- What a transformation! Our 1999 Jeep Cherokee JX just spent the last 4 weeks in Ensenada Mexico at a Paint and Body shop getting all her dents and dings repaired and a whole new paint job. There was some extensive dent repair done and the new paint job came out great!
Big thanks to Jorge Garcia for all the hard work! 646-227-5963

I say black flares and black wheels!
Yes, add fender flares. The contrast will look good.
I need that body guys number incredible work. Especially dealing with that roof
Same!!!
Thank you for saving her and keeping her on the road Brad! Jaime looks great! That light bar turned out stellar and looks fantastic! Definitely motivates me to get my Goldilocks under the knife and start wrenching on her! Keep up the quality content!
Happy to see the XJ back in action, and very glad no one was seriously injured. Nice choice on the color, it looks great.
Thanks for the update! Please keep these videos coming! We just got an XJ a few months ago and we are working on turning it into a overlander as well and we (my husband and I) really enjoy these videos!
Looks great 👍🏻 I prefer the blue color tho
I'm a JK owner, but I love the XJ's too! I think you should put some black plastic fender flairs on there to break up all the red a bit and provide some needed muck protection.
Some fenders are now on the top of the to-do list. Thanks!
Thanks for keepin another xj out there👍
Great looking truck and great work on paint and body.
I am glad you resurrected the Cherokee and I am sure your son is going to love it even more.
Cheers 🍻
Loved the blue paint and the black wheels...the red with polished wheels not so much...but it's all about personal preferance.
Looks SO GOOD! So glad you guys and Jamie are safe and back on the road!
Thank for posting about the XJ. I have one and I am trying to decide whether to pull off the factory flares for more ground clearance. I like the look of your's without the flares.
She looks fantastic!! Glad to see the her back in her new glory!! Looks good without the flares and all the trim removed!
Now Jorge, that's the ticket! Great job mi amigo. And, red is good for it.
Glad it turned out well. Marco is a good friend for helping you find that guy.
Marco is a great friend and always super helpful!
miss the old wheel/tire combo and the blue color. Glad to hear it all turned out for you though.
Wow! Jamie looks fantastic! Suitable name for the old XJ. Admittedly, I'm old enough to remember the show too!
I watched way too much Bionic Woman when I was a kid... no cable TV back or Netflix back then, you had to pay attention to that TV guide!
He did an absolutely fantastic job! Imperfections are what makes a jeep a jeep. As far as the styling, i think it looks so unique with that clean body line.
Awesome to see a variety of vehicles being shown on the channel!
This red really brings back memories of not only the red XJ my parents had when I was younger, but also the red XJ I bought when I got my license. Really would've liked to see a KC Pro6 light bar on the XJ just like the JK but what's on there now still looks great. As far as a roof rack goes, I'd highly recommend the front runner slimline. It mounts to the gutters and is very versatile. I had it on my XJ and would gladly buy it again when the time for another XJ comes around.
Wow, love the new look! She looks just like my 1989 XJ Limited that was in the exact same red. I drove that XJ for 10-12 years and 200K+ miles without a single major problem. I hope you guys have the same goodluck with Jamie now that she's back on the road. Looking forward to seeing more videos of her out on the trail!
That's what I love about the 4.0 motor... you can get so many miles out of it! Thanks!
Congrats Brad and sons! I'm so happy that you were able to put her back together and keep another XJ on the road and trails.
Personally I would do the aftermarket flares. I have the naked flares on our XJ and its really a pain with the larger tires flinging mud and water everywhere. And now that you have that amazing new paint, you're going to want to protect it.
I just bought a set of flares for my XJ, though my paint is no where near what yours is now. The contrast of the flares will set off the color nicely. Of course you will have to cut into that body and paint to get the flares on. But the end product will look great!
We love the naked look, but are worried about flinging rocks and mud, thanks!
Great work and attention to detail deserves many more customers. Hope that guy gets lots of business.
Great to see it back! Looking forward to the next episode in the series
Nicely done! Beautiful color choice so many folks don't like the red! I think it stands out and goes with the theme going on there!
Simply awesome Brad.....look forward to the transformation videos. Happy Holidays!!! 👍🇺🇸🎄
Thank you and Merry Christmas!
I can't wait to see her out on the trails. Nice job!
I agree! Flat Fender Flares look awesome and protect the side of the Jeep, especially with that new paint job.
That new paint job looks great Brad. Good progress on the xj.
Nice...Sorry Brad I liked the blue better,the red is just too much for me...Put on some flat style flares and she would look better.Just my opinion....
All good man, that's what we have so many colors to choose from to suit each of our tastes.
I agree, blue was better. So many red Jeeps.
Not sure that I've seen an XJ with flat flares before.
@@paulbrowning1758 Many companies make them and they are used alot. You can get the rustys offroad or affordable offroad metal flat flairs with armour. They also have the bushwacker plastic flat flairs. Those are used the most i think.
Gotta agree with ya Dan. Only because ever single dang red bike, car or 4 wheeler I've ever had gave me a ticket, then left me for another man!
what a great looking XJ! Love the color and plates! The long, rectangular look of the front end and the straight lines of the old Cherokees are so classic. After my Wrangler gets here, and when my Suzuki Wagon R finally kicks the bucket, I'm gonna look into importing a Cherokee. (JAPAN)
Wow, I love the colour it just brings out the whole Jeep now!! I would keep a black and red theme, the red & black combination really looks great.
I would go for a clean look approach. It's great to see the Jeep save turned out even better than it was originally. Keep the new JX videos coming!!
You don't miss this thing coming down the trail anymore, that's for sure! Thanks!
So glad to see the xj back in action, congrats! I have to agree with everyone else who said put some black fender flares on her, it will look fantastic against the red. Cheers
so sweet a another good girl back on road ready to hit the trails again!!! Love it!!
Love chili pepper red on an XJ. Glad you were able to save her, Brad! The work looks great. I think a set of Bushwhacker flat flares would look great on there.
The classic look is so clean to this jeep. It's very tastefully done and any guy around in the 80s and 90s can definitely appreciate the look of the chrome rims with no fender flares or anything like that. Even tho I think it would also look good with some black contrast I also think this would be fine as is to go play with and daily drive as well. Glad nobody was hurt in the crash too badly.
Looks great! Accidents happen, I hit ice with my Jk and the passenger side was damaged pretty badly but is being repaired now! Sucks at the time but life goes on! Fantastic jeep brother!
Sorry to hear about your JK! Hope you are back on the trail soon.
Looks great can’t wait to see some vids on the trails! Have a Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
Brad, all I can say is WOW ! I can not believe that is the same XJ that survived the earlier roll-over, and the new color change looks great. You were fortunate to have found a good body shop in Mexico to do the work.
Since the XJ was "saved" by a Mexican body shop, and your previous great adventures in Baja, along with the new color("Chili"), maybe the XJ should be named after a Senorita ?
She turned out great and while we love Baja, we all love the name Jaime.
body work looks great! glad to see the XJ again. now you have to make up for some lost time and put out some new videos. I need inspiration for my XJ
Really did come out nice, kudos to your friend. Have you ever done a dual battery video? Trying to decide if i want to do that, rebuilding my TJ for SAR work (JK next year for those duties and to add too the stable) and will require more lights and of course comms.. Get great ideas here!
Thanks! I haven't done a dual battery, but am using a Goal Zero system. Here is a short video I did on it recently. th-cam.com/video/ZqcpVV7hra0/w-d-xo.html
@@TrailRecon that might be an option for me. I will add that to my research...thanks again for all the good information.
Looks great!! I would do flairs to break up some of the red. Your XJ videos inspired me to do a XJ with my son too.
The front fenders on mine kept getting hit when wheeling so went with Rustys off-road fender flares, but yes looks cleaner without them if you can get your bumpstops dialed in for your tire size, you can order Rustys flares raw and have them paint matched to your new color, that would look sick! He did a good job on the body too!
A few times the way the light bounces off the body lines it looks like it has some cool pin striping!
LOOOOOVE IT
Merry Christmas to you and your family and friends
Merry Christmas to you as well!

Looks great Brad! Nice choice with the red and really liking the no flares actually but I think maybe some color matched flat flares would set Jamie off. I drive an 06 TJ but started following your channel when I had my 01 XJ and just love your adventures, passion for Jeeps and the time and effort you take with the videos. Keep it up!
Thank you!
Wow! He did an awesome job!!! It looks really cool without all the trim pieces!
I have a '99 in the blue/teal color and hated it at first because I wanted the classic red. Now the blue has grown on me... but I don't blame you for the repaint. Red is classic and it looks great! I like fenders for the extra (if only slight) protection and splash guard when going through mud.
Looks Great. He did a great job. The black flares would look good and help keep her looking that way.👍
Looks awesome Brad. I love the older XJ's.
I run my xj naked which in returns gives me an amazing wide stance, the only downside is having tiny rock chips all over the front 2 doors! Great looking XJ
Flinging rocks and mud is our concern as well. Thanks!
Like the look as well. One other thing is you can get pulled over and ticketed for not having the wheels covered as the rock fling off at speed. Most cops won't care, but you get that one stickler and it's ticket time.
My opinion, I love the color and I love the flair delete. Excellent work. Easily a $5000+ paint job in the states. Marco is the man. What a hookup!
Love the red! Now you've got a silver and red Jeep to match your silver and red logo. I had a 97' 5spd XJ black but wanted a red. I think they look the best with no fender flares! A black rock rail and roof rack would accent it so well.
Great color I own my self a red XJ, loved the wheels! What a great work he did, bravo,..,!
She looks awesome! He did an amazing job!!!
I've got a '99 2-door in Chili Pepper Red with some nice patina. Love how it isn't quite "red". Yours looks A LOT shinier... haha Nicely done!
Wow Brad , Jamie looks awesome !!! I kinda like her without the flares .
Thank you! We are in love with Jamie!
He did a tremendous job…paint application is impressive!
The original blue is one of my favorite OEM colors, so I was a bit disappointed to see the change. But at least the new color isn't TOO red. ;)
Wow! The XJ is looking great. My vote is for color matched flares, either the flat bushwackers or notch customs. Rear storage videos would be cool to see on this thing, and of course wheeling videos. Keep up the great content!
Thank you! We have already begun discussing some rear storage ideas, that something we'll be working on this coming year.
That XJ looks very good!! The body guy did an awesome job with all the details, the roof alone must have been a pain, great looking Cherokee!👍🏼
Thanks! We are so very happy to have found a great guy to do the work for us!
I love the no fender look on this XJ. But I think it’d look good with or without them. Super tough call haha
Wow Jamie looks beautiful just stick a green bow on the hood and your ready for the Holidays.
Can't wait for more additional addons. Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎄🎁
Merry Christmas!
PLEASE MORE XJS!!!!!! The XJ looks great
When we first came out here from pa someone ran a sign and tboned us. Totaled the xj. I was depressed for sure but here in Nevada there all rust free so we bought 2 more 92s lol. One limitied one Laredo. Love the xj, been driving them since high school.
Looks good cant wait to see what you do next to her.
Dang! Jamie looks amazing! As a 2001 XJ owner, I’m looking forward to more videos with dirty Jamie. Always loved chili 🌶 Jeeps. Great videos on your channel Sir! Even the ones with the JK😜
Hi Brad. Great color choice. Chili pepper was only available 98,99. I have a 98 Chili pepper XJ and am planning on having it repainted in spring. Yes, the color gets a little darker over time but seeing it newly painted... it really looks awesome. Please tell about the wheels, tire size and lift height if you get a moment. I have purchased a lift kit and really can’t decide how high I want to go. Thanks
Great work!!
Ensenada is beautiful. Used to go down there all the time to visit my grandma.
Some black trim flares would go awesome with the red and flares are always a great option for aesthetics!! Love the Jeep man 👍🏽
I loooove the new look of the lights!
the color looks great!
Love your videos you have inspired me to just get out there and get started thanks and keep the videos coming
Right on man, so great to hear! I hope you have some awesome adventures!
Thank God ! it’s about time Brad!
More to come!
Aw man I loved the old color...I guess red isn't just my color. Either way though I love this jeep I'd want an identical one. Too bad up here in Canada they are all rotted
Nathan Pinto plenty of rust free XJs in Manitoba and Saskatchewan
You need to look online
@@alteredstateskustom I live in Ontario...willing to make the drive though! Whatre you using kijiji?
Kijiji or Letgo
lots of clean Jeeps that never go off-road
@@alteredstateskustom Thanks I'll check it out
I live in BC and there is tons of super clean XJ we don’t get snow in the lower mainland rarely so no salt mine has absolute no rust just a bit on floorboard from the notorious passenger side leak from blower motor
Awesome man the rig looks great he did a great job
I like the no fender look. Of course I am bias because my JKU has no fenders. The color looks amazing!
Same color as my 98 TJ. Love it.
Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Merry Christmas!
wow he did a really awesome job! That is one clean cherokee! I think you need some black on the sides with no trim or anything the sides just look like there is too much red. Thats just my opinion
glad she's up and running!!
I love the color glad everything worked out
Thanks and so are we!
Love it! Put a red jeep "Trail Rated" badge on the front fender... that would look sweeet on that red paint job!
Wow turned out great!
Looks great Brad! Good job
Thanks man! Love the engine build you've got going on!
I’m new to this channel, and I love this video and the transformation your car made! I have to do some bodywork on my car too, and I think the work on your car turned out great. How much did it it cost you?
wow looks brand new! very nice
I took my fenders off when I trimmed my fenders and I wish I had left them on, and also I would spray plasti dip over the sides or something to keep it from scratching too much another thing I regret not doing sooner 😅
Another great video. Keep it up!
The black rubber mats I saw in a video, are those full carpet replacements? Getting ready to pull the carpet out in my 2001 XJ, I don't see them on the amazon link. Also where do you have the Ham radio mounted?
Wha?! I didn't know ya had a xj too! Can't wait to see it on the trail.
Love the red. My XJ I’m building for trail jam is a 98 that’s red going longarm 4.5 31’s rock sliders front and rear bumpers winch and roof rack. Undecided on the a pillar pod mounts not sure if I want to punch holes in my Jeep just for lighting yet.. keep up the work love the vids y’all keep it up!!!
Looks good. Any Jeep lover would be proud of her.
Wow he really did do a great job on the body work and paint looks nice
Great looking xj brad👍👍
Xj looks great!!
I think the man did a great job, and I like the new color, good choice.
Love the paint job
