So, our little youtube channel was received really well here on XJTalk. I guess that means I'll start a thread about us and what were doing.

Very nicely done vid

[NeverSmashaPaul]

Thanks we have really been putting a lot of time into our channel lately and its all been worth it. The video i just post was about 8 months of filming and editing that my partner put his heart and soul into. Needless to say we're very pleased with the results.

[4.3LXJ]

I really like the shop clips interspersed with the trail/race clips

[NeverSmashaPaul]

Kevin was working with andy Carter at Ironman4x4fab, and was smart enough to film the entire process of his cage being built.

Sweet vid.....:beer:

[XJ Wheeler]

Very cool! I actually just found and caught up on all the videos. Its awesome when people put the time in to get info out. If nobody does it, we won't know what the next thing keeping us broke will be. :rolleyes:

New video is out. We had some questions on our Ford 8.8s. Even though the subject is well beat to death on the forums, we decided to give a quick breakdown why we did it.

Our next video should be the WJ knuckle swap. We will be showing the entire process including steering and brakes. :patriot:

HURRY UP!
:smiley-taunt002:
This is a subject I have done (probably too much) research on... I would LOVE to actually see a video on the topic... Should be very interesting.
Thanks in advance guys! (and thank you both for your service)

Time for some upgrades to our filming gear. Today I got our new shotgun microphone in the mail. Should make our next vid sound much better! :bacondance:

Nicely done with the NON product placement ;o)

Sorry folks. No WJ swap video this weekend. My Jeep still isn't finished getting the cage installed, but as soon is she is back from the shop we will get back to work!

To help pass the time here is a picture of my first drive with my XJ 2wd in Johnson Valley CA.

So, as soon as we opened the box on this thing we knew we had to do a proof of concept video. We were blown away at how easy to fly it was and the stability of the video.

So i'm seeing price tags of over $1200 ...you guys really drop that kind of coin on one of these?

[NeverSmashaPaul]

Sorta. A lot of saving, and budgeting.

So, we apologize for not putting out the WJ video as fast as we though we were going to. We were busy making a roll-cage for the race Jeep. Kevin is finishing editing the WJ knuckle video as we speak, but till then here is visual proof we were busy.

Still not finished, but this was the main effort the past few weekends.

[NeverSmashaPaul]

WJ knuckle swap video is finished. We will put it on youtube tomorrow evening!

Ladies and Gentleman, boys and girls. I think it's time you upgrade your brakes. I mean why not? All the cool kids are doing it. Regardless you should check out our video. You might laugh or you might not, big whoop. Regardless you might go deaf from the intro being so damn loud, but thats okay. We still love you!

Is there anything that XJtalk wants to see a video done on? Our next video should be about both of our rigs, the race team, and who we are. However, we are always open to suggestions and criticism.

-Spence

[NW99XJ]

:keegirl: I think some that people would be interested in would be:

Clocking The Transfer Case
Transfer Case Swap (from a 242 to a 231 / etc...)
Rear Disk Brake Upgrade
Brake Booster Upgrade/ Proportioning Valve Swap
Rocker Replacement
Thru The Floor Rear Shock Hoops
...And one that I think would be in great demand by many first time Jeepers.... "What to do when your rear shock mount bolts break"


Some of these are delving into the realm of fabrication, but I think would still be vids that people would be interested in seeing, or enjoy watching if nothing else.

As always, you guys are doing some great work... you have really stepped up your game in the last couple vids, and the pride you guys are taking in what you're doing really shows. Keep up the great work!

I would be interested in a video on how to teach a cat to talk. So I can understand what Mr. FluffNStuff is saying all the time.

On a serious note, I think the ZJ brake upgrade and master cylinder upgrade would be good ones

I guess we will have to find somebodies XJ to do a rear disc swap on. Our both have discs already. Lol. :penguin:

[4.3LXJ]

Yes, there is always that problem. You guys should have been making vids sooner. Can you guys get a foam cover for the mic? It would reduce the wind noise

[NeverSmashaPaul]

We have the foam cover for the shot-gun mic, and what is called the "dead cat." It really was just that windy. Our luck.

You know one thing I have been contemplating is doing a WJ disc swap, which is much more braking power than the ZJ. I haven't taken one apart yet, but it looks like there is a plate that bolts to the housing that acts as a bracket for the caliper. Kind of like the ZJ. Anyway, I think with a little re drilling of the rotor and you could do it. I haven't researched it yet, but I have a wrecked WJ here to fool with

Look at our video. It is fairly straight forward.

[4.3LXJ]

The rear brakes? I know you did one for the front brakes

[NeverSmashaPaul]

Oh I don't know about rear brakes to swap over. With the Dana 44A and all. Maybe the Dana 35 version, but I think all my XJ friends have ditched the 35 round here. I'll have to hunt for an ookie.

[4.3LXJ]

Since I have a turdy five still, and hanging together I thought about doing a full brake swap. The bolt pattern on the plate is the same for the 35 and 44. I was wondering if the 44A might be the same too. Just a thought. But if it turns out to be an easy swap, it would be good for many XJs. And I suppose with a little creative drilling maybe the 8.25

[NeverSmashaPaul]

I'll have to ask a friend. I have plenty with WJs.

Problem solved. I will gallantly offer my Jeep as the subject of this video. I know, it's pretty big of me to do this, but I'm extremely humble :smiley-taunt002: :smiley-taunt002: :smiley-taunt002:

I think we had a local volunteer as tribute already, but if you can swing the drive from Texas I sure we could make it happen! rofl

[4.3LXJ]

Just crawled under the WJ. The bolt pattern is rotated 90° from earlier Dana patterns. But I will investigate sometime in the future to see if it can be done easily. I think it would be an awesome upgrade to have balanced updated brakes

[NeverSmashaPaul]

Another video. This is nothing informative, but simply a recap of sorts of the Uwharrie National Forrest OHV Jamboree in North Carolina. Enjoy.
