Jeep Grand Cherokee Built 1993

[@reating]

I write from Italy. I have a 5.9.Thanks, America, for this awesome car !

[@luxury_car_italy]

Anch’io italiano e in famiglia ho la 5.2 limited, uno spettacolo 🔥

[@Mudsuitable]

I got a lil choked up, I have 2 97s one with, 297k 5.2 v8 and one with 68k with factory 5.9 v8 and have had six others ranging from 94 to 98 by far the most comfy most capable and have the most power of all jeeps and my favorite vehicle to drive daily and to bash in the woods every chance I get, my commute to the highway starts with ten miles of rough trails to avoid all traffic, roads and people it's the best way to start my day and unwind on the way home

[@eldridgederring9325]

We can be friends.

[@martinrice6541]

I love this! We’ve had a ZJ in our garage consistently for 30 years. My first one which was brand new company vehicle in 1994. Currently we have 4 in-service in the fleet and at least one gets used every day.

[@Eldomibori]

Love my 98’ 5.2. She’s a beast. Never left me stranded no matter how much I abuse it. The 318 is a solid monster.

[@jeremymenchaca]

It really is solid.

[@TheBikemaster94]

Yeah but even the 5.7 hemi is becoming antiquated, a re-fresh might push it to 430hp

[@benjochs]

The best looking Grand Cherokee - ever!

[@JasnoGT]

Along with the WJ :)

[@AgentXRifle]

As someone who owns a WK and also likes the WJ, while these have a great look… the OG Cherokee is extra special!

[@chak-chakgaragegarcia8419]

I'm proud of still having my zj 93 4.0 running great my dad had a 97 5.2 always going to be a zj fan 4 life

[@imhann98]

Agreed.

[@davidtrevino5211]

Dayummmm, I have a 1998 ZJ . It's not even a 4x4 , and I still love it.. Only owned it 7 months, feels like a tank compared to the crap nowadays.. I have a 99Xj , 2007 JK, 2006 commander.. ZJ made of steel compared to the rest in my opinion..

[@zjenthusiast3037]

I’ve got a 98 5.2 as well! I love that thing so much!!! Only complaint is the electronics and that blasted np249 t case, I just swapped it to the bullet proof 231 though!!

[@thomasplacentia5201]

hell yeah man! respect

[@arischreiber2213]

Just got a 1993 Limited V8 with only 165k. It's in mint condition for 27 years. All original. One owner since new and garage kept. Old man bought new at dealership. Rustproofing regularly since day one. Everything works still even the cassette deck and rear wiper. Interior is pristine. The leather is so soft and comfortable. Better than any vehicle today by far. If someone who was there to build it you can go to your grave knowing one of your creations still lives. Also have a 5.9 Limited in mint condition too that's daily driver for teenage son. Anyone who says that Jeep has reliability issues doesn't know how to take care of a vehicle. Would never buy anything othan than a Grand Cherokee. Have six in family today. Best vehicle ever in snow. All reviews should be done in winter worst case scenario. Then see who wants a KIA lol.

[@mag2395]

These era jeeps are tanks no matter what engine they have. Mines a 93 limited almost 300k on it almost rotted out, still runs and drives awesome, these are truly a work of art.

[@johndunn8274]

I own 2 '98 4.0 zjs, one is a limited. The Laredo has 293,000 miles on it and I drive it almost every day. Everything works on both vehicles and I have around $6,000 invested in them combined. THE best vehicle ever assembled

[@Gudi102]

I have a 95 Black Limited which I absolutely love!!

[@s3vR3x]

THANK YOU for posting this! Im the original owner of a 94 Grand Cherokee and Ive been looking for videos of the production line. Chrysler was a much different, more innovative company then!

[@ThomasBromehead]

You bought yours new?

[@hungtastic83]

Omg I'm so much more proud of my 95 grand Cherokee this video was awesome!!!

[@josephcaldwell2822]

watch "autobiography of a jeep (1943)" you will be more proud of your jeep and country!!

[@4strokesarejokes]

Hell yeah!! Good for you girly! I'd like to see more young women of color taking an interest in American automobiles beyond just what color they want or wanting big rims but genuinely taking interest in cars

[@jeremymenchaca]

I love my 95.

[@MegaJudyd]

I bought my 93 Jeep 4x4 6 cylinder brand new and still have it today 157,000 miles on it, I also get good gas mileage 19-20 in town and 23-26 on highway, the secret to that is don't baby them the harder you push it the better the mileage. Been thru 2 radiators, 2 batteries and 1 set of brakes and don't slam it in PARK just go easy. One problem I have is windsheild wiper fluid must be full most of time if not the red light comes on and car will act stupid and not want to run, easy fix. I bought the Boxy style so no one can tell how old it is, holds the road great in high winds, also great in snow, really LOVE this car. Made in the USA!!

[@velocityrus]

I have a 98 5.9 limited - perfect car, not going to sell it. Hope my children will keep it like me.

[@NiGHTMARE_NiCk]

Got a 94' limited with the 4.0, 260,000 miles and still going strong

[@TheWolfsnack]

I have a 93 Laredo 4.0....235,000 on it....so far it has cost me 1 tranny, 1 transfer case, 1 rear end....all replaced in the past three years...I just went out this morning for a drive to the nearest store....in a blizzard, pushing through 1 to 2 ft snow drifts....no problem.

[@mercedes-amgforlife3237]

My 1993 has made it 227k miles. The engine died but I kept it and plan on making it a 4.7 stroker for a project. The suspension and u-joints are original with no slop, the transmission was rebuilt after all the internals were discentigrated but it kept shifting. I also replaced the battery harness with a NOS Mopar one. Me and my Jeep have been through a lot together since being bought in 1995, and I'll never part with it. GO JEEP!!!

[@danr4197]

To this day I am so sad AMC went out of business. They made great product!

[@Creating_Space]

rumor has it that ZJ still has its hazard lights on to this day

[@thecanadianavee8r660]

My 94's just about to hit 500,000km and still has a long way to go. What an awesome car.

[@robertdavis32]

I have memories of riding in these a 96 4.0 limited and maybe a 97-98 v8 two ladies at my church had em and I rode in them from time to time, love these grand Cherokees

[@BKofficer23]

I wonder if such a spectacular marketing campaign/reveal like this would ever be attempted again, or even allowed.

[@T-Rex-nm1se]

I still see these zj grand cherokees on the road in 2024. Jeeps back in the 1990s had better quality than today's jeeps, i dont think the new jeeps wont last as long as the older ones such as the ZJ and WJ Jeeps. The new ones will probably be in the junkyard within 5 to 10 years while these older ones will still be going strong. Ever since chrysler merged with Daimler and then fiat the quality has gone downhill since

[@tahoebrocksmith723]

I do agree with you fs to an extent I will say that in 2024 I still see tons of preface lift Jeep wk2 (2011-2013) I see them absolutely every day and there are so many used ones for sale

[@mikester1522]

Humans and Robots working together, awesome!

[@KenSiefert]

‘99 TJ here, still going strong as my daily driver and weekend toy...300,000 miles plus. That 4.0 straight 6 is a wonderful motor and I will rebuild it if/when that time ever comes.

[@tylerbrown20]

I got the 96' swapped to a 5.9. After watching this, I am so much more proud to have a ZJ. Also, I wish they could revive the 4.0, 5.2, and 5.9, it would be sick.

[@Kamofy]

What a great upload. Thanks OP.

[@hanktrimble5755]

This video was the ultimate random find. I love Grand Cherokees and have had five total, in every body style with the exception of the WK2. The ZJ has always been my favorite. I currently drive a 5.9.

[@TheTechnicalWizard]

Just got a ‘93 Grand Wagoneer. Bought new and kept up by an elderly lady until this year. The ZJ will always be the best looking Grand Cherokee.

[@plsniper]

1990s were the best. Now everything is made to brake so they all make money. Back then everything was made to last!

[@jamesthelesser9345]

I have early Laredo, built March '93. Hunter Green.

[@williesmith9255]

I love my 98 Grand Cherokee Jeep

[@GatlinburgFunHouse]

Thanks for posting, absolutely priceless.

[@lar4305]

I have a 97 Laredo, they will bury me in it.

[@4strokesarejokes]

Hell yeah same here.

[@imhann98]

Agreed.

[@arischreiber2213]

You can have my Jeep when you pry it from my cold dead hands - Abraham Lincoln

[@kainhall]

i also have a 97 laredo..... 4.0 . then have a 94 or 95 ..... for parts the body is smashed up.... but the motor, trans, T-case, axles, ETC is all in great shape . . i just put 4 shocks, track bar, drag link end, tie rod end, new brake pads on all 4 corners, lubed the caliper slide pins, new head light assembly..... and some more stuff im forgetting . she drives like brand new now...... and besides the black driver front door.... looks pretty damn good also it had the normal ZJ fucked lower door pin issue..... . . never selling it..... hell no too good of a hunting rig

[@omcdm]

@@kainhall hi im very hard to choose between 5.9 and 4.0 which one i should buy, 5.9 great sound and 4.0 a liittlr bit noisy ? But i saw they put flowmaster 44 to 4.0 s for good sound ?

[@mhs2385]

My limited 5.2 4x4 was born this year still has 80k mils like new never will change with any suv I m just proud of it.

[@KingRoseArchives]

***** Glad it's working for you. They are classics.

[@Khalilbey16]

WOW i have a 1993 jeep grand Cherokee limited 4x4 5.2ltr......It came out the production line the day i was born. its a great car some of the last hand made jeeps in Detroit. Proud to own one and will always buy a jeep.

[@DakotaRaymond1999]

Damn you wrote this comment when you where 20 now ur 29😮

[@Synysterdragon93]

Watching this brings me joy but is also bittersweet. I was a proud owner of a 97 4.0 Laredo. It drove like a dream and a monster. I pushed it to it's limits and it never gave out. The transmission however... Didn't last. 😂😭

[@MacGregor.]

On my second Zj. Proudly drive it around Detroit. Shipped back home from Georgia. Best looking GC in my opinion.

[@onefastcyclist]

Thanks for posting - brought a smile to my face! In the mid '90's Broke Yates (editor of Car & Driver) remarked: "forget the '60's, THIS is the golden age of the automobile"

[@lar4305]

Got a 97 Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.0. I would never think of selling it. I don't care what gas goes up to. In the snow, i go where no man has gone before.

[@MrDGenocide]

Seeing that this is a 4 year old comment im curious. Do you still have it?

[@moparlifene]

Loved the zjs my favorite was the 5.9 limited they only did in 98, I miss my 5.9

[@vasilyprukov5546]

Randomly came across this video I've got a 1998 Jeep grand cherokee laredo 4x4 W/ 4.0 inline six aha love it to death she won't die.

[@jeremymenchaca]

I have a 1995 Grand Cherokee Limited with the 5.2 V8 4x4. Paid $500 for it. It won't die either.

[@KingRoseArchives]

Good eye. I remember seeing it make the grand entrance but never asked anyone how it was done.

[@Pro1er]

Bought my 1993 Limited in 1992 and I'm still driving it, but this video explains why - I saw nothing but old-timers in the plant. The kids nowadays could care less about doing quality work. I had to laugh at the shot where they were driving down Jefferson Ave., it reminded me of the O.J. chase ;-p

[@Pro1er]

The only thing my high school offered was a woodshop class, (which I took). I don't remember how much gas was when I bought the Jeep, but I used to pump it for 19.9¢ a gallon.

[@paoloc2571]

When the world was better and simpler. And cars still existed.

[@dhornsby732]

I LOVE MY JEEP!! BLACK JEEP of the FAMILY MY OTHER JEEP, IS A JEEP!

Привет из России! На 2024 год владею ZJ 1993, 4.0L, AW4, NP231 как второе авто для оффроуда. Долго искал именно в этой конфигурации авто, данные коробки автомат и раздаточные коробки ставились исключительно в 93 году от предыдущих XJ и только 1 год.

man its funny i was born in june 1993 and my dads mom still has her 1994 grand cherokee and still runs like a dream. soon im getting a 1989 cherokee in red with the 4.0 inline 6

Does anyone know if XJ model has same video?

amazing presentation for the new Jeep Grand Cherokee. when purchased craisler. I tube that model with the same engine 4.L laredo, your 1999 laredo be one also. and I buy the limited hemi 2005. incredible sub

[@firingallcylinders2949]

I love that the pace cars following it are XJs

[@AscendantRobin]

Fiat/Chrysler wouldn't do that with their new-sissy-plasticmobiles for an auto show. BRING BACK ZJ and WJ . I own a stock 99' WJ that's more capable than my friends 2011WKII-budget-boosted Jeep "graché" . SADNESS

[@tonymont72]

No audio? LGG2

[@zeitGGeist]

this was so hype

[@777jones]

Mostly designed by AMC. So, it is good.

[@waterloo123100]

777jones the only thing designed by AMC is the block on the 4.0 . It's all Chrysler

[@zoidsfan77]

waterloo123100 Not entirely so. The design was mostly completed by AMC. When chrystler came in they made some tweaks and put it to market.

[@4strokesarejokes]

No that's not true at all. AMC designed the whole damn vehicle and had it ready to start production in 88 but they got into money trouble so they put production on hold and in 1992 they amc sold out to Chrysler who then tweaked a few things and put some finishing touches on it and released it under the Chrysler name. Jeep is still owned by Chrysler and the ZJ was the first Jeep to be sold as a Chrysler product

[@4strokesarejokes]

EXACTLY TRUE!!! Guy above you is a fucking moron.

[@jeremymenchaca]

@@waterloo123100 *checks jeep key* it doesn't have the AMC logo on it.

I had a 94 Grand until it got wreck by a jackass it was the only thing that saved me that day EMTs had no intention of checking me out as the drove away from the car wreck. And if you think I am bullshitting I have video proof. MOPAR or NO CAR

What happened to the audio?

Recording issues.

Buena inauguración para el Jeep Gran Cherokee ZJ, sobre todo para su capo delantero... Con una tonelada de vidrio roto sobre el....

It would have been nice if some people and not 80% Robots had built my '93 Grand Cherokee Limited!! It may have been nearly as good as my '93 Cherokee Country is!!!

[@zoidsfan77]

acbrutality It may have been different in the days of this video, but human auto plant workers today have no pride and could care less about quality. They just want to get there 8 and be done. The robots tend to do a better job. All depends on how they are set up.

[@larrykirk9825]

I work there at Chrysler and i have pride and care about every vehicle that comes off the line its what we do in detroit for generations its to bad people think that. You should come in one these plants and see for youself instead of hearing storys that are half truths

Where is the audio at

Unfortunately, there is no audio. Sorry.

With the exception of transmissions and some electrical. Yes, awesome quality.

Looking for a Grand Cherokee ZJ as a second car ... trying to import one from Germany to Belgium. 1994 or older, because than it's 30 years old and an oldtimer ... so it's cheap on taxes.

[@TrashleyGaga]

This could of been prevented but I guess safety was sacrificed and compromised to save money and time. Still a great vehicle but if your thinking of driving off-road I recommend reinforcing all the brackets, because its cheaper to reinforce them than to fix a cracked frame, plus no body shop will touch or repair my frame due to liability reasons.
