See The Insane Creations I Built In My Younger Days - You Won't Believe What This Is!

Back in my younger times I had wayyyy more time to dedicate to some wild builds. I do in a way regret this one but definitely to late to turn around now! Watch to find out what this is actually based off of. Check out the details I added with little to no fabrication tools along with all self taught skills. Hope You Enjoy!!

[@vwclub3]

As some one that knows how to make somthing out of nothing with basic tools .... this build blows me away ... all the little extras are insane

[@Budrob998]

I love the pointy eye dagger right where the side view mirror goes

[@bullbutter9699]

I'm not digging that , looks unsafe I'd round that at least.

[@andyturner9715]

I’d like to see the same walk around of the bouncer!

[@robanderson2815]

That is a really custom piece Dex. I love it! Love to see a walk around of your bouncer someday.

[@chriscrowder7505]

Start making those shackles of yours. I’m in to buy a few sets of them.

[@sh-df1bb]

I'm amazed that we haven't seen collabs with you & bleepin jeep. Bleepin jeep versus with Dex would be amazing ❤

[@dexjs]

I got his number. Just waiting on a good time.

[@dingmanracing]

I wondered the same thing?

[@billgeorge1142]

I'll be waiting

[@ThatGuyFromArizona]

Thanks for taking us down memory lane with you.

[@thelonewrangler1008]

This thing is definitely goofy and absurd, but I effin love it. It may look like a Madmax clown car, but I respect the amount of work it takes to build something like this with an angle grinder and bottle jack bender. That spider on the roof deserves more visibility because it's a masterpiece of junkyard art. Id say you should RC this thing and actually give it a proper launching but I'm sure its too sentimental

[@dexjs]

I still want proof you’re not AI 😆

[@CarlLenz-bi8il]

Brother You did amazing w lack of tools and money

[@MacsSpecialitiesProperties]

Right on!

[@3rddiscipl3]

No disrespect, you like Chip Foose hillbilly brother & this jeep needs to go to Sema! Respect

[@3rddiscipl3]

I want custom cupholders now

Pictures are good in this video reminds me of my buddies xj we cobbled together over the years

[@j.finesseflights1403]

😲 GEEZ! I wish I had your drive or will power!!

[@dexjs]

Time ☹️

[@kenslagg5304]

Dex you are insane in the membrain. So cool

[@dustinwilson492]

I think you need to get somebody young in that thing and let their excitement reignite your own.

[@hardline4x487]

Love the photos added in Dex! And super super rad Jeep!!! Yall are exactly like me I really hope I can meet ya some day

[@user-dg2ji4cj7g]

Just keep it even if you don’t use it you built it that’s awesome 👏

[@dexjs]

That's the plan!!

[@mellowinsanity3492]

One tons, coil overs, completely rebuild the lower end with a 4 link set up. Put some power under the hood throw some 37s on it. That’s the set up for one hell of a rig. Love it

[@DavidSmith-sw5kg]

Thanks for the walk around! I’m glad you had the time and no money for this project / obsession. I’m really glad no adults were allowed in the room to hinder your creative journey in this build. It’s like a 6 year old with Legos where imagination never stops. I’m sure with all the knowledge & $ you have acquired through the years this Spider will become the Monster you originally dreamed. Have fun DexJ

[@justinchandler5436]

Awesome

[@caseyb65]

If you could ever get the drive train to stay together that thing would go anywhere you had the balls to take it lol

[@dustinkile7705]

Awesome!

[@Dmowery5036]

I been waiting for this

[@jaaxxone]

OMG! Those sharp points where the mirrors are mounted make my face hurt!!!

[@timmcooper294]

AGR is a performance steering and hydraulic ram assist specialist. That's a nice upgraded box!

[@isaacbrewer5616]

I agree with you and understand man. Clean bone stock is nice (I have a clean stock XJ myself and I love it). But the result of this project is just super cool! I love all the little details especially the spiders! Really shows off your skills. Great job! Thanks for showing us!

[@Budrob998]

It’s the world’s first side x side

[@kevingodwin6887]

People that has never built like this just doesnt understand lol. Looks killer. I to have a zj that has a lot of work done and more on the way after i get my tons done. Personally id do 5.2, tons, 42s, and coil overs and send it. Keep up the good work.

[@chrismarsh9978]

Awsome !!!

[@rustytoyota]

This thing has me excited for my lifted corolla build. 3" Prius Off Road Lift. Will be running RC WRX Spacers (1"). Tow Hitch. Plan is to make a Sedan i can take on some mild trails while camping.

[@aceforever001]

That's how I stay alive! Projects keep me moving forward. Cool build! Love the thought and effort went into it! Treds

[@williamsauer658]

Cool jeep! Shine it up and put in your museum.

[@MacsSpecialitiesProperties]

Tons on 42s would be SICK on the Black Window 🕷

[@gwood69]

HIDs we’re the shit in the early 2010s especially with the halos around them too. Dex I gotta say man this thing I awesome what a wild build. We need to see a video with you and bleepin Jeep!

[@ed0c]

dood i love it! put some 42's on it and put a heavy transfer case with ultra low range in it! then go crawling

[@XxggxX8]

Ready 🎉

Love your content, any plans to visit Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival ? -fellow xj enthusiast

[@dexjs]

Don’t know what that even is??

05+ super duty axles would look perfect and perform amazing under this beast!. She'd be a bit wide at full width but she'd dominate with 40" tires or bigger lol

[@jakeshaffer7572]

Just wheel it

[@paulwatts905]

Amazing amount of work ❤👍👍

[@richardstack4818]

Nice later dex

[@jammerlupardi8782]

Dex, you are all that!…….and not minding my own business, ever think about an electric garage door openers. Stay safe and XJ rule!

[@kennethevangelista3039]

Thats a great rig dex awesome 💯💯💯👍👍👍

[@JBdontcare]

Man, you have some of the best freakin ideas lol

[@darrelsmith4549]

That is freaking awesome bro 😮🖤💪💪💪💪

[@eat.sleep.wheel21]

it will look cool on a set of tons and 44 boggers

[@angelbaez2766]

So freaking cool

I remember you bringing this to hawk pride off road

[@rustypotatos]

Wooooow

and im glad its a v8 i really wanna see the ls swap commanche get done bro please id donate parts if i could

[@gunnperformance2202]

Just found the channel, love it. Been watching while working on wife's TJ. BUT, I think you just solved a problem I've had with my '51 Dodge truck. It has a '97 5.9 from a truck with automatic. I have a 5 spd behind it. It "flatlines" at about 3000 rpm. Been fighting this for a year. I'll get laptop on it and see what happens. Thanks!!

[@dexjs]

Awesome man. So glad I can help. I bet that is it. Throws the timing to 0 degrees. Flat line.

[@tractortom6965]

I have a question I have a 01 jeep grand Cherokee runs fine but after a few minutes it starts to run rough, relays start clicking, and random engine codes appear think it's the pcm dose that sound right it has 161000 with the original pcm

[@WadeBlackmon]

That is the hillbilly hauler if I ever seen one lol

[@johnbishop-qs8je]

Small cheap motorcycle side mirrors work good

[@jeremyhanna3852]

Does it have a vin Would you consider selling it id be interested at 8k

[@damionrichter]

i like the hood latch release i prefer fabricating heavy duty solutions for my custom vehicles

[@dioncrighton4980]

This is a mad max or fast n furious looking build

[@rexwright2386]

Look like a best

[@natefrechmann8336]

I think it would be cool if you took a v8 wj or zj drivetrain and stuffed it all into a xj, maybe some 2nd gen 1500 axles or something for extra beef but not much more weight. A lil cage and you got a beater buggy on steroids

[@justincook3815]

Motor trans drivetrain swap into one of your Comanches then just 4.0 aw4 and treat this thing like the green Jeep

[@Ihscout1069]

Still cheaper than a new side byside

[@Beavercreekbait]

Did you have a sxs built kinda like that back in 2013ish?

[@dexjs]

I did not.

[@Beavercreekbait]

@@dexjs was a guy I met @ a rock bouncer race @ king knob and your jeep reminded me of it that’s all.

[@codyabbott4791]

People that make fun of builds like this buy parts and bolt them on, and then cry when someone in a backyard built beater goes better than their rig lmao. Also with the weight and V8 a set of 1tons would be perfect, like a 14 bolt and SD dana60.

[@dexjs]

Yep yep. Most never “built” anything in their life I bet!

[@user-sc3gs6ot6e]

Have you done a death wobble video

[@mitchelllawrentz766]

How much does that thing weigh

[@oogabooga2327]

So bad ass… beef up the power and shed off some weight

I'm 44 now I think they took a hour from us never have time

I built a 77 vega 4x4 when I was 19 why I don't know

[@sriles1676]

Love it! Only thing I don't like is the pointy thing. Would be cool if you could change that up. Keep up the great work, love the channel! -95 XJ
