Those little magnets you found on the fuel line are called Fuel Master magnets. Its a gimmic item that's supposed "straighten out the ions, and improve flow" of gas. Its an idea from the 70's/80's. They used big magnets called "cow magnets" back then with the same idea.
The advertising says 10% fuel increase. Before I knew any better, I got one for $8 thinking if it did 2%, it would pay for itself. That was back in the days when running Boggers were I got gallons per mile. I thinking I got it at Harbor Freight.
You’re doing a great service by hanging onto those xj’s, dont let anyone tell you otherwise, its not hogging, you just happened to be giving the opportunity to be able to collect and store such a huge aresenal, they may not all be saveable, but the parts are! One day people are gonna want those
Appreciate what you do! Keep the videos coming! Would definitely watch a body work video, it's way tougher than it seems. Also, those gas tank rings are a real (word I can't say). Almost drove me crazy trying to close up the tank on my TJ.
I bought a couple XJ's that I intended to use for parts to fix up my Comanche, but I havent been able to bring myself to take a part a perfectly good XJ and pull it off of the road. So far I have just fixed up the XJ's and put them back on the road.
When I was 17, My dad and I took turns driving an early 90’s white XJ ,Manual transmission, from Florida to Wisconsin. That’s a lot of windshield time with my dad and my love for the XJ began. 30 years later I bought a 98 white manual transmission. It’s in great shape but still have hours of therapeutic garage time. Speaking of therapy, you could open up something like a petting zoo for adults and XJ lovers. Ride around and tell us stories about XJs and the quirky things of each one. Pretty sure my HSA will cover it and since my wife’s family still lives in Tennessee, I have a good excuse to see your XJs-I mean in-laws. Make it happen!
You aren’t a hackjob bro or else you wouldn’t be complaining about the cut wires !! F the haters ! You’re good at what you do and it shows ! Big love from Baltimore!!
That's a pretty decent looking jeep this is coming from another fanatic of xjs ran em for years I had a 01 that same color lived til body rusted out in PA
Hey dex just ordered a rebuild kit for my first wj, she’s been sitting with a knock for a couple years but ima dive into it n your channel finna help me out a lot🙏🏼
Your detailer does an amazing job considering the mess's you drop into their hands. I was expecting a basic pressure washer blast job but that thing is glossy, It went from "trash" to serious potential!
Dex your saving so many of them and put them back on the road so people including yourself and mark and Justin can drive and enjoy fairly decent versions instead of the usual wrecked rust buckets most of us end up owning lol
Dex, as someone who has torn down many 4.0s: for the 4.0s you care about, do you let them warm up in the winter before driving? For how long/what temp.
Just a suggestion but my 90 Dodge Dakota se was also broken on the left side because someone did not know how to take the radio out so when I put a 92 dodge Dakota Chrysler pentastar emblem cassette tape player digital readout blackout face radio with the eq and buttons,i used factory rear mount on the back and a piece of exhaust pipe strap with the holes and the factory right side radio mount bolt and it held the radio in the dash fine
Just got a trans in my 99xj made this odd noise prior sorta like the inspiration cover is touching flexplate. Thought I’d find the sounds during the trans swap but did not😢 pulled the cover and test drove again think I may have got a touch better but not 100% sure. Any thoughts from the best xj crowd around?
DEX SIGN THE HAT I JUST BOUGHT LIKE YOU DID THE OTHER HAT I BOUGHT. THE ORDER NAME IS THE SAME AS MY RUclips NAME. LOVE THE VIDEO I ALSO ENJOY WORKING ON CHEROKEES IVE GOT 5 ONE OF EACH JUST NEED A COMANCHE TO COMPLETE MY COLLECTION. IVE STILL GOT 2 98 5.9 GC FOR SALE OR ID TRANDE YOU FOR A DECENT COMANCHE MUST BE 4X4 AND HAVE THE 4.O
I wish I could ship a 2001 xj to you to fix, the engine turns over but only runs if you give it gas but has bad rough idle and dies, replaced all censors *literally all censors and some replaced 2 or 3 times assuming the new ones were bad* checked all grounds, new computer, new plugs, throttle body clean, new ejectors, had a head crack and replaced with the updated 0331 head, oil and all fluid are okay now, what am I missing?
Had a 2000 classic with 114k bought it for 500 bucks best thing ever had it for 3 years and last year a tree fell on it ...the body was perfect before the tree
Great content, as always! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
I got the dang no bus on the cluster. I’ve tried everything new crank sensor tried cleaning the terminals on the cluster did the washer behind the plugs to keep them from moving and nothing worked. Anyone have any advice. Also cleaned grounds up
I to enjoy Dexter's humble approach and honest with everything. BTW when you get around to trying to convert a 2wd AW4 to 4wd drive I'll definitely be checking it out. I'm wanting to do one myself. I figuerd I'll will start with the 90XJ transmission end housing to try to pair with my 91MJ 2wd
Something worth watching. Thanks brother.
You're all videos are absolutely awesome I can't wait to get a new one every day

I remember those. 😅😅😅😅
Dex out here doing God's work
Keep the great videos coming I’ve watched almost all your videos.
Keep up the great work. Save as many Cherokees as possible.
That's the plan!
LMAO, do you edit these videos because they are always hilarious! Leaving in the bloopers is my fav thing. Always excited to see you’ve uploaded
44:42 "hey there I am" had me rolling. Much love man
It's awesome how you know everything about these damn things
I have a 98. Learned alot about the wiring, my xj is a Florida flavor, I live in wis and she's pretty solid.
I'm slowly getting it back on the road.

Absolutely a pain. I may try a body work video one day and see again.
You are a genius on these old jeeps. I would recommend soldering with shrink covers over those crimpers for wires, just better long term. 😊😊😊😊
Keep up the amazing work dex I like watching your videos they are really inspiring

Make it happen!
40:56 GoPro attachment makes a big difference. Better for the ride along.
I enjoyed this one… Makes me think my 99 XJ has hope for getting it back to road worthy. Thanks for the inspiration and info.
That’s what I’m here for!
You aren’t a hackjob bro or else you wouldn’t be complaining about the cut wires !! F the haters ! You’re good at what you do and it shows ! Big love from Baltimore!!
Everything will run in a hands of an expert!!! Love ur vids.

Hey dex just ordered a rebuild kit for my first wj, she’s been sitting with a knock for a couple years but ima dive into it n your channel finna help me out a lot🙏🏼
I don’t understand how anyone can hate on this man. He’s goated

The video we've all been waiting for. Oh yea 😎😎
Excellent
94xj ...
I would like to see if you can do aw4 2 wheel drive conversion to 4wd and vice versa maybe
I sent a message via your website about a replacement engine for my 2001 XJ. If you wanna sell the engine you showed at the beginning of the video.. 😂
Good luck getting a response…
Another XJ saved . Bit more TLC she be a great Jeep 👌🇦🇺✌️.
Hey, just keep 'em coming. Not so much Cherokee guy, but their interesting none the less. More into the Comanches and my daily is a LJ.
Dex, as someone who has torn down many 4.0s: for the 4.0s you care about, do you let them warm up in the winter before driving? For how long/what temp.
I let mine warm up a minute or two. It's old, cast iron and needs some respect.
You need to do a "will it drive 1000 miles" revival with a Cherokee ! haha
#HackJob saves another one!
You need to do the off road games this year!!
U got any right hand drive jeeps?
Aka old usps snow rigs
Like two!
@@dexjs let's get one going
Your going to drive a dog and a mail lady lol.
In need of a fire red hatch with power locks and factory tinted glass and defrost if you have one in good shape
Thx I watch to the end, and hit like before I watch
Magnets on the fuel line were supposed to give you better gas mileage.
Yeah, I grew up in the 60s and that was old back then.
Of course dex receives mail via jeep haha
Dam u have a lot of jeeps I have a 92 two door 5 speed
The parts jeep at 40:00 has the window regulator in the same location as the one you are working on.
Just a suggestion but my 90 Dodge Dakota se was also broken on the left side because someone did not know how to take the radio out so when I put a 92 dodge Dakota Chrysler pentastar emblem cassette tape player digital readout blackout face radio with the eq and buttons,i used factory rear mount on the back and a piece of exhaust pipe strap with the holes and the factory right side radio mount bolt and it held the radio in the dash fine
Give me a bump to see if my crank sensor is working too 😂
But..... why did they park it? That thing seems pretty decent all the way around. 🤔🤷🏻♂️
We scrapped a Cherokee that was in perfect shape......except the frame was rusted out. Wish I kept the motor at least.
Very nice
What are the odds that someone said I am not pulling that tank again? Forget it.
in ca ive seen so many nice rust free xj's drive to there death at the local pick n pull
Just got a trans in my 99xj made this odd noise prior sorta like the inspiration cover is touching flexplate. Thought I’d find the sounds during the trans swap but did not😢 pulled the cover and test drove again think I may have got a touch better but not 100% sure.
Any thoughts from the best xj crowd around?
I have learned a lot
I need the silver center grill and headlight bezels
Do you have any Cherokees from AMC American motors?
DEX SIGN THE HAT I JUST BOUGHT LIKE YOU DID THE OTHER HAT I BOUGHT. THE ORDER NAME IS THE SAME AS MY RUclips NAME.

🤘
You should trade me that Jeep or any good running and driving Jeep for my 1996 250 RM 2stroke
Great content, as always! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
In my personal opinion that's the best body style available that's a awesome square body
I got the dang no bus on the cluster. I’ve tried everything new crank sensor tried cleaning the terminals on the cluster did the washer behind the plugs to keep them from moving and nothing worked. Anyone have any advice. Also cleaned grounds up
Just so you know a jeep in that good of condition will sell for 5 to 7k all day every day up north
Oh yes I know!
Hmmmmmmm. I don't think that snake skin was there yesterday...
Im guessing the insurance wrote it off as a total loss dex therefore the insurance company sold it to the scrapyard for junk
Do you sell any rigs for a parts jeep $1000
Has MORR's Banana🍌 and Tangerine 🍊 created a demand for these old
-school-sqaure 4.0L 4x4 Cherokees?
Can I have one?
Not bad for a junkyard Jeep get all fixed up make it a daily driver
How about a real Jeep Wagoneer from AMC American motors
Do you really have that many haters out there I mean really that's insane
Still waiting on the AW4 zj swap
I got questions on the swap. I’ll do it one day!
