An off-road enthusiast from India shared his experience in modifying his 1999 MM550 XDB Jeep. He found the Jeep very functional since he used to drive his relatives anywhere they wanted. But still, the Jeep did not look stunning enough to impress people who looked at it. Because his family expected another car with no 4x4 type, they gave the Jeep to him either for him to use it or for him to sell it. He tried to sell the Jeep, but that did not run smoothly since the Jeep seemed in the very bad shape. Realizing that, he decided to do something to it and the fact that he was fond of the Jeep was an enough reason to keep it with him. That was when he started to modify 1999 MM550 XDB Jeep.
Since the engine and the body mechanicals have been taken care of very well, he did not do anything with those things. However, the body was in a very terrible condition. Thus he went through some modifications, such as replacing the old Battery with Bosch 80amph RS. 6.200, replacing the old glow plugs with RS 1.000, modifying body works and new bushes were installed, painting the Jeep with a metallic kinetic blue shade, and replacing old front bumper, indicators, and tail lamp assemblies with the new one.
The things he would like to be done to make the Jeep in its top performances are changing radiator, engine, and gearbox flushing. He also would like to repair the suspension without replace it with the new one and change the front propshaft since the noise it produced in the certain rpms. Besides, he would like to upgrade the tires since it was the ancient sets of crossplies and he would like to soundproof and heat proof the Jeep since he intended to drive the Jeep around the city he lived in. He wished that 1999 MM550 XDB he have been modified will perform greatly for both on-road and off-road. At least he expected his Jeep to perform 80% well on-road and 20% well off-road.
