I wish I could buy a sexy blue 2001 XJ with only 103k miles on it in my area for $4,000. Anything that price is going to be a parts car or a "needs repairs" at best. I just had to settle for a 2000 XJ Sport with 185k for $6,500, which was $500 under asking price. But it's what I wanted when I wanted it...
I got super lucky with this one and I think the previous owners didn’t realize the true value and I also bought it right before the prices went crazy back in 2020. At least you got one though, enjoy it!
Hell yah bro sweet video, I recently bought an 2001 Cherokee XJ with 250k. I've been following the order you pretty much have laid out, I need to do tranny oil next. Just did a coolant flush, you should make a video talking about the order of restoration on an older XJ with high mileage! I'd appreciate it man
Ya I’ve heard they can be pretty rough with shipping. Have you tried to order it through a shop that’s a Rusty’s dealer? That’s what I did and they should usually have a better price
All the ones in the Midwest are rusted through The bucket seats are horrible for your hips. 5 minutes of sitting in these things and I can’t do the splits the same day without stretching an hour
Ya a lot of them are pretty rusted out unfortunately, getting hard to find clean ones. Have you thought about changing out the seats if they are uncomfortable for you?
That was the fuel vapor tube that runs from the evap canister to the gas tank area. Here’s a link for the full video on that if you wanna check it out: th-cam.com/video/gNw0YtooYhA/w-d-xo.html
I’ve done much the same with my ‘98 zj, it’s a pretty rewarding process because they respond so well to repairs and proper maintenance. Nice video.
Very true, these things are very reliable as long as you keep up with maintenance and repairs
Good job! It’s all about staying ahead on maintenance and repairs. These are tough Jeeps.
Very true, thanks!
Got a 2000 xj with 198k couple days ago same color as yours. Keep up the good work!
My favorite color on these jeeps, thanks!
Very nice!
Thanks!
Last year of production for the Xj very Cool
Thanks!
You've put alot of TLC into it. I like it.

Thanks for watching! I don’t think I’d change much for what i’d do to an older Jeep with higher mileage.
Nice Jeep but could do without the annoying music.
Appreciate it, just experimenting with different styles of videos
After all the service befor the wheel mods ... what was your mpg ?
I never measured it, not sure
I have a door 2 I’m re doing right now
Sweet! What are your plans with it?
Do you remember where you bought the new moldings for the sides of the XJ? The matte black plastic trim pieces? Would appreciate it. Thanks.
Carparts.com is where I ordered them from and here is my install tutorial if you’re interested: th-cam.com/video/G0tKFzA78Fw/w-d-xo.html
@@KCars thanks! Very much appreciated. My ‘99 will look even better soon.
Happy to help! They definitely make it stand out a lot more now
What size of lift did you install?
3 inch
@@KCars what brand?
Rusty’s
I want to get the rustys kit but shipping is 200 dollars to arkansas😂

What's the size of the tires? They rub? Your XJ and mine are practically twins.
31x10.50 we had to trim the end caps a little bit in the front and they still rub the mud flaps a little when turning
Do you have a link to the led turn signal light and brake lights….thanks.
They’re from onewaylight.com
Thank you
No problem
How’s she doing
Amazing

what kind of trans cooler lines did you buy? can I possibly get a link?
I didn’t do anything with the trans cooler, they’re stock
@@KCars 3:30 then were those fuel lines, brake lines?

@@KCars oh okay I'm in the market for fuel line tysm

I just paid another $2500 for mine to get head sent to shop to be re-pressurized and other crap 😂
Always a project with these things
Nice video. May i invite u to review a halo headlight on ur fantastic Jeep XJ?

@@KCars May i send an Email to u?
