Thumbs up if you believe the Cherokee XJ is the ultimate combination of toughness and practicality!

Love the simplicity of hood spacers, but there is too much fear of getting in a head on and final destinationing myself.

All good ideas. What I did on my 96 was to install a gauge cluster from a 94 or a 95 along with new sending units for oil pressure and temperature. I took the speedometer dial out of my old one and put it into the other one to maintain my odometer. Works great for the liftgate area, I installed a rocker switch in the dome, light housing with a separate wire for the auxiliary light.

Great little details to consider.
Personally, I love trucks and offroad vehicles. And every single truck, Van or SUV I get goes through this simple yet very noticeable mods:

Off-Road and auxiliary exterior lights (auxiliary grille spots to assist the high beams, Fog lights if it doesn't have them, ditch lights, roof mounted Light bar and auxiliary reverse pods).

Interior and work lighting (led light bulb replacements for the dome lights, feet lights, extra cargo lights, under the hood and in the tailgate).

Big All terrain tires

Magnetic phone mount

Audio upgrade

Roof Rack and tow hitch.

If you are building your vehicle, I recomend you to wait on the tires until you are ready to get a lift (I would always go for a 3" lift as a minimum just to make it worth it) and then shop for the biggest tires you can fit there.

If your vehicle allows you to do it easily (or if you are willing to do it anyways) I would also advice to get steel bumpers. Personally, I would never go for something under 3/16" thick and I would rather get a 1/4" thick plate there if the vehicle is large and powerfull enough (full size wont even notice it, but mid size can struggle with all the added weight of the bumpers, tires, roof rack, gear, people, etc).

And plan for it. Make a wishlist of all you want and do it right once instead of going back to clean up a mess because you did it half way. Get plug conectors on ypur power lines for electric gear, make sure you can bolt things and unbolt them anytime, trim if needed, but make sure you have it all well done. Add all the switches ypu will need for the total build in thw place you want them and just add the gear little by little

Ive had two different 1992 jeep xjs that were mild trail rigs.long story short went through some hard times, finally back on my feet and slowly fixing up my 2000 Right hand drive XJ 4x4...its a work in progress but solid n no rust, just high miles!! Keep up the good work, enjoyed the tips!

I did the speaks in the hatch, junkyard, 5 3/4, found some grills. Then added an LED dome light mounted inside the middle of the speakers, flush. wired direct to battery.
The light and speakers back there are great for the drive-in movies and camping, etc.

All great mods. Just installed my rear glass light bar on my JKU and I love it!

[Longbow]

Really like the hood spacer idea. Can't believe I hadn't seen it before.

Great video, picking up my Phase 1 in the UK in a couple of weeks and am seeing what others have done to improve the whole experience in these - thanks

[jeepxjguy]

Man ! . . .. . That Forest Green Pearl is so gorgeous! Reminds me of my brand new special ordered 99 Forest Green 2Door Up Country. My first new car. Polish that out and I promise you will love it even more. Good stuff. Keep it up. Thanks.

Excellent video series on the xj, especially since its a renix ! Everybody online is building the 96 or newer xjs so its nice to see some old school stuff . I am probably partial because I have a 90. Love the stock look with the flares and modded front bumper and not the goofy hacked up look i see all over . Keep the build and updates going 👍🏻.

[XJ_MM]

Great video, I’ll be trying them out soon, once I get some time! Thanks for sharing.

[NajarOffroad]

Nice! I really like the 12V mod in the rear💪

[JosephOfJbird]

Instead of hood spacers, install a timed relay wired to your electric fan. Being able to have 3 minutes of fan at the push of a button after killing the engine is a godsend for the common xj heatsink issue!

[offroadmowers]

I laughed at the hood riser mod. The weather stripping is there for a reason bro

[stephenhajovsky]

Great video! Lots of awesome modifications! Thanks for showing them. Jeep looks great!

I’m 23 I have a 2 door 98 xj and a 4 door 2000. Currently drive the 2 door restoring both. I’ve had 3 so far. Next thing I wanna buy is a factory 5 DIY car

[MrSamuelLewis]

Looking good, nice call on the temp gauge. Now a fuel filter 😂

[Crypto-Files]

great mods, great video . very well explained and the xj you have is looking nice and clean. awesome man!

[stevend]

I've been pricing xj's on market place they want crazy money for beat up crap I would like to get one for a winter project. I like the mods especially the power to the back 👍👍👍👍🍻🍻🍻
