Pull-A-Part Cheap Jeep Challenge SHOWDOWN XJ vs ZJ!

The Pull-A-Part Cheap Jeep Challenge BleepinJeep vs Busted Knuckle brought to you by Tekton Tools has been awesome and it is finally time to see how these Cheap Jeep Builds stack up! We started out by spending $2000 on each cheap jeep. A Jeep Cherokee XJ for me and a Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ for Bleepie. Then we had the remaining $3k to spend on aftermarket parts. I chose to spend my money on suspension and bleepinjeep chose to spend his on built axles. We finished our cherokee builds up and met at Windrock Park in Oliver Springs, Tennessee for the final showdown. You will be as surprised as we were at how well these cheap jeep cherokees performed. Stay tuned to find out who wins and where we are taking them next!

you need the front locker,it pulls the rear up..

[@danc.452]

Getting up that ledge on 3 wheel drive was unbelievable! Great job.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

It was make it or break it for me.

[@danc.452]

@@BustedKnuckleVideo hell yeah! Send it. Also, is that RCV deal just for BK or can I call Ricky and ask if they got axles that are returned?

[@boar211]

Love seeing an XJ on the trails. I picked up a 98 XJ for 1500 this year. Got a locker for the rear and have plans for this winter. It's nice to see what can be done on a budget.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

they are crazy capable for the money

[@grenobel]

That XJ took that ass whooping and threw Bleepy the finger on almost every obstacle! Great vid!

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

It works so well!

[@d2nim2l]

Disabled Air Force veteran here, and I want that red one! It would be so great to take the wife and daughter out in the desert in to get a break from the current situation. But both of these Jeeps are sweet. Thanks for the great wheeling content, and thanks to all those guys for helping to make the competition happen. I can't wait to see more!

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

stay tuned to find out how to win one.

[@d2nim2l]

@@BustedKnuckleVideo Thanks. I'll be watching

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

@@d2nim2l 👍👍👍

[@Chipscarsandcoffee]

I can’t believe y’all made it up that last rock face, I was surprised when bleepy made it but was really surprised when you made it in 3 wheel drive lol I’m really enjoying these videos that y’all are putting out keep up the good work!

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Thanks I had to make it or break it ok that last one!

[@geoffreyneish7999]

Great end to a wicked series!! Both builds were extremely impressive, I think it comes down to driver technic, and for one vehicle to tackle the narliest final challenge in 3 wheel drive , well that says it all to me!!!! 😉 Thanks again for such an entertaining series of vids!! 😎

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Stay tuned Moab is next!

[@kevinjennings4924]

I've walked up to the last obstacle and declared it to be a buggy trail! Now I realize that I'm just chicken***t !

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Haha! We made it look pretty easy

[@nicholasbaldwin1674]

We need to start playing this when we go out on the trails LOL J.E.E.P. great videos, great series!

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Not a bad idea!

[@FullSendFarm]

I have to say after building a one ton jeep I really have more fun in a basic jeep doing stuff I know I shouldn't over crawling through stuff and upset when I dont make it.. Its always more fun to root for the underdog!!

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Beater Cherokees ftw!

[@FullSendFarm]

@@BustedKnuckleVideo the kids always get mad at me when I dont wanna take the wrangler on 42s out but take the xj with 31s and a welded rear to play but they don't understand the rush the challenge of making something in "nothing" that you never should have had in that spot to begin with lol

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

I am with you on that, I have gone from a rock bouncer to a JK on 37s to a cherokee on 35s and you can guess which one is the most fun to wheel.

[@FullSendFarm]

@@BustedKnuckleVideo sometimes its the little things we thought was holding us back on the trail that was what made it so fun to begin with!

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

these cherokees on 35s is where it is at!

[@GoatOffroad]

Absolutely loving this series!! Unbelievable what that XJ can do with lunchbox up front and open rear! And HP 30’s don’t get enough credit. I friken love my XJ. I’m fully locked front and rear ARB’s, Chrome Molly’s and trussed and she is a little goat. ❤️🐞

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

They are crazy capable no doubt about it. I am a believer in the HP30 now as well and that 8.25 is legit as well when you weld it well enough

[@andrewtharrett9125]

Wow!! I can't wait to get my XJ finished!This made my decision about the rusty's long arm kit!

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

It works great!

[@spunkymcfly]

Awesome can't believe everything these 2 did!! I'll be on these trails this weekend in my 1ton xj

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

They did crazy good!

[@crsgarage4725]

That’s the beauty of an old Jeep. They just don’t know when to stop and it’s amazing what a guy can rig up to get them going to make it home. Time to goto Moab and settle it. 😁

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Moab will be awesome.

[@piebear49]

Cherp Jeeps for the win!!! Running buggy trails, & driving it home! BAD ASS!!!

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

we had so much fun with these

[@beau7160]

great time watching. laughed a lot over all the rule changes. like kids on the playground. having fun is what it's all about.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

We had a blast despite the judges changing rules constantly for their own entertainment 🤣

[@timzimmer2686]

Love watching you guys go head to head, keep making great videos and building budget friendly rigs!

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

More to come!

[@FMJeeping]

I love the challenge. The XJ is so underated. I had blast watching you two guys give each other crap and send the budget rigs through a great park. Keep it up

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Always a good time wheeling with this crew

[@FMJeeping]

@@BustedKnuckleVideo I'd love to wheel with you guys some day

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

come on out, bleepie does fan rides and we plan on doing one soon

[@FMJeeping]

Amazing little Cherokee!! Wow, 3 wheel and all!

Great job to both you guys. I’m a fan of the Cherokees but both rigs were impressive. Looking forward to even more.

Too much fun

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Right on!

[@johnlambert6819]

Brings back great memories of my first vehicle, an 85 XJ, it was so under powered it wasn’t even funny, but momentum usually got me where I wanted to go.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

The newer models don’t lack for power 💪

[@andreipretorius92]

Awesome video! Love Cherokees! Amazing how you can just have such a tight budget and build such a rock crawler. I honestly can’t decide which one is better. Love both of them. But the xj is such a classic but that zj looks so good! Both are keepers in my book! Great job guys! Enjoy.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

I totally agree!

[@ridecommand423]

I ride in south East Tennessee and their are almost as many Cherokee based vehicles as SXS’S. Great content guys. Great to see Ian out there.

Great video guys man you guys make the older jeeps not look like a pile of junk.. By the way the way you guys hook them up they look really clean not over the top but looks good and very functional.

Goes to show how important front lockers are! Amazing challenge guys. Keep it up.

[@bryanhersman4037]

Cool series. I do think this makes a good point for front locker first. If your front locker had failed instead of the rear you wouldn't have made it as far and you would have had less control while doing it. There are only a few times where a locked rear and an open front do better than a locked front and open rear. Plus with the rear most times you can get away with a good factory posi.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

I am more of a fan of open front and locked rear, but that is just my preference if I had to choose. I have done some crazy trails with an open front (leaky ARB)
