the show and we're glad to have you guys in our audience.

[@UseLessInLife]

I respect that.

[@AdmiralOffRoad]

looking good!

[@jamesrockman3680]

dude I follow both of you (admiral and PBR). Your videos rock too!

[@doubletapm4]

would be cool to see tou guys wheelin the jeep!

[@PabstBoys]

+doubletapm4 It's comin' Just gotta get some work done first....

[@hayzersolar]

question do we need to prime the surface? what about rust in between the stiffener and the frame?

[@BuccYJ]

awesome like allways... btw. how many Ampere did u you use for the welding?

[@PabstBoys]

+BuccYJ Anywhere from 90 - 150 depending on what spots we were working on. There is some thin sheet metal in spots. It's kinda hard to gauge a solid number with the little Buzz Box we have. I find wire speed to be a more important factor.

[@BuccYJ]

+Pabst Boys the wirespeed depends on the power u weld with. btw. nice cartoonpic of you guys at the beginning

[@PabstBoys]

+BuccYJ Right, but wire speed on a Buz Box like ours really just adjusts your "stick out", so when you only have "A' through "E" Amp settings, you can really fine tune it with the wire speed. Glad you like the new Logo. We've got something coming really soon about it.....

[@BuccYJ]

Got a other idea too... swapin rusty floorpanels... lol i seen some at yours...

[@PabstBoys]

+BuccYJ Hahahahahaha Yes you did...

[@MSpeedThree]

Doan buun yoself. I love this guy.

[@MSpeedThree]

Damn I miss this duo.

[@bradleycampbell5933]

well done dudes

[@killabee623]

And keep cans of beer quench any fire.

[@monstermechanic-uw8xj]

I want to see you guys put a hemi in it

[@robertsullivan2483]

Would it benefit welding the inside also or is that too much work?

[@3jsoneb]

dang,...just miss watching these videos, too bad there are no new ones..

[@PabstBoys]

Yeah, There will be..........

[@jeffreyservay6224]

Awesome video. I am always entertained watching you guys as well are my 4 and 6 year old. What MIG welder do you recommend? my pos Harbor Freight one is doa. Goes to show that you get what you pay for. I am debating between a Lincoln Electric 125D and an Eastwood 135.

[@PabstBoys]

Hahaha! We were aiming for "safe for work", but the kids... OK. LOL We have a Lincoln SP-170T 240v, but I use a Miller at work of the same calibre I like 'em both to be honest, but mine would work better with a new whip. Recommend something 240v. you won't be disappointed

[@limesmd3573]

Nice my Friends good job

[@joserocha1828]

What welding method did you guys use??

[@dylanmckinney759]

ay y'all uploaded again!

[@jeeptacular4817]

Aaaaaaaah Stiffy I get it. Funny Boys!

[@PabstBoys]

+JeepTacular 48 That's not what Tommy meant to say..........

[@jeeptacular4817]

+Pabst Boys Roadhouse Oh, I know what Tommy meant. Got a semi just from the video

[@PabstBoys]

+JeepTacular 48 Bwaaaahahahahahahhahahahahahahaah!!!!

[@randyhoover7399]

Where do it get them for a 2000 jeep grand Cherokee Laredo?

[@rheidtech]

awesome!

[@robbiek9807]

Hold on, you guys are from BC? That’s bad ass.

[@MrGalaxieman]

Do you weld these all the way around or just stitch weld them on? How do these compare to other brands? I noticed a lot of other companies run clear to the front where the bumper mounts are, is that a big advantage or will these perform the same? Thanks! I really appreciate these videos

[@brianwolford5084]

If you want it to go all the way to the bumper there is another JCR kit to buy that stiffens the bumper mounts and steering box area . It mates up to that funky angle on the front of the JCR stiffener.

[@nathrak]

You guys should do a collaboration with bleepinjeep. You have the personality that Matt lacks and he has the larger subscriber base that you need to get your names out.

[@LowGearMedia]

+nathrak Some people build their subscriber base in non-organic ways yielding higher numbers. The Roadhouse doesn't need "Non-Organic" subscribers to make them look bigger as their content speaks for itself.

[@PabstBoys]

+nathrak Appreciate that you wanna see us get big, but we wanna work with people for the fun of it. Big or small. Believe me, We talked to the Bleepin Guy, and saw a side of his personality that makes his videos look good......

[@MSpeedThree]

Haha. Beefin' the Jeep Guy.

[@brianhaw9398]

They are probably 4000 miles apart. Kinda hard to do a collaboration

[@nathrak]

@@brianhaw9398 necro post

[@onewaylight8730]

I watch and I don't even own frame stiffeners - or a welder to put them on with! I do have an XJ though - would be weird if I didn't.

[@PabstBoys]

Wouldn't be that weird. We watch Top Gear, but don't even own a Lambo...

[@Jeeptalkshow]

lol the beer cans....

[@PabstBoys]

+JEEP TALK SHOW! Just a couple laying around.

[@adamswaz4878]

do the front stiffeners interfere with aftermarket bumpers or ?

[@dre04mach]

What kind of amps and wire speed did you guys use?

[@mitchelllawrentz766]

Can this be used to fix rusted out uni body’s

[@pondbear71]

is that a walter flap wheel? best ive ever used

[@PabstBoys]

+pondbear71 We wont use anything else. Hands down. The best!

[@pondbear71]

Absolutely. Too bad they don't help a bent t-case shaft because that's my project of the day. Yay SYE

[@PabstBoys]

+pondbear71 Haha Awesome! We're gonna have to look into doing that at some point

[@pondbear71]

My advice is to try to plan ahead. Having to do it all in a day just to get to work the next day sucked. oh and if you have a 300 pound gorilla of a friend to move it around that helps a lot. I didn't.

[@STINSONShobbies]

What's the url to that one video you talked about for us people how watch on our cell phones

[@PabstBoys]

+STINSONShobbies kzbin.info/www/bejne/fF7UeGqYhcmee68 It's a great video!!

[@STINSONShobbies]

+Pabst Boys Thanks

[@chrissullivan3638]

How many hours did this take you guys?

[@quartermasterbambooii9629]

Doing both sides?

[@vinceprudente7868]

What kind of welder did you guys use?

[@PabstBoys]

Lincoln SP-170T 220v MIG

[@chrissumruld6756]

Love your videos, but you SHOULD have shown the driver's side wheel well install. No one mentions, ANYWHERE, that you have to remove the track bar mount.

[@miket8333]

The cherokee was ground-breaking, BUT it wasn't the first SUV. I think that crown belongs to the AMC eagle

[@brianhaw9398]

I would say the international scout.

[@paulscomedyclips]

What welder do you guys use?

[@PabstBoys]

+Paul Duquette It's a Lincoln SP-170T 240v Old model, but does the job.

[@dominionn09]

Floor boards look rotted no?

[@Soler025]

what fenders are those? and where can I get them?!?

[@PabstBoys]

I built them, and you can too....

[@billyraybullington3038]

JCR gave me a stiffy hahahaha

[@stewie222444]

How long roughly did it take to do the whole job?

[@PabstBoys]

+stewie222444 If we didn't film it....... A couple of hours. Depends on your skill level and how many PBRs ya got in ya.

[@beersngearz781]

Good video!! Lol

[@Tony_860]

can u guys do a video on how to install a body lift cuz u guys are just fuckin awesome and i would love to install one on my rig but dont know how

[@PabstBoys]

Ya know, I might surprise everybody one day and actually pull that off......;D

[@KentuckyFriedClassic]

if you have an xj there is no such thing as a body lift. the frame and body on the xj are integrated together. there are no body mounts on the cherokee. the body IS the frame.

[@dielauwen]

CAT says Meeeer . His speech is slurred after some beers.

[@FootageFactory]

Who the hell are you guys, and why don't you have a million views?

[@PabstBoys]

A couple of nobodies, and dunno..

[@jamessteffen09]

do they make these for a 95 zj?

[@PabstBoys]

I was looking at that. they don't but it would take little modification to make them fit.

[@jamessteffen09]

Pabst Boys Roadhouse im going to end up fabricating my own mount.

[@PabstBoys]

That'll work too.

[@JeepXJ8895]

Next video... hmmm Do much night wheeling? why not install some LED rock lights ;)

[@PabstBoys]

+JeepXJ8895 Like that idea!!

[@670-u3q]

I'd rather grinder lol than to scrape

[@verbaldavenci1]

We miss Tommy...

[@rottiesdad]

BRING TOMMY BACK!!!!!!!

[@mblake0420]

that thing is gonna rust all to shit

[@PabstBoys]

+Mark Blake Jr. hope you're around when it does. I'll keep you posted.....

[@mblake0420]

I would have used that por everywhere and wiped only the areas I was planing to weld clean and put the stiffeners on while it was still wet then welded it up and recoated....but that's me.....hope u don't get rust
