[@drugtalk101]

[@cgscprspecialist3937]

Great build you are very talented

[@johnelliott4521]

Congrats on the dream job. Consider flipping steering gear on top of axle, simple to do and you get steering gear out of the way of rocks.

[@freshdoggo1805]

Congrats on the new job! Also love your Jeep!

[@jcjeeps]

Thank you!!

[@ericsxj1975]

Nice XJ!

[@epagent6091]

Nice rig bro!

[@MrCJMacKechnie]

Congratulations

[@JeeperGear]

Congrats on the new job man. Like you, I do lots of side jobs as they come and know how hectic it can get, so the channel gets put on back burner. Money doesn't buy happiness but it buys a jeep parts and I ain't never seen a sad person in a jeep. 😄

[@jcjeeps]

Thanks! And Amen to that love me some jeeps!

[@davyleupz]

For bump stops I recommended Prothane coil spring inserts, you can get them through summit racing. They work great and I can’t even feel when I hit bump, they work.

[@cablenowadays6586]

hockey pucks zip tied together is the best solution 😂

[@michaelyoung1477]

I have a 6.5 inch long arm kit going in mine soon an a 8.8 in the rear hopefully geting a jk front axle as my next mod after thats all done

[@jessicamakowski9]

I wanna build it also congratulations on the job

[@edmondndrecaj4377]

She's a beauty 👌

[@beaumont9072]

So I’m in the process of a build a 96XJ it’s red it actually looks very similar to your bad ass Jeep I’m in the process of swapping a 6.0 LS some 1 ton axles yeah baby it’s work in process. Your jeep is fucking awesome bro good job 👍 🇺🇸💪🏼

[@WesPsWorld]

I'd like that hood on my Jeep XJ!!

[@BradleyBeeksAdventures]

That is one nice XJ I hope to have one like it some day, the one I have now isn’t worth putting that much into 😂

[@akusipetualang]

Nice video..

[@RubiKidd06]

Your not the first person to not have bump stops installed :

[@rogerg0834]

Awww, the dogs are stuck on the balcony. They want to go offroading too!!

[@jcjeeps]

They always go!! 😁

[@Armando52496]

Your XJ looks amazing. I got a '97 recently and it has d35/c8.25. It came with 4-4.5 lift on 33s and already cut fenders. I've gone ahead and installed 4.56's so I want to switch to 35's but...I'm not sure if there is anything else I should upgrade to install 35's. Any advice would be great. I'm also planning on maybe changing to 3.5 lift but don't know if it'll clear the 35s. Thank you.

[@lannybackes1053]

Nice build man! One of the best looking XJ's on the planet! Do you have any plans to upgrade the T-Case?

[@alexdexter3.6rubicon95]

im running the same 01 jeep xj 2014 rubicon axles 5.5 lift front long arm 5.13 gears 37" tires love my setup

[@averyrc1634]

Like the Jeep man I live in your area have 2001 xj 4.5 lift and 33s should go jeeping sometime

[@jcjeeps]

Let’s go dude! Message me on insta!

[@danhambrick6331]

I hope you have better luck with that Dynomax muffler than I did.I bought the same set up and in less than 6 months the internals of the muffler came loose and caused a major rattle.....

[@dezinefaktory5723]

I know you sold this, it’s definitely a beautiful beast.. I’ve moderately built 3 now and sold under the $6.5k range..I now have in my hands a 87 AMC.. I’ve seen all your videos and what you actually sold the XJ for.. my question is.. how much in total non fabricated parts? If that makes sense.. I’m thinking of following your guide and build it similar without the custom fabs and stick to a good alternative for those parts..I will be running 35’s on my build..thanks for any input you may have and CONGRATULATIONS on the gig man..

[@OnlyJayBoss]

2 questions bro .... thinking of getting a 4.5 inch rough country lift and trying to run 35 inch tires on that ... but before the new tires im going to buy bushwaker flat fender flares - you think there will be clearance ? And 2nd question where can I find a jeep xj headliner fabric ? Mines sagging inside ... thanks

[@windmaker1966]

Wow! Love that XJ! Does it feel like its going to tip over around town?

[@jcjeeps]

With the tent it’s definitely a tank to drive. But when the tent is off it actually drives really good!

[@MajorWeakness]

Looks great! Did you do frame stiffeners?

[@jcjeeps]

Not yet they are sitting in my basement 😁 hopefully soon

[@never-stock-rc2968]

Sick as fuck bro!! Just got my 95 xj last week 141k miles 2nd owner from my uncle 2200 bucks!

[@champhernandez2468]

[@benjaminreinhardt259]

Where in NC are you? I'm over in Elizabeth City. I plan to go out to Uwharrie in a couple weeks. Have made a couple trips out to Windrock and plan to again this fall. Know any other good places out this way to wheel?

[@kennynull4599]

How much uptravel do you have with your build? Do you have at least 4”?

[@jcjeeps]

I can’t even remember what it was, seems like about 4-5 in up travel

[@OmarHernandez-kg8cu]

Fender model ?

[@Steveindajeep]

If Jeep upgraded the interior and made the same physical/mechanical design today in 2021 people would buy them like hot cakes.

[@jcjeeps]

With out a doubt it would sell like crazy!

[@user-vy4uh2vr4k]

Do you know of any unibody protection for the xj?

[@jcjeeps]

IRO makes good stuff

[@levicpatterson]

That's a sweet hood. Where did you get it?

It’s a Baja fiber hood they don’t make them anymore unfortunately

[@johnburnett1974]

If I was to copy all the suspension ,axles and steering components what would that cost me.

[@jcjeeps]

If you did it yourself probably around 8-10k

Finish lol we never finished buddy

[@yerwrng]

I hate building other people rigs . Mainly I hate bolting junk on .

[@DooberD33]

I’d say that’s the build ima do but with 33s cause your standing so tall yet your tires are 37 you’ll still rub on extreme flex ofc I live in Utah and we have the best Offraod trails so where you are you may be solid

[@beaumont9072]

America 🇺🇸 💪🏼🔧🔩🤙🏼

[@highlander91newk54]

37s and still on short arms lmao. You can really tell how much this thing is used lol. Making the xj into the new ricer..

Let me know when you’re ready to start funding me on patreon and I can make it happen.

[@marka.2715]

All that money invested and no long arms? Your XJ would drive and handle far better.

I will be going long arms soon for sure
