How to Protect your Jeep XJ - OFF ROAD - With Armor Plating!!!

- My Facebook marketplace jeep was lacking front and rear bumpers as well as one upgrade I never thought of some body armor. The new front and rear Rough Country bumpers were a huge upgrade and the armor really made her look good and also adds an extra layer of protection.

I'm watching a guy put a 69 charger body on a Scat Pack. He used to do Nascar bodies. A quick bracket he does to keep things in place, smaller diameter tube in a larger diameter tube. Crimp the ends, slide the tube until its perfect to the needs, tack welds the spot the 2 tubes meet and then tack welds it in place....holds things until a permanent bracket can be made.
Forrest shadow green would be a great color.
The XJ platform is a very impressive little rig. Matt from Matt's Off-road Recovery has shown just what those things can be capable of with a little bit of work!
That Jeep is looking so much better, glad you fixed the steering first though!
The old Jeep is looking a lot better now than when you got it. This Rough Country gear really makes a big difference. Have you thought about sealing the between the armour and the body to prevent dirt and water getting behind it and causing rust over time?
Always interesting to see the mods and improvements you do to stock vehicles.
I was just about to say that
Thanks guys have a blessed day
Yes the Jeep does look a lot better. I am sure that it will drive a lot better too when you get those badly worn tires replaced. If I was closer I would gladly give you a hand when you needed help. 👍
Yeah I ways thinking 17 with 37s
I would put seam sealer around the rivnuts before lining it, apart from that, I think its looking great, way to go!
That jeep is getting crazy! I knew it was in good hands, but it's becoming capable faster than I thought. 🤩
Looks awesome. I just got a 6.5 long arm rough country lift installed on my 2000 XJ.
Looks waaaaay better. Personally I probably would attached the extra body panels with VHB but that's because I hate drilling holes because I don't want water getting in and it rusting
Jeep looks slick now Dave! Can't wait for the other upgrades you have planned!
Yeah it has come a long way
You want a camo that stands out. Pink, grey and black
I love that Jeep
DAVE ! Good morning and thumbs UP!!!
Thanks
Love these builds. Hope to see more content about your XJ! Any rock slider plans?
I’ve been watching your videos for awhile and I thought you looked familiar. I figured out that we live in the same place!
Nice
Rough Country makes a great solution for all of your switches. It’s also custom to the XJ.
Yeah I'll probably end up getting one to sort that out
I have the 6" Rough Country lift with the Vertex coilovers on my 2014 FX4 Tremor, it's pretty bad ass lol
Jeep looks awesome and I feel ya on the solo work 😩
Yeah I like it a lot
I would some cocking around the edge to make sure it it won't get water underneath
You're simply cool 😎👍🏼
Thanks
Looks damn fine Dave , gotta sort that white seal bits out around the rear wheel arches though lol that’s become a nice machine dude 👍 (just a thought and speaking out loud ) I’ve seen a Ford 4x4 done in like a red and grey camouflage design somewhere that looked really nice kinda not supposed to be camouflage but a cool spin on it 👍
Off to HF and get a Badlands winch and to yankum for a rope and soft shackles.
Yeah I need to figure out the winch setup
@@Junkyard_Dave Those Badlands Apex winches are extremely strong and 1/3 the price of a "name brand" winch. I bought just one of the cheapest Badlands 12,000 lb one and it is definitely worth the money. Only downside to the cheapest one is that it is slow but I think that's where it gets its strength from. Whatever you do, don't buy a Warn. The solenoids burn up too quickly on them. I had a guy tell me to quit replacing mine on my work truck with Warn solenoids and put boat motor tilt and trim solenoids instead and it worked out great. They lasted way better and longer than the Warn ones. Just in case you go the Warn route.
What about some rock sliders to protect the underside?
Yeah that will be next
Digital camo 😎
2022 urban camo lol
@@Junkyard_Dave Even Better
What tool did you use to get those rivets in there?
Great
Seal all edges and holes with silicone or seam sealer
Look up the channel Jerry aintloud his xj is done in teal raptor liner it's a good looking color.
Why did you speed up going through the process putting on the body armor panels?
There's a reason the quarters are cut n trimmed
Are you also planning on installing fender flares?
I want to might make some not sure yet
@@Junkyard_Dave Yeah. It just looks a little weird without it.
Hey Dave!!! Where's the Durango? Can you finish a project??!! I know you're working alone but the Magcharger and Durango need to get finished!!
I'm guessing you don't watch the videos
@@Junkyard_Dave I started watching when you started the charger. Every week. I skipped the videos about other cars except the Durango. Last time I saw it you painted it. Then nothing. I like you a lot and think you're super talented but please finish a project. Much respect to you Dave.
@@capedwonder2833 posted a video yesterday
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Paint it w a Rhino bed liner,L👀X Great 🤓🇺🇸👍
the hole you have made for the rivnut are gonna rust
Drill into your car body to protect it🥹. I think this is unnecessary
