JEEP - Just Empty Every Pocket. Hard to stay cheap on a Jeep but they are fun.

[@randycane5894]

Harlan is awesome, I am dragging my beater XJ down there next month

[@4x4adventure_pl]

The Jeep Cherokee XJ's offroading skills in this video are nothing short of spectacular. A true offroad warrior!

[@jeremymardlin5381]

I love my 2001 XJ 4.0 turbo build. Had a little mishap about a month ago . Getting it all back together now.

[@RogueOverlanders]

I need more!!!!!! I love this build

[@mattdesruisseau82]

So, what did you guys get for horsepower after the manifold, and exhaust add ons?

[@AJ-jy6lb]

Have you ever found an answer to that question? I'm still curious, but just recently watched this for the first time, so,..... Just wonderin'. I've looked, but can't find the next episode of this build,.. if there is one.

[@MRHSDM316SD18186]

"JEEP" is an acronym for "Just Empty Every Pocket"

[@renc3920]

Fellow British Columbian here! And yes, it's absolutely gorgeous there, just as it is here.

[@jimmyford271]

I went with the Detroit TrueTrac in my 8.8 works great and it’s street friendly.

[@scavenom2008]

I have it on my front diff on a jeep tj and its simplicity and low maintenance make them bullet proof. As long as the wheel doesnt lift in the air is all good and on the jeeps the flex is pretty damn good

[@ImTheJoker4u]

I like that little grinder/hole saw stand👍

[@DeformedDevices]

This has been a fantastic build. Keep it going guys. Love watching this.

[@clydebalcom8252]

I'm loving the engine sound. It's definitely a huge improvement.

[@chelseajones2082]

I live in Hyden Kentucky which is the small town you go thru to get to Harlan we've got some awesome trails here as well great scenery and trails to suit any level of experience. Pretty awesome to see y'all was close to my neck of the woods

[@doranvee5944]

Love these Jeeps! Good solutions. Thanks

[@moparlifene]

That grand cherokee buggy is dope🔥👌

[@jayyoutube8790]

I’ve never been a fan of Jeep as a “daily driver”…. But with a few mods (brush guards, lights and 33”) they are sweet machines. Look awesome too

[@tjsilverjones]

When's the next episode coming with the upgraded intake and dyno pulls?

[@v8felon]

Another sweet build love this channel

[@JonBecker81]

Pretty awesome for not having lockers. I love watching people with LSD or even open diff getting through stuff like this. It really shows you what a good driver looks like.

[@MrJoshItIs]

One of the boys in my Jeep club has a similarly built TJ but with open diffs. I am fully locked. He has shown me up multiple times on hard obstacles and it just goes to show his decade plug of seat time versus me only having a couple years makes a difference. It just motivates me to keep learning and watching.

[@tomashton1781]

I would to see you guys do some stuff with a four banger YJ (2.5) with the throttle body fuel injection system with the leaf spring s

[@regsparkes6507]

Yes that exhaust note is really nice,.but you should hear the rumble from a set pf dual Clifford headers on an in-line 6 1979 CJ-7 ( bone stock engine )

[@donziperk]

My sons xj 4.0 with a comp cam, 10:1 comp ratio and headers sounds great with a magnaflow oval.

[@clydebalcom8252]

Beautiful scenery.

[@johnjames2715]

That's brave, considering you'll never leave Harlan alive.

[@nate4036]

He just had to mention Tellico. I was there every weekend for 3-4yrs. I miss it badly

[@dciresearch8281]

You built that jeep just right. Great video also.

[@Paiadakine]

Those grand chickadees look good chopped.

[@_chipchip]

That slider did it's job!

[@israelcardona5170]

Going on the trail is considered breaking miles?

[@87bjackson]

Man I'd kill for this whole build to be done on my xj...

[@ty_thejeepguy]

Hoping to find a way to reach out to these guys! Currently have THE budget stroker in my garage. Waiting on a soft rebuild and swapping it in!

[@bigredracer7848]

66👍's up guys thanks again for taking us all along with you for the great show

[@bigredracer7848]

I'm building a 6.7 l LS motor out of a lq4 6 l and I was wondering what injector should I run in it the stock injectors are 38 lb should I get bigger ones

[@jeffm234]

Is the episode out yet where they dyno after installing the new TB, header and intake?

[@sticrzy123]

185 shoot mine doesn’t get warmed up till 200 lol

[@ColoradoMoe]

Looks like fun!

[@AW-xv7dq]

FROM B.C? Would have never guessed.

[@rogermarshall8991]

2011 JK 3.8 V-6. What's out there for improvement support ?????

[@chuckalexander987]

I heard that intake is worth 20 Hp.

[@ThePaulv12]

In 4x4s there's a good case for fully floating rear ends. In a full floater the axle only has to handle torque and the axle housing takes the weight. If you break an axle (which is far less likely since there's no direct weight on it) then you can drive home on the front diff and still winch out with all four wheels still in tact. Toyota Landcruisers esp the FJs nearly all of the 1970 onward had fully floating rear ends and axle breakage was pretty rare.

[@rohitter7878]

How much bigger is the 91 to 95 jeep Cherokee throttle body than the 97 to 01?? Also why change out the pulley and power steering too??

[@mattcorey2784]

2:44 washout? hell around here that's just the entrance.

[@stevochris2939]

Wish my jeep would be running 185 too...

[@saulhonoret6596]

What's is the blue cherokee color code?

[@buckbuck9225]

Since when did rain keep mosquitoes away?

[@rogermarshall8991]

Right, it's a dierect invite for them.!!!!!

[@troyyarbrough]

What happened to the upgrades and a 3rd trip to the dyno video?

[@sticrzy123]

What rock guard are you using on the blue XJ ?

[@mccartneystuart]

How those homemade bump stops work out?

[@Revnahead957]

what gear set are you running on this XJ?

[@crashtke]

Wish you guys had followed up a bit more with the engine build.

[@brucewells7754]

Where's the update on new output numbers 🤔

[@hondamanusa]

Hell yeah

[@bigotonbrand]

Man i miss my white 97 cherokee

[@hondafreak8613]

What do u guys do with all the vehicles you guys build?

[@bmstylee]

They get sold on eventually to pay for other projects.

[@willriccio7524]

Kevin, where in B.C. are you from?

[@Pilgrum]

Wish I could turn my 2000 wj into this

[@alexandersimcox2079]

Nothings stopping you, it won't exactly be an xj or a wrangler, but a wj can be nearly as badass with almost as much aftermarket!

[@a456987]

Didn't know Kevin is from Canada

[@Craptastic760]

I think this engine "upgrade" has cost about $7000 at this point, and is still no better than when the engine was new.

[@westlos13]

How tall is that lift??????

[@kkingquad]

Try Pony Hill or the Lions Den!

[@anthonywasham7304]

Not first so close

[@kc8mwt]

did that Cheap thing ever get Dyno'd???

[@DrVaults]

4.0 designed by AMC.

[@AndyFromm]

Last 😎

[@asalkomen6477]

JOS KOE LEK

[@christiansmith200]

You come to my neck of the woods and don't invite me! Shame...

[@dano4572]

stock front axle and power steering!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jackrockholt2823]

it been far from cheap

[@Tomekkplk]

Doesn't the dude mean 98 XJ? not 88 XJ?

[@IanZuczuski]

Budget LOL you don't keep on a budget for anything

[@denitriono254]

3rd

[@dandahermitseals5582]

Hahaha. Designed by jeep??

[@saimhaim]

Paid promotion... Just feels like long add. Same issue with truck u. Revamp.

[@johnmirbach2338]

😁✌🖖👌👍 😎

[@scrapyardbuilder1989]

I hate the way these hosts all have the same voice and cadence of speaking. Just talk like a normal person already.

[@RonSales]

Know of anyone willing to build a hard frame to go under a 96 Cherokee sport 4 cyl 5 speed 2 wheel drive one of these please contact me in Zion Il. or if someone is looking to buy a project jeep Cherokee ran and drove when parked.

[@jeremymardlin5381]

I love my 2001 XJ 4.0 turbo build. Had a little mishap about a month ago . Getting it all back together now.
