Cherokees are like never ending projects but when you have to travel and live in one for four months with your wife it needs to be in a good operating condition. I've been building and using the Jeep as a work truck and offroad toy for the last two years and although it's pretty solid its going to need some work before we leave for Scandinavia. In this video I break down the build as it stands Pre-Trip, and then the five months work begins before we leave! This video is originally and MCQBushcraft upload from my other channel but I have started this new channel and moved all the Jeep/Adventure stuff here. Thanks for watching

Cheers
So glad I found your channel. I have a USA 99 XJ Sport 4 door 4.0L. I purchased it new back in 1999 and it is now my second vehicle after over 15 years being a daily driver. I am looking for some additional upgrades after completing the following. Added is a 4" lift, heavy duty track bar, sway bar disconnects, upgraded steering damper, Bilstein shocks, 265 x 60 x 18 tires and wheels, slip yoke eliminator, 4.11 gears front and rear with front and rear EATON limited slip lockers. Being it is now 24 years old time to address some aging issues. One, some minor rust is now showing, doors are sagging due to worn out hinge pins, and time for some paint or a wrap and replacement bumpers with a winch. Anyhow I will be following your chapters and look forward to see what you come up with your 99 XJ build. Cheers!
This video is from back when I lived in the UK. You don't get snow there really. Here in Sweden where I live now you get plenty with ice but they don't salt the roads so its pretty good for cars
@@WorkshoptoWilderness check the small metal plate on the radiator support. If you see PBQ there that is your paint code for Steel Blue Pearl. Mine is also an export model, so the paint code doesn't appear anywhere else on the vehicle.
@@WorkshoptoWilderness The American market ones have it on the door stickers, but our imports have it on the crossmember, and a few other places, tucked away under bumpers, etc.
do you have any links or names i can search on the different products you used for different areas of rust protection.. in canada and repairing a rusted out cherokee looking for something better than the bed liner paint i have now
I use this for inside the box sections - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-x-DINITROL-3125HS-RUST-PROOFING-CAVITY-WAX-500ml-AEROSOL-Extension-nozzle/223128840442?hash=item33f383e8fa:g:bMwAAOSw~llcRaoM&frcectupt=true An this for underneath the vehicle - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tetroseal-4-5kg-TSL500-Tetrosyl-Genuine-Top-Quality-Product-New/232936860324?epid=10012032970&hash=item363c1e6aa4:g:nP8AAOSwj81bpaEq They are both excellent products and they will not fail, chip, crack or come off. The temperatures here fluctuate from -35c in the winter to +33c in the summer and it's still good with no returning rust.
Hi Mike, just een recommended to your channel from the FB XJ group, we're moving our XJ uk to Sweden soon, do you know if the 1996 has headlights that can be redirected to right side driving?
Hey, thanks for checking it out. Yeah you can buy the left hand drive head lights and fit them to the xj. RBS Handle in Sweden will probably sell new units that fit. Or you can find a scrap xj and use them. They are fairly easy to find. We're you guys moving too?
HI! Nice to see XJ with the same engine as mine: D I have no time to make presentation video, but my setup is quite similiar. Maybe I will put some vid on YT chanel. Steering and braking system schould interest you ;)
Hey thanks for watching. Ah nice I will check it out if you upload something. This video is pretty old and its come a fair way since the beginnings of this trip. I have a more up to date vid here if your board one day! - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mvTS1MjAnDA.html
