I Wanted A Safari Jeep, So I Built Me One!!

Since I don't have a four door wrangler I decided to build a very similar rig. Just on a whole different budget, I found a Jeep Grand Cherokee and went to chopping and got me something very close. Definitely a summer time ride!

[@James-yp5dn]

If nothing else at least you and your homies had a good time hanging out 👍👍

[@Dmowery5036]

That thing turned out pretty neat looking! Building a custom vehicle with your buddies and watch them break you stuff, priceless! Lol!! Great weekend fun and more to come with it

[@chopp2145]

Guy was proud of that glue ball

[@billgeorge1142]

I guess if have that many jeeps I'd build crazy stuff too

[@jeffreyrue4569]

I had to run..came back to watch the ending.. looks great!! Just have to make a waterproof canvas snap cover for the dashboard..and a car cover when It rains.. Love it!!🎉

[@jeffreyrue4569]

You guys should have cut it and engineered it so you could re install the top when it rains or gets colder.. just thinking 🤔

[@drakeaubrey3695]

Swap out the seats for some similar to boat seats, plastic with removable cushions, and strip out the carpet. Just make it a little more accepting to the elements with a roll bar and soft top

[@smkymtnguy33]

You need to bring this to the Smoky Mtn Jeep Invasion this summer. Dolls and all!

[@jeepguy04]

One of the best videos yet

[@danieljohnson8437]

Fishing rig. Boat? Hauling. Excellent

[@caseyb65]

I also have one of them, but I mine still has the pillars and roof frame, just no sheet metal on top and no doors🤣

[@Luckyj1s]

I love it! Best idea yet! Yall are gonna have a blast with that thing in a month or so!! Great video Dex!

[@noberet]

That is really cool! Thank you!

[@jeffreyrue4569]

Or.. make a tiki bar top for it..😅

[@papatomsthoughts]

An old EMT trick for side and back windows, a spring loaded center punch used for metal. Right in corner of window and bang it is gone.

[@thecraigrainey]

Screams Sebring lol. Fun project tho. Great idea. Looks fun

[@Deadbuck73]

Man I just nicked my XJ rear window with my hedge trimmer and it spider webbed instantly.

[@alpha2999]

I like the Idea. You should build an amphibious vehicle 😂

[@ronaldbruzan9646]

Hey Dex When are you going to do a video introducing all your buddies. We’ve met Cody and Mark a little how about the others? These weekend builds are what my buddies and I did when I was much younger. Tons of fun!!!!!!! How to vids and wheeling vids too!!!!! Ron

[@paulwatts905]

love the new logo 👍

[@eat.sleep.wheel21]

a set of cheap race car scales would add some good/interesting info

[@onebadrc]

To break tempered glass easily tap it on the edge.

[@paulkoski8759]

Looks awsome now i wanna get one how much to have you do one

[@shanedottie]

Great videos bro

[@CKILBY-zu7fq]

I know where to cut, I've done it before. But I gota see what all of you can actually do. It will be fun, right?

[@myronjansen2165]

This is my idea with my jeep in about eight or so years. It’s still decent body and all that but It will just be a trail rig. Gonna try to keep it as nice as I can as long as I can. But the ultimate goal if it gets all fucked up is to build a nice looking cage after chopping the top off. I spend some of my time in the dunes as well. My reason for waiting so long to chop it besides, that is that I don’t have a place to store it and it rains a lot here.

[@ed0c]

that tape plugs into a cd player output then plays your CD into the tapes output

[@TroysMobileAutoRepair]

This was the most chaotic video you've posted yet lmao

[@jothew1274]

Gotta put 3rd row seats

[@TheMainLead]

A video about lifters with Justin!

[@truthspeaker7878]

yooo this channel has alot of potential. u gota find a series that is digestible for normies. or maybe more short form 8-12 miinute content, of like junkyard hooligans breaking in or like tryna barter with you like those pawnshop tubers. u got it mane

[@haydenwinfrey1337]

Hey dex you should do a video on high flow water pumps if there any better than stock

[@toddpaulson7081]

If you go to do another one is used for car left to lift the rough off.

[@jakeclauson9863]

How come you guys act like 4.0l have a bad rep? Got my wrangler with 25k miles and ran the clock up to 300k and literally only did plugs, a handful of radiators and water pumps and an alternator.. I only had that 1 4.0 but that thing ran like a top until I totaled it. Wasn't even really totaled but the insurance gave me a deal I couldn't refuse for a 300k mile north eastern wrangler..

[@janetbrowder6685]

🤔🤔🤔🤔 They all adore the 4.0. Have to remember they only get Jeeps others have abused. Many times the 4.0 has been run hot. 😔😔😔😔😔😔

[@jakeclauson9863]

@janetbrowder6685 if they dont adore them its prolly just cuz they have to deal with em everyday and forget how bad other engines are. But they can take some heat. Mine over heated countless times. One time it over heated just right so the temp gauge never moved. Meanwhile I'm doing 70 down the freeway wondering why the cruise control isn't working. So I step on the gas more and nothing.. by time I got off the highway it was barely only running on a couple cylinders. I let it cool for a few min and added what water I had on hand. Limped to a gas station still missing a few cylinders. Once it totally cooled off it was like nothing happened. Another time I was in dunkin drive thru and the top of the radiator exploded and completely covered the car in front of me with steaming hot coolant on 90° day. 😆😆 fkn lazy ass dunkin employees sitting on their ass making people wait 20 min..

[@brianjanusek4356]

It looks like that was the first time dude ever threw something.

[@eat.sleep.wheel21]

it looks like a Chrysler Sebring...

[@DB-yj3qc]

Just don't try that with the right rear window for some reason just saying break near them they do. 😅 well at least on some XJ's

[@jamesvice8705]

Are those chevy luvs on the back side of those jeeps?

[@christopherjones4850]

was fixing to ask same thing

[@MrMrsregor]

yea man, it sure is... good catch !

[@purplecorn1234]

It was all going so good, then the cherry picker came out 😂

[@goonzzy556]

This makes me sad I would have traded you my wj to destroy mine has had lifter noise for the last 100,000 miles still runs every day just broke my soul when it fired up and was as smooth as can be

[@raydunn4517]

Try a appear carbon steel works every time and much lighter

[@xTinBenderX]

❤️‍🔥DeXJ❤️‍🔥

[@BronxBastard730]

That thing is siiiiick .. I got a 2005 4.7 v8 I'm about to chop the roof off of ...

[@gparroz3288]

I showed up late … you’re working on a Subaru Baja ?!?

[@vwclub3]

How come it looks like a Subaru without the roof

[@mlsargent51]

I sure wish you sold used parts. I just got a 2004 and need a few things like a evap canister bracket. lol

[@janetbrowder6685]

He does sell parts. Verrry hard to contact. Very, very busy all the time!!

[@mlsargent51]

Thank you! I'll give it a shot, to try and contact him. I have nothing to loose!@@janetbrowder6685

[@eat.sleep.wheel21]

That's literally his business. Selling used parts.

[@mlsargent51]

I thought he bought, repaired and resold jeeps. I didn't know he sold individual parts also, thanks for the info!@@eat.sleep.wheel21

[@jakegorman7121]

This is why I DONT call friends for help ..

[@janetbrowder6685]

Some sincerely good friends. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@DependableAutoTruck]

where are you located i am in south east alabama would be willing to drive a reasonable distance to get a factory lite gray headliner 1999 jeep ground cherokee

[@johnmortimer7862]

Not to be negative, but you probably lost a ton of structural rigidity by removing the roof.

[@MrJoshualoney]

Is it time yet dex

[@stevenblumke2693]

Good video hack job!

[@stevenblumke2693]

Bro I want that jeep! How much u want?

[@forreststrong797]

Am i able to get ahold of you through email or something about some xj parts? Specifically I'm looking for renix era black interior pieces ive only seen one factory black interior in person and a couple pictures online and only the renix era ones that i know of had black as a option and the ones ive seen have all had the Cherokee cheif logo on the side. Its gonna be hard to find because i want parts in good condition not faded or cracked something that cleans up nice. I'd like a dash and bottom dash trim then a center console and some of the interior plastics but im ok with a black and gray theme I just want more black especially the dash and lower trim and center console then as mich other stuff as i can find. Its for a jeep ive had for a long time its actually my first xj its heavily modified but its very nice i like making the interiors nice im always snagging good interior pieces for Cherokees at the wrecking yards and stuff and ive been on the hunt for black interior parts for this cherokee i dont like painting that stuff im picky.

[@Skiridr22]

No don’t cut it up she purrs like a kitten, it has reclining driver seats.

[@CKILBY-zu7fq]

Sorry but what I just saw is definitely not the place to cut, play that's all right it's your hack job

[@tylerbraswell4476]

😂😂😂 she's a beaut

[@amylane6108]

Do you sell parts from your jeeps

[@CKILBY-zu7fq]

Sorry, I had to go to the end ,its ok .

[@hippiemiller]

Was that a Chevy lov truck in your yard

[@janetbrowder6685]

Thinking one Chevy Luv........but also a ref Mazda 2200? 4wd. How rare is either??

[@brianandglendaharkin9457]

Waste of a good Jeep and parts ☹️😡🤬.

[@janetbrowder6685]

Maybe so, but it was enroute to the scrap yard. Scrap guy makes a call to Dex, especially with Jeeps. He pays more sight unseen than scrap price. If it indeed becomes street legal, numerous people will drive it. Even all the dogs will get to ride. 👍👍👍👍
