I wish you all the best with this project. NicoP & Jaco are certainly the right guys for the job.
I understand you want something fun & different, but I would just toss that Ssangyong & build an extreme XJ.
What other Diesel motors will fit if the old 2.5 XJ motor is not reliable or particularly powerful?

Xj is a Suv we do have a tuna
This bakkie is just standing nobody wants it so the we do something with it
And to have a double cab that cab flex like and XJ why not
Yes Jaco and Nico are the two best guys for this build and I trust them

For starters, the XJ is a unibody with rear leafs. The Ssangyong is a ladder frame with multilink rear suspension. So the Ssangyong is closer to a TJ than a XJ in setup.Jaco Jeep wrote:Why would it be a mess
The big issue is cost. It won’t be a cheap build if done properly.

Xj junkie, my point of view. A std XJ is a capable vehicle, but buying a vehicle for 40k end spending 50k on accessories to make it work, not doing it for me. Haggy has the vehicle, i do have the time and parts, and have been building vehicles for 20 years. Why not. The tuna cost 400k second hand, the guys spend 80k on a suspension lift and tires. Where are we going. Be positive and check as we go thru this one.

Lets wait and see. Steel bumpers and rock slidders can change a picture.
