great build. nice to see a backyard build not sponsored and a huge budget.

A 2-4” lift helps too.

Very nice!

Nice great turn around video!

Plan on doing same thing instead of lifting......I'm gonna go one step further and make tube fenders . Great video for inspiration !!!!

That was fun to watch… we had one back in the day… wish we still did…

Big like Very beautiful work

No way would I cut my sheet metal up like that 😳

At some point, I think 1994, YJ’s had galvanized bodies and frames. I have a 1994 that is completely rust free.

A great video, however, I tried 35s on my YJ for a short time. Immediately I could tell the larger diameter tire was causing issues when trying to Stop the Jeep rapidly. I decreased the size tire back to a 33 X 12.50 - 15 tire with the solid 10 inch wide tread stance and found a good medium. I did not have to upgrade the brakes on my stock axles.

It looks good

Yj Jeeps are the best. Hands down in my opinion. Simple Jeep! 92 here. All jeeps are cool though.

Wow you must of got that Jeep for Free the way you cut that thing up. A lift would have solved all your problems.

thank you!

I have a blue one 89. Just like that ! I can put 35's on it ? Wow again !

I has a 73 CJ instead of cutting the body for wheel clearance I made 6" body lifts and it was a lot faster and looked great However nice Job I just bough a1995 YJ it only has a 4 cylinder i don't think I will add larger tires because of the loss of power it will cost on the undersize motor greet video

17:20 sounds like he’s hitting it with a hammer, other then the song tho great restoration! im planning to do mine similar

Either way its looks good with the doors off

I love YJs and TJs and usually, I love watching Jeep restorations/rebuilds, but I honestly had a hard time watching this video. I cannot believe you hacked up that Jeep like that; why didn't you just do a body lift or shock lift instead of destroying the body? To each their own I guess......... any value that had as a YJ is completely gone now.

Personally I would have just put aftermarket fenders but to each their own. Some guys take pride in knowing they fabbed everything themselves.

Was your carpet glued to the floor? I got a 95 YJ the other day and I was thinking of removing said carpet but I noticed it was glued down.

Wicked

ok....NOW it's worth $2000

Nice job! I have to admit watching you cut up that YJ hurt some, but in the end you made a great little crawler! Did you have to do anything mechanical to it as well?

where did you find that metal edge trim?

Was a clean YJ :(

Any chance you still got them stock wheels? I’m in GA, & I’m looking for a set of 5.

destroyed the fenders and hood, made it looks hacked, just to fit 35s without buying a lift? I bet the 3.07s complement the 35s great. tube fender kits are pretty cheap and wont slice your wrist when you walk within 6 feet of them. Haters gotta hate. That thing was mint

wow - this is such horror torture for the restoration jeep crowd. really wish you hadn't sliced it all to pieces. That's gotta be the cleanest YJ interior I've ever seen (resto's not included, obviously) - you were so close to being able to easily do a factory restore and it would have been worth 3x what it is the you did it - and the really sad thing is it's no loner a candidate to do that. *facepalm*

The front looks similar to the original Willy's jeep now.

What about a spare tire?

No way those tire don't rub??? I does not look as though you have much clearance? I did notice the fuel lines looked new? I think? or just clean?

Looking at your purchase on that JEEP for $2000.00 ..................... I would have to say that you paid $1900.00 too much. Just saying!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But you did do a good job on restoration .

Destroyed a great jeep. Could have been great.

What about a cheap and simple shackle and/or body lift? You wouldn't have ruined the hood and side profile. Now the sheet metal doesn't even match. Sorry man. But that was the WRONG thing to do. You butchered it.

2 minutes in and you're still playing that horrible music. SMH 17 minutes later... Wtf? You are a licensed DEALER?
