Busted knuckle already lost in my book. They lack imagination and ingenuity and skill. Anyone can slap on bolt on parts. Anyone can stay within budget when you raid a friend's "scratch and dent" pile. They are the perfect example of what is wrong with youtube "budget builds". Your build is what the average joe on a real budget would do. I applaud you sir for doing what most of us in the real world would have to do.
Haha I tried to watch their bronco build to get a rough price estimate on my build....didn’t work too well since their parts were EXTREMELY cheaper than what I could get even with tax n discounts from paying cash.
Yeah. Agree, heard him say a lot of “I got a deal from”.... “so and so gave me...” whereas bleeping was basically custom fab’ stuff out of basically trash.

Great series! I’m glad you are proving that a Jeep can be built affordable and capable and it doesn’t have to be a Wrangler. Keeping interest in off roading is necessary to keep the hobby alive. I love going wheeling with my daughters. Thanks again.
How did we cheat him? They were tied up until the last hill....they both agreed that if Matt made it up the hill....then Matt would get a chance to hit it....if Matt made it, he would win.....if they both made it....tie
Great video just bought a 96 zj to build. always liked the xjs better but I got a great deal on the ZJ. Love that bleepinjeep actually built his jeep 🤟
Eee-an is obviously intimidated or jealous of bleepin. These kinds of things are not what make Jeepin' fun, or fun to watch. Jeeping is for the lol's , the fails, and being with your friends or family outdoors having a good time. I've been watchin bleepin for years and love the content. We don't need no hairspray movie star dropout to judge for us. Great Build man, I approve!
Wow. This is actually kinda pissin me off a bit. He gets an entire shop to build him a jeep with “discounted” new parts then breaks and the judges are this biased? Spiky hair is a lame judge.
i for one absolutely love the no sway bar ride of a zj. i added 16 in to width of my wheel base and it feels like a trophy truck going to get groceries
🤔why at 13:00 The sticker price is green but at 22:47 it’s black and white something fishy going on here🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🥳Then if you watch the rest of the video it’s Green again
“Did you hit that button that asks if this is still available? No? Then you don’t get any points for that! 😂 don’t forget that for bonus points you have to inquire and haggle then completely fall off the face of the earth, the true Facebook marketplace way
Got a free zj and put a $300 motor in it, didn't lift it and just threw it on 31/10.50 milestar patagonias and honestly for $700 about the best deal I've ever made. Thanks for the vid! They don't get near enough coverage and everyone hates them cause they aren't shaped like a box. Super capable cars.
Awesome build! My girlfriend loves the way yours is set up. She is wanting her 95 ZJ done the same. First step is to get rid of the 249. Luckily hers has the 5.2 V8. More power!!!
oh thats easy to do. rustys 4link is 600$ new, he got the imperfect ones which are cheaper, those wheels cost 120$ each, tires 150$ each, wj parts are stupid cheap new, front locker was 200ish new its only a spartan. welded rear end, etc. XJs are very very cheap to build.
I've loved every second of this challenge and I yhink it's soooooooooooooooo cool that you're giving your jeep to a subscriber. I'm new to jeeps and crawlers, but I would absolutely LOVE to own your jeep. Your fab skills are amazing!
I watched both builds on both channels and I think yours is more realistic. Also love the creativity with the fab work and your attention to detail! Awesome build.
The ZJ definitely won. They dinged you first for not running it as clean on the first run. They didn't ding him for all the retries on the last hill. No doubt the ZJ won. It's about time the ZJ is given the credit it has long deserved. All around coil springs have been making the difference since 1993. The XJ has never been the better offroader because of the leaf springs in the back PLUS the lack of available V8's.
You don't think that Matt may have edited out a "few" of his tries? The last hill was an all or nothing hill....had nothing to do with what happened before that. When Matt ran a trail cleaner we gave Matt a letter just like we did with Matt
Got a YURT booked for Monday......no bias but you win! My brother in law was in the shop making these rock sliders the other day, now I know, now I know!!!
Just bought my 5000 dollar Cherokee yesterday with rcvs arb lockers front and back with the 8.8 out back cryogenic treated gears and Yukon inners she is a bit beat but I am definitely going to be having fun with her....thanks for the inspiration to get out and dirty
I bought a jeep xj and then a tj all with in the span of 5 months. I have enjoyed your content now more then ever. before my RUclips was just filled with a bunch of channels with extremely expensive jk, jl, and jts. Now that I finally own a set of more affordable wheeling Jeep’s I enjoy your content way more. Just lifted my tj and the xj is bone stock just waiting for my title because It was salvaged. One for your wheeling buddy man yota stopped by last week to buy some parts off of me and it was great talking to him
@@bleepinjeep hey it’s not always cheap but it about knowing where to spend money. everything else can be done cheap though. Yeah Ben was great we talk for ever about everything. I have a 99 Jeep Tj and a 99 XJ so far I raptor lined the whole tj in blue and black. New top, lift kit wheels and tires Bumpers and winch. Got a 4:1 transfer case and Dana 44 ready to go in next. Xj Is clean and stock sitting on 31s that came with the tj. It is clean. Rides so smooth and starts up great. No rust. Cost me $700 just waiting on the rebuild title. I’m in atlanta
This was rad to see. We have some money into our rigs but not a huge amount. We’re always trying to get friends involved but they think it’s super pricy. Glad to see these built all in under 10k and doing everything 80 k jks are doing!!!
Blerpinjeep is definitely my choice. I feel their was much more blood sweat and rust stains put into the making of that jeep. Definitely more durable. That Jeep would be an Honor to own! Good job Bleepin! Definitely rough tough and kick ass!
Awesome job by both teams! I had to sell my ZJ due to financial issues, but after these videos I am searching for my next project. Must hit trails soon !!
Im planing on buying first jeep got few options, XJ with 2.5TD and 4.0i or ZJ with 5.2 v8, wich one do u suggest i should get, im just planing on doing some trail riding, bit mudding, towing with friends. And really want to beat friends Terrano II 2.7TD and Pajero 3.5 v6. I heard that ZJ has some transmision problems. Wich one do u suggest i get.
Matt thanks for always staying motivated... Gonnna take my boys up here in Alaska and attempt the the same shenanigans bout on glaciers.. before and PCS to Fort Campbell.. Don’t have a pull apart up here but we will make it work... Thanks for all the videos..... Keep it up
XJ beats ZJ on looks every time. It has the iconic square "Jeep look". Of course a few slides or rolls down the hill, and they both look pretty rounded.
Love both of these rigs! How does the cherokee crawl up the rocks so easy? I've got a xj with a sa 4.5 in and 33s, welded rear and its hard to go up rocks half that size
Really......they both had "creative" budgets......I mean come on....tires not included.....the list of parts from one FB seller just kept getting longer and longer...and then selling the stock tires for 500 bucks? All the judges agreed that they both cheated equally on budget
True, but what you didn't see was when we got to that hill neither of them wanted to hit the hill. Bleepin Jeremy told them both they could do it.......but neither wanted to even try it. He talked talked Matt into trying it.....and he made it.....the decision was that if he made it and Matt didn't he would win....but they tied. (You realize if they tied they get to go to Moab for a final right?)
I am more of a ZJ guy than a XJ guy, but they are both great jeeps in my opinion. I do give credit to Busted knuckle for his choice of parts from Rusty's off road, he did a great job. But you are definitely the point winner there, you built that ZJ in a small back yard shop, on jack stands, with the more basic tools. And by yourself. Just like a most of the rest of us would have to do to accomplish a project like that. :
Man... that was absolutely frustrating... and I'm not even biased! I am a WJ guy through and through! and that being said I'm always on "D&E in the garage" but at least you handled their bias well (probably because you are secretly rooting for that XJ 😂
I am just a year behind, but you won with that last hill climb. He said you would win, and he didn't want to try it. You made it look easy. Really enjoy your videos, and I hope to get back into doing this in the future. My Samurai has not been on a trail in 9 years 😥
Hey I've got a 2004 freedom edition. How do you like that lift? How does it do on the road? I've been considering a 3"-4" lift on short arms. It's got fully adjustables up front but on stock springs atm.
@@xmo552 I like it but I’m going to 6.5 inch iro in the next week or so .... it rides decent on road and off-road I have no complaints my springs are 4 inch roughy country ., my control arms are fully adjustable tier 2 core 4x4 , and jks adjustable trac bar, 3 inch rough country drop pitman arm ,with no sway bar in the rear
@@team_suv7778 Thanks for the reply. I have the WJ to mom. She's short so I might keep it at 2"-3". Up around 4" I imagine the control arms are too steep. Idk.
Wait a minute.....on your video when you picked up the parts you said...2g for the axle 400 for the case....and then left out what you paid for "All" the other stuff......and on the hood you have it listed as 2200? Did you "round down?
I said he was ASKING that... I did talk him down for a package deal. But all the axle parts I had listed came with the axles, and the sye and driveshaft came with the t case... so there wasn't that much other stuff. I just listed out all the axle "internals" on the hood. I also sent you a text of the original fb listing a while back. 👍
Your ZJ has far better articulation than the XJ, and you have more rocker panel clearance. Especially with those nice custom steel sliders that you made. Don't feel bad buddy, you did a awesome job as usual. 👍
Busted knuckle already lost in my book. They lack imagination and ingenuity and skill. Anyone can slap on bolt on parts.

Well said.
I have to say, someone gave BK a lot of parts and the"trade in" RCV'S? I call BS!
Truth!

You killed it Matt!
"scratch and dent" 🤐

Is the ZJ basically a short arm kit and I know it’s custom but how much lift is it probably?

hay, Mat from busted knuckle, If Mat from Bleepin Jeep had'nt shown you how to do that last hill ,you would"ent have made it. in your last challange .
True, but what you didn't see was when we got to that hill neither of them wanted to hit the hill. Bleepin Jeremy told them both they could do it.......but neither wanted to even try it. He talked talked Matt into trying it.....and he made it.....the decision was that if he made it and Matt didn't he would win....but they tied. (You realize if they tied they get to go to Moab for a final right?)
@@BigTireGarage Sorry Ian, my bad.
sweet. been waiting for this. no dissapointment, good gob bj
More to come!
I am more of a ZJ guy than a XJ guy, but they are both great jeeps in my opinion. I do give credit to Busted knuckle for his choice of parts from Rusty's off road, he did a great job. But you are definitely the point winner there, you built that ZJ in a small back yard shop, on jack stands, with the more basic tools. And by yourself. Just like a most of the rest of us would have to do to accomplish a project like that. :
Looks like y'all had a lot of fun. It made for a great video and was very entertaining. Keep enjoying life guys.
thanks! did you see part 2? its up!
Nice video, good job with this rigs.
Great Video guys
What is the name of that place you’re staying at the first of the video
Windrock Campground
What happened to fc build?
its still there, just gotta win this and stop getting cheated😆
Great contest. I absolutely love the whole production!
Thanks a bunch!
Man... that was absolutely frustrating... and I'm not even biased! I am a WJ guy through and through! and that being said I'm always on "D&E in the garage" but at least you handled their bias well (probably because you are secretly rooting for that XJ 😂
I'm sure you've said it but does the Zj have a 4.0 ?
yes, even steven on motor, tires, and wheels.
I am just a year behind, but you won with that last hill climb. He said you would win, and he didn't want to try it. You made it look easy. Really enjoy your videos, and I hope to get back into doing this in the future. My Samurai has not been on a trail in 9 years 😥
Awesome XJ vs ZJ 🤙
Heck I did that second trail y'all hit in my WJ 4 inch short arm lift 3 weeks ago
Hey I've got a 2004 freedom edition. How do you like that lift? How does it do on the road? I've been considering a 3"-4" lift on short arms. It's got fully adjustables up front but on stock springs atm.
@@xmo552 I like it but I’m going to 6.5 inch iro in the next week or so .... it rides decent on road and off-road I have no complaints my springs are 4 inch roughy country ., my control arms are fully adjustable tier 2 core 4x4 , and jks adjustable trac bar, 3 inch rough country drop pitman arm ,with no sway bar in the rear
@@team_suv7778
Thanks for the reply. I have the WJ to mom. She's short so I might keep it at 2"-3". Up around 4" I imagine the control arms are too steep. Idk.
Wait a minute.....on your video when you picked up the parts you said...2g for the axle 400 for the case....and then left out what you paid for "All" the other stuff......and on the hood you have it listed as 2200? Did you "round down?
I said he was ASKING that... I did talk him down for a package deal. But all the axle parts I had listed came with the axles, and the sye and driveshaft came with the t case... so there wasn't that much other stuff. I just listed out all the axle "internals" on the hood. I also sent you a text of the original fb listing a while back. 👍
This is awesome stuff lol. Cant wait to see Moab.
I can't understand why the guy known for building XJs didn't build an XJ... It breaks my heart
I was going to but I let him choose as I had the builder advantage.
@@bleepinjeep I can also understand you can get tired of building the same thing and want something different.
I'm glad Bleepin built the ZJ because he was so creative with it!
I dig how you wrote your build on the hood tho 🤔 that's gonna be a thing! Definitely doing that to mine lol
Song at 27:00?
Such an awesome challenge and it is indeed pretty damn impressive what a moderately built rig will do.
So wish my ZJ looked like yours😭😭 one day piece by piece ill get there
That ZJ is impressive!
this is a cool challenge. I think having the xj is a huge advantage to having a lifted mini van
What motors are in them?
Your ZJ has far better articulation than the XJ, and you have more rocker panel clearance. Especially with those nice custom steel sliders that you made. Don't feel bad buddy, you did a awesome job as usual. 👍
