JEEP CHEROKEE XJ RADIATOR AND HEADER PANEL REPAIR AFTER A CRASH - JEEP LIFE
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- Taking some time to help a fellow Jeeper in need. Mike, a local dude had the misfortune of striking a deer. It demolished his grill, half of his header panel and punctured his radiator. He reached out for some help after finding my let go parts adds and recognized me from UA-cam (so cool!) I helped him source parts on ebay (thanks DeadJeeps) and then we put it all together one cold afternoon.
Some important things to note - Early 90s light bezels are diffrent from mid 90's! and when doing a radiator swap don't forget the trans fluid!
Thanks for watching!

Dan the Jeep Fairy God Mother :) wish I was local to Dan!!
fairy god FATHER! 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks again dan xj back on the road running amazing couldn't have had a better time while fixing the jeep.
Your welcome Mike! Glad I could help! It was definitely a great time. Looking forward to more XJ projects on "Cinderella" soon!
Nice job Dan.It all ways feels good when you can help out a fellow jeeper....
It definitely does Dan!
Miss this xj probably picking up a 96 soon
Oh no, What happened??
Sold a while back its still on the road some girl in mastic bought I'll see it occasionally.
Love videos like this man Jeepers helping each other. Keep it coming brother.
Will do man! thanks for tuning in!!!
you are totally correct Dan! the engine bay on the XJ was designed for a 2.5 I4 and the 2.8 V6 which it got for the 84-86 model years and then they crammed the AMC 242 4.0L in there and the rest is history!
Haha, I thought so! I love Jeep trivia!
Your shop layout is sick!!🙌🏽
Thanks Mike! The birthplace of the Wheel of Misfortune 2.0 and a perpetual quest to optimize spacial efficiency!
Glad to see jeepers helping jeepers
Absolutely! We gotta Stick together!
Love to see Jeeper’s helping Jeeper’s! Great video
Thanks brother!
That's super awesome of you to help him out. Keep on killing it on the xj video's brother 🤙
Thanks Marc, Will Do!
That deer scared me. Ive hit 2 within 16 months
Dang, sorry to hear that. Deer Suck!
How ironic, My son just hit a deer in the front right quarter of his 98 xj - It's homesteading in my front yard while we figure out what to do about it. Not sure how many of it's part might be useful in my 89 xj...so ..maybe we sell it for parts, or start a collection of xj yard art!
Dang! Hope you can repair it! I'd fix it !
Dan you are the quintessential standup dude! I live in East Hampton and I dodge four or five deer every day on my way to work.If one of them finally gets me I’m going to give you a holler
Thanks Rob! They're everywhere!!! 🦌🦌🦌 If that day ever happens be sure to let me know. Stay vigilant brother!
Nice! This shows how good the jeep community is!
Thanks Kim! It was a great experience. Keep Jeepin!
Nice one Dan, good work. Wished I had a boddy like you to help work on mine.
Thanks Koda, thats very nice of you to say. All the best Brother!
That dude yapping while you work would have driven me nuts!
🤣🤣🤣 He was a talker... Good kid tho 😁
You need to give that Jeep even more love
LMAO... yes!
Damn Dan! That is what I am talking about! Jeepers helping Jeepers.... Glad ya'll could get it back on the road and running again. Thanks for the shout out!!! All in good fun, right? I didn't forget about you.. I want to shout out your test bed video in the very near future. gotta stick together, right?!
Absolutely brother! Jeepers helping Jeepers! The guy with the glove box question actually lives in my town!! Same zip code!!! It's a Small world
anyone know the bolt/nut size for the header pannel?
Just now hearing about the bad casting for the 2001 Jeeps, I'm in line to get a good 2001 but I hope I don't have any problems with that, apparently it's only and issue if it's overheated right?
the best bonds are made working on a jeep Cherokee xj ....
Absolutely
It you have a head after 01 that has TUPY stamped in the casting between the 3rd and 4th cylinder then you have the updated head and your good. Open the oil cap and look straight down with a flash light and you will see it if it's the updated head. My 01 hasn't have me any issues yet thank god
You are correct! I believe the TUPY head came on the TJs after they discontinued the XJs. I have a TUPY on the 4.0 thats goin in Beach Jeep. Unfortunately Black Beauty, my 00, doesn't have a TUPY, but I've been babying her and she's only at 95k miles. Thanks for watching!
If you see one deer, remember, there's four more behind him. I know...
You must have been freezing you @$$ off if this was last weekend! It was 2 degrees on sunday at the D&E Garage
Yeah man! It was definitely cold. It's killing my work on Beach Jeep! Couple more months and we should be rockin and rolling again!
You're a cool bro.
Thanks Lester!
Nice dude, when can I drop mine off?
Oh no! You got blasted by a deer too? I'll pencil ya in for next weekend 😉!
got here from D&E
Welcome Ken, thanks for coming over! Hope you enjoy! D&E is a great channel.
Yes . Lmfaooo
😁
Its -26 as I'm watching this in Fargo.
For me and the deer.
-26!?! Can Jeeps even start at that temp? lol. Hang in there Jim, it can only get warmer from there! (I hope!!!) The coldest its been on LI so far this winter was single digits (above zero). Thanks for watching, stay warm!
Oh sure, modern fuel injected engines do well in the winter here especially if they have a block heater. When I started driving in the 70s we had it much rougher. Trying to start a carbureted V-8 full of thick dino oil wasn't fun. I remember warming your tools in the oven and then wrapping them in a towel before going outside to work on your beater. Tomorrow's low -37F. That's not the windchill either.
@@jimflaherty2678 I couldn't even imagine working on a car in temperatures that cold! But if I ever have to, I'll keep in mind your tool warming trick!
