From 1 To 850+ Jeep Cherokees: My Journey To My Massive Collection! (My Life Story)
Feels like just yesterday I had my first ever Jeep Cherokee, and now I have woken up with over 850 of them. This is me telling the story of basically my last 20 years of business along with childhood raising. Hard to believe where it started to where I am now with my collection. I do the best to remember every step of my journey, but I had to leave many details out and just cover basics. Hope you enjoy, I do think it's an epic story for a person of my age!!

Can This New Year Model TCM Revive A Nearly Extinct Species of XJs?
Просмотров 20 тыс.День назад
These older model (87-90) Jeep Cherokee TCMs are basically impossible to find at this given point. Not aware of a company remanufacturing them and used is hard to find. I decided to take a gamble against what people said would work so the older Renix Style Cherokees can stay on the road just a little while longer.

Can A Rollover Trigger Low Oil Pressure In A Jeep 4.0? Let's Investigate!
Просмотров 5 тыс.21 день назад
Just on a hunt for a good used engine, I run into the story that this was a rollover/wrecked Jeep Grand Cherokee. Jeep looked a little rougher than the average wreck, but who knows. Before I pulled the engine the oil pressure dropped down to nearly 5psi. Without just doing a full rebuild I go through steps seeing what helps get the pressure back up. Just a video for learning on mine and your en...

    I can totally relate, hard work pays off. I have a day job as a welder, i also do side jobs welding and fabricating on everything from utility trailers to construction equipment. In the. Last 8 years or so I’ve been buying Cherokees and fixing them up. Buying 2 or 3 to make one good one. Keeps me busy when the side jobs are slow. I too am debut free at age of 37. Hard work pays off.

    Heck of a collection. I remember the days when you had to pay in some areas to get a junk vehicle removed. It was common to bury junk cars too. My state would charge property tax on every vehicle registered or not. So if I had 850 vehicles I’d be charged between 25-40k a year in taxes just to have them on the property.

He is 14 and recently acquired a 2000 Cherokee that needs an engine. This is a great video of how you got where you are. Thanks for being a positive influence.

    Man bud what a video! I just subscribed to your channel. Long story short my younger brother and I have spoke for 3 years and he messaged me not long ago and we forgave each other. Well he just messaged me your channel and seeing how me and my brother mainly my brother is into JEEPs and we use to go out on trails having a Blast he sent your channel and this is the first video i watched. I gotta say it hit me, bought back all those good memories of me and him heading out with hie Tj then he upgraded to his 2006 Rubicon. And i pushed a 1998 ZJ 4.0L. I appreciate the video and your channel brother. Your definitely living the Dream as my brother put it. Wish I could go back in time and do the same thing with my younger brother.
