Jeep Cherokee XJ Straight Axle Prerunner - Garage Build! | BUILT TO DESTROY
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 бер 2021
- Straight axle 2WD Jeep Cherokee XJ!? Justin Wyche has honestly built a very good prerunner out of this XJ and we think he's pioneered new ways in making a go-fast Jeep. Also, Justin did this all in his driveway. This is going to end up being a 2 part episode because of how much detail went into this and how well Justin explains the work and thought process he put into it. You guys have been asking for this and we hope you enjoy it.

We need more “affordable” home built builds like this one
It's not so much affordable home built... It's weather you have the skills to build at home.. and honestly a lot of terra crew trucks n cars are home built.. my Prerunner is almost done..90% of it at home..still cost me 50,000
@@anthonyolsen9299 better than a shop $100,000 shop bill
Affordable and any vehicle you abuse for the most part don’t coincide
That was one my favorite builds, first vehicle bead a Jeep. I’m blown away at what he has done and his knowledge. Keep him close by on desert trips. Huge fan of the Cherokee
We’re having him help us with phase 1 of our Cherokee build
Perfect man for the job! ⚡️
Love my 4.7 stroker xj
She will spin second in the dry with the aw4 auto
The analogy with the broomstick was a great way to tell people who are just getting into off-roading or even just into vehicles, it helps them visualize with an everyday “tool” most people have in their house.
NGL I’m gonna steal that dudes broom stick analogy
Instantly relatable to anyone who's ever spent time pushing a broom.
Impressive! Title should include, “Price Gouging Companies Hate This Guy!”
Rode with Justin in his xj out at KOH this year and my jaw was to the floor couldn’t believe the holes we hit and how fast we hit them in an xj!
I wonder if Justin scared anyone during a ride along. His driving is intense, and impressive.
If you watched till the end you will see James shaking in the preview of PART 2
@@terra-crew LOL totally missed that. I know how James felt haha.
More XJ’s please! Love it
So knowledgeable about his vehicle! He did his work for this jeep!
19:19 Bro Fab - "its a bit strong" LMFAO X10
Thanks for doing this video. I have owned so many Cherokee's and always wanted one like this. Can't wait for part 2.
You guys are the reason, why I own a 1:10 scale trophy-truck. Keep on making vids! It's awesome!👏👍🤙
I have a 93 XJ and this is the perfect guide for build mine (I hope so).
I had rewinded this clip over and over again... Bc it was just so much information! Awesome my dude!!
the motivation i need to do this to mine since it’s 2wd
The wait is finally over!! I've been waiting too long for this beast!
This dudes a good teacher🤙
I really like this video.. just for the fact is so in-depth.. and explained so we'll. I'm not a jeep guy but this is one of the best terra videos to date..this content is what people need to hear n see.. learning is key.
The dude interviews well, awesome video!!!
Hi! Greetings from Portugal! Love this build!! I´ve been for years saving money to build a XJ but more like a IFS ultra four style 4wd because we do a lot of hill climb! But this build is so simple and practical and it looks so fun to ride!! Congratulations for this awesome XJ! Keep up!!!
I love how clean engine is..that's my guy. I detail my Prerunner big time.. even the engine. I'll be taking it to car shows also
Cant wait for Part 2!
U could tell dude loves his build , I respect that . Lots of on par knowledge!
This thing is sick and as always love the content.
I've followed this guy on Instagram since before he started. Love it
The only thing I will say about the front arms is long arms majorly reduce the caster change through the suspension cycle
Broom handle analogy was great. My XJ has drop brackets from Trailmaster from 2000 when there wasnt much aftermarket available. Its been through jack, sledge, claw, outerlimits, wreckingball, upper johnson and its held up grinding over rocks. My jeep needs TLC and I think I will steal some of your front suspension modifications.
I bought his old one ton steering set up for my Cherokee.
Big inspiration for my xj build.
Thing is neat
bad ass cant wait to see more.
i have a 96 xj and i noticed your air box gets its air from the front hole. people don't know there is a cut out you can get fresh air from behind the light. there ie a cover you have to unbolt 2 screws to remove. i use a old vacuum attachment to fill in the gap. glad to see im not the only one who found that.
Agree 💯 on the motor mounts. I have a built xj and my favorite mod is by far my motor mounts by filthy addictions off road.
Hell Yes Justin!
thanks man!
NICE Jeep! Great Job!!!
Not much to critique about that jeep. Well done! Well thought out and purpose built.
Keep up the good content and great merch 👍
Really interesting and different build path for this vehicle. To see a straight axle 2wd prerunner with the spring and shock separate as well as a floating foam bump stop.. never seen one built like this but I’m a Toyota fan so I don’t know much about XJs. I can tell a lot of thought and design went into this and the information on a build like this is very scarce. Interesting to see how he arrived at the choices he did.
I'm also learning from this one. It also that high speed hop like the Jeep 2wd straight front axle Cherokee pickup.
I love this thing.
Jeep XJ
Yea Un Sprung Is like the Money that Keeps going outa our Accounts to Up Grade PreRunners , to the next Level , But Everything needs to GO !!! BIGGER tires Bigger Holes needs Bigger Suspensions needs Bigger Knuckles Bigger Breaks , Bigger Sway Sticks next to The Bigger Bouncy Sticks
This is my goal!!! Just did my first whoop section today still have a long way to go
love it !
Dude knows his Jeep.
That's cool the perfect family project , and you can afford it
HELL YEA TWO DOOR XJ!
I’m not the only person hella jealous he has carbon fibre on his bumper
Badass!
This is so RAD!
Damn, that engine bay is clean.
Love the built to destroy episodes but when are we gonna see the ranger build content
This Thursday!! It’s going to be a banger.
THIS THURSDAY!
Don't you mean "Another" Ranger build?
What an impressive build, when he mentioned the hood louvers on his old Jeep I’d almost be willing to bet I own that Jeep now! it’s got some good size hood louvers
is it a white 4 door manual 4x4 with over 300k miles and a ford 8.8? oh and damage from being attacked with a tractor? lol
😂nope guess not.. but them louvers though,
Look into it my 1974 DJ5 Has the same axle and it's 2x2 .O and i have a 94 Jeep Cherokee to!
I’ve been wanting to do a build like this but with a WJ Grand Cherokee with the 4.7 and 4x4
I happen to have a 94 Cherokee two-wheel drive two-door from Florida no rust and a 4.0 ho engine they are very rare
Great video broom stick info is a first
How do I get more pictures of that hood latch system. I order some for mine but want to see where and how this was installed?
i havent watched the video yet im justcommenting on the thumbnail... YES we need more solid axle prerunner trucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice Jeep 💙💙💙💯👍
That 2nd gen that drove by though 👌
NICE! Now let's see you drive it and see how it performs...
Matt's Off Road Recovery has Corvair hood vents .
love the ford motorcraft FL-1A oil filter he used, i use it on my O.B.S f150 🤣😂
Ok, everything is fantastic and surreal (for me here in Italy everything is impossible even to think) but .. what kind of fenders are those? (They don't seem to be the Notch Customs).
James.. Since you're an RC fan, can you pleeeease do a video on a Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) Prerunner build like Ivan Stewarts 94 PPI Trophy Truck.. I remember seeing a Tacoma garage build with 19 w/t using IRS 6-7 years ago at Pismo and it blew my mind.
Dig your driving and 2 door XJ
Did you modfy the front axel?
I prefer the 4-door because I like having passengers and you can say what you want it is easier when there is a back door for the passengers to get in instead of them having to climb through my door but the 2-door does look good as well if it's a square body Jeep Cherokee I love it no matter how many doors it has
Obligatory #4DoorsMoreWhores
@3:55
That Miata though lol! Didn’t know if that was an F35 or what with all that aero.
Wait. Why would the 2-door chassis be stiffer than the 4-door??? I figured it would be the other way around due to an added pillar
Im no chassis engineer but the way i look at it yes there is another pillar but it is very narrow and not that strong. it also has 2 huge openings where the doors are that in my mind allow things to flex. i think of it like a soda can with 2 holes cut in the side vs 4 holes cut in the sides. the one with more holes is going to be way easier to crush.
yall need to see the bronco TTB swapped XJ...
Question what brand and size of injectors you installed?
What's the deal with solid axle vs I beam vs IFS when it comes to 2wd? He said that swaybars are difficult to do on beams, but I assume there are other driving dynamics factors to consider, as well as ease of construction and simplicity of maintenance factors, too. So what's the deal?
This foo knows wassup
Hell yeah for the average guy garage builds!!!
Don't know if the owner will see this but Justin, and chance you'd be willing to share your valve stacks? I have something similar, also with 2.5 bypasses (and even prothane bumps!), and am always curious about valve stacks for vehicles that are working well like yours. Not a lot of info on short-ish wheelbase, solid axle, 1:1 ratio shock valving. I think I'm pretty close to having mine how I want it (perfection is always just "1 more revalve" away, right? Haha), but I'd love to see what's working for you. Thnx
Please, more info obout power steering box
Dude counter activated
🤙🏾‼️‼️‼️
what are those orange steering parts?
Dude, this Jeep is sick! Id love to hangout with this guy and help him build shit
What are those headlights?
I have a 98 montero sport and I love this truck and I wanna turn it into something street able but able to blaze trails, where would I start? Please like this and comment I'm completely new to offroading and I need all the help I can get. Nobody makes adjustable upper and lower arm kits for it btw
Hey guys where can i find these coil insert "progressive bump stops" for my jk
What a build!
They have them in different sizes as well.
Bad ass
Where is the steering stabilizer?
Where ia the ram assist?
I got so excited for a new video then realized I watched this video earlier today 🤦🏼♂️ at least it’s a cool and humble guy not another truck bro with deep pockets and the show truck they claim too dirt, the flat brim hat over the ears and huge lens sun glasses. Please don’t feel attacked lol
can someone explain please prerunners are RWD only then how are called those trucks that are 4x4 like those on king of the hammer or those are rock crawlers but they also race in desert its comfusing for someone who dont know mutch about this sport not gonna lie thx for answers
Swat bars also tighten up the suspension a bit. Deffenitly a difference in handling.. I like running no swat bars most the time
ya no sway bars is definitely more comfortable but long ago gave up comfort for performance haha
🤙
The unibody sucks but the 4.0L with some smart cage work and "frame" plating makes XJs really awesome. 2Drs are SUPER rare. Even being a Toyota guy I love my XJ I inherited from my Dad.
I should’ve listened to check my motor mounts
Does anyone know of company that sells a 5 to 6 inch lift kit for a 1995 2wd jeep grand cherokee limited zj 4.0 liter engine??
Love home built trucks. If it works, why change it? Cool Jeep.
He should add frame stiffeners.
Yehaw
What bumper did he say this was
Was that the Dave Ramsey theme song when he said snowball?
Do more Jeep xj builds
We just bought one actually. It’s Nelson’s XJ that he built on the Hoonigan channel. He bought it back after selling it and we’re going to build it up.
what bumper did he say ?
Nice build! Do you know what the travel numbers are? I'm thinking of doing an xj or grand cherokee build and wondering what kind of travel is possible. It seems like the front would be limited to around 12" with this setup. Thx, love your vids!
this jeep is at 12.5" in the front and 13.5" in the rear. its possible to get close to 14" up front and 24" of rear travel but that gets super duper custom and expensive.
@@Jusrin21 cool, thx. I guess dialing in those bypasses is key!
