You guys are going to get hammered by the safety police. LOL

I'm with Grandma Lolly. I am not a cat person. But, that little cat you have has to be the coolest cat ever.

@clivehorridge 10 месяцев назад

Almost 6,000 views in 17 minutes, is a good sign of the popularity of this channel. Greetings from Romania ❤🇷🇴

@melindaivey4772 10 месяцев назад

When you guys are grinding over your head and you're looking up you need to be wearing safety glasses. I know that you've done it a thousand times but it only takes one time for something bad to happen. Take care of your eyes

@xjeeper1 10 месяцев назад

Time will tell how the CORE lower 4-Link bracket bolts hold up. A design improvement would be to drill larger pass thru holes and weld in bolt sleeves to prevent the uni-rail from compressing. Over time, the bolts will loosen from the flex in the uni-rail. I sleeved my XJ front suspension mounting points and also the steering box bolt holes when I plated the uni-rails front to back and it's been solid for over 15yrs.

Sean is a tremendous asset; calm, unflappable and capable! Grandma Lolly may not like cats, but he sure likes her!

Sean never complains about anything he jumps in and gets it done.

@marvincarter870 10 месяцев назад

Paul, Sean and Lando and Gary did some awesome upgrades on Gary's Jeep. Going to be much better.

@mntmantimes 10 месяцев назад

I bought one of those green 40 oz Snap On hammers so I could be as cool as you, Paul, however I still like the feel of my wooden-handled hammers better.

@bradleymadosh911 10 месяцев назад

You guys are the best I can't wait to see what is next to be Built. Shawn is killing it on busting these jobs out and Paul Amazes me at what he does. Wish Ben was here thow. Ben makes me laugh. Great job filming Landon

@steelmill 10 месяцев назад

Really like the simplicity of those Cherokees, Nice job.

@Joe-hz1nw 10 месяцев назад

It blows my mind they stopped making them, even if they got rid of the I-6 (emissions unfortunately 🤮 ), they would have still sold like hotcakes.

@The_Samsquantch 10 месяцев назад

I'm a simple man, I see an XJ, I automatically like the video. Also another good upgrade is the rear disc conversion on those. You can rob parts from a Jeep Liberty's rear axle for that job.

@SirensC3 10 месяцев назад

I do appreciate that you address the comments. Sometimes I feel like RU-vidrs just do what they want and don’t give a … what people think or explain why you make some of the decisions you do.

@grant6173 10 месяцев назад

Look. I been watching this channel for years. Way before the golden nugget. I showed this channel to my Mom. She's like yeah. Her Dad always tore down the engines and set the parts aside for the winter. Reassembled in the spring. She loved this crap. Doesn't fit. Cut. Weld. Lubricate. You guys did me a solid. Mom passed. Anyway. Canadians do 2 things. Show up and work hard. Or. Apologize for accidentally be8ng the best.

@mineaim7066 10 месяцев назад

On the WJ knuckle swap, the XJ/WJ upper ball joints are the same part number, but on the lowers you should use WJ ball joints because the taper is different.

@rememberthis8795 10 месяцев назад

Props for using a crescent wrench! In all the years my dad was a service manager and even in retired life, he had multiple size crescent wrenches in his toolbox, and of course no power ratchets or anything. I love the channel and the whole family. Many Blessings!

@POWER-LINKS 10 месяцев назад

Tip of the Day: Don't buy both S.A.E. and Metric adjustable wrench sets. For most applications, they'll interchange. True story.

@TrzCharlie 10 месяцев назад

Hey Michell, we use Factor at our house. They are really good. We do four meals a week with Factor to make meals easier. Not a commercial. Just the truth.

Fixin the old XJ, nice!! WJ brakes is a great idea!!

@maxironpaw 10 месяцев назад

I thought using a crescent wrench when you have a shop full of tools was a Utah thing. You, Matt, Robbie all do it. Rory does not seem to but then he's monowrenchic.

@evilbrat5376 10 месяцев назад

It's coming along nicely so far my friends. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God bless.

@robertf4540 10 месяцев назад

I can't believe how tiny those stock front rotors were! I've seen bigger rotors on a go-cart! That is a must have upgrade! Good job!

@jeepindave5464 10 месяцев назад

Gotta remember the xj was designed in 1984. They had 120 horsepower and 27 inch tires. They grew greatly in the 90s and the brakes never caught up. Then add massive tires it's rough. The WJ fixed a bunch of the 90s jeeps short comings.

@Lexidezi225 10 месяцев назад

These things were tiny grocery getters. The Dana 30 is like the weakest of them all. That really should have been upgraded to a 44 from the start. He now has a ton of money and work into a very weak front end. But hey at least he’s having fun that’s really all that matters in the end!

@jefftabor595 10 месяцев назад

Good work by Lando and the green hammer! Of course the rest of the crew too

@ryanharding4199 10 месяцев назад

Nice intro Gramma Lolly! I've been cat scanned! ahahahahahahah Love our Fab Rats!!

@leocarlos74 10 месяцев назад

Great job. Might want to weld that upper track bar brace to the frame rail and use a brace connecting both frame rail. You'll start getting flex over time. Love my XJ. 😊

@randytolle6706 10 месяцев назад

PPE GUYS. PLEASE

@DigiacomoDave 6 месяцев назад

Just be sure to make sure that rear shackle angle is at 45 deg..once I put some relocation brackets in and tweaked the shackle angle I don't have anymore weird steering or body roll issues any longer.

@patrickgreen2361 10 месяцев назад

Everyday getting to watch Fab Rats is an excellent day.

@jeepindave5464 10 месяцев назад

Awesome. I would replaced that inner c before welding reinforcement on it.

Whatever it takes to get the job done. Be it mechanical, body fabrication, be Johnny on the spots for other's. When the need arises. You are truly well rounded caring individuals. Each one of serves the channel perfectly. Bless you all 🙏

@kirk467 10 месяцев назад

Y’all are doing a job for a customer, great to see! I thought y’all used to work on customer vehicles when I first started watching the channel! Good to see this repair! 👌🏻👍🏼👍🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Hello Lando, camera man! You go my friend!

@johnnyadams1755 10 месяцев назад

Another great day in the shop and a bit of scenery, what more could you ask for?😊

@terrynye3995 10 месяцев назад

Paul when the adjustable wrench fits and it works that means it's the right wrench

@theninja001 10 месяцев назад

I would have liked to see a forklift flex test, before and after the install to see the improvement!

@xxBlazinBobxx 10 месяцев назад

Fab from scratch is fun to watch, but a kit install like this is what most people will do and it helps to see how these go in. 9:01 Who doesn't like queso fundido?! Melted cheese makes everything delicious!

@michaelkraus5237 10 месяцев назад

Love the channel guys ! Ive watched every episode and learn something new with you guys every episode! Just my 2 cents You guys should cut an access door in the tool box so when things drop down you can just open the back up . Cheers guys keep the content rolling in .

@heartsky 10 месяцев назад

Owned 2 XJ's, super little 4x4's. Put a locker in the rear, 2 inch lift and those things will go everywhere.

@Bobbywolf64 10 месяцев назад

Crazy coincidence. I am in the middle of doing the same WJ swap on my YJ right now. The bottom ball joint is the important one to change, since the WJ ball joint is a slightly different taper on the lower. The top is fine to leave. The bent C is a little concerning however!

@anthonylee2099 10 месяцев назад

Great job. Paul, Sean and Landon filming. Project made easier with a lift. Great kit. 🤙😎

@johnwiggill17 10 месяцев назад

Michelle, I took your advice and ordered up some Factor Meals. Since I'm a fat-ass I chose the low-carb (keto) meals and I love them! Other meal services don't even offer low-carb plans so I really like Factor for that reason. Super tasty, no prep, just a couple of minutes in the micro! I'm definitely a fan! Thanks!

@professornuke7562 10 месяцев назад

Socks now owns you. Feature him on a T-shirt and I'll buy that fer a dollar! Plus the AUD exchange rate and shipping!

Hey Paul, Mitchell is looking good, we should see more of her.

@chrislongbeard 10 месяцев назад

When I did this conversion years ago, I had to get WJ rotors drilled to 5x4.5. I guess there is a rotor that's come out since that is bolt on.

@spiketro 10 месяцев назад

I love XJ's. The first vehicle i bought was a white 92 xj sport. I gave myself and dozens of other people stories that they probably tell people to this day. I had 3 XJ's in total. The 2nd one i kinda hit a telephone pole at 55 mph and flipped and rolled at least once. They are tough, light, and in my opinion one of if not the best vehicle ever made. In all fairness the 2nd probably saved my life.

@cottonclub6545 10 месяцев назад

Paul don’t know if you read comments,, but your steel billet cam vs iron gear is not compatible! As far as I know there only three sizes of distributor shafts. .5 , .491 , .427. Small cap Tbi distributor is .427 . Crower number 76002 is a .427 bronze gear.. But I would run a melonized gear . You can get them in .427 diameter anywhere , like summit .

@COM70 10 месяцев назад

Good job Landon ! Nice 👍 cut rate seems a bit too fast this week though. Jump cuts are ok at a slow pace.

@TheOldaz1 10 месяцев назад

Interesting upgrades to the Jeep. Looks to be pretty straight forwards and brake improvement would be welcome.

@terrynye3995 10 месяцев назад

And so you know Paul I enjoy watching you Matt and Robbie and Roy and I learned a whole lot from all of y'all I definitely appreciate it

@Ckymacias 10 месяцев назад

Yes love XJ videos! He’s going to need Barnes frame stiffeners welded in next to keep the unibody from cracking! I fixed a few for others!

@acurarl9929 10 месяцев назад

The 4 bolts on four link bracket to frame are to hold it while you weld it. I’d nvr relying on them 4 bolts. Lol

@xfactor5876 10 месяцев назад

was hoping for a bit of a how to on the break swap. The big jump in filming kinda nixed that opportunity.

@87fubar 10 месяцев назад

when i did the wj brake setup the wheel/tire combo i picked up off market place had those stick on wheel weights 5 foot later found the weird noise

@sharplanceforge1898 10 месяцев назад

10:20 thru 11:06 I bet the Core company you received the kit from were laughing their rears off that Paul, "Paul'd it"! I so see myself in that same situation often! Good humor keeps the frustration levels down.

@joshmacneal2545 10 месяцев назад

I have Core 4x4’s radius arm kit on my XJ and drilling out the frame rails for those big bolts was the hardest part. Especially since the previous owner put some kind of crap almost like concrete inside the frame as a reinforcement.

@joshmacneal2545 10 месяцев назад

I must have gotten one of their earlier designs because both bolts went all the way through the frame.

Besides the Fabulous work your do, which you make look easy, you and your group are most always smiling, no matter what you're doing. At the risk of profiling, your "clean cut" selves, absent usual and customary tattoos, beards, and often facial piercings, are additive to (some) viewers! Well packaged in sum total.

@JB-ro3sz 10 месяцев назад

rear disc brakes are the best upgrade to do on a jeep like that. i swapped a grand cherokee rear disc brake axle into my yj on 35's and could no believe the braking improvment
