My Jeep Cherokee XJ Camper Conversion! 

Pretty neat but that engine bay looks like its ready to explode once the plastic coating on one of those millions of wires rubs through. Please keep a fire extinguisher with you and an easy access batter cut off......

Jeez man please do yourself a favour and clean up that wiring. Looks like a nightmare.

What brand/model front bumper is that?

Do you still have this rig? Any update videos on what you've done since then?

In Australia, we call it Glamping :)

Its just a shit box xj man calm down abt it.

You've got a few good ideas there Modern Explorer! Love the solar system as it allows you to power a refrigerator/freezer. And your hot water heater is a new one for me to see as well. I did learn on another build how the 4-door XJ front seats don't tilt forward and am aware (obviously) the 2-door seats do. But you worked around that, so good on you. I've heard one can get larger gas tanks for these XJ's and have seen one crafty fella build his own. Upwards of 30 gallons from what I understand. I like the idea of well more capacity so as not to have range anxiety when traveling remotely. ....and the reduced annoyance of skipping gas stations in normal use. This is the first video of yours I've seen so will see what else you have. :-)

Im gonna be attempting to convert my 93 4x4 stock cherokee into a camper as well.

Nice conversion! It looks many people are making a camper out of XJ. I also converted mine. I hope you will check my video!

Your Cable work is awful and dangerous

It never ceases to amaze me how much stuff people can cram into these small cars!

Thank you I've looked all over for the part about angling the front seat forward.

Nice video. Thank you SO much for narrating it with your own voice and not one of those computer-generated voices! I have a 1998 Cherokee (same Chili Pepper Red color) and though I'm not going to be modifying it as you have, I think I will modify the front passenger seat with the hardware from a two door the way you did. There have been several times when being able to fold the seat forward would have come in very handy for me.

I have watched countless xj videos. A lot of great designs. This one has the cooler and heater that im looking for. Now I'm wondering if I should use aluminum instead of steel for the weight.

5:30....🤘....thanks for the tip🍻🇺🇸

💕 Hi ! I just stumbled upon your channel & subscribed. The first video I watched was your "Colorado Bigfoot Documentary - Facing Sasquatch". I've been zipping through bigfoot shows for several years & have no clue why I've never come across your channel ! The only key word I typed into search was Bigfoot !! LOL ! Which is hilarious because that must've been the hundredth time I did that ! I mean, had you been new to RU-vid it'd make sense, but I see you've been around a couple of years at least, so...? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Ha ! Anyway, I haven't found your name anywhere so far. Do you have one that isn't top secret ?? 😂 And thank you for your research & videos ! I'm enjoying them ! As long as you don't start saying they came out of a UFO, or are zipping in and out from another dimension..... I'll stick with you ! 👍🏼😉

I want a jeep xj wish i had nice clean good mud tires a lil lift would be ok not much and a good roof rack & lightbar with front bumper wench ill keep all my seats ill need the room for family

Nice! Im in a similar stage with my westfalia XJ. How well do you feel the solar does as compared to power only from the alternator?

nice setup. I got a 93 xj 2wheel drive that I bought new. why didn't I get 4x4,lol

Getting the passenger seat from a two door cherokee is such a good idea! All I did was take my passenger seat right out--- because, I am a loner. Haha.

at 35 seconds into video it looks like a park in Colorado I stumbled upon... Can't remember the name but was around Colorado Springs I believe..

Great set up. More time in the woods the better

fun stuff. been camping out of a WJ for a while and interested in solar for the fridge. thanks for sharing.

No winch! Are you serious?

Rather than the Little Buddy heater,may I suggest the Coleman Black Cat ( discontinued but Ebay has them ) . Uses less propane , can be turned down to a lower setting. I have both . The Little Buddy uses a full pound of propane per night while the Black Cat uses less than half.

Hey, That's a nice Jeep. (from the Terminator two) I'm 6ft5 and need to cut out the roof and make the back to slide out 3 to 4ft. And remake a new rear door. I like the hot water heater and the hose's. Thanks for sharing

Great idea to hinge the front of the bed so that you could keep the passenger seat. I'll do that too when I do my Bronco. Thanks!

Lol you're not camping youre just living in a mobile home!!! Great video and build. Im jealous!

I so wanted to do this to my 96 Cherokee. Now with 5 grand kids under 3 my plans call for a back seat and car seats. So much for stealth mode. That's ok ten minutes into a 4 hour offroad ride there napping

Awesome build! I'm thinking about installing a solar panel on my cherokee too, what battery are you using with it? (what ah?)

I have a 1996 Cherokee Laredo. You gave me some ideals.

Love the vid. Keep em coming.

GENIUS way to adapt the vehicle for more sleeping space. Very cool.

I hear you, your right , but it’s nice to have at least a rear locker!
