The Underestimated Jeep Xj Unibody Takes On My Heavy Equipment: Surprising Showdown!

I thought previously I had this jeep body work in a useable condition but a revisit with my heavy equipment was much needed. The supposedly known weak unibody will leave you a little impressed. New camera and editing equipment was all set up wrong for the windy conditions. Just a common rookie mistake. Thanks for the view!

It's a jeep. That's some fine body work for what it is. After the alloys went on it, it looked great to me. White is very forgiving. I second what another person said. You needed some trees to chain to. But you got it done regardless. Can't wait for the next video.

[@janetbrowder6685]

Professional body shop guys with frame straightening machines gotta be smiling watching your antics.

[@Dmowery5036]

This is gonna be a funny build! Gonna be a good one. I try and let all your adds play to help you out.

[@boostedzjadventurevlogs4121]

Great job DeXj.

[@aaadamt964]

It's wild how much you have to over pull sometimes to keep it from springing back. I've over pulled stuff several inches just to get it to stay where it belongs. Source: am body guy by trade, hick that drives beaters by birth. Haha

[@Deadbuck73]

We have rust up north here. We just learn to live with it and beat it back as needed

[@rustypotatos]

Nice man

[@danhambrick6331]

Buddy you just graduated to Super Hack Job.....😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Skiridr22]

That Jeep is going to the crab walk when you drives it 😂😂

[@user-rl3kw7sk2x]

Can't wait to see this thing squatted and some big wide rims on it😂

[@doughaven-rf8id]

Gotta say, Dex, you made a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

[@robertbryant7771]

I’d cheerfully, proudly drive that thing just like it is. Next steps are gonna be fun…

[@rededge2003]

Fun vid, thanks

Sometjing sorta similar happened to my 5.9 ZJ.. hit a 2010 ford focus at like maybe 10mph didnt do too much dmg though to me.. but i hit a deer at 65mph bout 3 years ago.. destroyed my front end.. but nothing CRAZY. But when i tried to put a ARB bumper on.. then it showed.. my frame was off by 1.4 of an inch or a tad less.. so the left side was harder to bolt on.. and the gaps were a tad off.. wasnt as major as yours though. And it wasnt nlticable with the plastic stuff on.. but the arb bumper it was noticable until i fixed it.

😃good stuff

[@bobbyplatt7654]

Wide track Bobcat has very little weight per square inch on the ground..A tree works wonders..

[@dexjs]

Definitely don’t disagree but shocking.

[@noberet]

Wild!

[@carlt6932]

I think loosening all of the bolts you can before you start pulling may help.

[@rusty3729]

Hey dex can you do a video on how you wired the 1/2 switch for your transmission in your trail rig?

[@Western_enclave]

Are you going to do a video on the monster truck show you were in

[@jacobvanbruggen5462]

My XJ has never been in a wreck and most those gaps are still off at least a little bit.

[@KarstRats]

Same.

rust is weird some times like my 95 sport no rust anywhere other then a dime size rust hole above the muffler under back seat

[@KarstRats]

I jist dove into swapping fenders so i have my flairs. Well… lets just say. Screw that ever again. Id rather tear down the transmission.

[@jeremyhanna3852]

Dex long time viewer hopefully u will see this and answer back I did a 2 piece axle delete on a 92 cherokee with Dana 30 axle the 4wd switch was in the axle and a vaccum switch in the t case everybody Says just swap the vaccum switch for the eletric one well there different thread I bought one at napa 600 551 it's right thread but detent is to short to work 600 552 the threads are to long and it won't shift into 4wd any idea what the correct part number is

[@j.finesseflights1403]

Let it sit under pressure all night? 😂 lol?

[@danhambrick6331]

👍👍👍👍

[@swanson3k]

Wasn’t this an older project ?

[@swissroll71]

Which Jeep is getting the 5.0 straight 6?

[@Deadbuck73]

Anyone got a set of those center caps for my 99 steel wheels?

[@brandongoodwin9812]

There's a lot Dodge there for jeep guy

[@janetbrowder6685]

Guarantee they were cheap. Occasionally piece one together to make a buck. Those 5.2 and 5.9 engines are hard to kill. Transmissions not so much. 😔😔😔😔

[@Skiridr22]

You didn’t put the hood down

[@brianandglendaharkin9457]

👍🏻🇦🇺

[@HoarderErik]

learn to your video back during the bumper removal whatever is humming in the background unplug that guy

[@brendandonovan9040]

Why don’t you ever answer questions in the comments?

[@janetbrowder6685]

If you only know how overwhelmed he is with comments, calls, texts, messages, emails etc. Currently has 9,000 unopened emails. With no sponsors or employees, Dex has to work to make money. Means no disrespect by not replying. Only one Dex.

[@dexjs]

Stop making videos and just reply to comments?? Only so much one person can do… ☹️

[@brendandonovan9040]

@@dexjs that is obviously not what I said… I don’t see any comments from you ever was just wondering about that.

[@jacksonbaker-xi2tm]

Don't stop making videos mate😊keep the jeep alive!,I don't think that's that he meant,can see what he's saying..but if I had the choice of one,hands down keep up the work👍👍
