@@OverlandingOzarks seeing how much you enjoy your rig makes me want a wj again because I never will be able to do that in my wk2. Solid axle and quadradrive is amazing.
My first 4x4 was an 01 Grand with 3 inches of lift and 33s. The v8 died twice in that jeep(it had issues). BUT 5 jeeps later and I am thinking, a v8WJ would be a fun crawler rig or overlander build.
Your wj looks amazing but you have forgotten what i think is the most important item for overlanding.... A winch. You need a winch brother. Better safe than sorry. Again, love your jeep.
@@daryokenar6215 There is a company called HK offroad. They make a hidden winch mount tha hide the winch inside the factory bumper and it looks super clean. But even if they didn't have that option, in my opinion, i think it is better to sacrifice looks for safety. Specifically if you wheel alone. I'm gonna go as far as installing one in the back of my wj. The majority of the times i have gotten stuck, I had to be pulled from the back because going farther forward was not a option.
Anyone else have a really good experience with the 4.7? I drove my moms around when I was 16 and despite my mom never servicing it, it ran great. It would also run neck and neck with early 2000's mustang gt's up to 100mph. When the radiator went out at 230k the engine was slowly starting to lose performance and smoke a little. But I know it would've lasted a lot longer with religious maintenance. Definitely looking to buy one in the future to go with my Camaro.
Hi Do you need some great lighting for your car to help you better driving, off-road. We're the pro auto lighting manufacturer for nearly 20 year and we're looking for sponsorship!
Great video! Looking forward to see where you can take this beast! Did you have to upgrade anything besides the lift to run 35s like axle shafts? What drivetrain does your Jeep have?
i own a 21 JLUR and a 04' WJ 4.7 HO when i go wheeling if it's nice out i take the wrangler if it's not i take the grand cherokee shes got 278k on her and still takes a beaten in the woods
Ever had any major problems with these cherokees? I'm thinking about picking one up. Just curious and what would you say is the best years for these rigs
I had an 01 with the factory v8 and the engine blew at 130K. Then the crate replacement engine blew at 80k. SOME, not all, of the v8 engines in the 99-02 were just bad and oil pumps failed.
Owned four of them. One of my favorite Jeeps. Great blend of performance, modern amenities and still with SRA/SFA.
I agree. WJ's are so special! Thanks for watching!
WJs do NOT mess around.
They rock, even stock standard, esp the V8s, on and off-road.
Beasts.
Yes! Love mine!
What’s esp?
Loved watching you drive over that Ford !!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Love that 4.7 sound. I know everybody dumps on the 4.7 but I never had issues with mine.
Love my 4.7! Has been great to me!
Only ones that had issues are non car lovers that believe in 10k mile oil changes.
I love my 2000 WJ 4.7, has 210000 on her and she purrs like a kitten. Depends how you take care of them.
Very nice video!! Congrats! Waiting for the next one! As a Mopar lover....nothing to say about the machines!! Wow!
Thanks for watching!

@@michel69c It's all in the garage waiting to get installed!
Are they reliable?
Yes
What year is this jeep?
What brand of tire is on your wj?I dig the tread design.Looks like it works for all applications.
Great video! Does your roof tent work with the stock roof rack? What brand is it?
Thanks for watching! I made crossbars for it to sit on. The tent is a Bigfoot tent
@@OverlandingOzarksthanks!
I miss driving my 98zj v8 that was the most fun I ever had all the girls loved it..now it sits in my driveway all sad
Just got one for the channel! Can't wait to fix it up!
What size r ur tires? On ur wj
Always liked the WJ!
Never owned one sadly……
You need to! They are the best!
Anyone else have a really good experience with the 4.7?

"pulling a toyota", lol. I own both a 2000 Cherokee XJ and a 2011 FJ Cruiser. Gotta love that IFS 😒. Love my XJ far more.
You could Sell the FJ for 35k and get 10 more XJs lmao
Hard to beat solid axles off road
That's a nice wj, I too have a wj in the Ozarks, I have a Facebook group called Missouri Grand Cherokees, would love to have you!
Awesome! Would be happy to join! Thanks for watching!
Очень крутое видео! 👍

You don't have to, I have a 242 swapped in mine and a new driveshaft for the rear

Классный джип тоже езжу на чероки wj 3.1 турбо дизель😅
Был у меня такой ,лет семь назад,всю душу мне выматал падла!😢
Rule of thumb... Never approach a obstacle on the ground head on from an angle better bet
my Jeep...1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo ZJ 5.2 4x4.
Sick!
SO FKNG COOL!! 😎👍👍
This video is BS! You're making me want to build a WJ.
haha Everyone needs a WJ!
👍👍👍
Прикольно 👍
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Your an "OFF Roading Channel" Why cover up Off Road Sound with crappy Muzak?
Annoying music 🤮
Lifted? And what size tires has?
Ever had any major problems with these cherokees? I'm thinking about picking one up. Just curious and what would you say is the best years for these rigs
WJ's are the best. 1999-2004. 4.0 or 4.7
I had an 01 with the factory v8 and the engine blew at 130K. Then the crate replacement engine blew at 80k. SOME, not all, of the v8 engines in the 99-02 were just bad and oil pumps failed.
I have heard that 08 Had the least complaints and 10 had the best frame and suspension setup
