I watch these videos the day before a yard trip to help set the mood. These are probably my favorite videos on youtube
Thanks bud! Glad we are helping the motivation levels of fellow yard rats
Congratulations on the new upcoming executive producer! Great Sunday content. Keep them coming. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
“Between you, me and the tree, we’ve got another executive producer on the way. So next could of years I’ll be doing the newborn things…”
As I sit here at 1am watching your videos with my second newborn sleeping on me. It’s hard, but the greatest thing ever, isn’t it dude? Congrats!
Perfect Sunday evening viewing. Thanks for making the evening better.
Absolutely loved our Patriot, other than the 2.0 powerless motor, and agreed....its a Cherokee with round headlights
I'm a Postal Worker, and a Co-Worker just retired, I was going to purchase both of his RHD XJs ('96 and a '99), and he ended up giving them both to me. Super stoked to have a work spare, and a project to play with. Also that's a Audi/VW coil.
Super cool! Two of them even! Have fun bud!
I’ve almost seen all the WJ videos and wanna say thanks for posting you have an amazing channel
Thanks for watching! We will try to keep the good content flowing
That Burban made me think of my dad's old 94, white 2500 with the 454 many great road trips in that third seat
Nice call on that '03 guess! I'm down for that game brother! Man I wish I could have the door cards of the RHD XJ!
Those 1st gen Explorers were actually really well built; it's almost like Toyota built them. My grandfather had a 92 Eddie Bauer that was super reliable and looked better than just about anything on the road. For US automakers the early 90's seems to be last of the era of "Lets try and build the best car/truck we can" and started going to "Lets try and make as much money as possilble with this car/truck".
I think the "exploder" reputation came later when they switched from pushrod engine to the SOHC hatchet-job engine. at the same time they went to a 5 speed automatic. So they basically downgraded the engine and transmission at the same time to get a little more respect from the automotive press, and a few more HP at the top end of the rev range where you can't really drive it anyway. It's better to have SOHC and be unreliable than have a bulletproof pushrod engine apparently. That SOHC cam engine chewed up timing chains and had one on the back of the engine: engine had to be pulled to repair. Whoever designed, or Okayed that design deserves time in hell.
The guy bought my ZJ from told me that when they did the trailer hitch recall the dealer put an aftermarket 4 wire flat connector on it. When they did that, they ran a ground from the battery, or fuse box I forget which, all the way to the back for it. At least that's the story I was told. Congrats on the upcoming executive producer, good seeing you again.
Thanks bud! Also.. please tell me the “dealer fix” wasn’t running 12 awg wire on the OUTSIDE of the unibody under the Jeep!!! Leave it to the stealership…..
@@DEInTheGarage They ran it from the battery/fuse box, to the firewall, then along the firewall to somewhere near the master cylinder, and down to the back of the Jeep. I honestly try not to look at it, but I have used it on occasion. Honestly, I think it was done before he got it. And, I think that's how the aftermarket 4 wire harness works, running the ground back up to the front. I've seen the universal kits run that way a lot in the u pull yards.
Yes I'll ZJ's as far as I know have those seats extremely comfortable I know both of mine do
Love these U-pull videos; inspires me to get out to my local yard. Thanks for everything you put into em.
Hey what's up? It's Greg and I had a comment about your mom's WK, I worked a long long time in a salvage yard and we used to sell alot of those tipms for wks the fuse box/module, could be the intermittent no start.
Good to see you in the yard. Hope to see you work on stuff soon.
Congrats on the new bun in the oven!
Patriot should have been the new XJ for sure.
Thanks bud.. and agree :-)
The RHD, Steering box and drag link are unique. Wish it was not so far away, needing that steering gear.
Hi from Melbourne Australia, home of the RHD WJs, known here as WG and built in Austria. Have been loving your videos for a couple of years and am jealous of the parts available in the US, feel it could be time for a pick a part holiday.
Greetings bud! I have heard that the Jeepers Down Under have proper grit and know what’s up! If you ever make it to the states for a pick-a-part holiday look me up. We’ll hit all the secret Jeep yards.
P.s. I am a BIG fan of the WG. Wish I could get on on the states. I want that Diesel option!
Congratulations on the new addition to the family!
Thanks bud!
Love the shirt! Where'd you get it? The fam's looking for Christmas ideas haha.
Mazel Tov on the new bambino(a) !! As for the world… control the controllables, you can’t fix what’s going on, best you can do is what’s best for you and your fam. Live your life, and make your own best life… remember the world has been “ending” for centuries, and we are still here. I had a boss a while back would always say “water off a ducks back”, I try to live by that.
Congratulations on the new baby coming, I would love to join you and Eric, and Dan on a blind car trivia
Congratulations on the new executive producer on the way
Thanks bud!
The right hand drive XJ you want the left front seat to replace your well worn left side driver's seat. I managed to pull one and it was like finding gold.
I'm still loving my RHD XJ - with OME lift :)
Congratulations on the new little!
That thing you pointed at with the spike on it that you thought was something for a bumper…that’s actually a dash inner structure and the spike is a locator pin
Happy holidays y'all 😀
Happy holidays bud! From one Dub Jayer to another!
My job used to have 4-5 of these. We read water meters in them. We have sold them all now. We also had 4 RHD TJs. We just sold the last one of those as well. We have transmitters on the meters that send the readings in monthly now. so we only have to manually read the ones that get damaged. Mail ladies buy them up rom auction when we sell them. They run the prices up or I would have bought one. Like I need another Jeep in the driveway! LOL
16:30 Those 3.7's were notorious for immobilizers and ignition switches being bad. You'll get power going in the switch but none coming out. It happens intermittently so you end up chasing everything else like with the NSS or a failing starter relay. Immobilizer switch detects a key and lets power into the ignition switch itself. So when the immobilizer fails intermittently It would seem like it has to cool down, but its just the switch working sometimes.
The immobilizer failing wouldn't kill the car while driving, just prevents it from being started again. What you're calling the ignition circuit is the starter circuit. Two separate things. For safety reasons you can't have the car hit a pot hole, the ignition switch lose contact and the car stall lol. It's the ignition switch on the starter circuit, confusing I know. The ignition circuit is on the ECM harness.
Doug! Congratulations on the new executive producer on the way!! Concerning Mom's Jeep... could it be a Crank position sensor? Sounds like a similar issue I sometimes have with my 08 Jeep Liberty. I've never been able to confirm or debunk anything because it's so intermittent, but it's the only thing I can think of. I guess I could try replacing it and seeing if that does it, but it doesn't happen enough. That Chevy dually didn't look too bad. I remember the video you're talking about, but I thought you said the commander should have taken on the cherokee name and the new wagoneer could have been the grand cherokee. Great video by the way as always. Take care till next time, and eventhough Bears suck this year, BEAR DOWN!
Man I'll tell you what I hate to see those OBS trucks just sitting in a yard like that rotting away. Funny that you found that Saturn Vue in the yard those things were great vehicles I had a 2007 we drove it all the way up till about 2018 it had a few issues but nothing that was hard to repair I think the only thing my wife had against it was it used to belong to my mom I took it over after she couldn't drive anymore in 2009. Those old 90s forerunners are great I had a 95 but that 3.0 motor is garbage they don't call it the three-point slow for nothing. That old obs Dooley you were looking at didn't look to be in too bad a shape that truck in fact quite possibly had a 454 in it and if it was a 454 produced at Tonawanda engine in Canada
Damn bud.. thanks for the knowledge drop! Would love to wander around the GM aisles with you sometime. I had an uncle who had a 5-speed Saturn Vue! Super cool little suv.
Okay so about that 07 WK they had a recall on the ignition switch. They sell a replacement for like $30 on Amazon. 10 minute job. I have and 05 4.7 that did that too before replacing the switch. It used to honk and randomly make the wipers move on their own. Hope that helps
It sure does! Thank you!
Another epic yard crawl! I'd have to watch the video again but that Chevy looked like a big block. Congrats on the upcoming executive assistant! The hoodie is BA. Where did you get it?
I could actually use some of those spring isolators for front and rear both sides
Lmao funny seeing you in a area I live 15 minutes away from
As for the Tacoma, they had a factory recall for frames due to rust. My son has a 2007 we bought with 261K miles needing a head (previous owner drove it too much with a blown head gasket and cooked the head). Toyota replaced the frame and pretty much everything underneath the truck and I dropped in a salvage yard engine with 25K on it. That was 4 1/2 years and 70K miles ago and the only repair it’s needed since was an a/c compressor clutch. How dare they make an a/c clutch that only lasts 340K miles!
Regarding the springs on the stock jeep, maybe they kept them and put the stockers back on. Also, love the junkyard videos!
I bought a replacement gas tank skid for my WJ that was a ton thicker than the factory one. The factory one they called a "brush guard" or something. I upgraded to the skid plate which could hold the weight of the vehicle.
Same. Random dude off Craigslist had one and I was shocked how heavy it was… it outlasted the vehicle!!
That's why you have been slacking on videos,you have been busy working on producing another Executive Producer..😁😁👍👍 Congratulations Douglas..
Yea buddy. Lots going on behind the scenes at D&E, but when the dust eventually settles I hope to get back to the channel with the same vigor as a few years ago. Thanks for watching and commenting though bud. Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving
You’re spot on about Saturn. I worked in future product development for the General and while there were some genuinely great ideas in their design (space frame, mill and drill panel fixture, “lost styrofoam” engine casting process), the overweight management structure dominated by accountants rather than engineers, assured that the product would fail in the marketplace.
You should do a video on pulling salvaged WJ parts that you dip in Vinegar or Evapo-Rust(which can be reused) to remove the rust in 48 hours.
Could probably sell them or sand them up and paint them for your vehicles.
That black ZJ looked pretty clean. If I hadn't already gotten the drivers door and fender, I'd come get them. Yes the Liberty should have been the 3r gen Cherokee.
The Liberty is called the Cherokee outside of the US
Love the videos.
Sounds like that electrical issue is an ignition switch. Classic mid 2000s chrysler problem
Had that issue on my moms 08 chrysler
Oh and that coil is a volkswagon/audi high energy ignition, commonly found on R8,vr6,all turbocharged engines, except diesal lol
Congratulations on the new executive producer aka baby 👍 also that Chevy dually was a 454 .
Thanks bud!
@@DEInTheGarage you're welcome
Try replacing the ignition the modular in the column on mom's jeep they get hot and have connections on circuit board in it
Ignition barrel recall I had same problem and I am in Scotland worth a look dougie👍💔
You serious bud?? I need to look in to that. Thanks and GREETINGS!
Greetings from PA. you were not too far from me. lol
In regards to our Mums Jeep .As they say every Jeep has is own personality . It might be Bipolar but still its own personality hahahaha
I have a ‘97 suburban K2500 and that dually’s engine looks like my 454
I can tell where you lived there are lot of Puerto Rican I recognize that music at 24:00 LOL
LOL.. thankfully this yes is in the city about 1:15 from my house… but yes. It is in a diverse neighborhood
That taco is probably in there for the frame and i would have totally been fixed under warranty lol.
I always thought the liberty looked liked a new xj 🤣
If you lived outside North America it was the 3rd gen Cherokee. Haha
@@DEInTheGarage that's crazy I would make fun of my brother because he had and xj I would be like look the new xj🤣I ended up getting and 88 myself
I bought a ZJ once and the loan officer inspected it and he said "these seats are baby making seats".
I need the cup holder from that explorer
Sons don't let Mothers drive WKs. Get her an XJ pronto!
I could sure use parts off that rhd.
I’m sure you have tried already, but could your mothers Jeep be a bad start circuit relay ?? If you manually crank the Jeep, with key on does she fire ?
Brothers don't let Sisters drive Jeep Patriots. Get her into a WJ stat!
I'd be willing to wager that 2000 cherokee is a High Output 6. And it has the better designed air intake. Might want to consider scooping it up?
I will have to revisit it when I am there next. Thanks!
19:31 Yep. Make it so viewers can bet, be on a team or participate some way.
i miss my 95 5.2 zj i now have 95 xj an my DD is 08 p71
Your intermittent problem may be in the ignition switch
I have a 2001 suburban with the barn doors
Such a good looking truck!
Hazeleton, Allentown is closer for me too but Hazleton is bigger better organized and neater.
I love hazleton! Probably my favorite yard ever, but at 2 hours door to do for me it is a bit more of a commitment than I can make most days. Pens burg is a decent middle ground for me, but I hadn’t been to Allentown all year and watched to give it a shot…. Very poor choice. Haha
454. Valve cover is a dead give away.
If the patriot was beefier maybe, they are just really tiny imo, but I think it would have been, pointac/saturn as the cheap car then chevy, gmc Buick then Cadillac
Also not RWD and while AWD they never had true 4WD..
True, that's kinda the down fall of all newer jeeps front wheel drive and a pto
Yeah that's a L29 7.4 vortec. Gen 5 big block.
Hot dang. They any good?
I have a 1995 4.0 zj need to find a trans for it mine is rust free with 195k on her
actually live not to far from there im in the market for a xj or zj soon when i get one i can send pictures of it
When I did my bigger lift I literally threw my oldmanemu springs in the trash.
The Surburban is a big block
2:18 should have pulled the passenger side window switch and panel.
Curious where you got your sweatshirt - as the firing order on it is wrong.
I sell those. That was a misprint. Not going to let it go to waste 🤷🏼♂️ so I ware it to work in
@@DEInTheGarage Is the sweatshirt available yet ? ( Correct Order) If so, where, I would like one for Christmas.
You look good in a Explorer LOL
Agreed! I miss my 2-door
I want it.....for parts lol
By seeing just 1 astro I think I stop looking for one as a Service van . Not much outthere In awd van market. The cevy 1/2 ton but any that has one of them is a i now what got
I thought that ugly WJ was an Aspen or Durango from the clip.
Its the neutral safety switch in the transmission. You have to pull the pan. You can bypass the nss if you pull the relay (starter relay) in the engine bay and jump it there. It might even be the relay itself.

97 5.2 zj with a select a trac are not common
Go get a harness at the yard
Vgg formula much?
He is certainly an influence. Love Derek. These U-Pull vids are all mine though bud. Been at it for yours, but some aVe and VGG vernaculars and themes have certainly permitted my style. Who better to emulate?!?
I hate the look of Jeep Patriot and Fiat destroyed them. I'm sure you can get a good running one that serves you well, but it is driven by your sister, that should say something about its look. I'm saying prius drivers like the Patriot front hood.
It's like a H1C Sport/PT Cruiser had a Frankenstein child with a Grand Cherokee.
I also don't like the GC Sports.
I love my 02 Laredo WJ 4.7L-V8 SOHC (VIN-N)
18:28 Toyota fanboy here... Its the 4.0 liter of toyota motors. Not powerful or anything. But durable as snot.
Dude the Patriot has the motor turned around the wrong way it’ll never have a following or be loved by anyone on a large scale
I always like your videos, but sometimes I miss the give & take between you and Doug.
Eric would be happy to hear that. He and I am on different schedules right now (and he just bought a house) but as we are family and best friends I imagine he will be back on the vids soon enough
@@DEInTheGarage Yay! Look forward to seeing the two of you in the New Year!
Patriot is not it for me😅 only way it would’ve been a Cherokee is if it had a i6 of some sort and rwd. I feel like the patriot would’ve disrespected Cherokee name😅😂
I get it bud. All I am saying is.. having worked on both the Patriots and 4th gen “Cherokee”.. the Patriot is closer to the heart and soul of the XJ. I am with you though. I wish they did more to preserve the legacy of the SJ and XJ when creating the more modern “Cherokees”
Must be a man think to enjoy a good parts yard video
That 3.0 V6 (3VZE) in that 4runner is dog shit. Head gasket problems for days. People swap the 3.4 L V6 into them
Keep doing a great job!!! You desperately need "Promosm"!!!
A toyota with a Blown motor come on let's be real . I know ur not on there team for some reason. Honda and Toyota very dependable regshows
Had to be motor or trans as nothing else was wrong. I am a fan of Honda up until about 2003. Toyotas aren’t worth their weight in scrap metal to me
