Просмотров 14 тыс.4 года назад
This week in building a rock crawler jeep we are doing a one ton axle swap on our cj7 build. We are pretty much building a rock crawler from scratch on this one as when we bought this project it was just a tub of a CJ7 on a YJ frame with a roll cage built on it. We decided to use a bunch of Barnes 4WD products to help us put the CJ7 on tons. I sourced a Chevy kingpin Dana 60 for the front and G...

This week we are building a transmission crossmember using the Barnes 4wd crossmember mounting set. We need a custom transmission crossmember for mounting Atlas 4 speed and our 4L60E transmission in our CJ7 rockcrawler. Installing atlas 4 speed in the CJ7 was a bit of work as the shape of the floor never intended to have such a large transfer case right up against it.

hello , thanks for your video , wanna ask you what type of oil i can use for atlat 4 speed
thanks for the video. I am swapping a Jeep CJ 7 with an LS 5.3 engine, 4l60 transmission and I have an issue with mounting the gearbox and transfer case. The space between the transfer outlet and the rear differential is too short, the pinion angles are too much. In addition to the double driveshaft I would like to modify the angle of the engine. how can I do it? How many degrees can I lower the engine? Is there a video where it is explained
But you limited the rear travel quite a bit. The tire can't tuck under the fender at full flex. You lost like 5 inch of travel .
Is that a trussed Dana 30 ? Are you running chromoly shafts and u-joints ?
@tedheath2326 it's a JK Dana 30 with sleeves in the axle tube's, a truss, c gussets, and a locker. The shafts themselves are stock. I havent had any issues with it.
What axles , lockers are you running ? Gears and tires ?
Anything over 3 you need a slip yoke
Any Drawbacks on adding a triangulated 4 link on a road driven rig? I recently ordered the RK kit for the new Broncos and am curious as to any downsides with this type of system.
I'll be honest this rig has hit the back burner due to life circumstances and it has not been finished or road driven yet. I personally am not aware of any drawbacks to driving on the road with such a setup... however I am by no means an expert. Sorry we are unable to be of any more assistance. Hopefully someday this rig will get drug out of the back corner of the garage and finished however for now it's going to continue to sit and catch dust for a while. Thanks for reaching out though.
Torque specs?
I am installing this in my XJ and it does not fit my group 34 battery. The tray is almost an inch shorter than the stock one. I'm about to cut the flange off and weld some angle to it to make it long enough. For $160 I am not happy. I would not recommend. I went online to see if I missed something. I guess it is meant for Optima group 34 batteries only. It looked awesome despite Rusty's lousy reputation but I decieded it's a battery tray how can they screw it up.
You guys still wheeling?
How’s this bumper holding up? I’m thinking about buying that exact setup for my JKU.
What axles?
It has JK axles in it, Dana 30 and Dana 44.
How match Kit attached Jeep Cherokee
What did your link lengths end up being? I am currently doing the lowers on a stretched CJ7.
Awesome video. Shows exactly what I was wondering. Thank you.
The Jeep Cherokee XJ's offroading capabilities are a reminder that adventure awaits at every turn.
Hats off to the driver for showcasing the true potential of the Cherokee XJ. It's like watching poetry in motion
"Seeing the Cherokee XJ in action is a testament to its reputation as one of the most capable offroad vehicles.
Electric Jackhammer and inverter. Is that Cheating?
What rear bumper do you have on the jeep? Would like one for mine
It's a Smitty Bilt bumper and tire carrier however I cannot express enough how much I do not recommend it. It didn't hold up at all at least for me and the 37 I hung off it. It would constantly rattle and make all kinds of noise. It drove me absolutely nuts, I ended up selling it for that exact reason.
Can anyone measure from bolt to bolt for me? I can't find anything that clearly states the measurement...I'd really appreciate it.
I need a set for my xj..how much is this set? Thanks
Whats taeres ave?
That does not look like Wisconsin.
We were stationed in New Mexico when the video was filmed.
Is there a video coming of shock install? Cool video.
Max got orders and had to move away. Not sure if there will be more videos coming in the future unfortunately.
Great looking rack!
Looks very clean!
Did you ever get this rig built? I'd love to see how it worked out!
No I didn't, not yet anyhow. Ended up having to move twice, once across the country, which brought things to a screeching hault. Ended up getting deployed right after that as well. Hopefully once I'm back in the states I'll be able to start slowly making progress on it again.
thank you for this video - i was trying to figure out a way to mod my stock tray untill i saw you got one from rustys - ordered one today
Thank you for this video!
Glad you found it informative! Happy jeeping.
@@SWActiveExplorers bought the same item, I was struggling getting 4 Hi and 4 low to play nice, I thought the outside cable sleeve Novak sent me was too long/short relative to the inside cable, then I saw you used one of the holes in the middle of the shift lever, magic happened after I moved to one of the middle positions!!! Thanks.
This is my August trip next year...
Its a great trail. Have fun and be safe!
The white 2 door on jaws 1 is off trail.
Those so called spotters are crazy.
And?...
I just ordered mine. How’s your holding up
Had the joints in for three years with no issues. Moved on to a set of Adam's driveshafts 1350 extreme series when I put the jeep on 37s.
Where bouts is this trail? ..... and do y'all know more trails like this one or anything with river crossings?
Unbelievable!! Can’t think of anything more thrilling especially up the mighty Blanca of the Sangres.
Just picked up an XJ 2 door, lifted almost as much as this, rinolined and just so much fun driving! I just got hooked on the rock crawlers, mudders and all, just because I needed a winter beater. Well...the winter beater just turned into another cool vehicle that I have to put money in LOL.
Welcome to the wonderful world of wheeling. They are endless money pits, but we love em haha.
@@SWActiveExplorers Thanks. Yeah, its too nice so I found myself looking for another winter beater...I maybe should look for a car I absolutely hate lol
YOO this is so cool! Yeah it’s 4 years later but I have a 5” lift kit not a long arm. But I live in ABQ too!
Small world man!
Hey man, why no steering stabilizer?
Gotta risk it to get the biscuit. Nah man, with everything I swapped the stuff I had wasn't gonna work for one so I'd have to fabricate mounts and just never got around to it. It's in a box in the garage somewhere. Just never felt like it.
Good review...and,.thanks for your service.
Thank you!
Time wise, about how many hrs does it take to run the whole trail up and back? Thanks for the video
You can run up and down in a day if you don't stop to smell the roses and start early enough.
Thank you
Still looking for that sweeping antenna in Europe.
What suspension kit does the en Jeep have??
Which jeep?
Hello I’m in the process of swapping jk dana 44s in to my xj. I’ve already got the front done now just need to swap the rear hopefully in the next week or 2. Any advice on how to get my measurements and calculations for the new leaf spring perches to have the axle centered correctly. This is the only part I’m questioning myself. As I don’t want screw up and the spring perches not centered correctly. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated on how to go about figuring out the measurements to properly center rear axle with new spring perches. Thanks again.
The rear end is the easiest part. Ideally you've got the old axle as a template. Measure how far apart the spring pearches are on the old axle. Set the new perches that far apart. You can also temp install the springs and let them hang and verify that measurement looks roughly correct. Now to center them choose a known point on both sides like the brake disk or a bracket. Measure in from that point to your perch on both sides. Shift them side to side until it's the same length. Then Measure from one perch to the other to reverify they are the same width as what you had on the old axle. Now your in the ball park. Mark the axle and hold them in place with magnets and you can move on to setting how the perches are clocked which is pretty easy to do. During this process you can set the axle under the jeep and springs and mock things up and Measure a bunch. Measure as many times as it takes to be confident, no such thing as over measuring. Hope that helps. Feel free to comment more if you have more questions.
I’ve booked a trip to go do this trail this summer, very much looking forward to it
Its a lot of fun. Be safe!
The thing I love about my XJ is that watching vids of people doing stuff is like watching BA Baracus fab something up on the A-Team!
I don't know about the rusty performance shocks but. I can tell you from experience for the money I have yet to find a better shock than Bilstein. I've tried Fox shocks. And honestly in the conditions I was running they rusted and leaked out all their oils my bill steins are 6 years old with a zero rust.
I did Kane creek a couple of days ago and it was a lot of fun. One ledge on Hamburger Hill was a little difficult but the rest was a piece of cake. A very wide variety of terrain, from the water crossing in the creek bottoms to the high rocky ledges.
I know that when I rock crawl, I prefer to have 3 people spotting me, hopeful with differing ideas of what I should be doing.
Yeahhhh. People don’t know how to shut up
Fuck yeah send it
