It’s been one of our least expensive projects ever and now that it’s done, we’re taking our Project Cheep Cherokee out to Kentucky’s beautiful Land Between the Lakes Recreation Area for some off-road fun and challenge! We’ll roll over everything from the highway to get there to the roughest dirt trails and even take on the boulder-strewn “Rock Garden” to see just how far our budget XJ will take us.

THANK YOU NSO MUCH. I LOVE DIRT CHEAP BUDGET BUILDS. THAT IS WHAT HOT RODDING IS ALL ABOUT. GREAT VIDEO AND A GREAT BUILD. THANKS FOR SHARING.
Do yall really talk like this? Like in every day life?? 😂
Feel like im watching a 70's California surfing documentary.
It’s a disappointment that y’all went with a 33in tire after all those upgrades you shoulda stuffed 38’s and showed it’s true potential and how the motor could handle those bad mothas!
I have a full dom tube exocage. 36” irocks 9” spooled Dana 44 and air locker. And I spent 6k. Cmon. This is not budget lol
“Budget “
it's super annoying that this doesn't have it's own playlist instead of having to try and find the episodes in all the rest of them.
11:30 add a driver's side window to the total. Looks like not everything stayed in one piece.
Lol that wasn't no elk
This looks like it was filmed when the Xj came out.
What happened to the episode where it got dynoed the second time? How much hp and torque did the stroker make?
Why is it everybody skips bump stops when they lift their vehicle if you move up a couple inches with your suspension you had a couple inches of Bump Stop
I hope they put all these xj videos into a full build playlist
I'm sorry is this an offroad enthusiast video or a gov PSA?
Good luck
Good job
Holy Christ! did you here that Nazi thug? Its a privilege to use public property, its not a right. Make sure you have all your commercial documentation with you, tabs, permits, licenses. This how they brain washed us folks! Put a nice guy in a special costume that looks important to get you to take your rights for granted. The People Own the United States of America!
You should add frame stiffeners or your going to end up tearing the uniframe up
12:09 is very interesting… in the mountains of NC, they just closed ALL of the trails (thousands of miles of trails) instead of transitioning to a public trail system. they spent loads of money digging deep holes, putting up gates, and then just started handing out tickets to anyone they catch on the other side 🙁
As long as you did the cooling the right way it will run forever
I tried so hard to watch this but the cheesy narration was too much for me. To each there own.
I do miss Turkey Bay
Ya, whatever ya do don't use an oak tree to straighten your stuff , like people have done successfully for 100 yrs…
I really regret getting rid of my Suzuki Samurai…😑
That area looks great too visit.
Ditch the fender flares…
😁✌🖖👌👍 😎
Literally love the xj , can’t wait to get on to building mine up
That's amazing considering the newest Jeeps have the lowest reliability rating of any vehicles in the world,
That was a fallow deer not an elk
