Megan and I spent four months living in the jeep XJ while we traveled North into Scandinavia and in this video we recap the suspension, bodywork, bumpers, axles and structural changes of the build prior to our departure seeing how the mods performed. We also take a look at improvements made after the trip in preparation for the cold winter and future trips in 2019.

In Part 2 we recap internal modifications made to the jeep prior to the trip but mainly we focus on the vast improvements made to the internal storage drawers and cargo area as well as the gear carried in the vehicle and how its organised.
