[@northernfishing6136]

The pure joy in his face when he went over the bump in the intro is what jeep is all about.

Yessir

[@craigdouglasmartens7037]

Briliant! We're buying our first 2004 Jep Sahara TJ 4.0. L inline!

[@garypiont6114]

I had a 98 2d4 Cherokee. I loved it. The rust killed it. Buying a 99 wrangler this week Thanks

[@scuba1788]

Jeep are problems, for your pocket, just empty every pocket. But that’s the gift, mods are endless, legos for adults. My wife has hated my jeeps. But she borrowed my present Jeep for a week, and now wants one her own. Trading her Cherokee in in the spring for another Wrangler. But such a great community, and you can find videos for any fix or mod you need, and so easy to work on to save money as long as you have the time and tools to do so.

[@josealbertoalejossanchez570]

Just made me wanna put mine back on the road

[@Firefuzz11]

A TJU? I’m pretty sure you meant that the previous model was a YJ and yours is a TJ.

[@CamaroAmx]

I think he is referring to the Unlimited long wheel base TJ (non 4 door. The 4 door version came out when the JK came out in 2007). That platform is known as the LJ.

[@canofbeanss]

bro hes legit talking about the TJ unlimited aka the long wheel base

[@KJAY2THOUSAND]

TJU is also known as the LJ

[@kevinhood9781]

Think the lj cames out in 2003 or 2004 not 1998

[@JamalPhoenix]

Nice color choice Forrest green with tan looks so good. Can't wait to see when you redo the interior.

[@13mudgirl]

now i hate to be this guy (im a jeeper myself) but at around 3:40 you talk about cars going snail speed and the jeep blows by them, yes jeeps can go in snow, stopping on the other hand is a whole different story. please be careful and dont drive like an asshat

[@sofloflow]

The YJ had leaf springs, all TJs have coils. Yours isnt a TJU, or LJ as theyre called. Yours is a regular TJ.

[@ForTwinTeeBleezEt]

You have a TJ they all have coil springs, the YJ had leaf springs.

[@devinscott447]

ForTwinTee so did every other wrangler prior to the tj

[@ForTwinTeeBleezEt]

no they didnt they had leaf springs, TJ was the first wrangler to have coil suspension

[@devinscott447]

ForTwinTee I was referring to the leaf springs... everything prior to the tj had leafs.

[@ForTwinTeeBleezEt]

correct

[@crumpb63]

The first Wrangler was the YJ it had leaf springs. Before the Wrangler you had CJ's and those all had leaf springs. The TJ was the first with coils. If you are going to go on KZbin you need to do some research

[@Sarge0311]

She just needs a little TLC in the spring you will be good to go ! I have had my 2004 LJ for 13 years now need to do a oil change on mine which have done every 3000 miles since I got it

[@TheJohnnyairgun]

That shit looks cold af. Enjoyed the vid tho and im loving my tj.

[@CamaroAmx]

Ford had no hand in the design. Bantam (a Pennsylvania based car company) came up with original design and won the military contract, however bantam was a small company that was having financial trouble (bantam would be out of business shortly after the war). So the contract was given to Willys, who had also designed a very similar vehicle. The government took the rights and gave it to Willys. Willys made some improvements and began producing it. Eventually the demand outpaced Willys production capabilities. So the government contracted ford to build them as well. However since it was a Willys design, ford could not put their name on it. So what ford did out of spite was to put an F script on every part on the ones they built. After the war, Willys continued to build the Jeep for the military and began marketing it to civilians. In the late 60’s, Kaiser-Willys had decided to leave the automobile industry and sold Jeep to AMC. AMC continued to build the Jeep until AMC was bought by Chrysler in April of 1987. By the time Chrysler got Jeep (the main reason for them buying AMC), the Wrangler (YJ), the 4.0l (which was all AMC) were already in production. The Grand Cherokee was in its final design stages. Chrysler basically just got the Grand Cherokee to production ready. The TJ was designed in 93 but was not released until early 96 as a 97. There is no such thing as a 96 wrangler. The 95 model year Wranglers were built until December of 95 and 97 began production in January of 96 but released as an early 97. The TJ was the last Jeep to contain AMC parts (4.0, 2.5, door handles and basically most of the chassis and body). The Wrangler was built in the original Willys factory that had built the WWII jeeps up until recently, when a new factory was built right next to the old one. Fun AMC facts: AMC designed the Hummer in 1979 through their military/industrial division AM General, which was sold off in the mid-80s (the US government forced the sale due to AMC becoming a victim of a hostile takeover by Renault in 1979. Renault was partly owned by the French government at the time and US laws at that time stated that a major supplier of military hardware could not be owned by a foreign government). Renault would perform anther hostile takeover again with Nissan in 1999. Renault still owns Nissan to this day). The Charger, challenger and 300 (and formerly Magnum) are built in an old AMC plant in Canada. The LX (rwd/awd, including current Charger, challenger and 300) and LH (fwd, including intrepid, 300m, breeze, ect) car platforms used by Chrysler from the late 80s through today are all based off of an AMC platform (originating in the eagle vision and eagle premier) which also included the cab forward design that helped sell a lot of Chrysler’s in the 90s. The door handles on wranglers and CJs until 2007 were originally from AMCs passenger cars and were first used in 1968. If you look at a gremlin or AMX you will see the same door handles. The history behind cars and the industry is a lot more complicated then many think.

[@danielfrederick306]

CamaroAmx you realize that ford practically designed the grill because it was cheap to stamp out from a peice of metal and paint that way and it made the front end design off what most jeeps are still famous for, the front end

[@garypiont6114]

Thanks . Best comment on KZbin.

[@CamaroAmx]

@@danielfrederick306 every prototype had a similar grill. Ford might of designed the final piece (as the final Jeep product had cues from each of the submitted designs from the various manufacturers). But the vast majority of the military Jeep came from bantam’s design. And there are slight variances between Willy’s and ford built Jeeps beyond the F script. In a side note, the government gave Bantam the contract to build trailers (and other equipment) for the Jeep as a consultation prize.

[@franmitch3589]

Just hilarious how your talking in the jeep while driving & its apparently / obviously so cold you can see your breath

[@sandramccoy491]

Love your Jeep . Looks like your haveing lots of fun

[@AStanton1966]

That thing is like an Audi Quatro in the snow.

[@R3zzRhino]

Wow ford helped develop this Jeep know wonder why it's amazing. Great video and transformation of the jeep. And it's vary hard to find 2k 4.0L these days even if it's in the condition you got it in people would still price it at least 5k rip off how em I suppose to make a project out of it like seriously

[@dj1hits615]

Do your homework. AMC sold Jeep to Chrysler in 1987. that is where the name wrangler came about. The new Chrysler wrangler code name was YJ this first generation wrangler last detail 1995 then which was replaced by the Tj. Actual production years for the jeep TJ was 1996 through 2006. There was a TJ Unlimited worn out as that LJ introduced into 2004. The unlimited jeep LJ lasted till 2006. wine also thing to mention the jeep Rubicon trim package was introduced into 2003. Which is on arguably the best Jeep off-road trim package available for the wrangler. And in addition the jeep TJ what is modernized within its 10 year span in 2003 including a revamped of the 4.0L motor and the 2.5 L motor and etc. in 2007 jeep came out with that new JK wrangler. It came with two doors or four doors the four-door model would be called Jku. The two door wrangler or still just called a two door JK wrangler. In 2012 jeep came out without a modernized version of the JK wrangler. This also killed off the The 3.8 L motor , The X trim package, etc. in the 2012 model jeep put in a 3.6 L Penta star engine which is more fuel-efficient and had more horsepower than the previous 3.8 L engine there is also additional infotainment in modern touches to the interior exterior did not change much. In 2018. The JK wrangler ended and the jeep JL wrangler was introduced. The JL wrangler is the most current wrangler you can buy now at the Sahara trim package you can only buy it in four doors. Also in the jail to introduce the 2 L turbo engine for a optional engine choice for your wrangler. Jeep fans are excited to see the release of the new 2020 gladiator. Jeep fans lawn awaited this. No arguably jeeps are very expensive and as time goes on they get more expensive. True jeep fans are a few of the jeep TJ and the jeep LJ or TJ Unlimited. What’s the last true Jeep. Even though 75% of the jeeps out on the road today or four-door unlimited jeeps. Jeeps are still one of the most Corky just fine mostly reliable vehicles out on the road today.

[@MrPati0077]

Thanks for the break down. I have always loved the tj and have wanted one for the longest. This video was released not even 24 hours after I bought the tj shown. At the time I didn't know too much about the history of the Jeep brand. I was so excited about making a video with it that I sort of over looked that part. I've thought about taking the video down because of a few false points but decided against it because this video is the only record I have of how the jeep looked when I first got it. The second I bought it, I started changing, modifying and fixing it! Otherwise I hope you enjoyed the video!

[@humanpaco]

Very accurate and good review, ty

[@Moreland915]

Sarcasm much? Lmao

[@reyokay]

First thing I would have thought when finding that poster was, "oh sh*t, did I just buy this guys problem?"

[@i_i300]

2000? That’s a deal

[@johnscribb6731]

I'm surprised this is the only comment about the price! $2,000? for a nice running 4.0 TJ and no major rust? Something not right.

[@ibanezGretschman101]

Did you sell the red e24? I saw one for sale that looked exactly the same.

[@nickr.8071]

i saw it too on craigslist

[@kachoww5981]

Thought I was watching a Bay Area Buggs video for a second

[@flyhighq8182]

A tj not a tju

[@AmazingAndre]

Is it pretty cold with soft top?

[@MrPati0077]

At least with this one. It had a lot of holes. More recently Installed a hard top and love it!

[@AmazingAndre]

@@MrPati0077 how much you pay for a hard top. Those are really expensive

[@MrPati0077]

I paid $500 for mine and found it locally. It took me a good few weeks of looking on Facebook, Craigslist, but eventually found it on offer up with an asking price of $700. They can be pricey, but I'm happy!

[@AmazingAndre]

@@MrPati0077 oh wow. That's a great deal. Are you srill using the half doors with the hard top? How's that working out

[@halfchocolatecow3501]

A soft top without any holes is very warm. I have to turn the heat off in mine because it gets too hot and that is in Michigan winters.

[@jasminef4730]

What did you crash in to?!?!

[@MrPati0077]

I hit a fence pole lol

[@johnnyvonline1862]

what state are you in?

[@MrPati0077]

[@ryanromano9116]

Tj has coil overs and yj has leaf springs

[@Moreland915]

TJ has coil springs. Not coilovers. They are different things.

[@abihadperez4579]

Tju is a LJ pervious is yj

[@R3zzRhino]

If you want buy a ford SVT Cobra R 1993-2004

[@alecpalacio1958]

No tj had leaf springs

[@tommyhvalberg]

Alec Palacio No, the TJ has coil springs. The older YJ had leaf springs.

[@Everetts113]

I think you read his comment wrong, hes saying no jeep tj had leaf springs, none. nadda. no tj had them.

[@JB91710]

Chrysler Corp., are criminals for building Jeeps that rust out the day after the warranty runs out. I would NEVER buy a Chrysler product for that reason. They don't deserve our money.

[@kurtwolford5801]

Is 4:44 sped up?

[@MrPati0077]

Yes it is.

[@kurtwolford5801]

That’s good I was about to say you were movin :)

[@MrMatt0184]

You have no idea what your talking about. You need to do more homework lol

[@kevinbothwell8425]

I'm wanting to get my first wrangler in the not to distant future. Anything you think I should look for? I don't know anything about cars, but I do like how simple the older ones look.
