      Great video! Great camera work, clear instructions without all the bullshit commentary about how your dog is feeling or whatever most of the other people think I want to hear that I don't give a shit about. Thank you.

    O.K. So I've watched a boat-load of 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee repair videos. After all, my ZJ is over 26 years old. All I have to do is look at it cross-wise and something breaks, but it still runs great. These are THE BEST repair videos I've seen for my Jeep. Extremely well articulated and demonstrated... without all the other B.S. Every so often when you show your face, I have to chuckle!

No shaky footage or 5 minute spans of you turning a bolt like a lot of repair videos. Awesome tips on certain steps that only a tech would know. Really, really glad to have found your page. Keep doing your thing! Please!!!!

    Europe here, salt and rust. Took me hours to get the three 13mm bolts off. 1/2 inch 12 point socket worked the best. Had to hammer on a 12mm on two of them, and my impact wrench didn't have a chance of course. Thanks for the video though

    At 12:36, it looks like you have the ABS bracket backwards, although a few seconds later it is installed correctly. Pay attention to how they come off, they are labeled L and R, and have an arrow pointing toward the front of the vehicle. All this is on the top side of the bracket. I don't really see why it matters, but if it didn't it wouldn't be stamped into the metal.
    Thanks for the video, you gave me the confidence to tackle my project.
