Overland Jeep Build! - Grand Cherokee WJ

[@SkinnyWaterVibes]

I love my Swamper rear bumper with the tire carrier. I’ll be by this week to grab the front bumper.

[@Amarillobymorning777]

Wow . Exelent rig . Got the same tool box in “ hoss” 01 WJ 4.0 L 160 k Greetings from North Texas

[@officialWWM]

That bumper is cool!

[@soundboydesign1373]

2000 wj here....playa! Good job

[@tylerdubois9020]

Great build, also thanks for not making it into a 20 minute video but being quick and concise!

[@ickyiceful]

I know it might cost a little but a supercharger and a small pulley and transmission stall converter would really fucking pump that build to the next level you can make good numbers of boost just head studs good gaskets and valve springs and a proper tune

[@robinjohanssonmdh]

Amazing build! One of the best WJs ive seen. Love the colour too.

[@edjonatchick]

Awesome job, Brother.

[@GoliathOffRoad]

Thank you!

[@thooper989]

How does this only have a few hundred views and one comment?! This rig is beautiful and well balanced. It’s been featured in a freaking magazine! This thing should be viral by now lol

[@roadsideguy5902]

That thing is awesome bro!

[@darrenbishop4327]

Very nice. Don’t forget or neglect to do your brake flushes. It makes a huge difference when stopping, especially from highway speeds. Also, if you are running stock suspension consider installing polyurethane sway bar bushings and links. Last but not least, install new bump stops front and rear.

[@JF32304]

I'm looking for a 4.7 HO and want to go a T-case swap for a select-trac and do a 6 inch lift. Edit: nice build!!

[@MHeXtreme442]

Greetings from Australia 👋, brilliant build and thanks for sharing. Suspension wise this is exactly how I plan to build mine.

[@GoliathOffRoad]

Hey mate! The suspension works great! Go for it.

[@teddyrascal6305]

Straight to the point. Great video, super nice wj. Its very clean when you look under it. That raised gas tank... most excellent.

[@GoliathOffRoad]

We are glad you like it. Look forward to more videos. We just finished a pretty nice WJ build, which will make an appearance on the channel soon.

[@GoliathOffRoad]

That's awesome!

[@rubenpinopalencia9254]

It's very nice the excellent suspension truck all the modifications you made is excellent the only thing I don't like is that that 6-cylinder model would be better an 4.7 8-cylinder engine

[@dandreabush6221]

Want mine like this but white or Gray so car doesn’t get hot.

[@GoliathOffRoad]

Look forward to next videos. We have a grey one that we just finished. It will make an appearance on the channel soon!

@@GoliathOffRoad my 2000 wj saved my life from a gang member who shot it 11 times. One hit me and I just got out of the hospital 5 days ago. These jeeps are built so well I even if there old.

[@vincearmstrong5654]

Great lookin' WJ! I really like your suspension set up. I'm a fan of Bilsteins. Love my inline six, too! Think I'm gonna go with a winch plate instead of a ginormous bumper, at least at first.

[@GoliathOffRoad]

Go for it!

Thank you, James!

[@jvida405]

awesome

[@crivera530]

What a beautiful rig

[@michaelrizzo5492]

Nice Jeep. I still have the one I bought from you. I haven modified it at all. But it seems you all did some things to it. The flex is insane. I haven’t even put in the front drive shaft. It is currently being used in my business . Just recently it developed death wobble. The bushings in the control arms are new. Ive had this WJ for 3 years i think. Maybe its time for the front end mods. Great jeep. I am looking for a JK unlimited basket case. I have a build I’m wanting to do.

[@seriusrod]

HAHA... You managed to not picture the tire size. X) BTW, did you said Wrangler JL rims, or JK? Can't hear it well and subs don't have a clue. :)

[@GoliathOffRoad]

The tires are 285/70r17 (33”) and the wheels are from Jeep Wrangler JL rubicon.

[@seriusrod]

@@GoliathOffRoad Thank you very much. 👍🏻 Nice build btw. Congratulations. I hope it lasts you. Mine is diesel and there's no good diesel engine ok jeeps. There are always problems.

Beautiful work man, congratulations. Would you mind providing me more details about what you did with the steering wheel? Thank you!

Thanks!

[@juliorosas-cortes424]

what about a 4.0L? i men obviously you get more power but would it still be a good choice? Light overlanding trails, nothing too agressive?

[@juliorosas-cortes424]

4:18:00 answered my question. lol

[@GoliathOffRoad]

It's a good engine. The power is not like in the V8, but it gets the job done.

[@klarqesebekra]

Hey man how did you do the hood graphics? Also do you have a link for those rock sliders? Thanks!

[@GoliathOffRoad]

We taped up the design, and painted the hood and grille along with the rest of the body panels in black raptor liner. Rock sliders: goliathoffroad.com/products/jeep-grand-cherokee-wj-rock-sliders-angled-steps

[@flugjung]

I loved your build. What mileage do you get with those tyres and all the setup?

[@GoliathOffRoad]

It's hard to say, we never actually calculated that. The computer showed 18 on the highway and around 13/14 in the city.

[@eldevors]

Super sick, where did u order the bumpers

[@seanboogie10]

Best build I've seen, but can someone explain how this is an "Overland" with a 4.0 V6?

[@GoliathOffRoad]

It was already explained in previous comments. Title of the video indicates that it is an overland/expedition build, not overland version of the jeep WJ.

[@kdigiacomo]

That's not a V6, it's an inline 6 4.0

[@Cha0sC0re]

Your WJ looks great!

[@GoliathOffRoad]

To build a car like this, about $15,000 if you do everything yourself and get a cheap base to start with.

[@Catboy-hr2qp]

What size tires on that? I don't think it was ever mentioned?

There is no fender flares on this jeep. The arch is painted with raptor liner.

[@gusgarzon6811]

it looks very good I will do the same on my jeep, thank you

[@nate4036]

What model overland you get the gauges from? Seats appear to be 02-03. I used a 2003 Overland cluster in my 2004 and the fog light indicator doesn’t work, does yours?

[@GoliathOffRoad]

We used everything from one donor vehicle. I believe it was 2003.

[@brucewhite7069]

That's a bad machine

[@pvpmedicsgaming]

You using wheel spacers?

[@GoliathOffRoad]

Yes, we used, I believe, 1.5" spacers. Factory JL wheels have a lot of positive offset and the tires rub on control arms if not used with spacers. O rat least in our case.

[@trashpanda9542]

Same year jeep i got but don't dare to put this much money into it because it's always in the shop

[@turbolq4]

Did you pull that D44a out of another rig or was it an option for the i6 Laredo trim?

[@DavidSanchez-ib4ft]

The dana 44a was only available for the V8 wj's. If he pulled it from a standard v8 it would have 3.73-1 gears which helps with the bigger tires. If he pulled it from an 4.7 HO it would have 3.91-1 gears. I own both models.

[@turbolq4]

@@DavidSanchez-ib4ft I've never heard of the 3.91 gearing option. Was under the impression that all the V8 WJ rigs had 3.73. do you know if they had a non veriloc axle option with those gears?

[@DavidSanchez-ib4ft]

@@turbolq4 Not that I'm aware of. It was only for the 4.7HO Overland model, and they only came with the Vari-lock axle. I have 2 sets of vari- locks and 1 open set. I plan on moving the 3.91 set to my open carrier and putting in an issue locker in the front while keeping the Vari-lock in the rear. I swapped out my 247 for a 242WJ so I have the 2wd option.

[@DavidSanchez-ib4ft]

This is the wj bible if you ever need it. This link is to the HO model chances including the gears. www.wjjeeps.com/ho_engine.htm

[@GoliathOffRoad]

The front end is out of an overland model and the rear end is out of a regular V8 WJ. Hope that helps! :)

[@ussalabamadixie]

Does the long arm setup have decent road manners?

[@maciejmichalecki4316]

No body roll, with the rear geometry it doesn’t dive or squat when starting or stopping. Also huge amount of flex.

Just curious, im new to Jeep. How can you spot the difference between an Overland and a ''Standard'' Grand Cherokee?

[@Mo63H]

@@Cristo_Redentor Overlands come with 17 inch rims, (Limited's and Laredo's usually have 16 inch rims) Overlands have rock rails on the sides, and next to the "Grand Cherokee" emblem on the doors, it has the "Overland" emblem. Overlands also have the Up Country suspension package, and sit about 2 inches higher than GC's that don't have the UC package.

Overland is a type of build and what he does with it, he uses it for overlanding. Not the overland stock wj
