  • Video compilation of pictures & clips taken while building the XJ Jeep Cherokee Trailer. Took about 1 year of free time. Still working on details and accessories - just like a real modded Jeep. I am not a mechanic or bodywork/fabrication professional - nor do I claim to be even close. Just learned a few things from my father while patching together my crap cars & taught myself the rest.

    At first I thought it was stupid using the doors like that but then I see what you ended up doing and I love it!! Good job! Looks sick!!

    When I saw the thumbnail I thought this was gonna be dumb but after watching I realized that this is the coolest trailer I've ever seen.

    Holy hell! The way this vid started, I was thinking "this is going to be crap." Then I kept watching and it got better and better. This is incredible!

    Nothing like bringing a video back from the dead :), but i remember seeing this on NAXJA. I’m finally getting around to doing something similar but for sleeping.

    I was a little skeptical at first, but at the end...I must say, I'm very impressed!! Good job man!! I can tell a lot of blood, sweat, and tears went into that rig. Sweet XJ too! I'm wanting to build an XJ just like it.

    Hook up a generator/ alternator to the drive output on that axle and charge a deep cycle setup for inverters.

    I know it's not a rocket ship, but that took some pretty good vision, good old fashion talent, and a lot of clock. That's a great accessory, and there are still so many more possibilities for tweaking. *Good job!*

    VERY VERY NICE!!! Would love to see footage of it offroading behind you. While building something like this is challenging and it easily keeps you on task, its the final walk-a-round that brings out the feelings of accomplishment and pride in a job well done. Theres nothing like standing back and seeing the culmination of your ideas brought to life with your skills

    Hey thanks, for posting your hard work on the net. I enjoyed watching the stages and transformation of your project. I started my own version of a XJ camp trailer. I have been working on mine for about 6 months I am doing a few things a little diff. but the concept is very similar. I am impressed with your work. I have a lot of body and paint experience (schooling and several restorations but did not work in the field) I am so glad I ran across this as I am in a phase where some of your photos make it clear of what I will need to do next. One thing I would do for off road proposes is fab your tongue to except a Max Coupler Hitch. as short as you have your you will be able to take your on some pretty gnarly trails. Great Job!

    • @marktexidor8911
      @marktexidor8911 6 років тому +1

      Agreed - A great concept. I have a second XJ Cherokee as a donor for parts which would be perfect for this conversion but I'd want to keep the main cab intact too, just get rid of the engine/gearbox etc and all that weight within the bulkhead/dash and front suspension. Rather than have a bug-out sleep tent mounted on a roof-rack, the trailer idea as a towed camper would work better for me. Would have to address the weight distribution issue though. Early days.

    using doors to make the front end turned out to be a pretty good idea , i have been looking intoo trailers using the back half of a stationwagon but i was considering using a rear tailgate for the front , this might be a better idea spacewize and its a little more aerodynamic

  • @feellnfroggy
    @feellnfroggy 8 років тому +9

    Put a hitch receiver on the back of your XJ trailer, and you can pull a small boat or 4 wheeler on a second trailer. ( I would just add electric brakes for safety. :-)
