Community Spotlight: Adam Schalow’s 1994 XJ Jeep Cherokee

Meet Adam and his 1994 XJ Jeep Cherokee. Adam describes his Jeep build as a “labor of love” and we would agree with him. Adam built his XJ to travel the world with his most extensive modification being an engine swap from the legendary 4.0L inline six to a Mercedes OM617 turbo diesel. To learn more about Adam’s motor swap and to see inside and out, check out our newest Community Spotlight from Overland Expo East!

To follow along on Adam’s travels and adventures, follow him on Instagram @overland_history.
