I've always loved these older Jeeps. I really feel like the overall body design aged very well. I've been thinking of getting one of these and fully restoring it inside and out.
The only question I Have I why you have not taken off the plastic parts? It easy, you get cleaner paint and hit those plastics with burner before reinstalling - much cleaner job!
Do it man, I’ve had 2 so far and I’m 19. My advise is to buy a stock one. Yes they are more money but they aren’t ran through as bad and you know what’s done to it other than one with work done. Also watch a lot of videos on what to look for and stand clear of 2001 models as they may have the cracked head problem. Just watch Bella videos and you’ll learn in no time
This came out a lot better than I expected honestly! Looks much better than it did before. I might have put some body filler on that hood to even out the pitting, and done some trim restoration work but other than that, visually it's completely unrecognizable from what it was before. Great stuff!
Obviously a huge transformation here. Outstanding work. However I’m screaming at my phone hoping you sand and re-clear the taillights and corner lights to make the red and orange lenses pop with the fresh paint, especially that high-mount brake light. Trim restore on the door handles would have been icing on the cake.
its just amazing what you're able to do on a budget. I can only imagine what your builds are gonna look like if your budget was bigger. But ofc, stick to the budget builds cuz that is what this channel is for. The car community/youtube need more people like you to demonstrate that anybody can have a cool car on a budget and build them for fun!
I totally agree that this channel has set a good example in demonstrating that anyone can make what they got look good on s budget. Having grown up in Puerto Ricos strong car culture I would see this type of examples budget builds all the time. So it's great to see channels like this setting the example of what can be done to those that did not grow up around a good car culture.
They left out the cost of the spraying unit/compressor etc. I’d like to see this up close after 1 New Jersey winter….probably trashed with the super weak coating and lack of legit priming. The salt is gonna eat that thing
People always have something to complain about. For a 250 dollar paint job and new wheels/tires that thing looks amazing. Great job! I’d be happy with that ride with no complaints
My guy - I’m absolutely addicted to your channel. But for the love of god, please always use a mask when you’re using aerosols - as a cancer survivor, I’m worried about your health 🥺.
That Jeep came out so good, I am so impressed at the finished result, it shows that if you put some elbow grease and some time any project can come out looking that good. Great job as always.
I can't finish watching. It looks horrible even on my cellphone screen. Anyone commenting how great this paint job looks must be watching on a dial up fax machine. Maaco would have been a better route to take.
The factory black trim being painted over bugs me for some reason lol. Door panels and rear bumper covers are supposed to be black. I've restored them with heat guns, they do pretty well.
For a paint job done outside I must say it looks amazing. In my late teens my dad had a body shop where he did customizing, chop tops, custom paint jobs flame paint jobs. I loved being around that. For the brief time I got to experience it. I always regretted not pursuing being a painter or a body man. Great job though.
Good stuff. I hope some people aren't expecting close to perfect results on these budget builds because that would require more than a budget..lol You should've taken a wire brush against those drums and hubs. Then paint it black. But man, you still made a good difference for that jeep. God bless you man.
I remember I used to have that Jeep Cherokee, mine was a two-wheel drive into door and you hardly ever see those anymore. I was probably the only guy in town that had one but two doors in two-wheel drive. Unfortunately there are some electrical issues that involve the throttle position sensor and everytime I replaced it, it was never enough and it kept on giving me problems on the road, so I had no choice but to sell it and now I have a pickup truck. Glad the new owners that bought it from me actually did things to it I always wanted to do but could never do. I'm glad they sent me pictures as well as them taking it off road saying thank you.
My guy! Exactly what I was talking about in the last video! 🙌🏼 you crushed that paint and came out super clean. Major props. The whole build is fantastic. Looks nice, simple, and classy, with the most perfect wheel/tire setup 🤌🏼 love these videos and love what you’re doing for people out here man. I have a ton of respect for you because of it. Keep killin it dude, and stay awesome ✊🏼
I love these cheap transformations man! Takes some work, but well worth it. Inspires me to do some projects like this myself. Your vids are great, and thanks for sharing this.👊
You make some great videos. I have watched a few of your vids and am impressed with the transformations you pull off for a pretty minimal price….still can’t believe you got these wheels and tires for $400!!! Anyways good job. You earned another subscriber!
Nice save on that XJ. I had a 98 that looked just like your finished project. Jeep cultists will be fighting over that in your front yard within half an hour if you decide to flip it. But in the alternative; if you dont mind 8-10 miles per gallon and want to drive through the apocalypse then keep it forever. Only thing you really need to worry about it is head gasket leading into the tranny, and the hood/roof paint baking itself off. And the door hinges...lol. Because the XJ platform really takes to DIY wrenching it can be really easy to bolt all sorts of shit on, so i recommend you define a stopping point unless youre already divorced:)
Amazing video and thank you for breaking it down!! Despite the economic downturn, I'm so happy 😊I have been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $7,000 investment every 12days.

Brother didn't even take five minutes to pop the trim off and paint them separately lmao. It doesn't cost anything to take your time and do the job right.
At a proper shop? The paint job alone would be 10k. Mind you, the finish quality and materials would be much better. But for a backyard job, this is amazing and so worth it for the cost.
@@Thezalafamilyclips Hey man you always paint it yourself for less than 10k. I painted my truck with 12 cans of car spray paint, just gotta have the patience that's all.
@@Waveito2 ya if you want single stage. That's not considered an acceptable finish by any accredited body shop. Of course you can go to maco and spend $1000 on a terrible paint job. I was talking about a proper base-clear job on a properly disassembled car.
Ahhh should have shined the trim. Looks amazing regardless but I think some trim restore would have make it pop just that little bit more. Gave the car a brand new life. Well done.
My manual 03 escape could use a makeover like this honestly and for that cheap of a price and the current price of cars I could definitely pull it off. It's been a while since I've done any body work like this since I was a teenager but I think I could knock this out over a weekend hopefully.
This was an exemplary transformation! - However, I can't help but wonder that during the reassembly - it appears as though the headlights were just kinda left hangin' there? Even still - GREAT job on this! 👊
Gained a sub from this! Fantastic work. You should totally do a subscriber makeover once a month or something like this! It’s amazing what paint and new wheels can do! Again, fantastic work!
I always enjoyed the fact that with certain colors and good weather, you can spray outside and take care of it after it’s dried if there’s any imperfections
hi there! Great job you obviously know what your doing I live in the UK I'm thinking of buying one of these jeeps I know you have to be carful there's a lot of rust buckets out there!
Man I wish I could win a car make over. Your making people smile and all so showing people how easy it is to make a car look better with a little money

Square body vehicles always age well. Look at Volvo 240's for instance.

I was thinking the same but he’s the budget king👌
It looks so good. I would never buy another car ever again especially when it’s been restored like this 😂
@@antoniohill4338 trim restoration cost like 10-20 bucks depending how long you want it to last lol those door handles would look brand new

Just check the job "quality" at 4:19, look at the hood, that'll tell you how it looks a 10' paint job.
Still amazed by how paint and wheels can transform the way a car looks. Amazing!!
That day every car in the neighborhood got a new paint job 😂😂
I was just going to say that 😂😂😂
Fr
And the house, and garage. 🤦🏼♂️
Ugh and he did it outside, where the wind could pick up and blow dust or debris, heck even a stupid bug and wouldve ruined the paint
Oh my god, the bonnet has more craters than the moon, nice use of the cutting tool and a hammer on the front wheel arches! 😮

With the effort you made to remove the lights and paint the whole truck I'm surprised you didn't polish the plastic lights
Crazy just how much a paint job and a new set of tires can do for a car. Awesome stuff!
A love all the special micro blisters and textured marks in the new paint when you look real close. Well worth the effort.
I can't finish watching. It looks horrible even on my cellphone screen. Anyone commenting how great this paint job looks must be watching on a dial up fax machine. Maaco would have been a better route to take.
that colour choice was absolutely perfect and the wheels omg. Incredible!!! I want this car
The XJ is worth restoring and modding, great job
Going for my second one this week
Look how easy that thing is to take apart. I miss those days.
The factory black trim being painted over bugs me for some reason lol. Door panels and rear bumper covers are supposed to be black. I've restored them with heat guns, they do pretty well.
The heat gun method works for a while, then, they'll look worse than they were before.
I am a single 57 year old woman. I have a 2004 jeep cherokee, I would love to do something like this to my jeep. Its beautiful, what you have done.
Would love to see longer videos. I think most people subscribed enjoy this content and would watch for much longer ! Keep up the good work

It's a jeep, not a show vehicle. That was plenty and it looks great. Did the same to my old 99 several years ago.
Impressive!

Thanks for the video. Bought a used Jeep just like this and I’ve been considering a new paint job to spruce her up! It was very informative
Imagine doing all this for yo girl & she still leave 😭
Or she totals it a week later lol
I imagined it lls won’t change nothing do the same for my next girl as well they lost lol next guy won’t be able to do her oil change
Yup, that'll happen.
Hey man, for faded plastic and for faded headlights or anything plastic, use Cerakote ceramic wipes. Best thing ever and all you do is wipe it on.
Considering you did this in a driveway with no booth or enclosure of any kind, looks pretty decent. Definitely an improvement. 👍🏼
