What numbers are the tires of your car?
@@castanosoffroad6751 35/12.5/r15
Tyler Dean Are you using the original shock absorbers?
"It was a mess when I got it, it actually had bumpers..." Thats a jeep bro right there😂😂
🤘🏻😂
You're going to like the ZJ. I currently have 3 ZJs, a WJ and a WK2. The long arms are a must off road. One ZJ has a 7.5 inch lift and Clayton long arms. It's running 37s on Ford Dana 44 front and a 9" in the rear.
Great job with your ZJ. Look forward to seeing future mods.
I definitely would like to get wider axles but that will be way in the future. that sounds like and awesome ZJ build!
@@VenturaIT I will be posting videos of the ZJ on UA-cam DFerDirt In the coming days. It drove really bad when we first bought it. All the long arm bushings were shot, the tires were almost worn out and the rear end wandered a lot. We are in the process of rebuilding everything. Once finished, it should do well on the highway.
Nice ZJ mate, I almost choked when I saw the words "on a budget" and then a picture of a ZJ on the thumb nail. lol.
This is so sick, would make the perfect overlanding Jeep
that is the goal. still getting it all set up!
Overlanding is gay. Rock crawling is better
Looks good. A video on the install of a long arm kit would be greatly appreciated.
Getting ready to upgrade a stock 94 ZJ 4.0 manual and could use any ideas.
Keep up the good work
since the kit is already on i cant make an install video but i can make a video on what the kit comes with and how it all goes together
I have a 96 Cherokee with a 4.5 RE super flex lift. Of all the lift kit i have ran over the last 30 years its the nicest riding lift. I rebuilt the axels TCase and the break system including the booster
Running Yokohama 33s and steel wheels with a locker in the rear.
1250.00 for the jeep 5000.00 in parts 1350. 00 to have Inland truck install gears .
Money well spent. Should get another 200k out of it
that's the thing. you don't need to break the bank to have something extremely capable
Keith Lea Where did you find the lift. I also have a 96 Cherokee and am having trouble finding a 4.5 inch lift kit.
Dude that’s bad ass.. I had a 95 with the 4.0 riding on 31’s with no lift. Damn I miss that truck
that's a perfect build! did you need to do any trimming?
Great looking Jeep man🤙 keep it up
thank you I appreciate it!
I literally just got my 1995 Grand Cherokee home. For $500 its pretty damn fancy. I can't wait to lift the thing.
sweet! I think youre gonna love it!
@@MountainRoadAdventure So far we love it it. It's pretty clean. No rust. It does have the death wobble and the security is weird. Still extremely happy. I'm glad you made this video.
there's so many things that can cause death wobble but just start replacing everything on the front end. but thank you!
Great looking ZJ I love mine, super capable for a good price. For the price its hard to build something as capable.
well said👍🏻
is really nice jeep man
Thank you!
Not bad at all. Doesn't look bad without the bumper skins
Long arm is the only way to go
Bilstein shocks
👍🏻🤘🏻
9k a year is a pretty big budget.
if you think about it, you don't have to do everything in one year, you can spread it out
Ever compared it to a new Jeep
@@fiveninegarage Ever compared it to a cheaply built zj or xj? staying on the cheap is like 4k or less.
Good video to btw, not to many zj videos out there
The video content is so excellent, congratulations
Thank you
I have a 5.9 limited that is just like this, except it has a big cam and is straight piped
that's awesome! how do you like the 5.9?
love the video. just bought an xj my self and am looking to do many similar mods
xjs are awesome! iron rock off-road and bds suspension have great long arm kits for those!
I wish i had your budget
Right haven't spent that much on it just 9k lmao wish I had 9k to throw around and fix my truck
Nice build! And a great video! 👍
thank you very much!
I like the extra large cup holders for me because I'm always getting XL cups that dont fit my in my wifes Nissan Altima but fit in my ZJ 😁
they are super convenient
Looks good. I like the work. 👍
I really appreciate that! thank you!
so touching for an excellent video
Looks really good but man that radiator seen better days
yes it has 😂 still works great though
I have 4.56 on 33's on my 97 ZJ with the 4.0 freeway speeds are 75 just over 2,000 rpms.
That's a pretty solid gear ratio for 33s and a 4.0
it had a np249 not 247 and the other t-case is a np242 not 241
wow I really did mess that up😂
Thanks for clarifying that, it's what I suspected he was intending to say
Yea, the NP242s get cracks on the AWD planetary gear post’s welds, then eventually “boom”.
Awesome video.
Great stuff and info.
Bought my neighbors '98 5.9 ltd.
Two thousand dollars
200,000 miles.
Any words of wisdom?
keep up or get ahead of the maintenance. like hoses and stuff that wears quickly because when you take it Offroad, those parts will wear even quicker and you don't want to break down on the trail. basically slowly go through everything and replace worn parts with either quality or oem parts (besides suspension and Offroad parts) keep the engine reliable and performing well and change all fluids just in case.
@@MountainRoadAdventure Roger that.
Thanks
I wouldn't classify long arm kits as budget oriented lol
All depending on what your budget is
Nice ZJ man!
thank you!
I have a 96 zj.
nice! they are amazing jeeps!
Is the dana 44a stock for your jeep? If not, where did you get it?
it is stock. it came with the towing package I believe. they are a kind of rare from what I've heard
чувак - убери хреновину с подстаканников, салон там идеальный должен быть! (привет тебе из солнечной Сибири)
i hope my 98 looks this good soon!
what do you have on yours right now?
i just have a steering stabilizer so far. i’ve been trying to get all the maintenance out of the way before i dig deeper bc it has 329k
no way! what motor?
@@MountainRoadAdventure 4.0! it actually a runs like a monster. i daily it right now until i find another one for a good price again.
that's a lot of miles but that's good that it still runs strong
9 grand in a year is not budget brother... lol I bought a zj 4 days ago for 1500 bucks on offer up. same jeep as yours but a 96 w/ 164k. it needs some love for sure.. if these are not taken care of, they don't age well...
any number is a budget but it's cheaper than buying a tj or jk or jl
@@MountainRoadAdventure that's for sure bud!
Aussie locker on the rear? Does thr aluminium dif case can handle the locker? Every body tells me DONT!!!
I've had the locker in there for a year now and I've never had issues. I'm not too sure about the long run though
How did you plug in the speedometer plug, my zj has different wiring for the plug in my 231. Really no information about it online
I was able to swap it over from the 249 to the 231
I dont have much money in it just 9k in mods....lol....
throughout 1 year and how capable it is for the amount of money
That’s “only” about $25 a day or $345 every 2 weeks.
Are they any reliable and how about the miles per gallon?
they are pretty reliable, especially the 4l engine. gas mileage varies but it's usually around 11 to 17mpg
I haven't had any problems out of mine so far. The person before me put 32s on mine and on average it gets around 13
This all modificates are not legal in Germany 😕 I want to USA
Time to move here
How is not an xj it was built between 84 and 01
jeep has the Cherokee (XJ) and the Grand Cherokee (ZJ). they are 2 different models
How much inches does the spacers are?
1.5 inches
I just picked up a 93 grand wagoneer/cherokee.
147xxx on it.
Traded a 350 dollar car for it.
I hope I did good.
Its my first jeep and I'm stoked about it.
I think you are gonna love it! just stay up to date on maintenance it's it will treat you well! you can always dm me on Instagram @tyzj5.2 if you have any questions on them!
How 9k a low budget?
compared to 25k for a Wrangler build and what you are getting out of it
Tyler Dean yeah but 9k isnt cheap build i have a 98 zj i picked up for 400$ ran and drove, i have under 4k and more modified then yours.
what do you have done to it
Tyler Dean alot
ricky Lawson lol lets see it
Is it legal to have the bumpers off like that I jus got a 97 grand Cherokee and I want to do that but I’m not sure
it might be but I've never had any issues with it and it's boob like that for almost a year
lift 6? sorry no ingles
5.5 lift
@@MountainRoadAdventure The front axle you send a little forward? Do you know how many centimeters?
about 4 cm
$9000 is alot of money....
🤣🤣🤣🤣 9k
htownsfinest87 yeah not a budget build
budget doesn't mean cheap. you can have a $100k budget for something
What was the tablet and what did you mount it with?
galaxy tab a and I mounted it with a mount I found on amazon
whats the wheel offset
I believe it's zero then I have real spacers
wheel spacers*
он хорош!
thank you!
This is not a budget build an average man who doesn't make a million dollars would say a budget build is 2 or 3k
you don't need to make millions to have a jeep that costs 9k in total. that's way better than spending 11k on a stock TJ or 45k on a new JL
@@MountainRoadAdventure yea ig but as a teen my budget is like 4k max
I mean i bought a lifted jeep with bumpers and 40 super swamoers for $600
Lol he said budget 😂🤣 this is not a budget.
like I said the other people, a budget can be any number but it's way better and way more capable than spending 15K on a stock TJ or 45k on a stock jl
I just picked a 95 zj 99k miles for 800$
that's awesome! great deal!
Tyler Dean heck yea man I’m excited to start this thing
do they spend a lot of gas my brother said they drink gas like crazy
they can. honestly depends on how you drive them and what engine you get and certain modifications like tires and axles and weight. going 65 I can get a solid 16 MPG
Actually there do, specially stop and go,
"showing you what you could do without a whole lot of money" "I spent 9 grand"....... ah what? 9 grand isnt a whole lot of money?....
Go look at trucks at your local dealership . $9000 is reasonable for a capable truck like this.
@@thelagmeister The video isnt about buying a truck genius... its about affordable upgrades... 9 grand is affordable? totally missed my point by a mile. go back and read it again. lmao. thanks pal have a few trucks... idiot.
i can afford the 9 grand, but that doesnt mean it affordable.! goof.
@@isosceles1476 So what? I have have three 4x4's three other vehicles a motorcycle and a boat. What was the point of what you just said if you think $9000 is too much money but you can afford it? fidiot
thank you!!
