I've been building this Jeep for over 10 years, and a subscriber asked me about the choices I regret and the things I would absolutely do again if I started again. I thought It was a great idea for a Q&A as I know quite a few guys on Instagram who have bought Jeep XJ's and are wondering where to start.
You'll have to forgive that I'm not my usual humours self on this video. I've been pretty unwell, and the meds are pretty heavy. The syphilis unfortunately spread to my eyes, which is pretty bad, but on another note, it did enhance my vision, allowing me to select my victims more easily.
Although the Jeep XJ isn't as common as it used to be, the principles in this video can be applied to any older 4x4 vehicle.
Megan and I are waiting for a new baby any day now, so I thought this was a good time to do a video like this.
Thanks for watching and for all your support!
Mike
