Off-roading On A Small/Medium Budget! 

What numbers are the tires of your car?

@@castanosoffroad6751 35/12.5/r15

Tyler Dean Are you using the original shock absorbers?

🤘🏻😂

I definitely would like to get wider axles but that will be way in the future. that sounds like and awesome ZJ build!

@@VenturaIT I will be posting videos of the ZJ on RU-vid DFerDirt In the coming days. It drove really bad when we first bought it. All the long arm bushings were shot, the tires were almost worn out and the rear end wandered a lot. We are in the process of rebuilding everything. Once finished, it should do well on the highway.

that is the goal. still getting it all set up!

Overlanding is gay. Rock crawling is better

thank you I appreciate it!

well said👍🏻

thank you very much!

since the kit is already on i cant make an install video but i can make a video on what the kit comes with and how it all goes together

that's a perfect build! did you need to do any trimming?

xjs are awesome! iron rock off-road and bds suspension have great long arm kits for those!

I really appreciate that! thank you!

Thank you

👍🏻🤘🏻

sweet! I think youre gonna love it!

@@MountainRoadAdventure So far we love it it. It's pretty clean. No rust. It does have the death wobble and the security is weird. Still extremely happy. I'm glad you made this video.

there's so many things that can cause death wobble but just start replacing everything on the front end. but thank you!

Thank you!

if you think about it, you don't have to do everything in one year, you can spread it out

Ever compared it to a new Jeep

@@fiveninegarage Ever compared it to a cheaply built zj or xj? staying on the cheap is like 4k or less.

they are super convenient

that's the thing. you don't need to break the bank to have something extremely capable

Keith Lea Where did you find the lift. I also have a 96 Cherokee and am having trouble finding a 4.5 inch lift kit.

yes it has 😂 still works great though

it is stock. it came with the towing package I believe. they are a kind of rare from what I've heard

thank you!

that's awesome! how do you like the 5.9?

I was able to swap it over from the 249 to the 231

it might be but I've never had any issues with it and it's boob like that for almost a year

That's a pretty solid gear ratio for 33s and a 4.0

Right haven't spent that much on it just 9k lmao wish I had 9k to throw around and fix my truck

wow I really did mess that up😂

Thanks for clarifying that, it's what I suspected he was intending to say

Yea, the NP242s get cracks on the AWD planetary gear post’s welds, then eventually “boom”.

galaxy tab a and I mounted it with a mount I found on amazon

All depending on what your budget is

I've had the locker in there for a year now and I've never had issues. I'm not too sure about the long run though

1.5 inches

keep up or get ahead of the maintenance. like hoses and stuff that wears quickly because when you take it Offroad, those parts will wear even quicker and you don't want to break down on the trail. basically slowly go through everything and replace worn parts with either quality or oem parts (besides suspension and Offroad parts) keep the engine reliable and performing well and change all fluids just in case.

@@MountainRoadAdventure Roger that. Thanks

what do you have on yours right now?

i just have a steering stabilizer so far. i’ve been trying to get all the maintenance out of the way before i dig deeper bc it has 329k

no way! what motor?

@@MountainRoadAdventure 4.0! it actually a runs like a monster. i daily it right now until i find another one for a good price again.

that's a lot of miles but that's good that it still runs strong

they are pretty reliable, especially the 4l engine. gas mileage varies but it's usually around 11 to 17mpg

I haven't had any problems out of mine so far. The person before me put 32s on mine and on average it gets around 13

nice! they are amazing jeeps!

thank you!

5.5 lift

@@MountainRoadAdventure The front axle you send a little forward? Do you know how many centimeters?

about 4 cm

jeep has the Cherokee (XJ) and the Grand Cherokee (ZJ). they are 2 different models

I believe it's zero then I have real spacers

wheel spacers*

throughout 1 year and how capable it is for the amount of money

That’s “only” about $25 a day or $345 every 2 weeks.

htownsfinest87 yeah not a budget build

budget doesn't mean cheap. you can have a $100k budget for something

any number is a budget but it's cheaper than buying a tj or jk or jl

@@MountainRoadAdventure that's for sure bud!

they can. honestly depends on how you drive them and what engine you get and certain modifications like tires and axles and weight. going 65 I can get a solid 16 MPG

Actually there do, specially stop and go,

compared to 25k for a Wrangler build and what you are getting out of it

Tyler Dean yeah but 9k isnt cheap build i have a 98 zj i picked up for 400$ ran and drove, i have under 4k and more modified then yours.

what do you have done to it

Tyler Dean alot

ricky Lawson lol lets see it

I think you are gonna love it! just stay up to date on maintenance it's it will treat you well! you can always dm me on Instagram @tyzj5.2 if you have any questions on them!

Time to move here

that's awesome! great deal!

Tyler Dean heck yea man I’m excited to start this thing

like I said the other people, a budget can be any number but it's way better and way more capable than spending 15K on a stock TJ or 45k on a stock jl

Go look at trucks at your local dealership . $9000 is reasonable for a capable truck like this.

@@thelagmeister The video isnt about buying a truck genius... its about affordable upgrades... 9 grand is affordable? totally missed my point by a mile. go back and read it again. lmao. thanks pal have a few trucks... idiot.

i can afford the 9 grand, but that doesnt mean it affordable.! goof.

@@isosceles1476 So what? I have have three 4x4's three other vehicles a motorcycle and a boat. What was the point of what you just said if you think $9000 is too much money but you can afford it? fidiot

thank you!!

you don't need to make millions to have a jeep that costs 9k in total. that's way better than spending 11k on a stock TJ or 45k on a new JL

@@MountainRoadAdventure yea ig but as a teen my budget is like 4k max

I mean i bought a lifted jeep with bumpers and 40 super swamoers for $600
