Did you fix it, how was the ride afterward?

Chris Hellstern says:

Man I love your channel, is there any chance of getting some tj version of
the videos done for the xj.

Melissa Cumms says:

he zip lined out of his repair shop haha

rag Doll says:

How difficult is it to replace all bushings on a 76 cj7 jeep? :0

Bobby Rebussini says:

great video always love them. but man watch out with that 4×4 man i have
the same jack so i have to do the same and it has fallen 

TheGilbertsonfamily says:

Wow, that 4×4 piece of wood looks super sketch used like that.

NARROW THE FRONT END ON THE NEW ZOMBIE JEEP AND MAKE VIDEO PLZ

Jesse W says:

you make me want to spend all my paycheck on tools

wilsonryder says:

buy a adjustable control arm works good

Dave LeBlanc says:

Jesus!!! Jack up the axle, get the stands out from under then lower the
jack. If it is too front heavy you can leave the front axle on the jack and
use a cumalong to get it into place. That was crazy dangerous. I hope
your mom doesn’t watch these videos. haha 

Noah Guyse says:

Instead of grinding it just leave the metal piece in a freezer for a day it
will get a little smaller

John Irwin says:

i assume this same bushing would work on a newer 97 model without the big
cad disconnect 30?

bleepinjeep rocks!

yanni6556 says:

I liked the entire video except for the part where you used timber to jack
the car up, my god i wouldn’t get under there!

Kyle gaming says:

I don’t own a car or even old enought but i came from #SpiersTheAmazing

szili76 says:

What a nice bushing. Job well done

bleepinjeep says:

im trying, its harder than it seems.

bleepinjeep says:

maybe once I get a new stock cherokee (hopefully soon)… right now I dont
have much fenders left and I dont have any plastic pieces either. But
usually I use a sharpie and a air shear to cut the front fenders. On the
stock bumper I believe the plastic pieces come off with a torx… I think a
torx socket on an extension is what I used.

Ryan Stratemann says:

When you were adjusting your pinion angle there is a million ways to do it
but the safest i have found is to just use a pipe wrench on the axle and
use a floor jack to adjust how much tension is on it. One man parade style
haaha

Evan Last says:

The first bushing you replaced. Is that where the UCA connect to the top of
the axle housing? I have a 02 TJ, what is the part number for that specific
bushing. Thaks man!

Dana Willis says:

Great! This video is great, thank you. I’ll be installing mine tomorrow!

Scott Sickler says:

How do you like this mod?

unidentifiedbomb says:

Hi Matt, I have play in my front d30 axle to where when in reverse if i
jerk the brake my whole axle moves in pinion axle between brakes but it
only happens in reverse. Do you think this could be caused by a bad upper
control arm bushing? My xj is lifted 3.5″s and has RE superflex lcas and
they don’t move at all. Thanks for always answering my questions.

bleepinjeep says:

HAha, Thats exactly what I’d hoped…

hyperactivecalvino says:

dude every time I look for anything, how to, jeep, you are there. God damn
you are awesome. I wish you lived near me in michigan id pay you to do all
my work.

randalusa says:

Rent them for free? Sure glad I am not the parts store owner where you live.

thor777mx says:

ya same here no one wants to ever go wheeling.

bleepinjeep says:

any autozone, oreilleys, and advanced, maybe even napa will sell you the
rental tool then give you your money back when you return the tool. They
make their money by selling you the part you are replacing.

bleepinjeep says:

ya, for the rear you can use dodge dakota leafs, for the front you can use
spacers for a cheap lift. google “bastard pack cherokee” or “budget lift”
or something like that.

Ty Hadji says:

Is that the rustys steering upgrade?

Dana Willis says:

Hey bleepin, how are those bushings holding up?

thinkahead5 says:

Just use a big ass hammer

bleepinjeep says:

glad i could help

Longboarders999 says:

Hey Matt could make make a video showing how you would trim your fenders?
And how to take the plastics off the rear bumper? Thanks! Love your videos!
-Matt

bleepinjeep says:
