Here at DAS, we have been building and restoring Cherokee XJs since 2010 and have produced well over 500 Cherokees. A handful of those builds over the years truly stand out as our most premium work, and this particular Cherokee has just earned a place on that short list. Once or twice a year we showcase our capabilities with a top-tier build, and this Jeep exemplifies that commitment to excellence. We invested well over 1,500 hours into this XJ, adding countless custom touches throughout. The interior alone represents more than 350 hours of meticulous labor, featuring our custom leather and plaid seats, a one-of-one DAS door panel set, a bespoke leather-wrapped dash, and numerous other refinements. If you are searching for perhaps the most complete Cherokee XJ ever built, look no further—the spec sheet for this XJ speaks for itself, complemented by exclusive DAS parts found throughout.

WEEKS 1 - 6
Our repaints here at DAS are not your typical high volume body shop paint jobs, as you see in the photos below, we talk the body all the way down to bare metal and start from scratch. This is a very time consuming approach but is the only way have gorgeous paint for years and years. As shown below once the metal is exposed, we removed all the dents, dings, and damage. From there we apply 2k primer for a first coat which is blocked and sanded down as a preliminary primer coat. From there we apply a 2nd coat which is then followed by another full sanding and blocking for a perfectly smooth panel with no waves. A final Primer with a guide spray is applied which is then sanded flat leaving that panel ready for its color. What you see in the photos below is just the body work, once the body work is done, the panels will come off the Jeep to receive a final prep before they are painted and clear coated which they get spray off the jeep for no tape lines and a better than factory finish.
WEEKS 7 - 10
Once 95% of the the prep work is completed, the last 5% takes nearly as much time as the first 95% which is why most shops skip over this. Fine sanding and meticulous final prep before the jeep gets its color.
WEEKS 11 - 12
As you see, all panels are painted off the Jeep for a better than factory finish. We use best primers, sealers, base and clear on the market for years and years of perfection. The back side of the Jeeps panels get just as much base and clear coat ( 2 coats and base and 2-3 coats of clear) as the front with ZERO tape lines. The factory will blend the back side and not have this quality of finish.
WEEKS 13-18
The body panels will not be installed and will remain on stands while the Jeep enters our technician department for its FULL mechanical build. The build sheet on this jeep is very impressive.
WEEK 19
The Jeep finally hit the ground and had all the new suspension and steering aligned and torqued
WEEKS 20-27
The Jeep rolled into your our final assembly department for its full interior completion and body assembly. As you see we gutted the interior and as you see the floor pans are flawless. We started with a full dynamat of the entire floor, roof and doors and rear quarter panels. We also started our custom seats that we are creating in-house with a gorgeous plaid insert which we will continue throughout the interior for those perfect DAS touches. We will also began to install our full custom sound system, carpet, leather panels and much more.
WEEKS 26+
While the interior is getting done, we performed a full paint correction service on the Jeep to knock down any orange peel from its new paint job. We will be applying a nice ceramic tint to the glass before going in.
