- 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!! - Авто та транспорт
1:46 Most of us thought we'd never see the day.. It actually started!
John Green Twin I have to be honest, I NEVER saw this coming
Right on dude!
@@antiqueelectronics2462 you like nonexistent things, huh? I’ll show you old man. Vintage electronics don’t exist.
chez
I love Jeeps. It was sad seeing the history that that Jeep has gone through. Glad to see it's healthy again!
Have you seen this Jeep at all since this video?
BEAUTIFUL, IT RUNS BETTER THIS TIME! JEEPS ARE GREAT.
They are, but I don’t know if Scotty Kilmer would agree.
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!
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.
it's amazing how far you've come as a car reviewer, kyle. you get better every day!
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.
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.
I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SEE THE DAY THAT THIS CAR WOULD START!!!!!
Hope the person who has it now takes very good care of it, that poor jeep deserves 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 love that Jeep it's a real fighter
Awesome job Kyle. The Jeep sure sounds better than ever. Keep up the great videos.
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.
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 :)
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 !
A big transformation, good on you Kyle for never giving up on this car!
that is a nice sounding jeep. I love the sound of the motor
The amount of happiness you probably felt when that Engine W o r k e d-
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!
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.
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!!
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.
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
wow it has been 3 years since the first video. So congratulations to you saabkyle04. And keep up the good work
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. : )
congatulations !!!!!! you made it fine and it sounds perfect
I love these jeeps...mines getting a engine put in it now....so did you have a hard time finding a used inline 6 for this jeep?...I had a helluva time finding a good one in Pittsburgh
Starting to get teary eye just remembering that Jeep that cheap like started the channel and I really like that Jeep that’s I keep watching your videos of it when I was blowing I really like it nice video
this car deserves a new loving owner!
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.
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!
Is the transmission brand new or rebuilt?
Maybe rebuilt
Looks like the same radio in the limited that has infinity... What year is this and does the bass go ultra hard
Is it all grand Cherokees that have issues or just the Laredo or just this vehicle itself? I'm trying to get a 2000 limited with the 4.7l v8 and 5 spd auto has 222k mostly highway miles on it just waiting for taxes to come in
You made me happy when you mentioned that awesome fox that drive by.
Awesome. When the transmission was replaced was it a new or rebuilt?
just got mine same year and color mines got fog lights and 159000 miles runs great.had to get the plastic bumpers re done and it looks brand new.love your vids keep em comin :)
That is probably the best that Jeep has looked in years. I hope whoever buys it gives it a good home.
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
Hey Kyle, any update on the Grand Cherokee?
how are the 08' grand cherokees? any good?
kyle ? what did you use to clean that plastic pieces to make them shine and how did you remove the brake grime off the wheels ?
how did you get rid of the white and discoloration of the bumper and side panels?
Well, I'm glad it's good now, or at least it was back when this video was made. I'm curious to know if this car ever appeared back at the dealership since then with other problems. But I'm a fan of the Grand Cherokee so hopefully it's still doing good.
i love it now That its back on the road again.
it was like showroom new when you detailed it, awesome job on it
you do a really good job cleaning and detailing my friend!
Wow runs great I hope whoever buys it will look after it.
I have a blue 04 Grand Cherokee SE that I bought used with about 143000 miles, and it's in excellent condition
I want to get a limited jeep or a eddie bauer explorer with a 5.0L similar year range, In your opinion kyle. what should I get. Im thinking more towards the ford. I own a grand prix gtp atm.
Thanks
Great to see it running!
Wow such a huge difference, back in the older videos this jeep sounded like a lawn mower or a motorcycle but now it sounds a lot different and quieter :)
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.
How did it treat you?
Still havw the jeep?
It's about time!! It's only been 3 years haha
Nice sounding motor runs like a champ
awesome!! this car has such a long history!
Kyle - what's that metallic turquoise classic car alongside the Jeep at the beginning of the video - and have you done a video of it?
I wonder where this Jeep is at right now, and how it’s been running.
Hey kyle random question but do you keep a list of all the vehicles you've made a video on?
What do you use to clean the tires Kyle? Great video by the way the first jeep video is actually the reason i subscribed
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.
1:35 I like that startup
Was it floored when you did the acceleration pass?
You need to get gas! lol I have a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with over 180,000 miles on it.. LOVE it!!! I am thinking about buying a new on in about a year or so.. Not a 2014 however, they are having so many issues with that one!!
Thank you for posting this video.
it's nice that the jeep is fixed and back on the road again.
Dose it have a big intake
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?
Hey Is that jeep still for sale, what state are you in, cause my mom is looking for a jeep a bit newer than her 1994 grand Cheerokee that shes going to give to me. Oh and how much is it
4:02 I love the 300M in the background.
I noticed the Jeep had Virginia plates, but you're from North Carolina IIRC. Did it go out of state?
do u have a direct link of your website. or is it just on Autotrader
Why does it keep showing up at the dealership? Did the buyer return it cause it didn't run?
@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!
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
can you do the Audi Q5 2.0T premium plus?
What happen to the toyota camry video the 90 or 91 thats currently on your lot ?
so did get repo again yet. It is a very nice Jeep though
@chris000089 if all jeeps are junk, how come my '98 grand cherokee laredo 4x4 has 185k miles and runs beautifully and makes it thru mud better than a lifted f150 i went mudding with?
I loved that when you said nice fox body as it drove by,man thats what i would have said if i was there to see that mustang drive by.
I wonder how the jeep is doing now?
Happy to see this car running:).
@flushstuff would you say your Jeep is very reliable though?
are whistles actually clean?
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.
The Jeep runs and now it can now be happy for the rest of its life
Wonder if Kyle is able to track down the person it was last sold to and see how it’s doing now!
where are you guys located
how many times has this car come back?
I want that silver lexas at 10:36. It's not on the autotrader?
Gotta love the jeeps. They will put up a long fight
how serious is the gas tank recall on these actually?
How much money did you have to shell out for it?
Can you please do a video on the magnum that was behind the jeep please thanks
hello, how do you driving ? whats name has the city or town
What was that car at 3:11?
The jeep is looking good
