Busted knuckle already lost in my book. They lack imagination and ingenuity and skill. Anyone can slap on bolt on parts. Anyone can stay within budget when you raid a friend's "scratch and dent" pile. They are the perfect example of what is wrong with youtube "budget builds". Your build is what the average joe on a real budget would do. I applaud you sir for doing what most of us in the real world would have to do.
Haha I tried to watch their bronco build to get a rough price estimate on my build....didn’t work too well since their parts were EXTREMELY cheaper than what I could get even with tax n discounts from paying cash.
Yeah. Agree, heard him say a lot of “I got a deal from”.... “so and so gave me...” whereas bleeping was basically custom fab’ stuff out of basically trash.

Great series! I’m glad you are proving that a Jeep can be built affordable and capable and it doesn’t have to be a Wrangler. Keeping interest in off roading is necessary to keep the hobby alive. I love going wheeling with my daughters. Thanks again.
How did we cheat him? They were tied up until the last hill....they both agreed that if Matt made it up the hill....then Matt would get a chance to hit it....if Matt made it, he would win.....if they both made it....tie
Great video just bought a 96 zj to build. always liked the xjs better but I got a great deal on the ZJ. Love that bleepinjeep actually built his jeep 🤟
i for one absolutely love the no sway bar ride of a zj. i added 16 in to width of my wheel base and it feels like a trophy truck going to get groceries
Eee-an is obviously intimidated or jealous of bleepin. These kinds of things are not what make Jeepin' fun, or fun to watch. Jeeping is for the lol's , the fails, and being with your friends or family outdoors having a good time. I've been watchin bleepin for years and love the content. We don't need no hairspray movie star dropout to judge for us. Great Build man, I approve!
Got a free zj and put a $300 motor in it, didn't lift it and just threw it on 31/10.50 milestar patagonias and honestly for $700 about the best deal I've ever made. Thanks for the vid! They don't get near enough coverage and everyone hates them cause they aren't shaped like a box. Super capable cars.
Awesome build! My girlfriend loves the way yours is set up. She is wanting her 95 ZJ done the same. First step is to get rid of the 249. Luckily hers has the 5.2 V8. More power!!!
“Did you hit that button that asks if this is still available? No? Then you don’t get any points for that! 😂 don’t forget that for bonus points you have to inquire and haggle then completely fall off the face of the earth, the true Facebook marketplace way
Just bought my 5000 dollar Cherokee yesterday with rcvs arb lockers front and back with the 8.8 out back cryogenic treated gears and Yukon inners she is a bit beat but I am definitely going to be having fun with her....thanks for the inspiration to get out and dirty
I bought a jeep xj and then a tj all with in the span of 5 months. I have enjoyed your content now more then ever. before my UA-cam was just filled with a bunch of channels with extremely expensive jk, jl, and jts. Now that I finally own a set of more affordable wheeling Jeep’s I enjoy your content way more. Just lifted my tj and the xj is bone stock just waiting for my title because It was salvaged. One for your wheeling buddy man yota stopped by last week to buy some parts off of me and it was great talking to him
@@bleepinjeep hey it’s not always cheap but it about knowing where to spend money. everything else can be done cheap though. Yeah Ben was great we talk for ever about everything. I have a 99 Jeep Tj and a 99 XJ so far I raptor lined the whole tj in blue and black. New top, lift kit wheels and tires Bumpers and winch. Got a 4:1 transfer case and Dana 44 ready to go in next. Xj Is clean and stock sitting on 31s that came with the tj. It is clean. Rides so smooth and starts up great. No rust. Cost me $700 just waiting on the rebuild title. I’m in atlanta
XJ beats ZJ on looks every time. It has the iconic square "Jeep look". Of course a few slides or rolls down the hill, and they both look pretty rounded.
oh thats easy to do. rustys 4link is 600$ new, he got the imperfect ones which are cheaper, those wheels cost 120$ each, tires 150$ each, wj parts are stupid cheap new, front locker was 200ish new its only a spartan. welded rear end, etc. XJs are very very cheap to build.
Got a YURT booked for Monday......no bias but you win! My brother in law was in the shop making these rock sliders the other day, now I know, now I know!!!
This was rad to see. We have some money into our rigs but not a huge amount. We’re always trying to get friends involved but they think it’s super pricy. Glad to see these built all in under 10k and doing everything 80 k jks are doing!!!
Wow. This is actually kinda pissin me off a bit. He gets an entire shop to build him a jeep with “discounted” new parts then breaks and the judges are this biased? Spiky hair is a lame judge.
Blerpinjeep is definitely my choice. I feel their was much more blood sweat and rust stains put into the making of that jeep. Definitely more durable. That Jeep would be an Honor to own! Good job Bleepin! Definitely rough tough and kick ass!
I am more of a ZJ guy than a XJ guy, but they are both great jeeps in my opinion. I do give credit to Busted knuckle for his choice of parts from Rusty's off road, he did a great job. But you are definitely the point winner there, you built that ZJ in a small back yard shop, on jack stands, with the more basic tools. And by yourself. Just like a most of the rest of us would have to do to accomplish a project like that. :
True, but what you didn't see was when we got to that hill neither of them wanted to hit the hill. Bleepin Jeremy told them both they could do it.......but neither wanted to even try it. He talked talked Matt into trying it.....and he made it.....the decision was that if he made it and Matt didn't he would win....but they tied. (You realize if they tied they get to go to Moab for a final right?)
I watched both builds on both channels and I think yours is more realistic. Also love the creativity with the fab work and your attention to detail! Awesome build.
Really......they both had "creative" budgets......I mean come on....tires not included.....the list of parts from one FB seller just kept getting longer and longer...and then selling the stock tires for 500 bucks? All the judges agreed that they both cheated equally on budget
Awesome job by both teams! I had to sell my ZJ due to financial issues, but after these videos I am searching for my next project. Must hit trails soon !!
I've loved every second of this challenge and I yhink it's soooooooooooooooo cool that you're giving your jeep to a subscriber. I'm new to jeeps and crawlers, but I would absolutely LOVE to own your jeep. Your fab skills are amazing!
The ZJ definitely won. They dinged you first for not running it as clean on the first run. They didn't ding him for all the retries on the last hill. No doubt the ZJ won. It's about time the ZJ is given the credit it has long deserved. All around coil springs have been making the difference since 1993. The XJ has never been the better offroader because of the leaf springs in the back PLUS the lack of available V8's.
You don't think that Matt may have edited out a "few" of his tries? The last hill was an all or nothing hill....had nothing to do with what happened before that. When Matt ran a trail cleaner we gave Matt a letter just like we did with Matt
Great battle. I'm not sure about all the accusations of cheating. I man and a poor build has got to do what a man has got to do. And that's the bottom line. We all have been there at times. Jeeps and Jeep parts are expensive. And never hurts to get help or parts from your friends if they have them available. Thanks for sharing 👍 Thanks to the judges for great commentary.
I am just a year behind, but you won with that last hill climb. He said you would win, and he didn't want to try it. You made it look easy. Really enjoy your videos, and I hope to get back into doing this in the future. My Samurai has not been on a trail in 9 years 😥
Your ZJ has far better articulation than the XJ, and you have more rocker panel clearance. Especially with those nice custom steel sliders that you made. Don't feel bad buddy, you did a awesome job as usual. 👍
Man... that was absolutely frustrating... and I'm not even biased! I am a WJ guy through and through! and that being said I'm always on "D&E in the garage" but at least you handled their bias well (probably because you are secretly rooting for that XJ 😂
Great series but parts cost and labor would be more than 5k on each rig, not even counting buying the Jeep. That being said I loved it! Shows you don't have to have a 50k JK or buggy on 42's to do some serious trail riding.
To me these rules are geared to who is this best driver rather than which jeep is the most capable. You play follow the leader and it becomes a driver competition. A better contest would be build a rig and have a third-party drive them both in a coarse to test the rigs capabilities. Give the keys to Ian Johnson and see if he can take each rig through a timed coarse. That eliminates the driver factor IMO.
Matt thanks for always staying motivated... Gonnna take my boys up here in Alaska and attempt the the same shenanigans bout on glaciers.. before and PCS to Fort Campbell.. Don’t have a pull apart up here but we will make it work... Thanks for all the videos..... Keep it up
You did that last line better then busted knuckle he did the first line better and you collected a point for it so I think you're rig was more capable but regardless it was an awesome series and I cant wait for you to get back to that jeep truck thing
Loving this oh, no matter what the outcome. however if I was put in your shoes my brother I would absolutely have spent every penny on suspension and left the axles Factory because if you're really going to break an axle on the trail then so be it but I have beat the hell out of them and they stayed true so I figure take the one advantage you have of four wheel coil spring and put it to your advantage since he has the advantage on weight. And I also would have done as much weight reduction on the ZJ as possible
The first line was kind of cheap win. That first little bit of rocks the zj went far right where it was sort rutted out and the xj got over top of it early which left him with a better approach angle on the last spot the zj about flipped on
I have to say both jeeps are pretty awesome. But one was truly built and one was bolt on. And brother you was robbed. That ZJ and your resourcefulness was above and beyond. It was so good my 5 years want me to build one. Lol. Keep it up brother

"scratch and dent" 🤐

Man... that was absolutely frustrating... and I'm not even biased! I am a WJ guy through and through! and that being said I'm always on "D&E in the garage" but at least you handled their bias well (probably because you are secretly rooting for that XJ 😂
Loving this can’t wait till the second episode.
Keep the videos coming these are a blast to watch!
RIP to extreme off-road. All those sick projects I wanted to see finished like the 6 by and the lifted lawn truck just gone in a flash.
I’d love to end up with the ZJ. I have a 00’ 2dr XJ now that I’m trying to get trail ready. Great vid!
Better off with the XJ.
Either way, I won’t be getting rid of the XJ.
Great series but parts cost and labor would be more than 5k on each rig, not even counting buying the Jeep. That being said I loved it! Shows you don't have to have a 50k JK or buggy on 42's to do some serious trail riding.
So wish my ZJ looked like yours😭😭 one day piece by piece ill get there
Matt always seem to be playing the poker jedi mind tricks with the Busted Knucleheads!
Awesome XJ vs ZJ 🤙
Great contest. I absolutely love the whole production!
Thanks a bunch!
Man what some awesome stuff!! Been waiting on these videos!!
Love the challenge. You guys really look like you’re having fun with this. Inspired me to try the same. 👍
I love this build series man keep it up!!!
I work with line X from Milroy and would to on getting one of your Jeep in line-x ultra
Awesome episode. Thanks!
Great series, just a shame you couldn't get a V8 ZJ because that's the number one reason to get a ZJ.
Looked like a clear victory for bleepinjeep...🤷♂️
To me these rules are geared to who is this best driver rather than which jeep is the most capable. You play follow the leader and it becomes a driver competition. A better contest would be build a rig and have a third-party drive them both in a coarse to test the rigs capabilities. Give the keys to Ian Johnson and see if he can take each rig through a timed coarse. That eliminates the driver factor IMO.
Matt thanks for always staying motivated... Gonnna take my boys up here in Alaska and attempt the the same shenanigans bout on glaciers.. before and PCS to Fort Campbell.. Don’t have a pull apart up here but we will make it work... Thanks for all the videos..... Keep it up
Thanks guys!
You did that last line better then busted knuckle he did the first line better and you collected a point for it so I think you're rig was more capable but regardless it was an awesome series and I cant wait for you to get back to that jeep truck thing
he totally shoulda got another letter for sure!
Looks like y'all had a lot of fun. It made for a great video and was very entertaining. Keep enjoying life guys.
thanks! did you see part 2? its up!
Porque esse vídeo tá na playlist do Sobrevivencialismo? Kkkkkkkk
Também estou me perguntando isso kkkkkkkk
Such an awesome challenge and it is indeed pretty damn impressive what a moderately built rig will do.
Hey! Perhaps a little off topic but Adams Driveshaft or Rough Country driveshaft for an XJ?
Loving this oh, no matter what the outcome. however if I was put in your shoes my brother I would absolutely have spent every penny on suspension and left the axles Factory because if you're really going to break an axle on the trail then so be it but I have beat the hell out of them and they stayed true so I figure take the one advantage you have of four wheel coil spring and put it to your advantage since he has the advantage on weight. And I also would have done as much weight reduction on the ZJ as possible
great job! I love your channel! you got this win! I love tekton tools!
Great challenge to watch.
sweet. been waiting for this. no dissapointment, good gob bj
More to come!
Great content as always and keep it coming!!!
More to come!
hmm,, would have better to do XJ vs XJ. still cool though
I just built a 96 grand cherokee minus tire because those haven't came yet for about $1200 I got the jeep and lift with diffs and all for about $700
I dig how you wrote your build on the hood tho 🤔 that's gonna be a thing! Definitely doing that to mine lol
The first line was kind of cheap win. That first little bit of rocks the zj went far right where it was sort rutted out and the xj got over top of it early which left him with a better approach angle on the last spot the zj about flipped on
Great Video guys
I have to say both jeeps are pretty awesome. But one was truly built and one was bolt on. And brother you was robbed. That ZJ and your resourcefulness was above and beyond. It was so good my 5 years want me to build one. Lol. Keep it up brother
Build one, I laid it all out in the last episodes!!
@@bleepinjeep That you did. They all said naw it wont make it. And you was like yeah it will. And it did. Heck yeah
IAN LOOKS LIKE AN OLDER ,DIDN'T AGE TOO WELL INCREDIBOY
That is hilarious!
Long arms front and rear on a ZJ beats an XJ every time. That's been my experience.
