- I was Finally able to put together a video to officially show UA-cam my 2000 Jeep Cherokee XJ. This Jeep embodies my ambition to create an XJ that could roll off the assembly line in the present day. This Cherokee has most of my favorite custom 1 off XJ mods that I have developed over a decade time of owning Cherokees. Hope you enjoy!

Back when jeeps were build to last. That 4.0 is bulletproof
Hell yeah!
human People are always asking for like 4K for their cherokees with 200k+ miles
Tomowenazin because they’re worth it. You can find them rebuilt and ready to install for less than 1k if you need one. They’re plentiful like a GM 350 but actually last once installed.
One of the few vehicles where the drivetrain almost always outlives the rust issues lol
Mine blew up at 152k. Shot at least 2 rods and had 3 holes in the block and 2 in the oil pan. I'm assuming the owner before me didnt take good care of the motor, but I put in a high output engine with 120k miles and it runs beautifully.
Hi Dan I forgot to ask. If you were to do it again would you go the sand blasting route? Asking for a friend... I probably have a bit more rust than you at least 1 floor pan replacement and a patch job on a frame rail in the rear where the tow hitch attached to pass side. I've always imagined attacking the rest with flap disc but if sand is easier then I'm thinking of giving it a shot.
Sean.. It was brutal... I was covered with sand... in my eyes, ears, nose, even though I was completely sealed up. I did use a flap disk and wire wheel where I could, but some spots were easier reached with the blasting. Hope this helps your decision.
@@ProjectDanH Yeah It's going to happen methinks... Since I want to do the POR15 under there as well. I think I'm going to attack everything except the trans tunnel. Not looking forward to dealing with the front end. I'm going to be doing my research on air compressor size and proper equipment for the job next. Any tips would be appreciated.
@@seanmacdonald8476 definitely get a full faced respiratory and Safety goggles (not glasses). One of those tyvex suits would have been great since your laying under the jeep and all the sand (or whatever medium you choose) falls back onto you. You also should have plenty of nozzles for the gun. I think I went through 5 porcelain nozzles.
How did you manage to make that rear wiper switch? I love it!
Thanks man, Some tiny drills, a little but of glue and a lot of patients.
I drive a 2000 xj.
She's my baby.
Wish I had the time and money to make her this clean.
Excellent work.
Try to clear her up a little bit here and there, your baby is worth it!
That’s a haiku, right?
Love the thing! Only thing I would change is the angry eyes
Already done! LoL
@@Stackali LMAO.. Id say the death of the 4.0, the Grand Cherokees getting an IFS in 2005, and the ugly new "Cherokee" far surpass angry eyes as the worst thing to happen to the Jeep community! HAHA
Agree on the lights, at least it doesn't have one of those artard stinger bumper.
@@chrisfusco1108 LMAO 🤣
Yeah looks kinda lame with the cute lil eyes...
Angry eye delete m8
Done
Super clean. Low pinion front axle, and the eyelids need to go xD lots of hard work in this Jeep. The more I watch the more impressed I am by the work done. You have a strong attention to detail. Very well done. Earned a sub for sure.
I actually already have a high pinion d30 in already. Sorry I wasnt clear on that. So far the angry eyes are voted most hated part! Lol thank you for the sub!
I agree with the headlights
@@firekrueger3987 any recommendations? New lights entirely? Or just ditch the angry eyes?
@@ProjectDanH Keep 'em if YOU like 'em. Builds are personal and you never submit them for committee approval. Great build and it makes me miss my Comanche that was a lot like this XJ.
Your xj is stunning. The attention to detail is beyond most professionals. Its great to see someone give theirs respect instead of just adding a 6in lift and 37" mud tires and letting the rest go.
Wow. Thank you for the kind words. I love to drive it so I kept her drivable 😁. Thank you for appreciating the detail!
Dude you could perform surgery in that thing its so clean! Looks so good, thanks for the video and all the time you spent brining it back to life!
Haha I should change my name to Dr. DanH haha! My pleasure... Thank you!
Really nice jeep and great work.. I love it.. It's inspiring to me!
Thank you! I hope you'll try some of my mods!
your XJ seems to be missing a clutch pedal.
Ahhhh. . Ya got me there.
That is funny! I also much prefer a manual over automatic but sadly mine is an auto.
In this vehicle, I'd much rather have the auto. The stock engine is so powerful and the trans is perfectly matched. The manual would be good for serious off-roading, however. I've owned 4 XJ's and never wished I had a stick. The only XJ I hated was the '86 Laredo with the V6.
in the Uk you couldnt buy a 4.0 on a manual...damn i'd love one..but teh auto is one of the smoothest
@@deadkemper The only manual transmissions I've seen are two door pre '98 XJs. Pretty rare; don't see many anywhere.
Couple days of watching these jeep Cherokee videos and I'm hating the fact that I can't brought that thing in India
maybe you and have one imported!
Got a '92 XJ. Bought it new in '92. Still looks new when I wash it. Never changed anything. Still run wrangler tires on it. 235 instead of 225. Best vehicle ever built IMO.
Wow! That's a great XJ story. I love to hear from their original owners! 🍻
That 4 liter sounds mean, I thought it was a 4.7 v8 when you started the video
Thank you Jason! Sorry, I forgot to mention it in the video. If you notice at 3:15 my exhaust rotted and fell out on my way to work one day. lol. behind the cat I replaced it with a straight pipe and a flow master 40 muffler.
I’m 16 I got a 1999 for my first car and just recently I got in an accident after someone pulled out in front of me and it’s getting totaled. Sad day 😭😭
Keep it, buy it back from the insurance company and use the parts to build another! (Ive done it)
Parts are worth a lot, I need a 1999 8.25 really bad.
For sure.. Keep It, great parts for another build.
Project Dan H that’s what I’m attempting to do
Just curious, where are you from? I just bought a rebuilt white 99. 158k on it. I Love it!!!!
Sweet!!! My 1999 Xj has almost 400,000 miles and is just like new...These Jeep's last forever.
That's excellent news Bob, I'm excited for another 300k more! Thank for watching 👊
How did you manage to add the speakers on the back hatch? I would love to give it a try myself
I cut out the metal in the hatch and replaced it with thin plywood.. I cut speaker holes in the plywood and then ran wires from an amp with the other wires through the boot in the hinge. took a little work and some time but it's worth it
I appreciate the help! Do you got tips on how you cut out the plastic and got the speakers placed even?
@@Lego_SML after I made my wood frame.. I made a template in a piece of cardboard around the speaker to get my hole sized up (some speakers come with a template} then I lined the template up with the plastic exactly where I wanted the speakes to go and cut very carefully through the plastic . Then I put the plastic panel back on the Jeep and traced the hole from the plastic onto the hatch wood.. removed plastic .. cut wood carefully.. boom.. had a perfect hole to insert my 6x9 👍
@@ProjectDanH that made everything make sense thank you so much!
You should make a video on that. It'd be awesome!
Wish mine looked like this other than the lift wheels and tires, would look great with my set up!
No reason why it cant... Go for it brother!
I m from saudi arabia . I have 2 xj 1998 both . sport edition both . white color both . I love them both
Awesome! Thank you so much for watching!!
Imagine what oil money can do to a jeep
@@toddrocks My cousin have three
:)
They won't rust . That's for sure .
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.
wow! an LPG hemi! can you send me pics on ig?
@@ProjectDanH yes of course instagram.com/jeep_wk_5.7_hemi_hydro_blue/
Well Sir !!! Huge congratulations, you designed and created plus restored the most beautiful Jeep XJ on the planet. What an extraordinary dream Jeep. Am literally drooling !!! Jummy!
Thank you very much!
was the arcadia windshield wiper arm a simple swap or was there more behind the scenes work to make it work? bolt on to the xj wiper motor? from the pics im finding of it online it appears to just have a hole where the existing bolt could go through it.
How did you make that speaker/storage box in black beauty. I need something like this. Do you have measurements and or a video on it.
I accidentally threw out my Sketch and I built it before in was on social media. Sorry. It was built around the size of my spare and also the manufacturer recommend air volume size for the subwoofer frequency I was tuning it to. It's very simple but very well planned out. I'll make video soon
Hi!!!
What spoiler dit you put on in your jeep?
"Orvis spoiler"
Beautiful 100%! Angry eyes are not my thing, but it’s not my vehicle. Genial, hermano!
Right on!
Hey this is smithpoint beach on long island. I think I've seen this xj driving around before. I was just out there getting my outer beach permit maybe I'll see you person and you can see my "perfect" rusted xj
Haha. I'm a fan of all XJs. I'd love to see it! Don't be shy, say hi!
Dude when I saw Smith Point I was so surprised! I work there😂😂
That's awesome!! Home town!
Sweet XJ!! My 94 XJ only has 85,815 miles on it. Its super clean but i have been building mine more with off roading in mind. But not to tear it up.
85k on a 94!? Amazing! That's a Time capsule!
Wow that definitely beats mine on mileage! Mine is a 1991 limited white and has 167k on it but it runs like it has 12k on it!
I live in Armenia. We have this car in very good condition. We can say that only we have 1998 numbers in Armenia. If we sell, will they give $20,000?
Wow
@@ProjectDanH in Armenia, only our car is very well kept
@@ProjectDanH car parts are very hard to find here
This XJ blows me away every time dude... just a work of art, really
Thanks brother 👍
My 98 2 door Cherokee only has 55K miles
Holy Crap! Davis Auto sports is gonna be knocking on your door trying to buy that thing! Lol!
It's a clean xj. Good job on building an xj that's perfect to you! It's awesome seeing all the different variations of these machines. For me I've got mine built as a full time rock crawler/trail rig. Under 100k miles, itll out wheel alot of other rigs, and I've only got about 2500 total invested in it.
That's awesome! I'll probably never build a rock crawler because I live on a sand bar... Lol.. But really love how capable they can be and all the variations
Awesome Jeep, XJ Jeeps already look really cool stock, lifted they look even better
Yes they do
@@ProjectDanH I have one for 20 years already, they're not just cool looking Jeeps but awesome in every other way. Now I sold my 95 Wrangler and bought a 2007 Commander, but I'll still be keeping my XJ, he's like part of the family now lol
1. dream car, did an unreal job man 2. Lovin the scotty cranmer hoodie
Thank very much! Scotty is a legend... Coincidentally he inspired and named my UA-cam channel! Lol
Looks Dope. Do the 5.9 have also no real leather?
Thanks! Niners have real leather
I have owned 4 of these and all of them have went over 300K miles with the original engine and transmission. Funny you mention New York because that is where I live. lol The only thing that kills XJ's here is road salt so you put a huge smile on my face saving this one with a nice full sandblasting restoration. She is, the perfect XJ!
Thank you for the kind words Brodie! its a lot of maintenance to make these things last in NY. Glad you enjoyed!!!
You and that black Cherokee are FINE AS HELL ! 🤣
I just bought a 1997 Jeep Cherokee Sport. She has 114,000 miles on her.
Garage kept and runs like a bat outta hell.
She's a Black Beauty too. My plan is to convert it into a mobile hotel room.
I turned 51 last month and I'm a single "Empty Nester" who plans to see the country a little.
I refuse to use hotels at every stop. I also refuse to let the pandemic stop me. I'll just be passin through 🖐🏾
#NewSubscriber
Thank you so much! Welcome to the channel, I appreciate your support! Congrats on your XJ and Best of luck on your adventure! God bless ❤️
Impressive mate goes to show that patients and hard work pays off .
thank you!! very true!
I'm reporting for pornography.
Lmao
Not a fan of the angry eye look, but otherwise great build.
Thanks man! Im not sure anyone likes them! haha. I will omit that feature in the future!
Under 100,000 is barely broke in. I drove one for 15 years and 230,000 miles before I wrecked it. I didn't have many rust issues. I'd kill for a stock 98 just like i had.
Oh man! I'm sorry for your loss! I bet you can still find one for a new build!
This is a beautiful Jeep Cherokee. Great work, you should be proud.😀👍
Thank you Jay
Wow... I have a white 2000 XJ. Definitely saving this vid as an inspiration. I can't do anything about the 180,000 miles though, except for taking damn good care of it.
That said, I don't even want to know how much time and money you spent to do all that.
Labor of Love Bro! lol
I drove a 2000 cherokee classic that still had factory alternator for 11 yrs. Wrist pin on connecting rod finally gave way. 219,000 miles. Had 76000 when I bought it.
Wow you definitely got alot of miles out of it... Thanks for sharing. RIP XJ
Dan, first off freaking love the videos and this xj is probably the cleanest I've seen. Quick question have for found a mod for the rear wiper in the WJ.. mine always sh*ts out. Thanks for the amazing content and keep up the good work. 👍
Thank yo so much!
Is it okay to have a crush on the Jeep 😍
sure is!
Hey Dan beautiful XJ you do really nice work....... When it comes to getting rust in check pour 15 is a beautiful thing I do use it... My primary weapon of choice to stop and slow rust down completely ,,,,, is a product called , fluid film or woolwax,,,,, I got this stuff on the bottom of my WJ rust has come to a screeching halt,,, I'm sure your research it here on UA-cam... Keep up the good videos excellent camera work good content...
Thank you for the recommendations! I appreciate the view and LI definitely does need a drag strip! 💪
Really lives up to the "Black Beauty" name. Its nicely customized with factory functional options and I think thats my favorite part. Definetly a fan of Black Beauty.
Yes, Factory Functional! That's my goal in most mods, to make it look like it was always supposed to be there. It keeps it clean. Thank you for noticing!
Great build! Not the way I would personally go? But nice anyway.
I actually like this XJ jeeps to become true offroaders, so a minimum of 33" all terrain tires for me, a nice lift, more ligts and a roof rack would be the way I go
Right on! I Prefer a stock look for daily driving
Do not think...KNOW this is the best & most classy XJ. Smith Point LI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Erick, much appreciated brother!!! Ill see ya around.
Needs to be a manual 😂😂😂😂for real it's nice xj. I like the old(96 and down) look better tho. But I really do get why most want the 2000s XJ's. Mine is a 4.0 manual 5 speed and unfortunately I'm about to start the process of fixing its problems
Haha, Thanks for the view! I'll Be putting an AX-15 manual trans in my upcoming build. hope you can follow along!
show us how you put the speakers in the liftgate! Ive been thinking about that mod for tailgating
Done! I need to adjust the lift gate release and I've been dreading taking everything apart... Now that I have some inspiration to make a video Ill definitely do it!
Project Dan H looking forward to it!
Nice XJ. On My 200 XJ the rear drive shaft broke and I have just been using the front wheel drive for about 6 months now. QUESTION do you think I am getting abnormal wear on the front wheel drive components from doing this?????
It shouldn't hurt to be in "front wheel drive" but it's probably causing more wear and tear than it normally would. Go grab a drive shaft from the junk yard
Man i love the xj, been driving mine for 19 years
So cool! Are you the original owner?
Screw the haters. Build it your way. However, the Hoonigan knock off logo makes the channel lose a LOT of cred. Just sayin'... I clicked this vid because I wasn't looking and thought it was a Hoonigan thing. Be original. Don't imitate and you'll do much better.
Thanks man. And I never heard of Hoonigan until last week. A subscriber of mine pointed out that I used my H first... They were still using the full word [HOONIGAN] as their logo when I started my channel. Just because they're bigger doesn't mean they were first. ✌️
Definitely nicer xjs like down the road from my house. And I live in ct lol
Ha! Prove it 🤣
Excellent Jeep! Mine is an 00 as well with 132k miles! And nearly all factory! It’s a police edition. If I had your Jeep Id get rid of those wheels and get something smaller and up the lift with bigger 35s... and the cat eyes gotta go! Everything else is sick and I’m really jealous of your interior mods.
Thanks for your honest opinion. I love the police models, Im very familiar with them. Feel free to copy any and all interior mods!!!
98 or 99 is the best year. So it's close, but it's not perfect
I have a 98 high pinion front end... Does that help?
Correct sir!
Goddamnit man. They’re fucking wheels not rims 😂 let’s normalize calling wheels... WHEELS.
BUT a Very clean build with some personal creature comforts that make it yours. What’s even better is looks like you did it all yourself! Nothing better than that.
Thanks man... rim + tire = wheel. at least that's how I classify em
Nice XJ, but sorry to tell you the 2000-2001 XJ's have the faulty 0331 cylinder head that was known for overheating and catastrophic failure. That said, best years were definitely 1998-1999. Those years still had the newer styling with best suspension, gearing, and the reliability XJ's were known for. My personal favorite is the 1999 XJ 2DR 5SPD.
Hell yes brother! Great choice! I'll be ok with a TUPY head!
@@ProjectDanH Absolutely! Great work btw. I'm sure she'll last a long time. Especially, with that low of mileage. ;)
@@Mak-Daddy I hope so! As long I can keep the rust away
Hey Dan H this is one Bad AAAA truck impressed at all the updates it's a 2018 truck now uknowwwww keep it up I been inspired n have a 1997 tsi 5.2 i am updating n you give great content for this build Thanks n God bless u n your Family 🤟👑🤲👌👍💥🎯😭🤡
Thank you for the kind word! Happy and healthy New year. God Bless!
Dang man she’s is a beauty! You should tint those tails...
Thanks man, I think I will!
lmao you couldnt even go properly offroad witht those mods, mismatching materials in the car, how is that the perfect xj ?
Did I mention anything about driving off road???
@@ProjectDanH its a jeep
In 2000 Chrysler tried to hurt the 4.0 by putting thin ring glands and thinner wrist pin bossed, resulting in weak pistons, over rev a few times or get hot once and they are done....fix? Install 96 pistons or buy speed pro with the wide ring lands..... 100s of thousands of the 2000 4.0s have already blown up or are knocking. Not many go much passed 125k While all other years of the 4.0 are still happy at the 300k mark.. Just something Chrysler wanted to do so as to justify deleting the best engine ever made....
Wow. I didn't know that. Thats messed up.
Doing the same thing to my Astro van it's been a challenge but it's great van
Awesome! any rust issues?
Jeep Cherokee el mejor 4X4 del mundo, yo tuve un Comanche 88 y una cherokee 90 hice con ellos cosas increíbles, con la Comanche rodé 1.154.000 KMS y con la Cherokee 684.000 KMS en este momento estoy negociando una comanche año 90 para uso campo agricola todos mis vehículos, también tuve un CJ5 año 80 y Jeep Wrangler 88, para los vehículos jeep son los mejores vehículos del mundo en el segmento 4X4 estoy en Venezuela, Técnico Agricola
jeep vehicles they are the best vehicles in the world indeed!
At first I blew it off when I read “perfect” ...then I watched..and realized I think this is the route I wanna go with my XJ build. Looks are somewhat conservative, but the build itself is extremely detailed. For that, I love it!
Thanks Justin! I kept it simple and clean! Although it looks stock there's lots of mods hidden inside. Thanks for watching!
Yea WJ are prob the best bang for the buck and look really nice and timeless itself. However the XJ is like the 90s BWM 3 series. Just a classic frame shape thats so iconic.
2012 Dodge Challenger rims show up as 5x115 and the XJs are 5x114.3 did the rims still fit ? And also I was wondering what ture size are on the challenger rims
they are a direct bolt on, 265 60 r18
Idk dawg I really like the angry headlights. I'm gonna get that for myself :)
Thanks man. I need a better way to keep em on.. the paint always chips off the glass
I did the same wiper switch light mod. Strange they have the socket for bulb with a blank in it.. best easy change in my opinion. Well besides the ext. idle. That’s the stuff in hot climate! I lucked out and got an XJ with ABS and full time. Sold it 4 years ago and miss it every day.
Awe man. sounded like a great Jeep. sorry you sold it 🍻
The best XJ I’ve ever seen! 😍
Thank you!!
And if you want to get more power out of that engine you can swap crank shaft . You will have to get crank shaft from 4.2amc engine and the best part about that swap it fits with out any pain in the ass to your 4.0 connecting rods and block . If you do that you will get 300+ h.p. striker which will make your car run really quick and for sure you will need limited slip diff for rear axle because without it this thing will not have enough traction to utilize that power. But as is you have done very nice and clean job. Another thing I would recommend to install polyurethane trac bar bushing it will make huge difference in the way car responds to stirring wheel movement. It will feel mare like a spot car rather than a truck. Also what is that extended idle button does if you could enlighten me on that just curious if I should do it on mine 2001 xj.
Thanks for the tips! I would love a 4.7 stroker in my next XJ build! The extended idle button was only on police model XJs. It grounds pin 12 in the PCM bumping idle up from 800 to 1000 rpms while in neutral and park. it allows for more water flow in the water pump and better charging on the alternator. great for winching and running accessories!
Just need to pull that factory 0331 head out of there.
As soon as it goes I have a TUPY waiting 😁
TUPY?
7120 is the best stock head AFAIK. The eldebrock is better, but that's serious money.
@@comancheclub3449 7120 does not directly bolt on to the 2000 and 2001. The 0331 has different exhaust ports and mounts for the coil packs. In 2002-2004 TJs and WJs got a better version of the 0331 made by a foundry in Brazil. This improved 0331 was stamped TUPY right under the oil cap. They're considered the best and easiest solution to the crappy 0331
@@ProjectDanH
Really? I did not know this. I was under the impression that all 4.0 heads were compatible with all 4.0 blocks.
@@comancheclub3449 I can use a 7120, I'd just have to mod the ports a bit and machine the coil pack mounts.
This is a super clean jeep. I'm rocking an '88 xj that I want to restore, I'm preparing to put a new motor in it now, I also have the 3" rough country lift and 31's on 16" factory Rubicon rims.
that sounds like a great project! best of luck!
Like good jeep xj like sinaloa
👍
Any chance you could provide the dimensions on the box and storage space you have in your trunk please ???? I’d really appreciate
I’m driving an 01 Cherokee and I’d like to make a similar one without shattering my windows 😅
lol! Yes! I will make a video about the box. I've had a lot of requests so it's coming. 👍
I'll bet that thing really pops at your pride parades!
😂
It should be named The black widow!!! The only change I would make, limo tint all the windows!! Otherwise, badass Jeep right there my friend...
thanks. bro! I agree with more tint
That XJ has never seen mud in its life.
... and it won't! 😁
I just found a 2001 in great shape. With 75k miles. I'm in process of redoing it. The interior was like new accept headliner fell first time I put windows down
wow! that's a score!! congrats
Been driving a '99XJ since '02. Ive put 145K on it in the North Maine Woods, logging roads, no roads, etc. This isnt my style but to each their own.
I love a good XJ story, thanks for sharing 👍 this XJ us built for mostly paved main roads and high ways. Thanks for watching!
nice work. these US cars are like corollas and honda over there, i mean you can find parts dirt cheap, am assuming but in other countries like Dubai it could be very expensive for example the engine, transmission,etc but for a ls400 v8 or nissan altima 4-inline engine is pretty cheap to get.
i like the back beauty she is a beauty
Thank you so much, i definitely appreciate you watching! 💪
I picked up a 2000 Cherokee sport a few years ago. Also black 125,000. I had owned one new back when and I always missed her. Your jeep looks sweet for sure.
awesome Gregory. thank you and thanks for watching
I love you man I hate that in my area it’s so hard to find anybody interested in working in their own vehicles, I just inherited a jeep Cherokee XJ 99 and I’ve been doing a lot of work on it should check out my stuff hit me up if you want links
Send me links bro! happy Jeeping!
I found mine with 280k miles but not a spec of rust anywhere. Even the leaf spring bolts and rear shocks and rear but strip bolts broke free without snapping off. But it had brush on rustoleum house paint all over it lol
🤣🤣🤣Cant win em all!!!
Very nice . I like how you kept it nearly stock but rims could use higher profile tires. Something like ???/75/17 or 18
Thank you!
Fucking love the XJ. Jeep will not reproduce this vehicle because it is to damn reliable. I have two of these vehicles and loved them both. Fuck Chrysler for discontinuing these vehicles
Agreed. That's why I try to keep this baby like new!
I still drive my 95 has 200k on it now but best part...5spd...this overhaul is what the 95 needs..looking good
thanks brother. 5 spds are tits💪
Absolutely stunning! the black on black is gorgeous. My favorite Jeep and really miss mine!
Thanks Eric!
Nice job, I love the Cherokee. But how old are you? 'Angry eyed' headlights?... Come on man!!
LMAO, how old is this video??? c'mon man!
My wife has a 92 with 150,000. And is a daily driver she goes everywhere with it never has broke down does not burn oil still drives and handles like a new Jeep
I love it! Keep that baby forever! ... and the XJ too LOL =)
Can you make a video on installing the 2014 gmc acadia wiper arm? and where did you source the orvis spoiler?
Yes, I actually just bought a new Acadia wiper arm! 2011, eBay Germany
Super clean! Good work. You mentioned using a 2014 Acadia rear wiper. Did you use the Acadia motor as well?
thanks Tony. nope. just bolted on
Beautiful! I have a 96 Xj and was wondering where I can buy a honeycomb utility light like yours.
Thanks man! Check amazon... for maximum utility brightness 😁
hello Dan
i saw your black XJ you have replaced the steering wheel with ZJ steering but there is no vedio for that how you work on it. please if there vedio send to me the link.
thanks dan
I will make a video soon 💪
Hi when you talk about the rust what is it exactly what you are talking about because I have some rust and I want to take care of it?😇🤙🏽
The crumbly orange/brown stuff that used to steel. grind it off and pant it!
Hi i want to buy a xj but it's not good as fuel economy, so i'm thinking of swaping the engine to a 22r-e or 3s-ge engine
NO! Keep the 4.0, best motor ever made
Should have come to FLA and picked one up. No rust no winters. Cars down here die with perfect complections.....
Oh man.. I could Imagine how sweet they must be. I got my 2door from GA and it's immaculate underneath. I also got a 2000 XJ for my brother from TN and that was completely rust free too
I have an xj like yours I would like to know how many inches you lifted it and what size is the wheels are, I would appreciate your answer
Thanks brother I really appreciate it.. All the specs are in the video!
