I'm Going To Build A Squatted Jeep Xj For Clout! Step One: It Has To Run!

Just an idea on my board of ideas. I assure you that squatted/stanced stuff is not in my liking, but I want to build a jeep just for the fun of it. Got plenty of ideas for the build but it has to run and drive first. Like I say in the video, this jeep was going to scrap if not for me. It would never made a nice jeep anyways but I will make it look better!! Enjoy sloppy mechanics!!

[@MajorWeakness]

I would love to see an episode where u build a 4.0 with the absolute cheapest ebay parts u can find and see how durable it will be

[@dexjs]

I love these ideas!!!

[@jaaxxone]

Hell, the only thing I pay for OEM is the damn crank sensors. Otherwise I'm down there every 6 months!

[@matthomas5645]

Probably used to pull that Jeep behind an RV. Hence the hitch in the front

[@soundboydesign1373]

..."just not participating..."...best line ever! I use it all the time! Big up, lol

[@jeremyhanna3852]

We aver going to get a update on the commache with lifter and cyclinder pressure problems

[@dexjs]

Wednesday. Depressing…

[@OhWizzer]

The point you made about you showing people tools and tips is so true. But i appreciate it. im young, and I always love learning tips from people who clearly have loads of experience on a specific platform 😂

[@edwarddavis507]

The front hitch receptacle is used for mounting an accessory like wench or fishing rack.

[@KPaul7]

I for one appreciate the tips and tricks. I have worked on all kinds of vehicles but never a jeep. Just never had to. Thank you for another mechanic video 💛

[@jeremyhanna3852]

Dex I deal with critters in my cars in the bush row when I bring them in to work on them I like to give the car a firecracker test by the shop door before I pull it in open hood doors and trunk and toss a kracker in each compartment then wait few a mins see if anybody comes out think swat team with flash bangs type of idea

[@dexjs]

That’s forsure and idea to keep in mind!! Cheap too.

[@fastinradfordable]

Hey DEX- I’m a lifetime mechanic Thanks for sharing the good vibes you’re awesome

[@dexjs]

Appreciate it!!

[@trail-wolf4x4]

You should make it with the horrible squat lift but have like some stock wheels on the rear and 35s up front

[@DB-yj3qc]

Why the fuel tank skid is missing bolts is probably the factory hitch was removed. My SWAG. The factory one on some is really heavy duty. My 90XJ had one rated for double what the Jeep was with 7 pin trailer plug.

[@Cammed.escalade]

4”lift in the front with the front and rear fender trim on stocks and 33s or even a nice set of 22x14s or even 24x14s

[@roosruud10]

Can you please show us more full episode offroading thanks

[@dexjs]

I’m trying. All my friends quit off roading soon as I started a KZbin channel.

[@paulwatts905]

As an xj owner i wish your workshop was nearby. Thanks for sharing Paul (UK)

[@Dmowery5036]

This is gonna be a hilarious build. 🤣🤣. I don’t like the squatted stuff but this will be fun

[@davidtwa6265]

Should do a complete restoration of a very ruff jeep to show your subs how to fix all their junkers

[@deadspeed6679]

I wish you had a website im trying to find a 95 center console everything in cali is sun rotting and people are asses when pulling parts

[@nathanmccumber8965]

I'll keep eye out next time I am at junk yard.

[@jamestaylor1078]

I need a 2002 WJ limited driver's door panel. Black with the dark wood trim

[@zbrown362]

I have never been interested in jeeps till I started watching your channel this weekend 😊 you must just have headgaskets and new overhaul parts just sitting on the shelf with as many 4.0 you work on it’s crazy how quick you can have a head off one. Good work keep up the good content!!

[@dexjs]

Order head gaskets in bulk 😂

[@PostmodernCromagnon]

Dex, you should build one with one part from all of them.

[@dexjs]

I see. Be tricky tho.

[@PostmodernCromagnon]

@justdexit only 700+ parts!

[@beckybird5367]

Can't wait to see it lowered and what you do with it. Happy New Year.

[@Ruckusism]

Keep saving those jeeps dex.

[@Dmowery5036]

You can almost see shadows with that headlight. 😂🤣

[@petersonspecial]

Every part of me wants to be like... OH HELL NO!!😮‍💨 But then again it's you so lets see this thing, bring on the haters 😂

[@fightdhr8866]

What’s the story on the jeep truck? Have you posted a video on the resolution?

[@chrismitchell3005]

Love your channel

[@hippiemiller]

It is official I will watch you do anything because I have 0 and I mean absolutely 0 interest in a squatted anything and I watched till the end and ready for the next video good job 👍👍

[@dexjs]

Thank goodness man. It’s all a joke. Just enjoy!!

[@shaneshonda]

Use hit soapy water to clean up metal shavings off the cylinder walls. Way better than brake cleaner and cheaper

[@TrailswithChad]

Can’t wait for the squat lol

[@danhambrick6331]

Sure wish you would get back on the 5.0 L Stroker build.....

[@minegun3]

what about putting a bigger standard radiator setup in the front, for people who want better cooling but cant stick a bigger one in the rear.

[@chrismitchell3005]

I want the skid plate please!!!!!!!

Love your videos man keep up the great work just from your first videos ever to now it’s a major improvement for the better and the quality of them is better also. I can be one to say I’ve been here since the start when you get famous lol.

[@rustypotatos]

[@DavidM09]

[@dustinadams7003]

Just saw your video about the jeep thing. Pleepin jeep has a page using jeep

[@Dusty_K]

I had a 98 xj to shatter number 1 piston and the wrist pin and rod was hanging out through the water pump

[@jonlyons3376]

Thus is gunna b hilarious

[@Tpbmods]

Happy New years Dex! Super pumped for 2024 my dude!

[@LittleMikeStarCraft]

Xj's always fire right up.. ;) They just don't stay running, or over heat in 60 seconds. Haha!

[@stormyyoung6344]

Cool video thanks for sharing

[@98xj64]

Hitch in the front is also used at boat docks😅

[@jeffawake4669]

How much does the cat make at your brother's machine shop? 😅😅

[@jamesherald5050]

Happy New Years. Let’s see how low you will drop this jeep

[@Soleimpala77754]

I'm gonna go ahead and let you know that front drive will not agree lol

[@garyonnen7634]

if your having fun, were having fun.

[@ChrisFreeMan8]

Dex is it possible to put a 4.0l in a 4.7l limited? just wondering if the wire harness would work?

[@saragunby3562]

Hey I need the gas tank skid plate!

[@burleism5158]

14:29 Boss choice of music.... jus sayin

[@DependableAutoTruck]

i have one of the older ones only has 2 points doesn't work great where did you find one with 3 points i would like to get one

[@2123duckhunter]

Bro I NEED that skid plate please 🙏🏻

[@MrCornbread108]

I know what’s wrong with it….aint got no gas in it!!! 😂

[@brysonshires9742]

My 4.0 wj has always made some sort of electrical buzzing type noise before it builds oil pressure. This morning it's doing it constantly more or less in your experience how screwed am i

[@rustypotatos]

Those gas tanks don’t have baffles?

[@rudybishop9089]

That Jimmy Dixx who sold you the Jeep said “I just run it in a ditch and parked it” - I don’t like Jeep owners that lie - where is he ?

[@fadoola1636]

Can I get a personal towering on your hJeep milking Farm ?

[@garylamb4777]

Dex question is xj 4wheel drive rear axle have the same gears as a 2wd ? Thanks in advance. Keep them videos coming. Look forward every time

[@hippiemiller]

No

[@dexjs]

Yeah 2/4wd makes no difference in gears. Just engine/transmission is what they picked gears for.

[@stephenpeterson1397]

What does the radio sound like

[@cablenowadays6586]

How do i get parts from you? I’ve been looking for 97-98 jeep XJ left steering wheel cruise control for a couple months and can’t get one. I’ve tried ebay and everyone is selling later model years

[@fastinradfordable]

Maybe try junkyards.

[@daltondavis0668]

Maaaaaan. Bad gas, old gas, whatever. It all stinks so terribly bad and for sure stays in the shop for days.

[@Mattmazz77]

Where are you located?

[@MechanicalMafioso]

Couple rainbow 🌈 flags on the back windows and it’ll be perfect after it’s squatted.

[@rustypotatos]

Hahahahha

[@burleism5158]

dont come driven up our holler...

[@andrewshuart4901]

I know it’s a long shot but you should call this jeep the hack job

[@rustypotatos]

35:38 lmao ya wtf

[@ogxxswiss]

Is there anyway I can email you ? I’m trying to learn more stuff about my Jeep but have questions my number 2 injector grounded out and all the other ones work fine I replaced all plugs but I found out it’s my pcm I got a used pcm it’s makes them all work again but now I’m having problems with security system Jeep only runs for 5 seconds then shuts off anyway to bypass skim or whatever it is called

[@cchevyboy]

@ogxxswiss did ya try grounding security out? What yr jeep

[@ogxxswiss]

@@cchevyboy it’s a 2001 Jeep Cherokee limited

[@p-m-pDrainTheSwamp2024]

Man's just full of tricks...

[@sony8331]

Building a squatted xj as a joke but let’s rebuild the engine first

[@bullislandborn]

Just leave the exhaust like it is, it sounds exactly like those clapped out sh!tbox squat trucks already.

[@Woahitsjurb]

Why do you have 3 phones

[@fastinradfordable]

It’s called owning a business. You can’t have 900,000 people calling one dude nonstop on his personal phone He’d never get nuthin done. I remember when I had my shop checking the work phone and I had 50 missed phone calls and 100+hr of work in front of my that week. A phone can make a man want to end his life. But somehow 2 or 3 make it more managable😂

[@Woahitsjurb]

@@fastinradfordable I run a 5 man plumbing business on my own 1 phone seems to do the trick.

[@dexjs]

I like what you said.
