Jeep 3 Link Long Arm Suspension Build
Time to build a 3 link long arm suspension with crossmember for the Jeep XJ. Also dial in Caster, Camber and Pinion Angle.
I've run short arms for 10 years and now that I've got the green light on some long arms I'm building a new crossmember and three link setup using DOM tubing, 1.25" and 7/8ths chromoly rod ends along with poly bushings to try and find some good offroad and on road performance.
Its an ambitious and involved project for me and my basic workshop but hopefully the end results are worth it.
Thanks for watching,
Mike

Diagnosing My Bent Axle, Bad Wheel Alignment And Fixing Them With Some Much Needed Upgrades
Diagnosing a possible bent axle on the Jeep XJ's Dana 30 HP has been on the cards since returning from a recent trip. I suspected a bad wheel alignment, but I don't think that's all of the problem. A lot of work is on the horizon, Truss, C Gussets, Long Arms and Cutting and Rotating the C's, but first I need to fis the immediate issues so I know what to do next.

Engine Knock Diagnosis & Fuel System Rebuild - (Ep02: 1990 Jeep XJ 4.0 Restoration)
In the Ep01 I manage to get the 1990 Jeep Cherokee XJ Started. It nocked badly and the engine sounded terrible when idling. In this episode I try to diagnose the engine knock, fix if possible and reinstall the fuel system to get the Jeep running off its own tank.
Its getting close to driving and I have possibly got some tires to go on in Ep03.
Thanks for watching!

Bringing a 1990 Jeep XJ 4.0 Back To Life : Ep01 First Start In 14 Years
In this episode I try to get the 1990 Jeep Cherokee XJ 4.0 Renix started, I was told its been dormant for 14 years so I am unsure of its condition but its worth a try to see if this old thing still runs.
I don't know much about this engine but its clear that the electronics that govern the engine are dated, but there also very simple in some way and it shouldn't be that hard to figure them out.
Once I get the electronics working I need to revamp the fuel system. Its got very old fuel in and hopefully I can clean it out and get it going.
Anyway I hope you enjoy the episode and thanks for watching.

I Bought A Second Jeep Cherokee XJ: Parts Donor Or Restoration?
I've bought another Jeep Cherokee XJ and its a 1990 4L Auto Transmission with an NP242, Dana 30HP and a Dana 35 Rear. Its not in the best of condition given its been sitting around outside for a long time. As you may know if you watch the channel, I have an XJ already that I use regularly for adventure based camping and overland adventures. I would like to keep my Jeep going for many years to come so having a donar was always something to look out for.
Its a LHD Pre Facelift with a totally different drive train, but there are still lots of transferable parts like doors, windows and other things that could be swapped if needed. On the other the other hand its a complete Jeep that i could get running and restore for the family, a project for my son as he gets older, or a basic 4wd for Megan who has always wanted her own 4x4. It will be a lot of work to get it cleaned up but I am still undecided.
In this video I do walkaround of the Jeep.

Solo Jeep Camping & Fishing, Cooking Fresh Fish for Dinner (Overland Vlog 16)
This was one of my favourite camps this summer. A few days and two nights exploring, camping and fishing around my local area. Caught some nice fish for dinner including some success on grayling with the fly rod.
I generally prefer winter camping as the challenges with driving, conditions and environment are really enjoyable. But the fishing over summer cannot be beaten so its good to get some fishing in before the deep freeze comes.
Thanks for watching and for all your support.
Just as a side note, I didn't out music to the driving sequence on this one. When using music I have to listen to hundreds of tracks and it takes several hours to find a song. et me know what you think of the no music on the driving. I personally like it more because its more real.

12 Month Review of The WILDLAND DESERT CRUISER Roof Top Tent (Testing in -28c to +28c)
I Bought the Wildland Desert Cruiser 140 Aluminium Roof Top Tent one Year ago and I have used it extensively through Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer. Its performed very well in extreme cold and also very well in the summer months and wetter windy seasons.
Its an excellent tent in its looks, build quality, design and function and I think its fits my Jeep XJ really well.
I solo camp for a large majority of the year and in the summer we travel as a family of three and we are really enjoying the comfort, space and ease of setting up and packing away the tent.

Jeep Cherokee XJ 2.5 TD HEAT SOAK and Performance Degradation with Some Pre Trip Maintenance
I've been testing my custom turbo, manifold and intercooler setup over the last winter and its been performing well. Now that i've adjusted the manual VE Pump timing the Jeeps power feels balanced between the top and bottom end and the exhaust gas temperaturs are consistent and stable. Last month I did a trip to the mountains and the outside temps were around 28c. The jeep worked hard all day and it began suffering with heat soak with increased etg's and coolant temps. Since bringing it back in the shop I noticed my waterpump making a clicking sound, a smal hole in one of my intercooler couplings and a worn out viscous fan clutch. Obviously this would probabaly explain my issues, especially the intercooler hose with a hole in it as this would contribute to higher egt's which would have a nock on effect with everything else.
One of the issues with building custom setups like mine are teething issues and testing. I am going to go back to my old intercooler for a period of time to see how it performs on longer trips. I feel like my same side cooler is hindering the system with turbulence and possibly more susceptible to heat soak.
Thanks for watching.

Solitary Solo Lake Camp in the Jeep Cherokee XJ (Overland Vlog 15)
Its almost the middle of summer, the flies are heavy and its 24 hour daylight. I'm back out in the Jeep Cherokee XJ exploring two areas I have not been too in this episode. I'm looking for some solitude and somewhere to take out the Seahawk inflatable to get some fishing in.

Solo Jeep XJ Adventure Camping & Fishing (Overland Vlog 14)
This video documents a couple of days of a multi day solo trip camping in my Jeep Cherokee XJ Overland Build. I'm driving, exploring and fishing a small river in the north of the country. The river runs for many miles but I just follow a small section in this video.
The start of summer has been very wet and windy and today is no exception. Fortunately the wind dies down and the tracks are no issue.
I hope you enjoy this segment of my excursion and thanks for watching.
Mike

Revisiting my GT2052 Turbo Build for the Jeep Cherokee 2.5TD....Because I Killed the Turbo....
A begrudged rebuild of my GT2052 Turbo on the Jeep Cherokee XJ 2.5TD. I used the wrong material hose for the oil drain on the last build which resulted in the pipe expanding and collapsing causing a complete block of oil returning to the sump. This caused a huge build up of oil pressure in the turbo which compromise the seals, spewing oil out of the exhaust and intake. Fortunately not enough to cause a run away.
You live and learn!

Installing Solar Panels on my Jeep Overland Roof Top Tent Wildland Desert Cruiser
In this video I install x2 100w Solar Panels onto my Roof Top Tent. The Wildland Desert Cruiser is a hard shell aluminium tent but I didn't want to drill any holes in it so I build a frame from the load bars.
We plan on some longer trips this summer possibly into Finland so having energy in when stationary will be a big plus over last summers travels.
These panels are around 200 USD currently with an huge discount on Eco flows web shop. Here in Sweden they are over 7000SEK which is ridiculous as expected but you can order them from Poland where you will only pay 3000SEK.
They have generated to date 191w which is impressive. Now that we are approaching summer here in the Nordics it will be daylight 24 hours so power in shouldn't be an issue.
Thanks for watching!

Jeep Cherokee XJ Interior Molle Plates by Trail & Company
In this video I install interior Molle Panels in my Jeep Cherokee XJ. Trail & Company have kindly sent me these plates to sponsor the XJ build and I am extremely grateful!
These plates are CNC cut and they are designed to fit onto various parts of the interior trim on the XJ. The front and rear doors, rear split window, A pillars and center console. They also have a large overhead console plate although this will not fit my model of jeep.
I have provided a link below so you can check them out. This is not an affiliate.

A Really Nice DOT SAE 5x7 LED Headlight With Turn Signal from LOYO: Jeep Cherokee XJ Install
These are the nicest 5x7 LED Headlights I have seen to date that fit the Jeep Cherokee XJ. They are DOT SAE Certified and are VOR so the beam is Z cut for driving on the right hand side of the road.
Forgive me for installing another set so soon, but they shinny's were too strong this time. Jokes aside I wanted to use these because they give a much better driving experience than the previous pair in not blinding on coming traffic, or being too bright. Its a clean looking headlight with a more modern look so it wont be for everyone, but personally I really like them.
A big thanks to LOYO for reaching out and there is an Affiliate link below if your interested.

Painting my Jeep XJ Tire Carrier with Upol Raptor Liner
In this video I paint my Jeep Cherokee XJ Tire Carrier Project with Upol Raptor Liner and install it on my Jeep. Raptor Liner is a truck bed liner two part paint that gives a durable and good looking finish. I tend to use it on accessories like armor, bumpers, sliders and parts that see abrasion and impacts. In this video I finish off the bumper project and cover some tips on using Raptor Liner to get good results for Home and DIY projects.

Building a Lighter Weight Tire Carrier for my Jeep Cherokee XJ Overlander
In this video I build a swing arm tire carrier bumper for my Jeep Cherokee XJ. Its a short arm design with a rotating head that keeps the tire compact to the Jeep. This build incorporates the original tire carrier mechanism I used previously but this new design combines the bumper and tire carrier into one unit and shaves off 20kg.

Solo Winter Deep Snow Camping in the Diesel Jeep XJ (Overland Vlog 13)
I am Solo again Snow Camping in the Jeep Cherokee XJ Adventure Rig.
00:00 - Introduction
01:08 - Offroad driving start
10:33 - Setup camp
21:30 - Night time lapses
23:55 - The next day
Winter is coming to and end and the snow at this point is deep and dense. I find a semi ploughed forest road that leads up into a small mountainous area where I will spend a night camping.
The road is pretty long though with lots of steady inclines and heavy snow. 4psi of tire pressure and chains will be needed to get to the top as traction is going to be an issue.
Braking down out here would be a very bad thing so driving carefully and monitoring the vehicles condition is important.
I hope you enjoy this video and thanks for watching.

Solo Winter Camping In The Diesel Jeep XJ (Overland Vlog 12)
I am back out again Solo Overland Camping in the Jeep Cherokee XJ Adventure Rig.
Now that the front axle and T-case are built up on the Jeep I'm back out again camping for a couple of nights in a remote area I have only passed by on previous journeys. This network of roads passes by a huge lake with many old stories around it. The snow is wet and heavy and the Northern Lights are very active. Its a fantastic time to be in nature.

Jeep Cherokee XJ Dana 30 Upgrade Weld In Inner Axle Sleeves
Its time to upgrade the Dana 30 a little bit more. The Sleeves from Iron Rock Offroad have arrived along with some cheapo outer seals from Bandai.
These are the final mods to the front Dana 30 High Pinion! Hopefully its a while before I have to visit it again but then again it is a Jeep....
