  • The Jeep is all fixed finally and better than ever. This will be the last update video that was almost 3 years in the making. SEE DESCRIPTION BELOW. What turned out to be a neutral safety switch malfunction that led to the jeep not starting in the last update video • Revisit the 2000 Jeep ... we also had to put a transmission into it. Now it's running fantastic, with everything working, shifting properly, it's now just as it should be. I detailed it fully so it can hopefully make someone else happy that will take care of it and enjoy it. After all this vehicle was pretty much history making when I started this channel so I'd be very happy to see it go to a new home.
    This video was a quick shoot, no special format or 1080p, due to timing and other things to take care of I wanted to at least MAKE SURE I was able to film it this time around for all my long time subscribers who have supported me so much over these few years. Thanks everyone and I hope you all enjoy!!
    In case anyone was wondering, the Jeep is for sale right now and with everything my dad sells a 30 day 1000 mile warranty is included :) www.autotrader.com/dealers/inv...
    DESCRIPTION FROM PREVIOUS UPDATE VIDEO
    Well for the majority of people who might not understand why I made this video, I'll explain it all haha. Back a couple years ago when I first started making videos, they were videos like this, of random cars, cars with issues, tinkering, how to videos and much more. Just a regular car channel of random things I came across when I worked at my dad's dealership in highschool and during my undergrad work at campbell university. This vehicle is my most famous, or "infamous" if you will, video series of that era. The cursed jeep that kept coming back with more and more issues haha. These are enjoyable and fun videos, with anticipatory plots so to speak, with random inserts. A ton of people enjoy these videos as do I, which is why I started making videos in the first place! I never was able to finish up the final update video on this vehicle before we put a new engine in it and sold it. I was at school at the time. Now, almost 3 years later IT'S BACK and back with more problems ::sigh:: so let's take a close look in a old school saabkyle04 tribute video!!! Feel free to take a look at the other videos of this vehicle on my channel from way back and you'll see what I mean!!

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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! (:

    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.

  • @pskittle488
    @pskittle488 12 років тому +2

    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.

    I found Kyle's channel back in 2009 when he first got started on UA-cam, 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! (:

    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!!

  • @mrkzj2
    @mrkzj2 12 років тому

    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.

  • @Noah-M-P

    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. : )

    @mhtube01 12 років тому

    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!

    But if the neutral safety switch was bad wouldn't it just click and when you played around with the gear shifter it would start that sounds more like a bad fuel pump or also a lot of jeeps have problems when they get older with not firing

    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.

    @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!

  • @achm3d
    @achm3d 12 років тому +2

    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
