We TRANSFORMED our Jeep Wrangler, and BLEW the Budget: Cheap Jeep Challenge Ep.5 

Very good video

Its not hard to install a lift on the TJ.

Should of gotten 31x10.5x15. Would of been better.

Quadratec sells rebranded JW Speakers 8700 j2 evolution heated LED headlights.

needs a turbo kit. good project.

Get 750,000 subscribers on your youtube channel and you probably would...

No doubt lol

Lmao made my day

Pretty sure they said they paid for the tires. I missed the lift info.

Curt Rotondo I love harbor freight

Yeah this was a really good series.

LOL what a bunch of losers.

Come on, gotta include trucks in the conversation too. Bunch of losers!

LOL What else is there. They're JEEP GUYS!

That is pretty epic, tbh. I mean, they obviously talk about other things ... but cars are their passion. Can't fault them for that. :)

Would be great to see andre and Mr. Truck working on the cheap jeep!

@@joeyscleaninglady2877 I don't think Jeep is quite Mr. Truck's flavor, if you know what I mean. Would be fun, though!

I was thinking the same thing! Can't believe no one else (that I've seen so far) caught that. Roman, I think, got lucky doing it with the drill. I would never try that. lol.

Was gonna comment the same. Also to work it back and forth clearing the thread shavings. Keep it lubed.

I broke a tap in the front trunnion of an AK rifle, I shattered the tap with a center punch

We use a tap in a impact, all day every day.

It's called power tapping

Amen brother!!

Preach!

Fan boy! People you call know-it-alls probably don't know much. I couldn't watch this whole video because it looked more like entertainment than actually covering all the important aspects of installing a lift kit like that Teraflex. There are a lot of factors that must be addressed or at least considered when you lift a TJ..........far too many and too technical for the RU-vid comments section. Like I said, I didn't watch the whole video but here are a few key words you should have heard if it was worth a damn. Caster, pinion angle, slip yoke eliminator, brake line length, flex, droop and tuck, sway bar disconnects, rear axle centering.............just to name a few things off the top of my head. Like I said, many things to account for when properly lifting a TJ.

@@motor-head You're criticizing and didn't even watch the video? Smart. Maybe you missed the part where they had a shop install it, but who knows if he mentioned all your key words to himself while installing it so who knows if it's "worth a damn"

​@@19hundoc47 I don't even remember what's in the video and at this point I'm not going back to re-watch all or part of it. If I took the time to comment on it in the first place (and that comment is negative sounding or cautionary) it's probably because they were showing stuff that's wrong or leaving out things that are really important. Think of it as a public service to people who might be looking for info on RU-vid about lifting their own Jeeps. But what do I know. I only earn my living as a mechanic, own a TJ, installed my own lift, have a RU-vid username called "Motor Head" with a picture of my TJ.

Lmao I was thinking the same thing

I think he meant a ratcheting box end wrench. 😂 Or "spanner" if you're from the UK.

I'm not sure he does not know there is no such tool......or .....is there??????LMAO

He has a ratcheting crescent for tight spaces!

Bless his heart! 😂😂😂

I was thinking the same thing since they got lift and tires for free they could have afforded it and made it more durable.

Anybody using the Goodyear Duratracs? I can get a set for about $660 right now due to rebates, vs $848 for KO2s.

@@dchawk81 i don't think you can go wrong with either. My father has an 80s chevy blazer with ko2, and a tundra with duratracs. I have had duratracs on my tacoma for about 1.5 years now. I love them. With that pricing, it's a no brainer.

dchawk81 I like the KO2s better but at that price the GYs would be a good choice. Unless you wheel in sharp rock you will get at least 40k miles out of them.

When I went to replace my old KO2's, each tire had 2 to 4 assortment of nails and screws stuck in them. Didn't even know they were in there, as I never lost tire pressure. If you an splurge for KO2's I would do it.

I prefer falken wildpeak at3's, much better in the rain and grippy on the road.

Derek 04’ Disco 2 over here. It’s a beast

Hahahah daily driving and off-roading a 2010 LR4 with +100K miles, I would like you to define cheap. Some things yes, if you do your own wrenching, but other stuff noooooooo!!! - I could keep the O's going a little while longer there, just like the dollars flowing out of your wallet.

Heyden W I had an 01 Discovery. Great driver but lots of problems. Still love the looks of the vehicle.

fredbrackely I’ve had really good luck with mine. Tires, brakes, alternator, battery and an air compressor. That’s it.

Second this. Any kind of mild offroading and they will get ripped off anyway.

I would get some rocker protection before you crunch the rockers......cheap Jeep or not, armor is your friend offroad

MOAB will remove them, but for now keep it stock

Agreed. That was the first thing gone was the steps when I had my TJ. I got rid of the bumperette pieces too along with the side flares.

we all get a little exited

They have a budget constraint and it's not that bad. From factory it would've been black bumpers/trim with a tan top so I think it's fine.

I’ve seen a two tone Jeep similar to this model running around, the top is aqua blue, looks nice, not typical though.

Broken Fuel Gauge i think they are way past that budget now 😂

Black would be sweet I was thinking the same thing.

Maybe look better but when your in the sun,

6.5 with a hardtop is so cheap

Thats what you get for a "No fault state"

No kidding, i know people that pay that monthly!

I heard there is a bill being proposed for getting rid of No fault. I currently pay $650 for 6 months :(.

I pay 280 for six months of car insurance in Washington State on a 2002 Explorer.

@@Countcho I pay $ 156 for 6 months for my 2016 Wrangler Sahara in Oregon...full coverage..wow, you guys have some HIGH rates! how is that possible??

Dustin Scott exactly. They are ugly, an have no function at all.

Always some crybaby complaining they got free parts. Its not their fualt you suck at life and dont get that most shows have sponsors

I guess I’m a “crybaby loser”, because I get what the OP was saying! Then again, maybe it’s the “losers” that don’t have reading comprehension and get their panties in a wad so much that they have to resort to insults and name calling. Like children.

Dont act like such a bitch trigger happy

They only got the lift for free. Why is that such a bad thing? You'd take a free lift too.

TDGarage and can’t even do their own work lol

hahaha its addictive

Yes, really enjoy this!

They looked really easy to remove so they can probably repaint it over and over if needed

Better to just leave them off

I thought they were just going to do new side steps

100% I probably would of done raptor liner just so it wouldn't wear so fast

It would be better to put on some rock sliders. 👍

JazzedHellcat the tires and only an inch or two taller. Don’t be a dick.

@@manillafresh57 I guess you dont know how under powered the engine is. The only Dick I see here is you!

JazzedHellcat just you

Teo P my xj loves eating my wallet

@@mikefahy482 Hahaha, But to clarify, I didn't mean in terms of reliability, but the constant tinkering, mods, and incremental improvements one does to his beloved Jeep 😉👍

Teo P meant reliability and upgrades was looking online and finding new ways to spend money

@@mikefahy482 Hehe 😁

They were stressed for time because they had other commitments - I wouldn't really count that cost because you can always do it yourself

I think they know that that's why they mentioned it in the video

Yep, a cheap Jeep or any project is only cheap if you do the work yourself. They had a time restraint issue, so we will give them a pass. Love the show tho

not much of a budget build with everything being supplied not hating but some of us like to see what can learn for our own rigs lol

jeffrey Cordle not legal

@@interpol007 Yes it is

Agreed, I’d have ditched those Rubi rims on Craigslist and gotten some factory 15’ 5 stars

The 33X9.50 was the perfect tire for my 4 Banger TJ. Off road, it was unstoppable.

33” tires on a 2” lift with a 2.5L engine and Dana 30s is an awful idea. I guess you don’t wheel your Jeep huh? These tires are perfect for what they installed...

You can always regear , plus Dana 30+35 will do pizza cutters all day long.

@@CaptainCooter I had no issues with BFG AT/KO 33X9.50 on my 1998 Jeep TJ with a 4 Cylinder and 4.10 gears. But I also had a catback, bored out 4.0L throttle body with a smoothed intake manifold, and a cold air intake. Plus, to get better burn in the cylinders, I swapped out the stock plugs for a fresh set of Champion Copper Plus as these work the best in this style of motor. Perhaps my Jeep would have been "rocket fast" if I had not added the bigger tires, but I had a C4 Vette if I wanted speed and this TJ for my off road adventures and this combination worked very well.

@@thrrpt5955 good to know...my son's TJ needs a little sprucing up and he wants to paint them with a flat black, Krylon

Remember to sand between coats

@@m1cajah Plasti-dip is matte too and it's easier to redo in the future. The key is to do at least 8 coats. Mine are still nice after a year and others have said it lasted them 5 years.

Did you not hear them say that they were going to be gone for the next 5 days? They’re inexperienced doing work like that and didn’t want to run into any issues before they had to be at Moab.

How disappointing...your comment, that is...

Do whatever makes sense at the time

Conspirazy exactly
