In this video we continue working on operation cheap jeep. Here is the playlist if you need the videos in order, save this link to your browser: bit.ly/2iaV0sx In the last video we left off having lifted the rear of the Grand Cherokee, well for the most part... In this video we finish off that rear lift by adding some upper rear control arms from a stock Jeep JK. This corrects the angle of the dangle. We also remove the front control arms, replace u-joints in a set of axle shafts, and deal with a slight situation when the Cam bolts seize up in their mounts.

woah woah woah.... roll it back now for newbies! when putting in NEW control arms that run bushings, always put the vehicle on the ground under its own weight before you tighten the bolts!

@fiveninegarage 3 года назад

I even do that with ones that aren’t bushings

cheap jeep is my intro to your channel. got my first 'Jeep' recently and doing a cheap jeep of my own. your channel is awesome and informative. keep shoveling the info. you got my jeep looking awesome!

@bleepinjeep 7 лет назад

what took you so long bro?

@jerkyman7057 7 лет назад

Bought a Kayak......so the next logical thing to get was a Jeep. then of course the jeep was too low and the tires were too small...... and the spiral began. so.... here I am. student at Jeep-U.

@artummomenti3147 3 года назад

It's like watching Mr. Rogers build a jeep. I have been watching you for years now. I rebuilt my XJ with your great vids. Just passed 360,000 miles and it's running better than ever. Thanks.

@russelljowett7258 7 лет назад

Hey Matt. That was a great video! This is exactly why doing the cheap jeep project is so great! When we have a small budget it's amazing how creative things can get! Also thanks for the Tie Rod tip! You just saved me the cost of that fork tool! 😬

@bleepinjeep 7 лет назад

no prob bob, thanks for watching!

@ricardoedgardyarzagaray4763 7 лет назад

@bleepinjeep 7 лет назад

it is true though!

@vgullotta 7 лет назад

BleepinJeep yeah I totally agree, I laughed cause it's happened in more than one occasion for me lol

Another great video! Thumbs and well done!

@arthurbothamjr8104 7 лет назад

I use the pitman arm puller on TRE's.

@Wrenchlife604 7 лет назад

When seperating tierods you should wack the side of the knuckle. When you hit the stud. You wear the cup of the ballsocket. And thats usualy where tierods crap out at.

@rustybrowneye 7 лет назад

Wrench life 604 i dissagree. its beeing held in the taper of the knuckle. so the force of the hammer hit on the nut is not pounding the ball into the socket

@Wrenchlife604 7 лет назад

everone has there own way. ask 3 techs get 3 different answers

@choking0smurf 7 лет назад

At the shop i work at we arnt aloud to hammer on stud. We hit the side of the knuckle. I personally would never hit the stud. Could wear out joint faster.

@bleepinjeep 7 лет назад

this could be true but I could also see it being one of those old wives tales taken as fact... I'd like to see some evidence or testing on this subject.

@678friedbed 7 лет назад

BleepinJeep hit what it goes through and if it don't work get a bigger hammer. it works and it's faster.

@jeepsterdaddy37 7 лет назад

It's good to see someone else make they're own cam bolt too. lol I did mine about 5 years ago and it's still good.

@GARYD9100 7 лет назад

Glad to see you are doing a ZJ

@braydenschmanski537 7 лет назад

One trick for lower control arm bolts seized to the sleeve is to press it out with a ball joint press... Worked for me multiple times.

@jasonguest5820 7 лет назад

hahahaha OMG the seized bushing thing! I just went through it with a Subaru changing the rear knuckles out. I had to use a pack of cutoff wheels in the end.

I have done the castle nut thing and found that using a two jaw puller works better. I have on more than one occasion run into some tough studs and drove the nut on over the threads.

@ryanbear1808 7 лет назад

Matt you're awsome

@jmsdishman1 7 лет назад

you have awesome very cool toys. big to little. thanks so much for the look.

@coltonflak1126 7 лет назад

Trim the bumper on the ZJ! I was having the same thoughts as you before but ended up trimming the corners basically where the lines are to the middle slots, then just zip tieing the bottom part where the slots are to the radiator support (I eventually swapped my radiator support witha Kevins Off Road Support, protects the radiator better and gives you front tow points for pretty cheap!)

@mudhound0530 7 лет назад

excellent weld fix on that socket. I wouldn't use it on the impact any more though

When you hate going to the store lol

@thelagmeister 3 года назад

I always imagine the store is right next to his house.

@huggy2 7 лет назад

I would invest in a good air hammer! Rusted in bolts don't stand a chance against one. It's helped me on more than one occasion of a stuck bolt. Don't you just love living in the snowy, salty, Northeast?!

@calebruttan9330 7 лет назад

Matt I have a question? I have a 1992 yj with leaf springs. do you have a video to convert from leaf to 4 link? what are your thoughts on that. im just wanting more articulation. btw love the videos

@andrewsanders5774 7 лет назад

i'm not gonna lie, I'm a little depressed that this is the last video so far on the Cheap Jeep series. I just noticed you posted it yesterday so I will wait for the next one! Oh and I have heard the Just Empty Every Pocket before but in my 3+ years of Jeep ownership (3yrs of a ZJ and 2 weeks of XJ) I haven't found that true. Although I have replaced many MANY parts they are extremely cheap and/or could be found in the junk yard. Try the BMW or Subaru world and youll see how pricey stuff gets haha

@christopherwebb3192 7 лет назад

just bought a 98 zj. been reading alot about issues with the cv front driveshaft and how it destroys itself once you lift it. was wondering if you've found anything to fix that. coolly videos btw. 😆

@angelbernes1153 7 лет назад

yes you are going all the way .broke a socket we got to weld ...haha you are in character

@danielwoolfe1135 5 лет назад

Flashbacks to the dentists chair @ 8:08

@moneymac2864 7 лет назад

Tip: to remove the tie-rod bolt hit the spindle with the sledge (do not use the method where you hit down on the castle nut) ...again...hit the side of the spindle where the tie-rod enters the spindle...

@dillonwells5649 7 лет назад

ah that monster truck at the end was at monster jam in toronto on saturday

@dirtydirtrider6393 4 года назад

Had the same problem with the cam bolts if you're not using the bushing heat the crap out of with a torch.

@badasz09 7 лет назад

I had to do the same thing to both of my front lowers on my wrangler (cut through the bolt)

@skydude38 7 лет назад

Hey Matt, where did you hear that the upper rear JK control arms will fit on the Cherokee? I'd love to read a thread on that. Do you know the max lift those control arms will work with?

@MrWearerobotsnow 7 лет назад

You make some strange noises. I like it.

@xmo552 4 года назад

That's what she said ♂️

@frostbitten333 7 лет назад

how are those jk control arms working so far?

@drywallsculptingwithjason7137 2 года назад

i know this video is older but i have a question. if you have the double cardan shaft and you tip the dif upwards pointing at the tcase, wouldnt that cause your castor to change and be steering into the ground?

@LoganLovell 7 лет назад

reminds me of all the fun times I've had getting rusted bolts out and hurting myself more and more each time :) I love it (sarcasm)

@shermaddictedtorc8540 7 лет назад

if using air tools on vehicles buy a set of impact sockets standard sockets will not take the abuse..well worth the $$$$$.

@ddcraun 6 лет назад

Stuck control arm bolt? Press it out with a ball joint press. Had to do that on my LJ

@g-man1637 7 лет назад

Wow 143k+ subs. Really enjoy your channel. Maybe trying a longer bushing instead of stacking washers on the control arm. Just a thought. Shared

@moneymac2864 7 лет назад

Also, a "too tight" u-joint is a severe problem that can lead to destruction of the slip-yoke and the transmission and torque converter...

@downsouthspeed1133 3 года назад

I was just wondering, do you maybe have a lift for a zj that I could buy from you. I have been watchin your videos for a while now. But just now realized we are from the same area. Figured you would be my best bet for a used lift.

@middleway1885 Год назад

Yummy tips and laughs

@bildergilder 7 лет назад

Im thinking of doing this to my own grand cherokee. What was the length of the upper control arm from the jk and could I use a coil from a dodge 2500? or a ford super duty?

@Frenchmadnezz34 5 лет назад

I had issues with an upper CA cam bolt when it got pinched between the arm and the sleeve in the bracket and ended up smoking the threads getting it out

@rustybrowneye 7 лет назад

you have so many toys in your garage, i would have sold one along time ago to buy a lift.

@bleepinjeep 7 лет назад

with 8' ceilings I could only lift the jeep about 12 inches before it would hit the ceiling!

@rustybrowneye 7 лет назад

BleepinJeep ur a handy guy and i bet u got handy freinds, make it tall enough for a lift.

@xmo552 4 года назад

Mr. Bear... sir, that would be like selling off your children.

@mikelazcano1310 Год назад

1/2 inch socket weld! Go with it

@master6676 6 лет назад

Where is this Pull Apart at? They have a nice clean yard

@pkuudsk9927 7 лет назад

Just a suggestion for anyone who wants to up grade suspension on a old truck. 1 Before you start spray pb blaster on every part you need to remove ,bolts nuts Everything. 2 drive the truck for a day or 2. 3 repeat 2 4 repeat 2 and 3 5 repeat again. 6 have torches and cut off wheels in plenty Normally doing 1 to 5 will work and everything will come free. 7 Don't start any suspension work until you do this.

@xmo552 4 года назад

You meant repeat step 1 👍😉

@neekneek4372 7 лет назад

get an air hammer they are grate tool for stuck parts

@1995Duncan1995 7 лет назад

Is that a rhode island plate I see at 11:45?

@williamminton3105 5 лет назад

I just purchased my first lifted truck 1995 Nissan Pathfinder. the front axle is from a 85 Wagoneer the rear coils are from a bronco sway bar has been removed the panhard bar has been removed and the front differential has a severe downward droop to it, therefore the front drive shaft is disconnected. What would be the proper and safe angle for me to reconnect the drive shaft and for it to drive stable

@45shutr1 7 лет назад

For those pesky camber bolts I prefer the judicious application of a little dynamite...C4 for those that are REALLY stuck.

@ryanl7379 7 лет назад

would the control arms from a jku work also?

@miguelolivares7967 4 года назад

What is the length of the upper rear jk control arms center of bushing to center of bushing

@SaberToothLawnTigers 7 лет назад

Mat great video but you either need to talk louder or have quieter music!

@DjLucasStable 7 лет назад

one question if you just want some what of a longer control arm (long arm) could i do that on a stock 1993 jeep grand cherokee Laredo i have been planning on this for a while of doing a cheap jeep but i think its allready to late i had to have a front drive shaft custom made because all the ones i was finding are to long do you have a tire size that u r going to put on ur jeep i thought of a 31" or a 33"

@coils1945 5 лет назад

I have a 93 Zj laredo,too. Im thinking of doing this. Really you couldnt find a front driveshaft?

@HawkeyeSkunkWorks 7 лет назад

What front axle shafts are those now? With the U joints instead of CV.....

@bleepinjeep 7 лет назад

from a cherokee

@HawkeyeSkunkWorks 7 лет назад

Thats what I figured. Is there any "cheap" option to swap those end stub shafts to manual locking hubs?

@bigbud7356 7 лет назад

Is the drive shaft bent

@Andrew-dg7qm 4 года назад

I’m struggling to find an answer on this. Got a TJ lift and am fixing death wobble. Do I need a longer control arm or is it possible to change the caster angle with a replacement control arm?

@xmo552 4 года назад

If the wheels are aligned, and balanced, the rims aren't bent, the tire isn't lumpy.... check for worn out bushings, ball joints, and all steering joints. Adjustable control arms are threaded so they're extendable so you can fine tune your pinion angle/caster.

@austinnoble3012 7 лет назад

You should put the rough country jeep winch mounting plate for a 93-98 zj for $229 .95

@Maxvett 7 лет назад

Why did you swap the cv axle to an u joint axle

@chrismcbride555 7 лет назад

So I have the same jeep... I was wondering can I get jk lower control arms for the rear and take the stock one's and put them on the front? My Jeep has a 2 inch lift right now but it's not enough and the last owner didn't do anything except bigger shocks and spacers so it rides a little funny right now... also when I lift my zj what parts do I have to replace to keep a smooth ride/ avoid easy breaks, breath wobbles, ect, ect. I'm only 15 but my jeep is my favorite pas time and I want to get her fixed up before the summer months

@bleepinjeep 7 лет назад

@marka.2715 7 лет назад

Matt, I am not familiar with those cam bolts. What is there purpose? To aid in adjustment of castor angle?

@bleepinjeep 7 лет назад

+Mark A. I'll walk you through it in the next video but yes it basically just makes the arm shorter or longer by a small amount

@marka.2715 7 лет назад

BleepinJeep Thanks Matt. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see how the ZJ turns out.

@alexanderunden8607 7 лет назад

It is so much cheaper in USA! JK control arms from the junkyard in Sweden will cost me around 150 dollars for 2....

@ryanl7379 7 лет назад

what are the measurements hole to hole?

@jamieround2072 7 лет назад

CAN U SHOW US ALL THE DIFFERANCE IN THE 2 TYPES OF DRIVE SHAFT'S PLZZ ON THE JEEPS.........

@RedEyedJack 7 лет назад

won't welding that bolt take the temper out of it and cause it to be weak and possibly break?

@27dcx 7 лет назад

So does heating up a bolt with a torch but people do it all the time. I think it would be ok since if anything you are annealing the bolt making it softer and more ductile rather than harder and more brittle.

@RedEyedJack 7 лет назад

27dcx that makes sense but if I ever heat a bolt I replace it. It may not be necessary but it give me piece of mind anyway.

@jighead81 6 лет назад

alright alright alright, I give up, what is the bracket for the rear track bar? I can't find it on RC's site. I have a 97 xj with 3.5" lift btw.

@bleepinjeep 6 лет назад

+Steve D you have to call them to get it separate from the lift

@tigrcky 7 лет назад

a better trick to getting the tierod end out is hammer on the knuckle, that way you dont run any risk of maring up the threads on the ball joint!

@Rich9143 6 лет назад

How to determine if the cam bolts are positioned correctly? I am trying to DIY align my zj, caster too.

@nathanharris3946 6 лет назад

My Off-Road Obsession i am trying to figure out the same thing with my zj. Did you ever find any answers?

@Rich9143 6 лет назад

Nathan Harris truly comes down to pointing it at the Tcase. Having a double cardan front driveshaft is exactly as having an SYE. The aim in regards to caster is to find a balance between too much caster (Might steer like a Grand Marquis but you'll have driveline vibes) and too little caster (Might be 100% directed with the front yoke of the tcase but will drive "squirly" and could even result in death wobble if you've already got even the slightest wear in your steering/suspension components).

@iBoBPS3 7 лет назад

Couldn't you heat the cam bolt to relieve some of the stress?

@bleepinjeep 7 лет назад

not really, its surrounded by rubber.
