Death Wobble Breakdown on my Jeep Cherokee XJ Diesel
Breakdowns are inevitable sometimes and I was lucky with this death wobble incident as I was going fairly slow and a pull-in was nearby.
Since I installed a new trackbar and fabricated an over the pumpkin mount everything has been fine. Gradually over the last three weeks I have had a slight wobble in the steering which resulted in death wobble.
In this video I attempt a trail repair which fails. I do manage to get home and do a proper repair on the setup which means I can get back out camping and exploring.
Thanks for watching.

It always amazes me how my Jeep, its storage and gear constantly evolve the more I use it. It shows me that I am still a long way off but that's all part of the fun. Keeping it simple and versatile has always given me that 'feels right' feeling and as time moves on i'm getting closer.
In this episode I explore part of Ekopark Käringberget here in Northern Sweden. Its a beautiful nature reserve with some good accommodation, view points and hikes with a large body of water passing through it.
In this episode I share with you my first day of a three day trip around the nature reserve where I test out my new setup and get back into the Hammock in a stunning location.

Jeep XJ Leaf Spring Refurbishment
The rear suspension has been riding rough for sometime now. Mainly ever since we lightened the load on the rear after our extended travels to Sweden. Now that the camp gear has lightened up and front suspension setup is performing really well, I wanted to get the rear to articulate but also smooth up the ride much more. The bump stops are also going to need adjusting.

Remote Wilderness Camping in my Jeep XJ (Overland Vlog 3)
In this episode I make my way North East along a logging road that takes me to a series of Lakes where I explore, hike and pitch a camp near one of the smaller lakes. Its a pretty long drive with lots to explore along the way and despite the mosquitos, midges and horse flies they don't detract from the beautiful landscape. The Jeep is performing well although I am already making a mental note of the changes I must make after the summer travels.
I hope you enjoy this video and thanks for watching!

Jeep Camp Gear Setup with No Roof Tent
After my last solo camp trip I removed my Roof Top Tent and made the decision to go back to an light weight MSR ground tent for vehicle based travels and wilderness backpacking.
The Roof Top Tent served Megan and I well when we travelled Europe and lived in the tent for an extended period of time, but now that we have a young son its shortcomings have begin to show. Its long setup and pack away time along side its lack of internal space no longer warrant its weight, drain on fuel economy and the effects it has on vehicle stability. Obviously its all vehicle and roof tent specific but going bigger to accommodate the family means more weight up top.

I have always been an avid backpacker and bushcraft enthusiast and originally designed my vehicle as an adventure Jeep as appose to an overland tourer. Keeping things simple yet robust and carrying the essentials has always sat well with me so using my backpacking gear with the Jeep has helped me ditch unwanted duplication and make the setup more modular.
Thanks for watching.

Solo Jeep Summer Camp in the Roof Top Tent (Overland Vlog 2)
The summer has come around once again and I have geared up the Jeep Cherokee XJ for another duration of travelling, camping and fishing. Although the corona situation has loosened up in 2021 I still intend on spending most of my time on the backroads. The lack of a fridge makes food a little simpler but I am pretty use to it these days.
Despite wanting to move away from the Roof Tent as stated last year I have strapped it back on the Jeep primarily for extra accommodation and family camping. Megan, Myself and our son Max will take a vacation north and Megan and Max will sleep in the Roof Tent while I utilize the Hammock. The Jeep Expedition build will eventually lighten up once we find am affordable and obtainable ground tent option that we both like.
But for now its time to enjoy the summer and plan some waypoints on Gaia GPS.
I hope you enjoy this chilled first episode and thanks for watching.

Why Front Outer Axle Seals Don't Really Work
Jeep Outer Axle Seals for the Dana 30 and other front ends of a similar design can vary quite a lot in price. There are cheap Chinese clones for around £20 and name brands over £100. Its good to know what your getting and how it works before spending the money and outer axle seals cannot work they way they are indented due to the deflection of the front axle shaft when turning.
The axle shafts on front ends with U-Joints can never spin perfectly central due to the nature of the steering knuckle and U-Joint causing deflection on the shaft. This deflection causes the seal on the outer axle seal to be deformed and worn away into an oval shape making it impossible to form a seal around the shaft, keeping water in the housing.
If you do run them and tread water regularly I would pull the seals regularly to release the trapped water or just don't run them at all.
Thanks for watching.

Jeep Cherokee XJ Vehicle Checks Before Camping
In this video I go over some regular vehicle checks before I take the Jeep Cherokee XJ out for offroading, traveling and general exploration and camping. These are the main things I look at and mainly in the winter due to much colder temps and deep snow.
For longer travels around Europe I would almost certainly go over much more given the extra weight but its more about getting to know your 4x4 and what kind of trip your undertaking.

My Jeep XJ Solo Recovery Kit WINTER
In this video I cover my recovery gear for solo traveling and camping in the Jeep Cherokee XJ. I am rarely every with company so being able to self recover my Jeep is absolutely essential for keeping down costs and also my own safety. The summer here in Sweden is warm and dry and conditions are simple rarely requiring any form of recovery. The winter however is very challenging with temperatures dropping as low as -35c sometimes lower. I avoid driving in these lower temperatures to be honest but getting stuck in deep snow and getting hit by wind chill in -15c is a fairly normal situation. So self recovery is a must especially with family onboard.
Most situations I have experienced are solvable with a shovel and the winch but obviously there are times where the saw, axe and other supporting gear are needed to build tracks and get traction. My gear isnt perfect and my experience is limited to what I have experienced. Maxtracks are next on the list.

In this video I install a LHD adjustable track bar for a 4" to 6.5" lift from Maxpeedingrods. My jeep is a RHD so its going to need some adjustments to fit my vehicle by making an over the axle track bar bracket. This should bring the track bar inline with the drag link giving better geometry and eliminating bump steer. It will also improve articulation as on the RHD the track bar can make contact with the dana 30 differential cover if an after market cover is used.

Three Days Family Camping in our Jeep Cherokee XJ (Autumn 2020)
This vide is originally from September 2020 in Autumn in Northern Sweden. We went out for three days with Max our 7 month old (at the time) to give our Jeep expedition setup another go now that Max was bigger. The Roof Tent had gotten a little on the small side with the three of us and were considering moving away from it all together. Our plan was to adapt the ARB awning room (which we have kind of done - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWTIzmTPnn4&t=450s) into a liveable space and trial run it saving weight and gaining full Roof Rack storage for bulky items like bedding, clothing and the awning room.
I thought I would share this trip on the channel as it shows some of the evolution of the setup. I do miss sleeping in the roof top tent when i'm solo. More importantly though it must be removed in winter every year to avoid condensation and mold which has become a bit of a chore. It also adds around 60kg (including bedding) on the rack which I would like to drop for a lighter option.

A Remote Wilderness Winter Jeep Camp (Overland Vlog 1)
Daytime temps are rising above 0c, the snow is round 1 meter deep and its getting heavy so wheeling conditions are tough. I expected a lot of digging, low tire pressures and possibly chains but a set of Maxtrax would have been a good investment. Maybe next time!
I set out in the Jeep Cherokee XJ Diesel to find a winter camping location in the wilderness and test out my winter gear. I have modified the ARB 2500x2500 Awning Room and added a Diesel Heater to adapt it for winter conditions. In this video you join me on a little 4wd adventure, winter wheeling and exploring some of the forest roads in Northern Sweden where I test out my gear and camp out in the mountains.

Jeep Cherokee XJ Offroad Tire Carrier Storage Rack Build
In this video I fabricate a simple Auxiliary Rack from an old lawnmower handle to extend the storage capability of the Jeep Cherokee XJ Tire Carrier.
My main plan was for it to house the Diesel Heater so that it can live up there over winter and swing round to plumb into the awning room. The idea seems to have worked but the strength of the tire carrier hinge is questionable.
Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy the video.

Ammo Can Tool Kit & Socket Set
I have been looking for a solution for storing my Trail Tools and Spares without taking up space in the back or footwells of the Jeep Cherokee XJ. The internal space of the Jeep isnt that big so saving any available space inside the back is always something I'm working on.
A subscriber gave me an idea of stowing the Axillary battery under the rear seats but sadly mine was too large. Fortunately I had two Ammo Cans curtesy of a Dutch friend of mine and they fitted just under the rear seats with enough foam to retain the comfort level for rear passengers.
In this video I cover the Ammo Can Tool Kit and how its made (very simple obviously) and I also cover some of my spares that I carry in the Jeep at all times.

Weather Resistant Diesel Heater Build for Overland Camping
Winter Camping can be pretty tough here in Sweden. Temperatures can range from -5c to as low as -40c across the winter period. Although camping in extreme low temps is not something I seek, I do like to camp down to about -15c over winter. Having a Diesel heater system onboard the Jeep XJ is a great way to create a warm environment in an Awning Room, Ground Tent or Roof Top Tent so that you can escape the bite of winter and warm up yourself and your gear. Diesel heaters also consume little fuel and run on 12v so you can run them through the night provided you have a stout leisure battery and don't run the heater on full power for many many hours.
In this video I take the all in one Chinese Diesel Heater I bought, strip it down and repackage it into a weather proof, self contained unit that can be mounted to my tire carrier or roof rack. These units can be noisy so this build focuses on eliminating pump noise so that you can sleep just to the drone of the intake and exhaust which is far easier on the ears much like white noise.
My only take away from this would be to advise you to move the air intake to the underside of the case so that you get a much better weather resistant unit than mine. I will build a small cowl to cover my intake to aid with sideways rain.
You will find all the gear I used in the description below.

Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx Winter Tire Test
The Jeep is back on the road and the winter tries are on. In this video I take the Studded Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx 35s out on the ice roads and unploughed forest roads to see how they perform. Last year on my 32" KM2 AT's I had a hard time pushing through deep snow so lets see if its any different this year.
Happy new year and thanks for watching.

Building Rear Wheel Well Liners for the Jeep Cherokee XJ
I imagine this video is not for everyone and personally I totally understand why. But if your interested in under armour, splash guards and rock rash protection for an overland style/daily driver build that also tackles moderate off-roading this may be worth considering.
With winter tires on arrival the Jeep XJ is almost ready to leave the garage and head out into the snow for some exploration and camping. The rear quarter panel armor is mounted and the fenders are built but further protection is required to make the vehicle more maintenance free for longer. I am a big believer in putting a physical barrier up between your tires and rock rash provided its done right and in this video I will be building rear wheel well liners for the rear of the Jeep XJ.
Many thanks for watching.

Jeep Cherokee XJ modified Stock Bumper
Its time to remount the modified stock XJ bumper now that the rear tube fenders and corrosion protection are finished. I removed the rear bumper to while cleaning back the old undercoat to reapply the new stuff. While it was off I decided to strip it back and weld up some of the damage that its taken over the past three years. It also got a fresh coat of raptor liner paint.
In this video I mount the bumper but whilst doing that I show how the rear Tie In Brackets work in the back of the frame rail alongside the rear frame stiffeners, tire carrier tow bar and bumper mounts.
This main purpose of the tie in brackets are to replace the factory nut strip with something far more capable of taking the weight of a heavier bumper/tire carrier along with a larger aftermarket spare tire. Adding in a rear frame stiffener will also drastically help with this but you must stiffen the whole frame and not only the back.
Thanks again for watching.

Jeep Cherokee XJ 1999 Door Hinge Reinforcement
Another tedious job on the Jeep Cherokee XJ but a necessary one for long term usage. The door hinge on the drivers door sees a lot of usage over its life and its this specific door that tends ro wear down on the XJ.
In my case when I originally removed the doors for painting I couldn't get the torque head bolts loose due to rounding of the heads and was forced to split all the original pins to remove the doors.
This meant I had to replace all the hinge pins and bushings which are often never as tight as the originals pressed in from the factory. These aftermarket pins come with a plastic spacer that sits between the jaws of the pillar side hinge and its that part that often fails to space the jaws with enough pressure to ensure a tight contact on the hinge. This results in slop and play in the door which can worsen over time.
To fix this issue but still be able to use OEM pins and bushings I have welded in a 8mm ID brake caliper slider that spaces the hinge jaws putting adequate pressure on the bushings and making for a much tougher setup. It also provides a better channel for the pin provided it is greased.
Hopefully this video can help others with the same issue or they can improve on my mods.

Jeep Rust Prevention Products and Controlling Corrosion
Viewer digression, this video might put you to sleep unless you really want to listen to me talk about my rust control experiences on the Jeep....
I was asked by a subscriber to make a video about some of the rust control products I use on the Jeep Cherokee and my experiences with the Jeep XJ Box Rocker mod. I did the Box Rocker mod about 3 years ago and over that time I have made some adjustments over my original install.
I have owned the Jeep XJ for just over six years and the frist two years of its ownership was spent doing restoration and corrosion prevention to the underside, inside the frame, doors, box sections, cavities and seams. It took many many months and many more weekends to chase, cut out, weld in and clean back signs of corrosion. It was at this time that I began using Dinitrol 3125 HS, Dinitrol 447 Protect Super and Testrolseal by Carplan (not sponsored).
These three products have been protecting the Jeep for around four years now and last month I decided it was time to see what was going on under the protective coating.
It took several weeks to strip everything off but once removed I was delighted to see no returning rust or continued growth (for lack of a better word) of existing surface rust.
I think this probably the first time that I felt like I made some progress and wasn't disappointed in the results when It came down to rust control.
I have used other products like prevention primers, converters, oils, paints and encapsulates and sadly most don't live up tp the label on the box.
Penetration and water displacement combined with rust inhibitors is probably why the 3215 HS works so well although I am sure it can be made more effective with thinners and high pressure application through a cavity wax atomizer nozzle which Is how I have applied it this time round.
The key is always in the prep with any product and obviously a shot blaster and complete removal of all rust is the absolute. But this isnt always an option given DIY garage tools, time, resources and the plain fact that rust between seams requires removal of spot welds and seam separation. With the practicalities in mind Rust Control is a more realistic option for a lot of people like me and I am very happy with the results.
Waxes like Dinitrol can put some off as they are known for attracting dirt and being difficult when working on the Jeep. My experience with it has been pretty positive and with several years of off-roading it has always cleaned up back to black with a pressure washer and also been easy to remove with thinners when work in a specific area is required.
Anyway I thought I would share my experiences with these products as many like myself want to stop existing rust, protect and prevent further corrosion from occurring.
Thanks for watching.

How to Fabricate REAR Tube Steel Fender Flares for the Jeep XJ
I recently bought some Quarter Panel Armor for the Jeep XJ with the intention of fabricating some tube steel fenders onto them to match the front fenders I made in a previous video.
In this video I take you through the process of making the tube steel fenders from start to finish. Do note that I am not a fabrication specialist nor a professional, just a DIY enthusiast with a basic workshop and tools who enjoys making things.
Enjoy the video and thanks for watching.

Frontrunner Featherlite Roof Top Tent
Are you considering buying a traditional soft top Roof Top Tent? In this video I share my experiences with my Front Runner Featherlite 1.3 Roof Top Tent. I have owned this tent for almost four years and although I wouldn't consider myself a hardcore overlander with multiple long term expeditions under my belt, I have lived in the tent with my wife Megan for almost three months while traveling Northern Europe. We also camp in the RTT as a family almost all year round and as seasoned campers in general we have gained some good experience in this style of RTT and I thought I would share it in a video.
Overall I think this particular tent is a very good option for people like Megan and I who vehicle camp regularly or plan on traveling for long periods of time. Its also light weight enough to maintain a good center of gravity from the vehicle if you which to tackle technical tracks and trails where the vehicle will be off camber.
I cant see this specific tent being use for long term expeditions in remote locations. I think its reduction in weight has reduced its durability and fabric weight making it susceptible to excessive wear under harsh conditions.
Hopefully this video can be of use to someone and once again thanks for watching.

In this video I do a walk around of my 1999 Jeep Cherokee XJ 2.5 Turbo Diesel. In the video I cover upgraded parts like bumpers, armor, frame stiffeners, sliders, fenders, axles, suspension, OTK steering, winch and the tire carrier. I have made a number of changes to the build since the last walkaround and have spent the summer doing a little traveling and camping in the Jeep.
