I just picked up a lifted 91 Cherokee 4.0 4x4.... My first off-road vehicle and it's been a blast on the trail. Best $500 I've ever spent
500? Lol the sellers a dumass lol
The tires alone are more then 500
How many miles does it have
yeah, many junk yards or places that buy scrap metal will sell them for low prices.
I saw one labeled "bad transmission $200."
a friend picked it up and it ran for years but it never left those woods.
I had some spare honda parts lying around for sale and this guy didnt have money so he gave me his 6.5 inch lifted 89 cherokee nothing wrong except desth wobble it had 33 mickeys and some baller tires on it so basically 200$ for a cherokee in good condition (the rear brake line was cut so i swaooed the drums for disc and fixed up the brake lines but removed the e brake because those are over rated)
Who ever designed the 4.0 inline 6 must have sold their soul to the devil, because those things are a tank of an engine.
They are an old AMC engine
My 1999 Jeep Cherokee xj has almost 400,000 miles and is just like new.....One of the best vehicle's period..
Bob Quattrini that’s how my 99 grand Cherokee is
I have 1994 jeep Cherokee sport with straight 6 they are amazing 216,000 miles and still runs like it just came off the lot
4.0 straight six is simply amazing and POWERFUL AF. 505Performance in Arizona is getting 600+ HP. Check them out: They offer a 4.9 STROKER KIT at their store. Almost a 5 liter DAMNNN
ruclips.net/video/8PiDtrxblyg/видео.html
Their store:
www.shop.505performance.com/
Here is why i am an xj fan:
-Exact same drivetrain as the tj but for about half the cost.
- extra doors for more passengers and more cargo space.
-numerous were sold, parts be mad cheap.
-loads of aftermarket offroad parts/kits are availible too, so you can build a crazy crawler, or mud monster, or just a simple overlanding build. Literally whatever you want.
-hella reliable
Exactly why it’s my dream car
XJ drivetrains are not the same. They're better.
29 spline 8.25>D35
HP D30> LP D30
AW4> 32Re
This is a true story.
And they look neat
XJ has more space regardless of 2 or 4 door.
woah woah woah you totally missed the 97+ refresh of the XJ... Kind of a huge deal for the XJ line as there were a lot of advancements that happened during its last 4 years of production....
Dakota Zimmerman what kind of advancements? In the market now and certainly curious lol
@@headlesnorseman701 too many to list everything here but highlights would be dual airbags, sleeker design, improvements to certain drivetrain components, OBD2, ECT. Find the wiki on Jeep XJ and it will run through most of the info from beginning to end of the XJ run. I'd recommend finding an internet forum for XJs to learn more details. Certainly one of the best vehicle platforms ever.
yeah this video was the BIGGEST disappointment.. coming from a 97 XJ owner. Like wtf, 97-01 are the best XJ's.
@@Michael-fi5rd I thought that with my 98 2dr but after doing a 97+ swap on a 90 MJ, own a 95XJ and a 92MJ, I actually prefer the HO Jeeps more. They just seem to work better and are a little more rugged feeling. 97+ is still great though.
Those heads love to crack tho!!
These Pepboys brand integrations are a freaking work of advertising art.
Right! I was like this should be a commercial, a super bowl commercial
@@yarimapovedaalvarado it essentially is a low budget superbowl ad with lore. Tbh this shits gone too far every single time it's the same thing RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE
Edit: It was a good idea the first time, but it really feels like you guys are milking it and it literally hasn't changed so idk more inginuity?
Well, I guess Pep Boys keeps paying so Pumphrey has to keep pumping them out.
Agree. I think they should do (Up to Speed) on the Ford Focus, Chevrolet Silverado, Hyundai Genesis, Lexus IS200, Infiniti G35, RAM 1500, RWB and MAZDASPEED.
They executed it well the first time because it was so smooth it barely felt like an advert. But now it feels forced as fuck and as soon as he starts mentioning his training I can't help but go "oh here we fucking go again.."
I have a 1989 Comanche and it's incredible. The 4 liter straight six is the most reliable engine ever built! Three generations of my family and almost 300,000 miles later and it's still kicking.
Sean David Van de Riet my friend had one that was beat to hell, leaking everything, we kept taking it off-road, topping up the fluids all the time and it didn’t give a shit - donuts in the sand all day! 😃
Those inline sixes are pretty awesome. I've seen CR-V's with over 500,000kms on the original Honda B20z though.
W124 Mercedes with the 200/250/300D are also pretty much indestructible
My 87 comanche had the 4 banger and wouldnt die still arround i blew the 4 liter up in my 86 cherokee
Comanche s are the best vehicles ever made
first two vehicles i ever owned were Cherokees, loved them! Still haven't forgiven Jeep for ditching the classic square headlights and grill, though.
I got a 98 and it’s one of the last years I would consider to be in the “real Jeep” category, it’s got that the IL6 4.0 and the damn thing just won’t die
@@mikeirl3565 why would you want it to die? 🤔
@@officialWWMWell of course I don't want it to die, but even if I did it wouldn't matter, not to be poetic, but the thing is built like a rock and runs like a river
@@mikeirl3565 why would 98 be the last year of a real jeep ? the XJ continued for a few more years. 2001 being the last. Then the 4.0 IL V6 continued for a few more years in the TJ. I could see saying 2006 would be one of the last years but dont know why 98... and thats if you dont consider the JK which is still just as capable with some modding.
1985-2000 Cherokee XJ best Jeep ever made. Change my mind
1986- 2000 jeep xj best jeep ever made
YeehawTV you’re right. Fixed it

Wanna talk about no love? My 83 J10 gets no love. People don’t even think it’s a Jeep..
Proud owner of a '97 Cherokee XJ, right here!
The way you give us a crash course on the history of vehicles, makes me want to buy every vehicle you do a video on! You're awesome!
I don't recognize the liberty as a Cherokee in the same way my dad doesn't recognize me as his kid
the liberty is ifs lol its not even a jeep
I have a KJ, it's not bad. Alot of fun on the road cause of the IFS, but can easily be broken on hard trails.. damn control arma hang lower than me Balls. lol.
Not only the Liberty crossover (XJ was the last regular Cherokee SUV, after that they're crossovers to this day) was part of the Cherokee lineage, but it was called Cherokee overseas (let some of our overseas audience confirm you that). The 3.7L V6 that those Liberty had was not as good (but less fuel thirsty) as the I6's, but the (VM Motori 2.8L I4) CRD TD was even worse (that TD was put into overseas JK Wranglers).
The Liberty is the Cherokee in Europe i believe. I owned a 2012 Liberty KK and learned that they had em there marketed as a Cherokee KK
The Liberty did have a factory diesel option though, so that's always cool
YES! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS! School can wait, it's time for UPTOSPEED
School can wait for me to!
The amount of times I’ve thought to myself “I’m done with fixing this truck, I really just wanna Jump it off a hill” is represented by that first clip 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love the shout out to the Comanche “it was pretty Sick”
lol at 1:35 "10 gallons per mile"
Sarah Thomasson so it’s a hummer?
Old Cherokees>new cherokees
Bro you're EVERYWHERE
Sergio González Torres Oh easily. New cherokees are soccer mom-mobiles.
Rio Grande lol
How dare you even call those ugly new things a cherokee. A coworker has one those and I always feel the need to park my lifted 93 xj next to it. It just looks like a retooled grand cherokee. Just another cookie cutter crossover, and cherokee in name only.
@Cooper Pason psh ... at last years jeep invasion the only thing to get stuck on the beach track was new Cherokees
Owned a 1991 jeep Cherokee limited that thing started right up and ran after sitting for 5 years those old 4.0 I6's were beasts
The got a 98 that did the exact same thing, 400000+ miles and the damn thing just won’t die Lol
Matt's off-road towing and recovery uses a modified Jeep Cherokee for his job, and it's boss!
Years later, they did the collab just a few months ago.
This is what I look forward to every Thursday. I love these. Still surprised I haven't seen a Caddy on here tho 🤔
Great video but.... I feel you could have discussed the XJ CHEROKEE alot more. The grand cherokees are another group of a Cherokee
I was never around many Jeeps, but after I bought my 1996 United States Forest Service retired Jeep Cherokee.. I was in love, lol. Only had 100,000 miles, It's been such an excellent vehicle. Just the usual maintenance breakdowns, never anything serious. That 4.0 is a beast of an engine. I live on the Washington coast, and drive it in the sand somewhat often. I've never been even close to getting stuck. (I got a set of Toyo 30" on her, and her name is Pistachio)
I own a '14 KL Trailhawk, which is probably up there in the most hated jeep categories. But I absolutely love it. Comfortable, beautiful pano sun roof, rear locker, 4low, skid plates, and I added Bilsteins, a lift, and AT3Ws. It's a blast at the sand dunes
No , it's a good jeep and does the deed very well. Comfort is important and it doesn't drive like a brick ✌️🦆

A BMW I6 mechanically will last a long fuckin time. That being said, the electronics and sensors are a nightmare
I love my 95 xj. Nothing beats it. With the seats folded it has the perfect amount of cargo space. Has been to hell and back off road. Great vehicle.
Had a 95 cherokee with a 5 speed & the HO 4.0, greatest car I’ve ever owned and i kick myself for selling it every day.
Got a 91 5 speed ho 2 door
Thats my current ride. I even got antique plates for it, lol. I love my 2 door.
@@PhysifistEngineering the 2 doors are classics so the antique plates make sense
Pretty ballsy doing a video about cherokees sitting in front of a wrangler.
@Brady Burke I'm not a jeep expert, but I've owned 5 or 6 cherokees in my lifetime so far. But not one wrangler. They're kinda like a scrap metal box on wheels, with all the desirable features of just that.
John Dough But which is the scrap box? The Wrangler or the Cherokee? It wasn't clear which one you were referring to.
@@dickJohnsonpeter I found the wrangler owner, you guys!
Had a 99 XJ lifted up 4.5” on 33’s for my first vehicle Thing was an absolute machine... Ask my what my biggest regret was.
Selling it would be the correct answer

@@GentlytickledHAM same. First car, love it.
Picked up a '00 WJ for $600. 4.0 Inline 6 with the AT-5 5-speed transmission. 248k miles. A few sensors, an oil change, and new tires later, its in decent shape, and a great offroad and winter performer.
At this point I think I’m just watching for those mid video plugs, pepbros for life!
the one in the bronco video is still my fav so far
I own a Cherokee, I've been waiting for this episode 🙏 thanks guys
Rowdy Shinkle agree! Watching this video with a huge smile and my 95 XJ in the driveway
230,000 miles and counting on my cherokee running strong. It truly was a triumph of automotive design. Absolutely spectacular vehicles. In 8 years it has literally never broken down on me. It needs repairs, but it has never has trouble driving itself to the parts store or the shop to get them done.
Hell yeah! I own a 2000 jeep cherokee sport! 4.0 rules!
Up to Speed on the Chevy Colorado or the S10
Or just Chevrolet, in general.
Why
I’d watch that
Dave Painter that truck changed the game when it came to dropping big V8s in tiny trucks and going fast.
They shouldve put the S10 pickup in the Blazer video.
Man I would like a zj episode. The first uni body, most under rated jeep ever made. It comes with a damn V8. Coil springs all the way around.
I thought the XJ Cherokee and Wagoneer were unibody SUVs. Am I wrong?
Best one yet. I own a 5.9 ZJ and a WK.
XJ Cherokee is the GOAT.
Which year is the best under 1997 idk im a kid but i lov cherokke xj
@@chEs9i my moms was i think a 1989 and she sold it because it kept braking down but it had around. From what i remember 4 to 500,000 miles and more accidents to the body then i can count. She now has a 2012 wrangler sahara
You guys completely left out the AMC Eagle wagon which was the true predecessor of the XJ. Remember, FSJ continued production after the XJ was created. The Cherokee only adopted it's name.
6-12 year old me thought the Eagle was the coolest car
The amc eagle coupes are so cool
I'm in the process of buying my first and XJ and I'm super excited.
On my 4th jeep, and it’s my second XJ. You cannot deny how good of a car these things are. They just don’t die out, you can beat the hell out of a 4.0 and it will just keep running. Not to mention how good they are on the trail. Can’t tell you the amount of times I’ve seen a clapped XJ destroy a fully built wrangler on the trails.

We have two rusty XJs and just can't part with them. I even sold off my TJ. It's hard to beat a small 5 door wagon for fishing, hunting, camping, and being able to drive through the woods off a road or trail. Places you just can't fit a full size truck or SUV.

JSPH : I got 2 of em
The axles in the WJ were made lighter for on road fuel economy using aluminum casings, however were still reliable off road since the axle shafts are held in by bearing retainer plates. The bearings are pressed on the shafts themselves, unlike a weaker C clip axle that can easily let the shafts slide out of the casing if the C clip breaks. That was a performance feature borrowed from Borg Warner, since Dana ended up buying out Borg Warner. That's something to be on the lookout for, between a Dana 44 and Dana 44A axle, the 44A is made out of aluminum and doesn't have the hole in the hub to remove the bearing retainer plates.
4:46 "it was untouchable"
*4runner enters chat*
Only two vehicles that can take on car hell lol
bought my zj for 1000 couple years ago. still running strong 👏🤘👏🤘👏🤘
the xj was the first unitbody suv and the first coil sprung jeep. Im sorta disappointed about how much you left out about the xj and the fact that you included jeep grand cherokees. the 5.9 grand cherokee deserves its own video. the liberty is not a cherokee and its ifs
Tanner that's because they know nothing other than jdm cars
Actually the Liberty was called the Cherokee pretty much everywhere other than North America.
To be fair. The Cherokee is technically in its fifth gen with the KL. While they changed the name here in the states. They kept the Cherokee name on the global platform on the KJ and KK models. Which they called the liberty in the states.
I'm disappointed that they just closed over the KJ Liberty/Cherokee. They are far more capable off road then they get credit for and they reversed the slumping sales the Cherokee was experiencing given that by 2001 it was an ancient design that while popular with people that wanted to go off road was not making in roads with someone that wants a vehicle that is capable of handling rough terrain but is more comfortable on the road at the same time.
And has been started the Liberty is branded as the Cherokee everywhere but the US. The only reason it want here was the "purists" insisted the Cherokee would continue to sell and out sell the bee Liberty...need less to say the XJ Cherokee died the following year when its sales imploded.
I wanna an episode on the mercury cougar and or the ford thunderbird
i have an 86 xj with the 4 cylinder and a 4 speed. damn thing is an offroad monster. so far the only thing ive ever been limited by it traction from the tires. had it out on the h2 hummer test track at road atlanta and it performed flawlessly. and that was before installing the rubicon 3 inch lift
The James Pumphrey saga continues, and I am hyped about it.
I just realized why he’s so funny, James behaves just like Jack Black did in the early days. Similar vocal influxes, pauses, and oddly similar looks? Very entertaining
The editors need a raise.
PazmatiKz I agree 🙏🏻
I start searching for XJ’s online and this video gets recommended to me. Love you Donut.
I wish there would be a video dedicated to the Comanche. Or at least more than just the 12 second honorable mention
I love watching you guys blow up. I remember when you guys started dope to watch good people succeed 👌
The XJ Cherokee was totally unrelated to the Liberty and was discontinued in 2001, I don't think they shared anything beyond a name and maybe some small parts bin trim or electrical components. The Liberty had a different un that was shorter and taller than the XJ. The Liberty used a Chrysler 2.4l I4 or 3.8l V6, mated to a Chrysler automatic transmission or an NV manual. All but the very first and very last XJs had an AMC 4.0l I6 or 2.5l I4, mated to an Aisin-Warner transmission. The Liberty had a front independent suspension and rear solid axle with a control arm/coil setup similar to the 2005 WK Grand Cherokee, while the XJ had two solid axles with a control arm/coil front and a leaf spring rear.
Wanna know another fun fact about the XJ? It was made by Jeep's Chinese division for their domestic market up until 2006, some with a raised roof and stretched wheelbase to enlarge the tiny backseat and act as a taxi or chauffeured vehicle. Starting in 2009 and continuing until 2014 another Chinese company restarted domestic production of the XJ as the BAW Qishi, but used older Nissian engine designs instead of the original AMC engines.
Incorrect they used a 3.7
Josh Figueroa not that anyone cares about what engine went in the Jeep Liberty
In other parts of the world it was still called a cherokee, so I guess not totally unrelated
Well to be fair. The rest of the world, while the us had the KK liberty, well they got the KK Cherokee. If that matters, to them it’s like the Cherokee got a new refresh.
they did share the 8.25 rear axle
I recently picked up a 1988 jeep XJ less than a year ago. It’s best to absolute hell, rust everywhere… dings and dents, paint fading AND. 467,000 miles on the odometer (before it failed), the entire body around the 4.0 is falling apart, buts that motor has taken me to Washington, Oregon, Wyoming, Colorado and hasn’t failed me yet. And it’s probably worth 1,000 bucks. Best. Vehicle. Ever.
First jeep was an 86' xj. My dad passed it onto me in 2006. We put a combined 687000 km's on that beauty.
The grand cherokee zj is the 🐐. Luxury and comfort solid axles, coils front and rear, v8 options, as capable as the wrangler and xj cheaper than both. I love all 3 of mine
I have a 97 4.0 zj love it
If it weren't for the low pinion front axle, the aluminum dana 44, and the transfer case theyd be perfect. easy to swap those out with better ones though
i have a 95 zj and mine is solid other than the trans cooler that keeps taking a shit
I love how they dont even mention the new Fiat Chrysler Cherokee bastard child lmaooooo
The fucking van lol
Does not even deserve the title of Jeep, let alone Cherokee
That's right! THE UGLY DUCKLING Cherokee crossover (fortunately they're changing this year its' worse feature, the TOO SMALL headlights...).
@@syxepop honestly it looks like a Jeep trying to look like a Hyundai Tucson
Avrage Trinidadian, if you look closely most of the compact or smaller crossovers they will look like the one that was the MOST SUCCESSFUL of the bunch among themselves, so you can confuse between several competitors.
Problem is FCA seemed to TRY TOO HARD with the Cherokee crossover, while the smaller Renegade has been far more successful on BEING DIFFERENT ENOUGH from the small bunch, even to the point that they're willing to go EVEN SMALLER to the new Suzuki Jimny (successor to our Samurai) footprint.
