This video inspired me to start an xj overland build 3 years ago taking it on its mayden voyage today for a 4 day trip to near stone mountain. Had to pay respects to this man and his amazing build once more just to say thanks.

It's awesome to see an XJ getting some good love and not just beat to shit.

Buddy, Thanks for everything. I’m a Moderator on the Facebook group “XJ Preservation Society.” Your build has inspired a lot of people with similar goals. I own a ‘99 and just shook hands on a ‘96 last night. Thanks again.

I’ve seen lots of builds on KZfaq and in person and I’d say this is one of the more practical and thoughtful builds yet. Just enough and not too much. I love the way you kept the original character of the Jeep virtually intact. Such a classic vehicle who’s style will never fade. Great job.

"I do not litter" *likes*

The quality of video this is. Tons of work put into the videography

videos like this inspire me to build my 1994 YJ into at least a light overland vehicle

All that weight and you get 19-20mpg??? You are now officially my hero.

This is my absolute dream build. Holy wow is it gorgeous. Well done.

This is incredible! First overlanding video I’ve seen and this is just absolutely amazing!!!!!

Right on.. just beginning to transform my 99 jeep cherokee classic into an overland dream ..

I have 94 also and have a rock crawler mod done to it. I love the unit. i go up to the Rockies and across country to Iowa and Wisconsin. Thank you for the inspiration. You have a great 94.

Smart build nothing not needed and nothing over kill,and anyone could copy this build for less that 10k

Folks like you make a person shout "God bless America"! Fantastic.

You sir are a big part of the reason i decided an xj will be my first 4x4

The best part of this is that the drawer fridge cost more than the original purchase of the Jeep itself! Obviously tons of upgrades that make this an incredible vehicle.

This is a great build. Not these overpriced under utilized build we see these days.

Awesome, gave me some gr8 ideas for my 2000 XJ 2 door. Thank you.

Best I’ve ever seen! Most thoughtful! The James Bond of overlanding!!

I admire the honest simplicity of the build, it's great that instead of decking it out with light bars, grill guards and alloy rims he paid attention to what really mattered. better cooling, gearing, axle lockers and it's also great that it has the manual transmission which is somewhat rare of an XJ. Just the necessities instead of luxuries. I love it.

nice setup lots of great stuff

Awesome simple and affordable set up, nice.

that trailer ball swingaway is genius!

Great build super sweet.

My first car was a 89’ Cherokee limited. Now I have a 2001 Xj 3.5in lifted. Never got stuck, but pulled lots of huge pickups out.. they are just so fun to drive. They’re as skinny on the trail as an ATV, but has 4wd and mine has 18’ clearance. It’s a torque off-road beast!

Very nice build! And the coolest part, 'built, not bought'!

Always love the classic wheels .

Adam! Thank you for your help today. My son Harper and I love the store and the XL storage bag. Hop to catch you soon at an event.

I like the way this guy thinks! Good work! Innovative as hell

Very nice Jeep, well done concept

Nice build! The XJ is an amazing platform...

i know this video is old but damn its still inspiring. ive been piecing together an overland build on my XJ. i would love a shower setup but i want to keep my 2nd row seating. all of my 12v, drawers, induction cooking, fridge, and tools/gear is in the back. 0 inches wasted.... i guess i could put the gear in the seat and put in a modded swappable 5Gal jug

Awesome build. I will use some of those ideas on my XJ. Thanks

Really thoughtful and well-done build! Really takes care of everything and in such a perfect package. That RV shower box is a really standout addition.

very nice build, nothing over the top and done smartly :) from New Zealand

Wow!! Awesome build and great video!! The XJ is certainly one of the best products from Ma MOPAR in a LOOOOONG time!! Wish they still built this model today!!

Cool build, great work!!

Incredible build. Definitely one of the most practical XJ builds I've ever seen and I have a lot of respect for the amount of time it must have taken to do all this plus the ingenuity for all the custom additions like the extra battery, shower, freezer, ect. and it all looks so cleanly done. Truly professional work.

Awesome dude. Very practical. Radiator upgrade!!

That Cherokee is really very thoughtfully built. It does everything you might need, without looking like a monster truck. Nicely done. Did I notice a stick shift? All the better! I drove a 98 Cherokee, rear-wheel drive, stick- shift for years. 'Wish I still had it now.

Awesome setup and rig!

Very nice build up ! I have had 5 XJ;s, but went with a ford van for a full time live in, overland, tour the country vehicle, after 1 trip around it will get a 4x4 conversion. It was a hard decision between the Cherokee and the Ford van but I needed more room to live in. You have a very well thought out home build, not just a spend money buying from a catalog build.

Nice all-around jeep man!

Perfect bug out vehicle dude! Excellent build!

This looks very cool and nice

That is a good life outdoors!

this is FANTASTIC! just bought a 1996 jeep cherokee sport

The ideas here are great, as a Jeep owner for the last 23 years, I can appreciate the custom work that can be done to XJ, WK, and ZJ Jeeps which are very cheap to buy in the UK and maintain if you pick the right ones that have not been abused too much. I run a WK 5.7 HEMI on LPG which gives me the same running costs as a small car.

XJ is the best vehicle there is-- red ones especially.

great XJ. great vehicle. Congratulations

Awesome, wow! Please do some of this to my 99 jeepxj.

Love the build. Nice, clean and simple!

Only thing else I would add is just medical kit. But I'm sure that's what that red bag was on the passenger seat. And a firearm. Everyone has a family and nice vehicles out there best be ready for the unexpected and safe. Good luck out there brother and excellent overview!

Thanks for sharing, so many good tips and tricks!

That is a beauty and a beast!! Great job!

that's a nice clean build you got there man

That’s a great setup well done 👍

Amazing car

Freaking amazing setup my friend . 😮👍👍

I also got a snorkel as accident insurance. I was wheeling just after I finished rebuilding my stroker out on the coast of NC and found out that the 10ft puddle I went into was actually a small lake. I dropped in up to the top of the hood and sucked in water. Scary stuff. I think the only thing you're missing is a chandelier hanging from the tailgate when it's opened. Awesome build. I am subscribed.

See! Now that's well thought out and not overly built crazy!! 100% excellent!

Awesome build! I've been wanting to do this with one of my XJ's for a long time. Thanks for the ideas! Subbed!

Outstanding build! Thanks for sharing. Taking as many of these ideas as I can to use with my TJ.

Great build well thought out

Awesome job, smart build in little place, really Nice work! please more vids off your builds. Have a nice day from France
