Had a little typo at 19:26 Ignore that 😅

[@alexanderdaughtry4491]

Get you a plastic wheel well liner from the junk yard and cut it to fit that exposed area below the air intake

[@butchmichaels69]

I'm a new owner weighing my options. Thanks for the great info!

[@SgtDestruction]

Great build and great walk thru!

[@maxwellweaver4503]

thanks for posting again! I just bought a 2022 Cherokee KL Limited and I'm trying to find out what I wanna do with the car!

[@ProbablyWorking]

Good video, just picked up a 2019. Looking to get her into the Rockies this summer!

[@rheannamacdonald3533]

Thanks for the video. I just got a 2016 Trailhawk and I'm looking to see what I want to do. It was really good to see what you've done and what you've had some problems with. You definitely have a nice looking rig!

[@blackhawkkl]

Thank you so much! Good luck with your build.

[@TagsYoureIt]

HEY, That's what brought me here too

[@70xr7Cougar]

You happy with the car? Looking to buy but i read negative stuff about the 14/15/16 year models....( issues, reliability etc..)

[@navihater]

Looks good bro.

[@z.s3072]

Nice man. Want to get some rock sliders. Love to see some non Trail Hawk action.

[@cheifDeisel]

The rear being higher than the front is called positive rake angle. Trucks use it for payload and towing compensation and sports cars use it for aerodynamics.

[@blackhawkkl]

Ah okay thank you never realized why that was. Usually see some Cherokees leveled and not leveled. I’m assuming for aerodynamics since I don’t have a receiver on the back 😂

[@passingtimebored2705]

Sounds like you have the same issue I was having with an order from mfcoffroad also. Solid build though man!!!

[@travismcdaniel8943]

If you want led headlights and fog lights I have the same year model as yours I bought auxito y13 HB3 for the headlights and just the fog lights they recommend and they work great it comes with a adapter thing because every other led had issues with a code being thrown so you should check them out and they have great prices

[@odawgisboss1486]

Ever thought about grille lights? I bought some from eBay and slapped them on and they look pretty solid. Except your bumper may be in the way

[@brandonstroud5148]

Hey, Satan called… he wants his rims back!

[@bobtaylor3010]

Same problem I had my friend took forever

[@user-tx9gy5pc5e]

I want to get my build like that

[@markvorgert9611]

Nice man, what part of Virginia you from... I am from Zion Crossroads which is between Charlottesville and short pump

[@blackhawkkl]

Roanoke area!

[@theleboMOON3Z]

Hey how did you remove the front bumper to install the bull bar?

[@charlesharalson487]

Personally looking to purchase and build a trailhawk. Was trying to see what a 2” or 3” lift would look like on one and was sort of disappointed seeing you had the Latitude. Anyways, cool information on other parts. Definitely wouldn’t go any route other than Expedition One on my front bumper. I also want 12mm offsets so my tires sit wide (like 1.5” to 2” out the tire wells). Digging the roof rack/ladder. Definitely a more budget friendly build here and it will still get the job done for anyone interested. Overall good video. Flowmaster 10 on the V6 sounds gnarly from another video I have watched. Also learned the 4 cylinders are more headaches than they are worth. Most common issues with Trailhawks seems to be rear differentials blowing a seal due to a shaft failure. From my understanding it’s because of a design flaw in the rear locker. Still a great off-road vehicle that I look forward to owning after ditching my WJ thst the previous owner neglected, though I wish I could afford a Gladiator or maybe the newly announced Recon EV (but I have to see real-world tests).

[@brucestring6564]

I just recently got a 2019 TH 3.2 and it’s a pain to find someone with previous builds that’s on a trail-hawk platform and links what they bought, hard to spend 2 grand on a roof rack so I’m with you in the budget friendly.

[@jimsp71]

nice KL but if i was to take a shot every time you say umm... id be dead..

[@steve9870]

Where did you get your skid plates?

[@muneymap]

Put a big turbo in it and get it tuned, I wanna see that

[@johnhenry8678]

I bought a snorkel from ebay that is for a Ford Ranger 220.00 then bought a K&N Apollo. After many months of studying MFC's I believe this is what they are selling in a kit. So all in I have about 450.00 in parts and I have a snorkel for my trialhawk. Send me a message and I'll send y a part list

[@blackhawkkl]

Awesome! Yes I’m interested. If possible could you dm me on Instagram? @blackhawk.kl

[@brandon84107]

What year ranger?

[@johnhenry8678]

@@brandon84107 2012 and up

[@brandon84107]

@@johnhenry8678 awesome, have you installed it yet? I would love to see it

[@TagsYoureIt]

@@brandon84107 Hey man, would you mind sending me that parts list too?

[@70xr7Cougar]

Looking to buy a used cherokee but was reading lots of realiability issues with the 2014/15/16 models... How many miles is on yours and any issues? Cheaper to find a 16 one compared to 18/19/20 but as said, lots of negative reading on the internet about the earlier ones...

[@FrostyBunnybottom]

Try and find 2019 and up. I have a 2018 and ran into a shifter maintenance light the first week of having it. 98000 miles and bone stock

[@homerguerrero]

Are the parts compatible with the newer style jeep cherokees? (The lift is mostly what I’m looking to do)

[@blackhawkkl]

Yes!

[@jewreck6223]

are you planning to sell your rims..

[@daveb418]

Go Highlanders!

[@gpfreak1]

Gobi rack create much noise? Thanks

[@blackhawkkl]

Not to bad. I usually have music on. Depends what your carrying!

[@midnitesilverrun8631]

Now get a trailhawk lol

[@sbond1963]

Sorry if this was already discussed but there is a way to center the rear wheel better. I’m not sure if this is what you are doing kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZiap6dsoaqmfJI

[@alexanderdaughtry4491]

Unfortunately that’s how MFC is. Happened to me on every order I’ve placed. I’ll only buy from them if I have no other option. Not to mention, they have premium prices for average build quality, sometimes even below average. Their instructions that come with the items are also completely useless and half the time it’ll link you to a useless video

[@blackhawkkl]

Sometimes it goes very smooth on install and other times it’s an absolute nightmare. And I agree a ton with the videos. They just put music over it and drill into the car 😂

[@TheHighwinder]

Nice rig, but I have a KL TH, and I'd never throw this kind of money or hardware at it. Why? The TRANSMISSION. This is a vehicle that will leave you stranded in the middle of nowhere with zero warning. Do the research on the KL and its transmission issues - these things are ticking time bombs and I'm getting rid of mine as soon as I can.

[@blackhawkkl]

Bought it with 32k just hit over 110k and just sold it last week and now have a gmc pick up! Had my fun with it transmission never had any issues and even when I sold it still wasn’t slipping or anything. But yes I agree they can be ticking time bombs.

[@kimguy4159]

Those exhausts are dogshit

[@thesloveniaboy123]

No, just NO.
