Best 4.0L thermostat replacement video on KZfaq, no contest. Unfortunately, the ZJ belt makes it harder than the XJs, but everything else is the same.

As usual great video content and great attitude there young man. And, Brian, we know you got here because of a great family supporting you. And on top of all that we get to see great BFATE of you going down hill and then going back up for another try downhill again. Good Ski Viking this time I guess we'll get more Sky Viking on your next production - toot your horns of plenty.

I have a 1997 Jeep Cherokee, I believe I’m the second owner and it’s at 280,000 miles and it’s still running pretty good. 🙃Regarding your license plate are you considering having one from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 we are not a state but we are territory of America and we are Americans... let me know... thank you for your videos.

I just did mine the other day on my Cherokee. Another tip is make sure you torque it down correctly! I cannot recall the torque but it's somewhere around 17ft/lb. Alternate tightening of the two bolts or else you will crack the waterneck.

Hey. Thanks for the video. I actually saw this video some time ago and somehow remembered that someone somewhere at some point ..... had said to drill a little hole in the top of the thermostat if the new one doesn't have a hole. I just said "a hole " in reference to a gas hole. Anyway, it worked in my 4.0 xj recently and I happened to just stumble upon the video at HEY, it was You. Thanks for real. I also just got my antique forever licence plate (1998 model) so Ii have a Mississippi tag for you! Where do I send it (if you still want one)

Hey Brian. Got a (possible) challenge for you'all. Check your buddy's 2000 Jeep XJ 4.0 cuz he might have what appears to be a minor rear main seal leak (most 4.0's do), but in fact it could be coming from the oil filter adapter "o" rings. Fun part? I believe on '97-'01 XJ's, Jeep used a T60 torx bolt to secure the adapter to the engine block and the passenger side motor mount is in the way. So if you know of, or can figure out a Tip & Trick, that'd be awesome! Great videos btw - thanks!

Did you ever figure out what to do to get to get the oil filter adapter out with the T60 torx?
