The expression of your son is priceless. Love seeing how much fun you and your friends were having . I need to ask you on IG the names of two particular trail obstacles

So nice to see YJ content that isn't about bashing on them.

Thanks! Yeah I don't want to bash it, have fun, yes, break and body damage. Nope. 😂

Dont bother with lockers in the factory axles, get some swaybar disconnects if you dont have any. Or just pull the sway bar off. Mud tires not any kind of all terrain. Mud tires, east coast wheeling requires a mud terrain of some kind. Flatbelly skid, and SYE. Get all the travel you can out of the leaf springs, then drive it. Your skills and learning to pick the right line will improve greatly. Lockers are awesome, but make it more of a point and shoot jeep and take the challange and learning out of a lot of it. Looks like fun, miss my YJ.

I had a YJ for many years, I would like to own one again. But my new 2 door JL reminds of my old YJ because of the open diffs and horrible ride on the street and convertible top…I keep telling my wife the ride is not that bad as my old YJ.

Haha. But there’s still something awesome about them.

Please drop some lunchbox lockers in that YJ. They call them lunchbox, because they can be installed in around an hour, by anyone. You should do a video about it. The front ones never cause an issue, because when you are in 2wd on the pavement, they do nothing because there is no drive (torque) pushed through them. Sometimes they click in the rear when going around sharp corners, but I think the YJ is a perfect platform to run them. Check out Spartan and Powertrax for some good options. They are 100% mechanical, so no electrics or compressors needed, and they run standard gear oil. They also do not require you to regear, so you do not have to fine tune or adjust anything. Just pull the spider gears and drop in the lockers. They automatically unlock to let the outside wheel “over-rotate” when cornering.

Looks like a fun day! Time for some new shoes! If you want to stick with AT's, look into Falken Wildpeaks, they are very good. Or the falken RT which is still an AT/ hybrid but more aggressive, almost into mud tire territory but not quite.

Good video man. I have a 89YJ and absolutely love it. I tossed out the track and sway bars and welded my diffs. Then changed the vacuum disconect to a cable. I would suggest roll cage or factory rollbar extentions with a pillar bar. My wife rolled mine and the winshield collapsed. So i built a full cage. I have the 2.5 with 5.13 gears on 37s. I am out west mostly rock crawling. I also did spring over (SOA) ive run the rubicon and most of the time we are running johnson valley trails. King of the hammers trails. I love to see yjs out there wheeling hard. Keep up the good work man i look forward to aeeing what all you do to it. Stay safe and happy trails 👣

Thank you so much. Your YJ sounds awesome. Are you running that gearing and tire size on the stock Dana 30 and 35?

@adamshartley

Ай бұрын

@@SimplyMustGo stock dana 30 but replaced the 35 with a 8.8 after breaking an axle. Just swapped to the 37s so we will see how the 30 holds up but i wheel pretty hard. So i may end up going back down to the 35 in tires. I wheel with dirtnation on YT. The black yj if you get a chance to watch any of the videos.
