Having a custom built XJ has always been a dream of mine. With the market being so crazy now it seems a little out of my reach. I have much respect for the whole team there at Davis Auto Sports. True craftsman, there are many shops out there but none of them do rebuilds with as much heart as DAS! I look forward and tune in to all of these awesome updates and videos from TX with hopes that I can one day be blessed with an XJ from the crew! Thank each of ya'll for all the hours of film and spectacular work. These videos definitely take my mind off of all the trouble in this world, at least for a few minutes a day.

It's not expensive to build a clean XJ. It's only expensive to have someone else build you one.

Finding one in decent condition here in Texas has been the issue. I've been looking for a while and everything I've come across has been either a rust bucket or wrecked.

This video is meditation for me. I think I rewatch it roughly once a month. Pay homage and sacrifice to the XJ gods and one day, you too can build an XJ this nice.

Absolutely beautiful build! SEMA quality for sure! Love the attention to detail.

Tuner cars everywhere, then you see this bad ass going down the road. 🤪 Thank you for posting.

This channel deserves 1M+ subs. The quality they seem to crank out is up there with ICON out of LA

Shout out to the exceptionally talented team that you have and the work they performed. Wow.

It takes years to put a team like this together. I cringe when I see guys with an impact. But these guys understand finesse!!!!!

You really did such an amazing job. I’m genuinely impressed at how beautiful this came out. Unbelievable!

i’m just in awe at all the hard work that went into this build and the amount of dang filming and editing you must do

Been done countless times 👍

Love it..The XJ is the Best J Wranglers are For Cheerleaders and Yuppies!! Hello from Butler County Pennsylvania the Birth Place of the Jeep and Home of the Heritage Jeep Fest Every Year in June Fathers weekend.

Most beautiful, relaxing video I’ve ever seen. Thank you!

you guys didn't skip anything. ive not seen alot of 100% builds this is amazing!

I own a 97 XJ, I drove it for about two years, wrecked it the day after I graduated high school. Had to basically rebuild the front end of it, but most of the jeep is still original. The original color was the dark forest green type color. With the new body needed, they were aftermarket from Amazon and were black. So I ended up sanding down and repainting the entire jeep in black truckbed liner. It ended up looking really slick. Anyways, nowadays it sits in the yard and I am just waiting to scrounge up the money to do something with it. It also has been a dream of mine to have something of this caliber done to it. You and your guys do amazing work. Would love to have you guys do the same thing to mine!!

Would love to do what you guys do. Amazing work, it must be gratifying as each portion comes together with new car quality

I’ve been rebuilding our XJ since 2016. My now-wife and I bought it while we were dating after someone totaled my parked Chevy K1500. I’ve gotten it resprayed, headlined redone, full suspension refresh/long arm lifted, cylinder head work, and so much more. It’s still a work in motion, but it represents our relationship. We’ve thought about selling it…but whenever we look at it, we change our minds lol

This video is as beautifully produced as that Jeep! Nice job video people! Congratulations, you built the car that Jeep should have built!

That is a beautiful build. I like how unless you’re really getting on it it is super quite.

This is amazing. Outstanding job!

que hermosa restauracion, todo el proceso fue hecho con amor. Excelente video, saludos desde Colombia.

In 2011, I bought a manual (stick) 2000 XJ sport with only 60,000 km on it. It was kept in a basement of a gov. entity for a long time and sold in auction around 25 car almost identical. I was lucky to get one. The break pads was the factory parts with no modifications. I wish if we have hear in middle east a professional workshop like DAS.

What a beautiful build!!!!! 😳😍 I hope to one day own one and build it up

Badass, cleanest and sickest Cherokee I have seen, Very tasteful

I'd love to have one of these from these guys, they do some of the best work with XJ restos.

Dude, absolutely stunning!

absolutely beautiful!!

What a beautiful xj....what a beast bro...love the wheel...

you guys are nuts, this went crazy!

What a great job man!!!, I just saw my dream come true

I really liked your Jeep Cherokee build I wished I could of been part of your team when building. But now I really like how the install of the engine I don't think I've ever seen a V8 installed that clean before. I didn't see the battery under the hood that is nice not seeing the battery there. Then all the detail to the interior that was really nice 👌 especially the seats 💺 I liked the black greay bucket seats 💺 with the Red stitching around all the seams. Then I don't know if you changed out the front or rear axles. They do look really clean. And the 6 speed transmission was a nice addition it would be interesting to know what kinda gas ⛽ mileage the Jeep would get with that transmission. Anyway I'm going now thanks Ray in Idaho. PS keep up that kinda Quality work and stay healthy 👏

I am so jealous. I had two when I was younger I regret getting rid of... this is just gorgeous.... my god

These need to be on the market

My first new car I ever bought was a 1996 Ccountry 4x4. Paid $23000 back then. I pulled jet skis and had a hell of a time with that Jeep. Wish I still had it

Keep coming back to this video Wishing it was mine

I would love to send my 92 to you guys but apparently I got to win the lottery first

Unbelievable love it

That’s a great looking build!

Congratulations great job 👏 👍

Hats off guys Wow wow wow Iam a jeep lover just like your customer ...I just purchased a 1990 jeep Cherokee XJ lorado From California with low miles and delivered it to Canada... Wondering how much the bill costs would love to see you guys for a job like this Thanks for your video and all the team working on this beautiful girl

I have to know. What’s it like to build an xj without junkyard parts? It looks amazing

That is one badass XJ! I've been slowly working on my 96 XJ but it isn't anything near that thing lol

absolutely wonderful

1:00 that looks like a render. So cool!

Stunning 👍😊

Awesome vid!

Buen trabajo ,quedo hermosisima

Nice it’s perfect what breaks did you guys use for it

That’s a nice looking XJ

So clean.

Nice build guys, how did you manage to get the tachometer to work on the original clusters?

Excellent job!

exelent job! just beautiful ! how much did it cost to build it ?

Incredible looking XJ. Where did you get the new door panels? Every set I've seen has sun damage on the upper edge.

Looks AMAZING!!! Approximately how much is a build like this

Great video!

Soo a Lil interested in knowing what modification youre doing to the shifter? The only modification I thought I'd have to do is to the shift gate. But stock linkage works amazing

Wow! Factory gauges even.

Nice work gents !

Unreal build!! One question…why are they working on restored drum brakes in the video but they point out the rear disc setup later.

This a nice conversion 🙌🙌🙌

Beautiful build. I'm curious about no cruise control, though.

Such an awesome build. Is that a custom radio bezel?

واو إبداع عشق لاينتهي لجيب 😍😍

Wow I'll want mine the same

What camera/lens did you use for this? Amazing job filming this awesome build!

This is was amazing. Wow holy toleedah!

can you give detail on suspension i love this setup

Beautiful build the only thing I would have changed is that speedometer. I would like a Whipple charged LS in my explorer third gen

That is beautiful. I only have a 2x4 I want it for looks and driving no off road.

This is the wet dream of every XJ owner. The only thing above this is to make a Hemi Swap with the 6.4L Hemi. But... please, give us a parts list of the build. There are a lot of DIYers like myself that have a build in progress and in my case, I'm not even in the US at all, so it is quite hard to give you guys the rest of the build

Best xj ever

Beautiful

Very nice. Can the LS GM V8 be built with a manual transmission?

I have a 2001 2 door, 2wheel drive, automatic. I’d love to bring to you guys one day. Full redo to make a street ripper, drop a fat engine with fat tires.

May I ask what was the build cost? Fully realizing that each build spec is not identical. What did it run the customer delivered for this XJ? Thank you

I would love to own that beauty

Big $$! Beautiful job.

Amazing job😍

How did you get the stock cluster to work? What ecu did you use as well?

This thing rips holy shxt

@DavisAutoSports, y’all ever think about putting an OM617 in?

Wait a second! You mean those plastic pins that hold the visors are replaceable???? Insane build, by the way. My old girl ('90) wishes she could meet you guys!

Do you guys sell parts like motor mounts and such

The 6.0 seems to fit nicer than the 4.0. Now if I can only convince that owner to gift the Jeep to me 🙂

This is 1 B.A.M.F. !!!!!!! WOW !!!!!!!!!! JUST WOW !!!!!

Art

I would like to know why he put SAE bolts in for the headers. Thread pinch is metric 8x1.25

so sick

Nice

What brand of exhaust headers did you use, or what application?

How did y’all keep the factory cluster? I am fixing to do a ls swap on mine and want to keep factory dash.

How much better would the world be if everything we built and everything we maintained we did so with this much care? Everyone would have less sh*t and everyone would be valued in the work they do.

Are those custom motor mounts? Or are they available for sale?

TTM time,tools,money can fix anything awesome xj.mine is a 96 and i dont have ttm

@DavisAutoSports, how does the maintenance on a vehicle like this work- especially for clients out of state? I don’t imagine you can take an engine-swapped XJ to any old dealer to get an oil change, mechanical maintenance or, especially, repairs.

@UtahCGG

Pretty straight forward. Most shops know how to oil change an LS, and the diagnostics would be about the same as well. Would be fairly easy to find a shop who could work on it. Tho some might try to gouge you since they'd know you have a fkn lot of money invested and may think they could get a piece of that pie.

How did you retain the factory gages... is the 4.0 ecu still in place and just piggy backed? Any tips would help

Wish I knew how much to save up for a near identical build...

I have a 87 mj that I would love to do that build on

How did yall take the dash out in one piece like that?

Ball park how much does the engine swap alone range💰?
