awesome build but for me deciding not to elevate the bed space, OG level allows a full sitting position . which is important

The Xj is great but VERY LIMITED IMHO. When i compare the Xj to a Van or Truck its seems to me that either the Van/Truck is a far better option for many Many Reasons. First if you need to get some work done the Van/Truck are much better in most cases. As far as Livings (or even Camping) again i find the Van/Truck to be MUCH BETTER. Of course All 3 get about the same poor MPG so even there the Xj can not pull out a win (Though much Smaller). So Although I like the Xj its tough to see any situation where i would not rather have a Van/Truck. But nice Jeep and very good job of working with what you have. (Might want to (Consider selling the Xj and getting a Van/Truck though is you are going to keep living in your Car IMHO.)

.....I view the Xj as a VERY SMALL short Van. Nice Jeep, Xj is a good one (had a few) BUT when i compare them to a Van (or Truck) i find them VERY Limited. First of all 3 get Poor Gas Mileage around 15 MPG so they are equally shietty on that. But IMHO The Van/Truck Crush the Xj on just about every other factor. The Van/Truck have far more room inside for supplies/living, I can get 4 or 5 TIMES more gear in my Van/Truck than in my Xj and i dont need to mess around with a folding bed etc (Also Much more Room overhead so your not bent over for hours). Of course if/when you need to get some work done the Van and Truck once again CRUSH the Xj. I would pick my Xj last every time as its a very limited small van. Nice Jeep though and good job working with what you have.

nice dude feel the words🤙

good taste in music.....

Hello do the rear seats of this jeep fold down flat ?

Hows it been going? First looked at this video 8 months ago, stiill havent done anything, been considering a van but after watching this im gonna have to keep the xj

Had to pop in the comments right away to tell you that your music taste is amazing! Going to finish the video now to explore more info on building my XJ into a overlanding rig.

We'll done sir. Will be stealing some of these ideas.

I have a 96 ZJ (268k) with a similar cocept, slept in it for a full year (at 69 years old) traveled across the US multiple times and definitely understand (and like) much of your reasoning. Best thing you have (besides a great attitude) is Grampa's knives (just because) AND that Constitution! It may just be your most valuable tool. Hang tough, EXPLORE, and keep up the good work, appreciate the vid.

Excellent post, thank you for sharing.

I'm on my Gf's account but, how do you afford your expenses. Do you use your savings, do gigs on the side? I have been wanting to jump into this lifestyle for a long time and that's really my biggest concern

If you can spending the money on some ceramic window tint, it would go a long way in temp control and light control. It's one of those upgrades you don't think about until you have it. Then it goes to the top of your list afterwards.

Nice build man!

No gun?

I love it... you sincerely have thought of everything feasible in that space. I drive the same Jeep for my "getting around town" vehicle. It is my favorite car I've ever owned. People are always begging me to sell it to them. Mine is 5 speed and gets me through the tightest spots... lol. My son just got a newer one and we were talking about going camping in our Jeeps. Your videos came up so I SUBSCRIBED. I appreciate everything you have done here and all of the thought you have put into so many things! ❤❤❤ God be with you brother!!

Need a how-to video on the seat bracket

By the way, Alot of the 80's music and singers are coming back big. Donnie Vie from Enuff Znuff goes to Vegas to play and he has different players on every coast. STAY with them drums and connect. YOU def have the look.

That was sweet though, I guess you need to carry around geese food. Sheesh sometimes, you just cannot get a decent word from anyone. God Bless You and by the way, you are very HOT!!

No hygeine items, car stuff, yoyos, skateboard and a 10lb bag of rice "just in case" all in the back of a blacked out XJ. most male video I've ever seen

How tall are u cuz im about to do this to my grand cherokee but im 6'1 and I think I'm gonna have to do that extension on a hinge thing to my bed. I haven't started yet just guessing

Good video I did watch repeat many times . gave me the idea to do with my old jeep. I already subscribed you ,, Cheer man!!!!

Gave a like for the cassette tapes

Nice selection of hard rock and metal 🤘

Hey, do you have a link to the trim clips u use for the cargo mesh? I just got the same one for my Xj and need to space out attachment points better. Thanks for the inspiration!

I've had my setup in for a couple years now. Just a Rubbermaid container and a base made out of old pallet wood and memory foam. Might borrow your idea and replace the container with a small drawer lol

Power to you i lived in my xj for months while i was working away from home. Some of the best sleeps ever

I think we would really get along. I'm building my xj now to live in while I drove to Alaska this spring/ summer. Awesome simple build! Love it! ✌️

1st Aid kit, hardest to get to when needed. Put the 1st Aid kit ready at hand. First Aid...

Nice setup! I have been thinking about doing a camping build out on my XJ. Similar to the build on my suburban.

Love the video and helps me 110%. I have same rig except mine is 5 speed not auto. Been lookin for an Eco van to build out but am now cosidering the jeep. Ive had her since the beginning so 1 owner and she is great. Thanks for the info.

This and the other video motivated me to keep my ever so reliable xj. EXACT same position as you sir. i am going to go and see australia in it.

I have almost all the same old cassette tapes. My 99 Cherokee daily driver has more stuff in it than you do 🙂 All organized in containers of course. I once did what you're doing in an 86 CJ-7. Good times. What's good is you can easily rearrange everything anytime you want.

Love the build! Where did you find the protection flashlight? As a woman looking to be nomadic in the future, every bit of protection is necessary.

Not a build....just junk inside

You need to tint your Windows!

This is amazing brother. I have a clean stock XJ with 180,000KMS

Awesome setup, Ive got a '99 and thought about doing the same thing...quick question, are those 30" tires?

What roof rack?

Tint your windows lot of thieves out there

Nice setup! How long is the bed?

Love the ingenuity that you put into this!

Little Rock and Roll, as you roll over the rocks. Seems like a day of fun to me. And I would definitely like to fix my Jeep up as a weekend getaway.

Wow you were in my neighborhood. Next time you come through E OR hit me up and I’ll give you some great spots to camp. I think we think the normal American dream is safety and security but in fact you are more likely safer and more secure than someone in an apartment with little money to spare. This old man is super impressed with your rig build out. I came for the jeep but stayed for your youthful wisdom. Peace ✌️ ☮️

I have this jeep and I have....... a house also

Great build! I've slept in my xJ numerous times!

В чем подготовка? Просто свалил вещи в машину

We just paid 185$ to swap tire from one set to another with balance and whatnot. 8 tire later that is and I’m thinking I want a machine and a balancer. After looking both used are about 2k after shipping. Come to find out it’s the bread and butter of a lot of shops.

I just started changing tires over at school and you have no idea how much i want to see tire changes just to get more visual practice….we need more of this stuff like this ‼️

How did you get the passenger seat to fold forward?
