Jeep XJ Gets Lifted on 33s. Off Road Camera Chase Vehicle Build!

[@colerobinson3757]

Thanks for the sweet content lads. The main reason I come on KZbin is for these videos

[@joshuafry907]

This is the only show I watch!!!!!!!

[@FearOfTheSky]

We really do need that Bradology Dictionology at some point.

[@GustavCarl17]

Especially the part about blowing out holes

[@notatakenname7433]

"This is a bad idea, whatever send it." My new mind set.

[@everyone5724]

This is a creed for all scumbags.

[@nelsonflores_]

My mantra for 2019

[@ayitzdustin]

The look of disgust on Nelson's face for the 1 wheel burnout....

[@TheHoonigans]

🤣

[@wubalubdubdub2085]

He probably thought something broke 😅😭

[@thedudeprime4677]

Ooh, I definitely want to see more of this car

[@nelsonflores_]

The Dudeprime what did you think of episode 2!?

[@nibbzs15]

I will forever have XJs in my heart they’re the best jeeps hands down

Staff Infection: where Hoonigan tries to diagnose their employees medical problems

[@BD-or2xu]

that's a short arm kit, long arm kits relocate the body end of the control arm toward the center of the vehicle for better articulation, handling, and a better ride. I wouldn't recommend any jumping or fast desert driving with that short arm kit since it is still using the weak factory mounts for the control arms. XJs have dana 30s up front and either dana 35, 44, or Christler axles in the back. i would recommend getting a dana 44 from a junkyard for the back, direct bolt on if the gearing is the same and pretty cheap. at least they knew not to go higher than 33s on stock axles though.

Staff inspection is my favorite dt episode. Love it. Keep up the good work yall!

[@0900145]

not a longarm set

[@michaellara2373]

T-rex arms

[@markp6732]

;looks like short arm,long arm you would have to relocate mounts in front!!!

[@WaffleCopterCO]

@@michaellara2373 trex arms... Lol 😂

[@clintoncox1764]

Clayton long arms. The best

[@07negative56]

The guys at Clayton Offroad are super rad! Good quality stuff. Their coils & leafs are smooth & flexy.

[@StefanThePro]

I love how Brad tossed that cat regardless 😂 that’s true Bradology Also the tip about every other hole is a good one

[@fmx623]

props for taking it off the dock

[@jaredanthony8070]

Also.. totally should've flexed it off the ramp to bend Brad's dump up further than the 3 inches from the axle 😂

[@imagej00]

Need more of this! Brad and Jeeps at 4 Am are the 2 best things I saw on youtube today!

[@07negative56]

If you’re running the 8.25 rear. It’s actually not that bad of a axle. I wouldn’t go catching air on the 8.25 & Dana30. But for crawling they’re perfectly fine. Just make sure your geared correctly. My XJ sits on 35’s with 4.88 gears, Detroit lockers, 4:1 transfer case. Dana 44’s. Crawls like a dream.

[@fmm1979]

Club xj approved

[@mridontknow2375]

I was waiting for this comment 😂😂👌🏻

[@parkerm9295]

Only bc he called the Dana 30 front axle a Dana 35

[@Ioganisrad]

can yall mf'ers tell me why my cps is bad

[@Boot38979]

[@josephlubke2201]

It's a long arm lift dumbasses

A weekday without a hoonigan video is definitely a miserable day. I love HOONIGAN. All the way from Cape Town, South Africa

"when you blow those holes out you have other holes to go to" - Brad 2k18

[@jeepcollector91]

Still have some clearance issues (seen at 10:09 ) Time to extend the rear bump stops or start trimming. Or just downsize to 31x10.50's... LOL I agree, the Dana-35 rear is a weak POS (mentioned at 5:05 ) I don't worry much about the later Chrysler 8.25 axles in these XJ's but if you can find an XJ Dana-44 rear for cheap, that would be an easy upgrade. I currently have one under my '91 YJ and have another in my shed. Or with a small amount of work just swap in a Ford 8.8 from an Explorer. Or just throw some money at it and install Dana-60's.

I Think I would be happy watching xj's and rx7"s all day!!!

[@ConnorRonan11]

Damn... Nelson on the come up! Looks fire.

[@FloydtheFlamingo]

best staff inspection yet. more staff inspections please. this XJ is killer. XJs and Wagoneer are the best jeeps.

[@hvy1ton]

99% sure Brad says Staph Infection. 5:20

[@TheHoonigans]

Oh, he definitely calls it that. Very often.

[@benshepherd8632]

at 5:48 too hahaha

[@Ghostsoulless]

That’s the joke.

[@SK-yn6tq]

and 8:54 .....

[@WolfKingJS54]

I have a Black 1999 Jeep Cherokee XJ with a 3 inch lift and 31s. It’s cool to see you guys doing one

[@noahdickerson3525]

Get c clip eliminators for the rear so when you break an axle the tires don’t come out of the wheel well, you’d have to regear it front and rear to run 35s but you could (obviously there is a high possibility your axles will blow up still) since you don’t have limited slips, you’d want to throw those in as well. I drive a 92 XJ n I love it on 33s with a 4 and a half inch lift, but I’m going to go 35s with a Ford 8.8 in the rear to make sure I’m not just snapping axles all the time. But I’m not a desert racer guy I’m more into the rock crawling scene. Hope the build goes well maybe we’ll see more of the Jeep in the future?

[@NootchMurphy]

I think you need to have @CaseyCurrie deliver a set of axles and come visit. Help give the XJ a little love.

[@LittleDevilGarage]

Cherokee looks sick, actually makes me miss my old girl a bit!! Can’t wait to see some more of the build down the road!!!

[@justgents]

when Brad says STAFF INFECTION hahahaha

[@JacuzziSurfer]

Brad knows his stuff. 100% down with Brad-ology!

[@erwinderoo]

That disclaimer tho hahaha. Good of you guys to put that in there. Was just about to use Bradology on my Fiesta.

[@BIllMcCambridge]

Nice ride Nellie. Loved the scumbagged baby Send off dock ha ha!!

[@terra-crew]

⚡️💀⚡️

[@xmodcrazy]

Xj on hoonigan!? My prayers have been answered

[@cyrtroy]

Bad daddy brad out here scumbagging Nelson out of a quick payday with that cat lmao

[@samarkell785]

Thanks for putting out entertaining content every day guys, Brad is becoming one of my favorite people.

[@DoomGoon138]

I've built a couple Cherokees, and currently doing a Comanche! These vehicles are super capable and budget friendly. Just make sure to keep an eye on the temp gauge with this one! 00-01 Had a different casting for the heads that make it prone to crack, but you can swap heads from 95-99 onto it.

[@ironwolph]

Hell yea brad!! Cant belive home boy went off the dock lol

[@ddrod1]

Sketch Daddy Brad... blowing out holes since '76 😎

[@adamrhymer878]

That’s the shortest “long arm” setup I’ve ever seen 😂

[@heathsmith2956]

Brad Daddy the front is a dana 30 Just saying.

[@Shreddiespaghetti]

Never thought I'd see you guys do a jeep xj video. I like it.

[@LurkMoar101]

Should have just done a full send off the dock. Less damage.

[@chair362]

the front end into the container might have been a slight bit worse.

[@chrisnewman8918]

That amount of hooning with a short arm would've totaled the jeep and had the front tires looking cambergang

[@dethdeks]

that D30 woulda folded like a taco on landing if he went full send

[@airizonaforu]

I love brads content lol

[@tomwilliams6401]

YESSSSS ANOTHER VIDEO. Loving the recent videos and content dudes. Can't wait for the M3 to be finished so Danger Dan can send it!

[@danielantoniozd26]

EVERYONE LOVES JEEP CONTENT

[@kalogias]

"Today in staff infection" I love you Brad, one of the best additions to the team.

[@ashtonanderson4932]

Beautiful 😍. A built XJ is my dream

[@Toyotarunner13]

You guys are doing a wide range of cars and trucks keep the videos coming! Thats what the New shop in Texas.. is Rock Crawler Garage!!😂😂

[@StefanThePro]

Breakfast with Brad!

[@keegzorr1140]

I just got myself a 1990 XJ. Already got my 6 inch lift on it but still got alot to do on it.

[@chieftron]

God bless Brad's heart. But damn that disclaimer at 6:24 lol. Too Savage.

[@dirtyd1886]

33s that's rookie numbers in this firm. You need to bump those numbers up

[@deflectingannihilation3086]

I want some more companies to hook our man up and get it running even better! Congrats on the new wheels and lift!

[@reddyuda]

YES!! So excited.... As a longtime XJ owner I hope you do more build episodes with this rig. Show these damn millennials what a dependable and capable chassis the XJ is. Do a turbo build! Super simple, use a split-second controller and 7th injector for extra fuel and rock the stock motor till it goes boom (probably never since its a Jeep Straight 6). Or swap in a 2j because... Inline 6 after all

[@harrimannn]

Bradology should be it's own show

[@williambailey309]

I love when non jeep guys get a Jeep to work on. They said they were putting long arm suspension on it and I was getting excited... the lift isn’t long arm. Still ridiculously cool. Also that exhaust is gonna get hit by the axle at some point..

[@freddyhidding3378]

That beat is hard AF

[@marckilpatrick]

Best brad vid , (short arm kit is worse to look at then vins head)

[@projectj3494]

Great job on those fenders........

[@cineskies114]

Very infectious episode! HAHA

[@senorpickle4207]

My old mate is gonna love this haha

[@jackbaur18]

So he was serious when he said "off the dock." lol, hilarious.

[@HowCanSheSlp]

Whoever edits these videos really has it in for Brad. 😂

[@claudemaggard7162]

I like that build.

[@baelm]

My XJ used to be my third vehicle, currently my only one. I figure with how healthy it's kicking at 200k I'm just going to keep it for a long ass time to save money for another car. Replaced seals front to rear among some other minor things working at a dealership and it came with a new lift but it's Rough Country so I might have to switch to this Rubicon Express.

[@finngar]

Hey Brad, I have used those ballance beads in my racelines on my Jeep and they suck. The beads are so small that they stick to the tire via static electricity, or something, even when it stops rolling. So the tires never reballance. I use 12oz of airsoft BBs in each tire. Been running this set up for years. Plus the BBs are way cheaper.

[@ALVIN1920]

"This is a bad idea, whatever send it" Is the real meaning of: "It's a jeep thing, you wouldn't understand"

[@figo2992]

Love that xj, Thanks for the great videos

[@trevorirvine1457]

I think a series about brad going to a welding school would be cool

[@HenzPowell]

Best Content on youtube!

[@thejacksonmurphy]

I was going to say he needs to widen those flares in the back, halfway there after that dock launch. Nice.

[@alecfleming373]

I had a friend and we did his XJ via junk yard. He bought new tires so not including those it was $350 total for a 4" lift. He still runs the same setup with a 33 tire and its been like 5 years. Jeeps are forever.

[@alecfleming373]

Oh and gassing that last bit of the dock was a good idea! Just like cutting larger openings in the back will be too! Wouldn't want to wreak a nice tire cutting it would we?

[@bosco1985]

So, some misinformation. Dude says you'll bend your Dana 30 housing and break your axles with 35s. Incorrect. I ran 35s on a Dana 30 for years. Never broke an axle or had any problem with gears. I ran lunchbox lockers too.

[@MrJayArt]

Right I'm running fuckin 39.5s, 4 years going, never broke a thing

[@huntercromwell7620]

My first day of school is tomorrow but gotta stay up for Hoonigan!

[@TheHoonigans]

👊

[@adambrown7741]

Those balance beads work pretty well. Used them on my old m/t tires that wouldn’t stay balanced with the standard way of weights on the rim. They actually balance really well

[@evancarter3648]

Needs an 8.8 swap, actual long arms cause that's still a short arm lift. Truss the d30, stinkyfab OTK steering and OTA trackbar kit and send it on. I rock crawl my longarmed comanche locked f&r with stock front shafts and have had zero issues. I'd love to see more jeep stuff though!

[@evancarter3648]

Also throw the rear swaybar away, it's not needed haha

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

Love this stuff. Hoping to some jcr stuff myself!

[@bastiaanbarteling5907]

I really like these types of video's, keep it going!!

[@dielauwen]

Brad could go on tour as a standup comedian. He is a plumber doing mech-a- nic work and a grill master. I guess he works for fun. Make yer own steering linkage if you don't like whats there Brad. Change the rear axles for non spaghetti units. finally feed the cat. He is inspecting.

[@remembermorrison]

Everyone loves XJs!

[@jarred9193]

10:25 "Brad can't edit, Brad can barely spell." Lol 😆

[@wayneyork5819]

Brad is #clubxj approved for sure

[@WelcomeToTheMadness]

😂...Build it and moments later, break it. Celebrate. 😂

[@Schives841]

Yolo ! you only left one hahaha

[@busterthief7415]

When y’all go to the Baja 1000 again you guys should take this Jeep and the buggy again 👌🏽

[@Vashtorical]

Is brad a metal head? I'm pretty sure I hear scream-o in the beginning. Even more approval!

[@TheHoonigans]

Nah, but Nelson is. He used to tour with some metal bands.

[@Vashtorical]

Hmm, didnt know! But that's still rad!

[@Bgjohnson941]

Bad daddy Braddy ..... short arm kit?!

[@dakota.zimmerman]

I thought Brad was joking when he said he didn't know much about Jeeps lol. Dana 35 is not the front axle, its the rear axle on older XJs and MJs and those are the crappy ones. The 97+ Jeeps like this one have the C8.25 axle, which is about as strong as a Dana 44. Dana 30 front axles on all of them are pretty decent as well and that Jeep could hold 35s, maybe not being thrashed like you guys do though. 33s are probably the safe choice.

[@AnthonyBarbuto]

I love this xj

[@Luckyschmuck]

Not digging through comments deep enough to see if anyone beat me to it but Baddaddybraddy that's a short arm lift home slice!

[@thatswhatshesaid3406]

Oh damn... we didn’t even realize.

[@timpaugh6343]

Over under steering, lunch box locker, axle tube housing braces, snorkel, winch, s10 gear box is a really big up grade bolt factory, just a few upgrades it needs. Then it maybe close.
