WRECKED J IS BACK!!! - JEEP XJ LIFT GATE LATE FIX - CHEROKEE WALK AROUND AND 2 YEAR REVIEW

[@SeanMalseed]

Still can't believe this thing's transformation. Amazing

[@SteveMeyer-gu7yg]

This was seriously an awesome restoration! As you all have seen in his videos he kicked ass on my 4.0 engine rebuild. I have people asking me about it all the time. If someone looks under the hood, their jaws drop! Can't wait for the next project!!

[@ProjectDanH]

Thanks brother, I appreciate the kind words. It was a pleasure to work on your sweet WJ kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2qznqicgNearqM

[@SteveMeyer-gu7yg]

@@ProjectDanH not just kind words... It's the truth! Will always be appreciated for what you did for me (and my truck)!!

[@danhambrick6331]

Nice to see your Dad again.Looks like he is doing well...

[@ProjectDanH]

Yes sir! He's still loving life and his XJs. Lol yes he bought another one! Hopefully I'll get it on the channel soon!

[@myjeepwjarebuildpaulsteven7986]

Dan, A great looking Jeep! Super Work ✅🇺🇸

[@ProjectDanH]

Thank you!

[@YO2DA]

I am Europe,I have an WJ from 2002 and I love it.I have it for about 8 years and I have made a lot of restauration works and stil working great. These cars are one of the bests.

[@ProjectDanH]

Very cool!

[@JoeVizethum]

great restoration, bro - classic XJs deserve to stay on the road ! The knock on this engine sounds like a piston slap/broken skirt. Check out with a stethoscope.

[@ProjectDanH]

Will do man. Thank you!

[@hangthatflagupsidedownplea3049]

This really makes me miss my XJ : (

[@ProjectDanH]

Grab another!

[@ProjectDanH]

Hey Guys, Check out how Wrecked J is doing!!!

[@rperron3439]

Dan, good to see wrecks still getting it done. Very cool it went to your dad. I had a black 2001 XJ for almost 10 years. Bought it with 138k on it drove it until 205k. She had a weird noise from bottom end the whole time. A mechanic who changed my rear main seal said everything was tight (bearing cap bolts, rod end bolts) but I think it had a bad bearing somewhere but I’ll tell you what, she ran like a champ. I ran 10w30 conventional with 1 qt of lucas every oil change. I do miss my XJ, she was a good girl. Hope 2024 is good to you and yours 🤙🏻

[@ProjectDanH]

Thanks for the view and support! God Bless!

[@15farcry]

Really should drizzle some fluid film or atf in the doors to keep rust from ever starting there.

[@ProjectDanH]

We do! Lol

[@JamesWester]

This is genuinely great work right down to the handprints. :) I'm about to begin my own project car--refurbishing my 99--and I agree: this is the best stance.

[@Bulpar]

Ahhh the floor pans I gotta do mine too

[@ProjectDanH]

Dang floor pans!

[@phineasandferbandfriends5742]

Sweet restoration looks great. I just bought my first Jeep a 1989 XJ 64k. Cant wait to start making it look nice because I plan on using it as my daily

[@YOUZTUBE2000]

Great job Dan! Super useful channel for the XJ, WJ 4.0 fan base!

[@ProjectDanH]

Right on brother, thank you 🙏

[@razor_wuff]

It's super crazy how WreckedJ and mine were crashed pretty much the same way! I really should upload a tour of mine someday lol!

[@ProjectDanH]

You should! I'd love to see it

[@SteveMeyer-gu7yg]

Hell yeah! Bring out the wrecked J!!!!

[@ProjectDanH]

Yesss!

@@ProjectDanHAloha from Hawaii Dan! Hey what size tires you’re running here? Mahalo! 🤙🏾🏝️😎

[@eriksony6398]

Like the small code reader Launch CR3008 plus

[@annet4900]

Before you do anything to the engine check the bolts on the flex plate to the converter. They tend to get loose and back out hitting the bell housing. Good luck

[@ProjectDanH]

Thanks for the tip! These bolts are torqued tho. 👍

[@MrRickChase]

*and in case anyone was interested, i believe it varies slightly from the original Orvis (uk exclusive), but Spoilerlights has been recreating them. I have one to install on mine but repainting the rear hatch comes first.

[@ProjectDanH]

This was the gen 2 from spoilerlights. I have an original Orvis spoiler from Germany on another hatch and another gen 2 still in the box. Unfortunately last I heard they were all discontinued

[@MrRickChase]

@@ProjectDanH website currently says in stock but i don't know if that's just not up to date. In the past it seems like they ramp up production based on interest or availability to manufacture batches

[@christopherfuller8815]

Been a fan of the channel for years, Dan. Great stuff! You inspired me to restore my own 01 XJ limited. Love it. Question: rear differential. I’m hearing a whirling sound and am wondering what I should do (have it rebuilt or swap it out for another one) thoughts?

[@Chrisw678]

Great content as always.

[@ProjectDanH]

Much appreciated!

[@ulianotech]

LETS GOOOO!!!!!

[@ProjectDanH]

💪💪💪

[@SAMusement]

Sounds like valvetrain noise to me! The play in the rocker pivots over time could be causing that

[@vagnerangelovsa]

Great job DanH, I been following you with that project and it looks amazing! Please, Where do I buy that spare tire cover cargo carrier exactly like that ? Thank you in advance.

[@ProjectDanH]

Thanks bro. Try eBay for a 5.9 limited tire cover

[@ericgunnyporter8964]

Hey Dan H I have been following your blog for about 4 years and you have helped me put together my lifted XJ. I'm down to the last bit installing the leafsprings and I can't find the plates for the U bolts do you happen to have any in your collection of parts . I will pay for shipping if you have both plates. I've been to 6 yards here in Maryland and no XJ's anywhere thank if you can .. my email information if you need it Eric

[@icantsaywhat]

Dan or any others who know xj. I have a 99 xj it’s rust free but the roof has rubber strips going down it that are peeling. If I pull them is there anything under them or is it just double sided tape holding them on. Also I remove 5he roof rack to do a good cleaning and buffing. Will 5he Rene holes under the roof rack holes or is it something like nutserts that the roof rack is bolted to the Jeep by . Need to sell it since I got my wj. Thanks for any help it’s appreciated.

[@ProjectDanH]

Hey. You can peel the rubber strips but it will probably leave chunks of white double sided tape too in it which is hard to remove. Also if you unbolt the roof rack be careful not to strip the nutserts inside the roof. If you take out the T25 bolt there will be open holes in the roof.

[@icantsaywhat]

@@ProjectDanH thank you very much that’s what I needed to know. I appreciate the help. And the videos

[@ProjectDanH]

You got it buddy!

[@Runitlikeshebroke]

Dude what happened to the three row Jeep.

[@ProjectDanH]

I'm building the engine now😊

[@robertthomas6622]

Any content coming up on it ? Can’t wait to see some more.

[@raleighsmith9838]

What seats are in that jeep are those out of a Grand Cherokee?

[@ProjectDanH]

They are Original XJ limited seats

[@BigPeteGarage]

Hey there. You guys have inspired me. I have bought a 98 xj project and decided to start a youtube channel. Bigpete garage. Also from new york!! Thank you for the inspiration!!!

[@robertreed453]

Engine noise: Throw in a can of Marvel Mystery Oil in the crankcase. I'm thinking stuck lifter.

[@jeepercreepers54]

Please replace those headlights. The XJ deserves better.
