BEAUTIFUL, IT RUNS BETTER THIS TIME! JEEPS ARE GREAT.

[@hurricanemitch9229]

They are, but I don’t know if Scotty Kilmer would agree.

[@bradleymeyer9775]

Those 4.0L In-line 6 cylinder engine are pretty good engines, however that person who owns that Jeep treated it terribly which is how it ended up like a pice of junk.

That engine sound is awesome!

Probably the most stylish Jeep ever made unlike some of the monstrosities Jeep sell here in Australia nowadays. Still very popular here and easy to get parts. Very much under rated.

[@johnpa2006]

Getting an older car working and purring like this is great. The next owner will have a great ride on their hands ! Hope they enjoy it !

[@GDOGROOLZ1]

I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SEE THE DAY THAT THIS CAR WOULD START!!!!!

[@firealarm421]

Awesome job Kyle. The Jeep sure sounds better than ever. Keep up the great videos.

[@DrewsLair]

Hope the person who has it now takes very good care of it, that poor jeep deserves it.

[@janetprendergast4760]

We have a 2001 and 2002 and both are still going strong. Ours are 4WD both in the 130,000 mile range. We keep the maintenance up on both. I am very attached to mine and it was so sad to see and hear how bad the one in your video was. I can't believe people can do this to a vehicle. I am so glad you persevered and got this beauty up and running. It's beautiful and looks and sounds new. I hope whoever has it now is taking care of it.

[@pskittle488]

Good to see her finally put back together properly. I hope she find a good home now. I have a '99 with 76,000 miles and runs like a top. I think the only thing I'd change is maybe install a little bit softer suspension. The area I live has some rough roads and you definitely feel some of the bumps. I do wish I had that stereo head unit. Mine doesn't have the in-dash CD, but it does have the 10 disc changer in the rear. It's also 4X4.

So nice to see it up and running again, poor Jeep has been through hell and back. It's sad when people can't take care of their vehicles, my mom had a 2002/2003 Grand Cherokee and she loved it. But I'm glad it's back alive and running strong, hopefully the next owner will take good care of it.

Sad to see the last update video on the Jeep. That 'ol Jeep has been like family the last 3 or so years. Thanks for the update!

[@kennethatchison9219]

I am so proud of you for posting a test drive video of the Jeep Grand Cherokee. How nice of you. Jeeps are nice. They run good.

[@firealarm421]

Is the transmission brand new or rebuilt?

[@antiqueelectronics2462]

Maybe rebuilt

[@jeepguy95]

I found Kyle's channel back in 2009 when he first got started on KZbin, and this Jeep was the reason why I found his channel. I've been watching all the videos Kyle's made on this Jeep, and am so glad to see it back on the road again! (:

[@MusicM4trix]

Im getting a car for graduation. I realized i wanted an SUV, but there is nothing like a Jeep. I test drove one of the these the other day and i love it!!! the ride quality is amazing, the four wheel drive was amazing, and the engine note is great to listen to!! I was trying to decide between this or a liberty, but just looking at the two i know i want a Cherokee! I can't wait for mine!!

[@FH99]

That is probably the best that Jeep has looked in years. I hope whoever buys it gives it a good home.

[@mrkzj2]

wow I remember this Jeep the first time you made a video of it, what a long time it's been. The shifter is a common problem on these, I've done four at my work. Jeep released a TSB and updated shifter/cable assembly because they all go bad eventually. And dude I miss these kinds of videos in this "format". Casual, unscripted, no cuts no edits.

[@arizonaelevatorsandmore2778]

Have you seen this Jeep at all since this video?

[@hassanallan-cz3ux]

Oh , my dad used to have it in 2016. It was my favorite car and it was the same year of this and I still love these cars and I was only one when he had this and then after that, he sold it in like 2018 and got Toyota Avalon it was gold so that’s why I loved it and then after that he got a truck and sold his Avalon and we moved to a house that’s way bigger and two this day he still has his truck

[@volnick1986]

this car deserves a new loving owner!

[@billysepf74]

A big transformation, good on you Kyle for never giving up on this car!

[@Noah-M-P]

It’s hard to believe it’s the same vehicle! This is my favorite generation of the Grand Cherokee, it’s super reliable like the previous generation with the 4 liter, inline 6 cylinder engine

[@AveMaria82100]

I first watched your video where you tried to drive it with a blown engine and that video was so sad. It was painful to watch. I am so glad you got it fixed and running well again.

[@johnny-cc4in]

I've had three jeeps. I got rid of one of these 7 years ago. I saw one on a used car lot today. Test drove it. Idol speed a little high, then went down and up? 142,000 for $3,000. I might go get it next week. The perfect model jeep even now, I think.

[@jeepguy95]

Just bought a 2002 Grand Cherokee Laredo last month, optioned the same way as this one but with the SelecTrac 4WD system, and a power driver's seat, but it is pretty much the same, and I love it! Gotta love your straight six Jeep engine! (:

[@dwarakaadusumalli8858]

1:35 I like that startup

[@firealarm421]

Awesome. When the transmission was replaced was it a new or rebuilt?

[@ndtubedude15]

Kyle I love you for keeping up with this Jeep and showing it some love. Im a huge fan of these Grand Cherokee's and always loved seeing it on your channel since the first vid. If anything should happen to it again please post it! Thanks :)

The Jeep lives on!! It's a nice car when everything on it works correctly! Lol. I REALLY hope this poor Jeep goes to a good owner that will take really good car of it. That Inline 6 has a lot of life left in it, bulletproof engine to say the least. I'm glad it was only a switch that prevented it from starting. Not many other cars could survive as much neglect as this Grand Cherokee has! Thank you Kyle for posting this video and keep up the fantastic work!

[@kingtyty5]

wow it has been 3 years since the first video. So congratulations to you saabkyle04. And keep up the good work

[@Lanier3000]

When I first subscribed to the channel I watched the videos on this particular Jeep. Cherokees are a favorite of mine, so it was very sad hearing about someone just essentially trashing the vehicle. I'll be glad to see it go, hopefully to someone who will actually take care of it. I've got a 1999 Nissan Sentra with over 180,000 miles on it running just as good! Take care of what you drive, it'll reward you in the end. : )

[@kyle51895]

@iSsquared It was also a two time repossession which means it got probably zero care from 130k-160k miles from the first owner. That's a good way to kill an engine, even a Japanese one.

[@SharpStuff112]

You made me happy when you mentioned that awesome fox that drive by.

[@StreetersGarage]

Kyle - You should make a detailing video of your products and the process that you use.

[@Ucfhall]

Ive wanted a Grand Cherokee ever since this generation came out...and last Sept I got one. It's a 2006 with the 4.7L, so not as classic as this one (and although I love a V8 it just not as special as these I-6's) but I still love it and I'm sure it'll still be going past 250K.

I bet the new owner took great care of it

[@nomadic_inflight]

@scarlebloke It's his 1965 Ford Fairlane 500 and yes he has done a review of it.

[@mhtube01]

@billysepf74 I agree. He never gave up on this Jeep, even when it was full of junk and had the blown engine. You really should never give up on a Jeep, especially older ones with this engine because it keeps going with just basic maintenance. Of course, take extra care of it for max life but it's well known for it's legendary reliability and durability. I've never owned a Jeep but everyone who does loves them. Hopefully this Grand Cherokee went to a good owner finally!

[@whyme3772]

The “Crank the Jeep” videos from 2009-2012 were pretty interesting to look at. I wonder how it’s holding up now almost 10 years later.

[@achm3d]

I must say Kyle, the cars are very nicely and neatly arranged on the lot! I like how they're arranged by body style so the sedans, SUVs, and pickup trucks all have their own section. The only thing that bothers me is that they seem a little too close to the street so I'd be a little nervous about that guy with the camaro who crashed into the power box at your old college driving around... :0 Other than that, it seems nice and peaceful in Reidsville :D

[@MasterJim2020]

I wonder where this Jeep is at right now, and how it’s been running.

[@timetogonows]

What do you use to clean the tires Kyle? Great video by the way the first jeep video is actually the reason i subscribed

[@plane45036]

I have a 2004 Grand Cherokee, 113k miles, That jeep must have been abused bad (motor wise) Because those inline 6's last forEVER. Good video kyle keep it up.

[@TheCarlover97]

After three years it finally runs perfect btw is that the base model?

[@TheAlexv6]

I liked how they fixed it up no matter how bad of condition it was, I know some people who would have just scrapped it:))

[@meganpaull6140]

Wow runs great I hope whoever buys it will look after it.

[@travisrichardson1980]

so did get repo again yet. It is a very nice Jeep though

[@SammyMaggio]

Can you make two videos of those two Ventures at 3:46, please, Kyle?

[@MercedesF700]

I'm sorry to judge, but if I'm mistaken was that not a misfire right after you started it up and revved it the first time at around 1:51?

[@diamondassassin5005]

I wonder where this Jeep is at now

[@BigJon22091]

Only Saabkyle04 can bring a car back to life. "LoL" Great Video of the 2000 Jeep. I Hope the new Owner takes great care of it.

Have you guys ever gotten a repo'd vehicle back stripped? Just curious... Great vid as always

[@Jakeman21642]

As nice as it is to see it back I bet it will be back 2 weeks after it sells with even more problems. This thing is just unlucky!

[@Bobby-cm7vu]

Same. I heard it was still going somewhere but I think the person who said so was talking pure bullshit.

[@dintrepid]

Gotta love the jeeps. They will put up a long fight

[@mhtube01]

@Projective You need to watch the old videos of this Jeep. When it was first repoed, it had a blown engine thanks to the people neglecting it like crazy and not changing the oil. Plus it was full of trash. It's had nothing but careless owners and that's probably why the trans went bad too. This 4.0 L Inline 6 is a bulletproof engine if well cared for. Very reliable and will last forever. Heck it even started when it was blown! Now THAT is quality. You really can't kill these Jeeps.

[@Americanmuscle1968]

Kyle, do you think one day you can do a video of a Pontiac G6 GT coupe?

[@mhtube01]

@TheCarlover97 It's the Laredo trim but I think that pretty much is the base model for the Grand Cherokee. Though he did review one that was 4WD and had leather interior but same straight 6. This one on the other hand is pretty base, cloth seats and front wheel drive only. It's still a nice Jeep though with a great engine.
