Drivetrain Upgrade For A Jeep Cherokee XJ Desert Racer - Xtreme Off Road S3, E9

Ian and Jessi continue in part II to take their '95 Jeep Cherokee XJ and transform it into a spec class Baja racer. These buggies run Best in the Desert, and SCORE competitions. New rear end... GPS gauges, off road lights, everything you need to head into the desert. Also, a look into the Pro Truck class and the Steve Staats family of racing siblings.

[@danf4616]

Don't remember him helping Ian. Must have missed those shows. Go Tommy! 😁

[@swampcritterisbackbaby1740]

Looks like he just got out of HS Auto Shop class.

[@VanBeekumGarage]

That xj gonna overheat like a mither with those lights

[@khimsophacarfixing]

This truck is really strong 💪.I like it too much!

[@HeathKentucky]

Mannnn I got a 92 cherokee Laredo sitting in my driveway waiting for some of these upgrades. 134k miles and still runs like a top

[@HmmWelp]

Where on earth did you find one with that low of mileage lol, your jeep is 200k away from being broken in haha

[@HeathKentucky]

Wife bought it about 10 years ago from a coworker. The coworker bought it for her daughter and the daughter said that it was ugly and not good enough so coworker sold to wife for 1500 and wife drove it for a few years until we got her a newer jeep and it's been parked for about 4 years just goin out to start it and drive around the property every once and while. Very little rust and it's a white Laredo solid truck for 1500

[@HmmWelp]

@@HeathKentucky yrah that sounds like an absolute steal, low miles in good condition, got it for 500 more than i got my beat to shit XJ, I'm a bit envious lol

[@HeathKentucky]

@@HmmWelp thanks to a ungrateful teenager lmao now just need to get started working on it which is harder than anything getting time off work

[@HmmWelp]

@@HeathKentucky i mean, start with the easy stuff, get 12 hole fuel injectors, 99 dakota steering box, etc. Then once all that is done work on the fun upgrades like this, most everything else is bolt on.

[@stephhaug3316]

More, please

[@davidphillips3180]

Made it look easy ...great job

[@manfredolson6889]

I was wondering if the front was a Dana 30. Why not get a bigger axle with the bigger rear?

[@MileytheJeepV2]

[@elg1514]

[@thecman26]

Hippy Tommy

[@patmcbride9853]

Silent Bob version.

[@GenderSkins]

You forgot the front skid plate. As you will most likely want one installed, to protect your engine.

[@amandaschuch2372]

Anyone ever her about the XJ ian built for an army vet that the cage failed on a soft flop? And I have a 99 2 door with 31k original miles

[@lowbudgetbob1155]

[@shinymud7]
