gradually converting the Cherokee into a top fuel :D Really like where this is going. Now that you got rid of most the front of the car, maybe you can fit a V10 in there? Finding one for a sensible price might be an issue though.
Oh hey if you ever need that thermal paste the same stuff for computers would probably work. That goes in between the cpu/heatsink. Arctic MX4 is the usual stuff I use. Cheap too compared to getting a new module. Also its worth mentioning don't add too much of it. You want a thin layer or else it'll act as an insulator and not transfer the heat correctly. Probably why they give you so little. As well as clean flat surfaces.
Wow, I picture in my mind jolts of electricity being pumped into "The Yeepenstein'. "It's alive!" proclaims Dr. Lowbuck. Now the spark plug testing scene makes sense. And, my request for metal-flake green body and a black top is submitted, ha ha.
The math is solid, and the weight distribution is nice. my comment before of losing the traction to the rear wheels was mainly directed to the thinking you was going to move the engine weight forward and angle of the system being tipped down and forward onto the frontend. that's what I get for thinking before I seen this video. the rake is good. the load to the rear-end will be tight. maybe some old school traction bars would be funny, and slicks on the rear. I find your videos fun. hope you win the event this time. thanks for the humor.
That thing looks *WILD* James!! 🤣 I had no idea you had already chopped the Jeep in half before! Hopefully you can track down the distributor problem for good, what a pain! Enjoyed the video and happy wrenching 🔧🔩

Man I love the vision you have. See it and whack apart put it together!! Man if you could push the fenders up over the wheels and fill in at the cowl area it definitely would complete the funny car look!! Keep having fun brother. Thanks for sharing your adventures!!!
19:45 In the custom PC world, heatsink compound is very common and easy to pick up. Perhaps you could pick up a large tube of MX-4 or similar paste to have it around. It being made for (significantly hotter) CPUs, would be a perfect fit for automotive use!
That sure is a funny car. You're a bit crazy but it's a good kind of crazy. I love seeing your follower count grow because that means you'll keep having fun making videos for us to have fun watching.
Hi love the channel. We used to run different axels on our stock car in the uk and what we did to change the pcd of the hubs . Bang the studs out and cut them so the splines fill the old holes u can tack weld the back , Set the hub in the lathe and mount a pointed tool at 90 degrees. Find the exact middle, and wind out to the diameter of the new wheel pcd and run the lathe and scribe the diameter on the hub .Then line the new wheel up with the hub line and mark your 5 hole positions ,you can be more accurate on a milling machine but this is less fun. Then drill the 5 holes and go to your wheel stud store fit new studs and tack weld at the rear . Hope this helps I am sure you will come up with a easier solution but if not give it a go . We always used to let problems with vehicles develop to the point of breaking which seams like your way Keep up the good work regards Ian in the uk 😊
Well that's sure different. Might look cooler if you take off the Jeep fenders and hood, and the rest of the front, but I know that also means on an old ZJ you'd have to cut the substructure unibody to really get rid of all the body in front.
@@joedingo7022 I probably missed that video. I think you're right for sure, you can see it conencted to the front levered from further back. That would not be too hard to fix with some triangulation up to the firewall. It will be interesting to see future videos on the progression on this Jeep.
that heatsink compound you mention im pretty sure is just thermal paste, its used to greatly improve heat transfer and is commonly used in electronics but has a wide variety of applications as long as it doesn't melt. engineers use it only when necessary so keep that in mind if you have to use it again because its most likely important. dirty thermal paste is less efficient and old thermal paste is terrible if not useless and i believe it is somewhat water repelant because its difficult to wash off. you can find thermal paste at any electronics or computer repair shop.
That's a lot of minches to worry about, the car is 2 foots longer now... You need Leepu to finish the body now. Keep a stack of old washing machines for metal. I'm thinking Pakistani bus theme, with all the trimmings.
That front suspension swap was simply amazing! I noticed the MG has combination upper control arm/shock absorber units like my '47 Chevy. Maybe my car has drag strip potential, after all. Quite the inspiring video! And all those calculations! Your car is a rolling classroom!
I'M certainly not having the same degree of fun as you are! But I'm getting all of mine and a little share of yours as well. I feel pretty sure your modern "rail" is going to go like hell on the track. And I am keen, to see it tested!
Really like this channel and your projects. Replacing the stamped lower control arms will go a long way and improve the 60' due to flex. You can prob crank some out from the horde stashes .
That could be an issue. Very good point. I think his distribution is pretty good. I am sure he has taken that into consideration, right Jim? Jim?...Jim. 😂😉
This is a awesome Build shades of the old days, what I see is needed is real horsepower 800 to 900 Hp what a trippy ride that would be the Look is outstanding so is your workmanship .
I think it would look alot better if you cut the front end off and mount a radiator way in the front, and some headlights kinda model a style, maybe ever get super fancy and do a long sheet metal hood going all the way to the front
they use the heatcompound (thats Thermal Paste ) under computer chips / processors and under transistors , the stuff is a little expensive but youre probably be able to find it in computer and electronics stores
“Semi-gloss weld strengthen-er”, I’m gonna use that some day 😊
Where are all the likes & subs everyone ? Keep doing your thing as long as it's fun man , I love to see the videos.
This man is an absolute menace with a sawzall. Love the humor.
This is great. See real car mechanic-ing is suppose to be as wild as this. And not buggered up with red tape and emissions controls

That would be a Monster! 😃❤👍
Or a Hemi
Or one from a ran down dodge truck
I love the way you think outside the box and make it work. It's funny alright I can't stop laughing. Very cool
The old-time hot-rodders would be proud of this they used what they had to go fast

Absolutely Correct! 🙂👍
I could see him actually using one of the big tubs
If Hank Hill was a backyard garage mechanic. 😂 Create engineering too sir.
Great explanation on the weight distribution
One word: total Bad assery! No doubt about it. She sounds gnarly coming str8 off those long tunes. Anticipating part tres...

Looking forward to seeing you at the duct tape drag race.

That this is too cool!
Too much math! Gave me a headache!😂
Just kidding. Can't wait to see this thing run down the track now!
Cherokee people having a stroke
Me (wrangler guy) - this is great
And once again you are working on probably the coolest project on automotive UA-cam!
Success! It is funny looking.
Quite creative. I've never seen a funny car that looked anything like this.

One of the most entertaining channels here 👍👍👍
Love your unique way of thinkin’, that thing is sweet!

Looks awesome 👍
Keep doing your thing as long as it's fun man
I LOVE IT!! That looks so silly that it's Awesome!! 😛😍🥰🤪❤
(I'm glad you did the right thing with the distributor). 🙂
i really enjoyed seeing your thought process behind the front suspension extension. shows the method behind the madness .
Man I love the vision you have. See it and whack apart put it together!!
Man if you could push the fenders up over the wheels and fill in at the cowl area it definitely would complete the funny car look!!
Keep having fun brother. Thanks for sharing your adventures!!!
I’m having fun. Can’t wait to see the next part, and see it on the drag strip.
I like to use silver weld strengthener. Amazing how strong paint is! 🤣

You should give out a t-shirt to whoever can guess days til the next video 😆👍💪🔧
😎👍🇺🇲
At first I thought this was a Gambler 500 rig.
I can now see where this is going.👍
You, my friend, inspire the hell outta me

That's a lot of work just to get those headers to fit!
I hope there is a funniest funny car category... you are a shoe in!
Gravel driveway sounds like a staging at the dragstrip!
Absolutely brilliant love it. This man is a genius 🤙👍🤟🚐

Just awesome! Looking forward to seeing it run down the strip!
I love this. It’s violent, sketchy, artistic, weird, different, attention getting, and cool factor is there on a budget. Win all around.
This is why I immediately subscribed, shared with the few friends I have and knew this channel was going places. Christmas every time you upload.

I think he explained in the previous video that's he's keeping it, as it is currently providing a chunk of the strength for the front wheels.
@@joedingo7022 I probably missed that video. I think you're right for sure, you can see it conencted to the front levered from further back. That would not be too hard to fix with some triangulation up to the firewall. It will be interesting to see future videos on the progression on this Jeep.

Still don't trust my welds but I'm going to drive this as fast as possible😂😂😂

You need Leepu to finish the body now. Keep a stack of old washing machines for metal. I'm thinking Pakistani bus theme, with all the trimmings.
Them engine mounts are something to watch when you were playing with the timing light.

Sure to be a head turner. I like that u kinda think like me. Not like everyone else. Great video
Awesome video thanks for sharing hope you have a great weekend
This is pretty cool. I think you should give it the stinkbug treatment
Really like this channel and your projects. Replacing the stamped lower control arms will go a long way and improve the 60' due to flex. You can prob crank some out from the horde stashes .
Misc... Radiator... Pile..
Sometimes you just know some people would only be slightly inconvenienced by a post apocalypse.
love ur videos , nice and u have about it all laying around Great videos makes my days joyfull to watch ur videos !!
This is my favorite jeep in the world!
What an ordeal with that distributor tucked in back there
Sir you are a madman😂. God bless you 🙏🏻🤘🍻🍻😂
For the heat-sink compound should also be able to get tubes of it from computer repair stores...if any are around...as well.
$ 150 elect. steering from a Kia junkyard would be a upgrade. (Several E-Steering) to choose under $200. Hiding radiator would be amazing
I think the problem with having to much weight on the back wheels will be at speed
on lose metal and the rear wants to swap ends with the front.....
That could be an issue. Very good point. I think his distribution is pretty good.
I am sure he has taken that into consideration, right Jim? Jim?...Jim. 😂😉
Go to a computer store for heat sink compound. We use it on CPU coolers.
👏👍 looking good
My former girlfriend Grace 's mom had a Grand Cherokee. '98, dark blue, gray trim, 242 six.
This takes me back to the altered fuel class days. Squirrelly and fast. Love it ! You are a top notch mcgyver of vehicle modification.
looks like your having lots of fun as usual , good going.
I SO love your videos. I am absolutely _confounded_ by your lack of Subscribers.
Where _is_ everyone? 😕 🤩🥰
this thing is gonna be fun
You know if I organized your stuff for you there's a floor there somewhere😂😂😂
Looks wild and fast ,great work..
8:50 I like Double-D shapes.
The physical embodiment of "Just because it can be done, should it?" Answer: Yes.
❤❤❤❤❤you should have a 1/2 a million subscriber 👍👍👍👍👍👋👋👋👋👋👋👍👍you are awesome and funny .
Love the piles of parts. Very organized for no one but you. I can relate. Letttttttssssss gooooooo!
This is a awesome Build shades of the old days, what I see is needed is real horsepower 800 to 900 Hp what a trippy ride that would be the Look is outstanding so is your workmanship .
Wild thang you make my heart sang
Excellent ingenuity yet again.
Great build!
That thing is turning out awesome
Reall great video as usual.
Cut the top off and turn it into a bucket hot rod. That's actually pretty cool
As usual you did a great job
This thing is great, love the channel!
Hey! Hey!! Hot rod funny Jeep!!! Cooooolll!!!
Maybe you could machine the Jeep wheel bolt pattern into the MG rotors and eliminate the adapters. That sounds like it would be fun!
True man episode 👍
Dude you rule as you have fun.....
You are amazing!
Could go to a computer store to get thermal paste, even the cheapest stuff they sell should work fine
Awesome 👍🇺🇸
Looking great! I can't wait to see part 3 and it run down the track.
I think it would look alot better if you cut the front end off and mount a radiator way in the front, and some headlights kinda model a style, maybe ever get super fancy and do a long sheet metal hood going all the way to the front
Now this is a legit goofy ahh car 😂😂 🚗
Extend and move the front forward so it fits again.. 😁👍
Love it
Need motorcycle wheels on the front
OR old VW wheels and tires
“Skinny Minni’s”
Excellent video Glenn :) also get cooler by minute you do this truck and looking forward more videos on this build also much more !
they use the heatcompound (thats Thermal Paste ) under computer chips / processors and under transistors , the stuff is a little expensive but youre probably be able to find it in computer and electronics stores
Aluminum antisieze is great heat sink compound
