Welding Rock Sliders INTO The Body Of My Jeep Cherokee XJ
Переглядів 2,5 тис.Рік тому
Gain ground clearance and rigidity in a Jeep XJ unibody by welding your sliders directly into the body! Jeep XJ unibodies can weaken and twist overtime due to hard off roading. Cutting out my rocker panels, welding my sliders directly to the body, and bracing them back to the frame should add a tremendous amount of strength to this chassis. And provide a great place to tie in a roll cage!

Broken Antirock Sway Bar | Sawzall got pulled out more than once on this trail!
Can this cause the fuel pump not to prime?
When I was young, our family car was a 65 chevy sportvan. I drove it several times and one of the times I drove it out wheelin in the state forest fire lanes. Lots of fun.
That’s a rad family car
Sweet rig always loved the old 60's vans
Thanks!
Note to self; check for missing bolts I didn’t resecure.
😂
Clean af boi
👌
Sick edits. Sick work. So happy w the end result. You da man Jake!
Glad you liked it!!
I built one for my tacoma, I think it took about 20 hrs of work,including disassembling the stock bumper, building the coastal ,welding, grinding, paint and reassembling with lights and light bar...
Nice!
Nice job
Thanks!
I saw a while ago you posted about your EAG bumper but now I see you've switched. How did you like the EAG, and how sturdy was the winch plate I've come across a free winch but don't have a bumper. Also Are you from Colorado I saw everyone posting about the huge holy cross meetup and I would have gone if my Xj was finished in time.
I had no problems with my EAG bumper. But honestly never loved the style. It just came with the XJ when I got it. I have heard of welds failing on them, so do need to look them over well. And I did bend it landing on it. And idk about a big meetup. Sometimes I avoid those haha.
Man I wish I could do this type of work. I have a 1996 Cherokee Sport just itching for a restoration. Nice job! 👏✌️🫵👌
Just go buy a few Harbor Freight tools, you got it haha
Best way to test new stuff is to break it 🤠
Now break those axles so tons and 40s?
Those extra fasteners would have certainly come in handy! Watching the bumper come off definitely makes me want to double check my stuff! :)
We got super lucky the battery cables stopped the bumper from flying into Carlos. Check your bolts!
i will never install a winch after watching this!!!😅
Winches are an amazing tool. Just need to make sure they are secured to the frame properly
@@machinesinc i have 8 bolts holding my bumper on. If i rip my bumper off, something has gone terribly wrong. The winch is only held on by 4 bolts, so it should rip off first. 😊
@@ProjectXJ I like that math lol
Nope, nope….I’m just going to sit on my deck, cook some weenies over a fire I built with hundred dollar bills! 😂
Thanks for the wheelin’ video! Enjoy the fab shows as well. The Cherokee sure performed! Great looking trails.
Thanks for keeping up with them all!
Any plans for bender cart?
The plan was just to kindof add on to this cart as I acquired more tooling. But plan to do a custom welding cart at some point!
Was plan for tubing cart done in Bend Tech
Nope, just all by hand
Brother I just seen this video for the first time this evening and it reminds me of the old days when we were putting the exhaust together with tin cans and hose clamps. You did a great job I believe it sounds good and it's very very clean exhaust system and keep it up man I love your van
Right on haha, sometimes it’s fun figuring out hot to piece things together
Awesome story man thanks for sharing. That’s a bad ass van !
Thanks!
Digging the lines. Nice n clean.
@@autocrossratrod thanks!
Love the build, I’ve contemplated going the tube bumper route and you’ve convinced me. I built one for my old Yukon and love the look over the plate bumpers!
It’s the move for sure!
Bumper looks sharp. Not digging the four pods on top of the fairlead. I think one on each side of the fairlead in those holes would look good.
Doing the 2 pods it kept making it look like a face. Pods were the eyes and fairlead was the mouth 😂
@@machinesinc Gotcha. I can see where that would make it look like one of those douchey angry eye jeep front ends. Still don't love the four pods, but I understand function over aesthetics.
The angry eye grills are definitely a certain type of special 😂
I can hear the lifter tick 🥲 we can’t escape it lol
It might be Piston slap… or a rounded off cam. This thing got lifters a few thousand miles ago lol
@@machinesinc flex plate bolts maybe ? Mine started ticking might do scorpion racing rollers and see if that helps if not gonna have her rebuild she’ll last another 250k lol
Flex plate bolts did come loose and that’s when I yanked the motor apart 😂 after realizing it was those bolts I went ahead and just tossed new lifters in since I was already there. But yeah no change. But your right could be a dud rocker arm. They all looked fine but who knows
Very cool build Jake. Fab-ing on the vehicle sure makes everything fit well. Thanks for the wheeling shots. Looking forward to more!
Next Sunday look out for a wheeling video!
Thanks for the awesome vid. Can’t wait to do this on the Four Runner.
Oh yeah yours is going to be a monster truck
This man needs so many more subs
Appreciate it!
Bad Ass I fucking love it
Thanks!
That’s a lot of labor! Enjoyed your comments on the bumper as a first time project. Built tube bumpers for my Cherokee in AZ about 15 years ago. A friend who knows how to weld did the fab. He now has that Jeep, still going strong. Nicely done video.
Wayyyy more labor than I was thinking 😂
putting them costco rags to work
This garage runs on Costco
Good edit, enjoyed it and learned something.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Ex specially. Lol. Great video man
Never did pay attention in English class 😂
Hello! I couldn't put shifter to P at a traffic light and turned off the ignition in D. Then I put the selector into P (car turned off) and nothing happened. I moved the selector many times over an hour, removed the battery, but nothing happened. Tomorrow I plan to remove the NSS and rebuild it with clean all aroud, using your video, thanks for thet! BUT what else could go wrong if after my self-oberhaul nothing works? Maybe shifter lock cable broke?
The NSS may just not be adjusted correctly or loose
@@machinesinc thank you for your answer! Today I try to uninstall NSS and have some troubles with central bolt, that should come out. I detach lock hutch near central bolt and try to get it in every way, with great effort. And nothing happend :( I don't understand what I do wrong, can you help me with that?
Thanks god bless
✌🏼
Man, sorry if you have answered this in other videos but what are those angle jigs you use to drill out your saddles? Those are slick.
@@pvff6375 it’s just a tubing notcher. This is a cheap one from Amazon.
Me next pal!
In the works!
Would this work on a TJ wrangler? it has an issue with rough shifting, 1st to 2nd, and if you unplug it for the night it fixes it temporarily. I have done some digging and everyone else with the same problem says it IS NOT the PCM, but possibly the "transmission range sensor" which ive been told is the same thing as a neutral safety switch?????
I’ll be honest, I’m not sure what is causing your issue. The NSS is simply letting your vehicle know what gear you have selected, so this should not affect the shifting performance of the transmission itself. But also keep in mind that XJs have different transmissions than TJs
Keep the xj videos coming
Working some up!
The video was good just the way that it is....but I would like to see some actual wheeling content in the future....
I’ll pull the camera out on the trail here soon. In the meantime check out @littletruckbigworld UA-cam and Instagram. Went wheeling with him yesterday and I think he may post a video.
Good project Jake! Agree on the latch. I like the format. Hoping for a few wheeling videos soon.

Good stuff. Next video - move the tank up! Looking to see how you do it, hoping to tuck mine up next winter.
Hahaha, I kept thinking about it. But I think I’m going to leave it for now. This thing is so small that the trunk space is so valuable for camping trips.
Now let’s go beat it on some rocks
Looks good man. I really have liked the filthy addictions bumper but can’t afford it so Amazon DIY bumper and to teach my self to weld it is 😂
I’d also like a little more details and stuff kinda like a voice over of some of the B-roll of the fab work or whatever it might be I think would be a good mix of like more detail but not cutting from the work and explaining every detail if that makes since
Hey the Amazon bumper as an awesome first welding project. Just prep all your surfaces, don’t weld too much at once, and weld a good portion of it while bolted to the vehicle to avoid warping. Adding frame tie ins is HIGHLY recommended, weld them directly to the bumper if you can.
@@machinesinc for sure I’ve done as much research and stuff as I can and do a lot of practice welding on scrap metal and soon will be doing both the DIY front and rear bumpers and I do have tie in brackets as well already and I got some center section frame stiffeners to weld on as well but scared to do that lol
What type of coating did you use to coat your bumper?
I used Rustolium brush on hammered paint. It takes forever to brush on, and forever to dry. But once it’s dry it’s an incredibly hard and durable coating.
Music was way to loud and way way to much. You asked 😊
Thanks for the feedback!
Good job.
Thank you! Cheers!
Use acrylic, would work just as good and you dont lose visibility.
Acrylic does not have the rigidity alone to create a tight and reliable seal around the perimeter.
Beautiful build. I love these late 60s vans.
Same here!
I was removing rear shackle mounts for a no lift shackle mount relocation kit the other day. I had the three angle grinders, Sawzall, electric metal shears... I was able to nip it all off to a certain point, I was fed up at this point as I had spent about 20 min trying to figure out how to get the last bit out. Well, I pulled out my oscillating tool with a metal bit and surprisingly it cut pretty good. I was expecting it to flop. Anyways, that probably would have worked on that booger weld.
Might have to try one out
@@machinesinc It is slow. Get a good metal bit for it if you plan to use it to cut sheet metal. I had a titanium metal bit and it worked.
Love to see you back man
Ready to get back after it!
Super high quality video! I've been wanting to get started with making videos like this, but even filming a simple project is a ton of work. Looking forward to more content from you!
Thanks! Filming is very tedious but rewarding when it all comes together.
Just found your page today looking at your video for clearance for 37’s
You going to slap some 37s on your Jeep?
@@machinesinc yes sir I plan on it. I have a set of tera tj width Dana 60 axles that’s going under it and for what little extra I have to trim I might as well go to a 37 over my current 35’s.
Jaken!
