I am in the middle of a restore of my 98 TJ. I lined the whole tub with stick on sound deadened, a lot of work but worth it. You did a great job on the carpet, a lot of work. Now I'm onto the paint job, another big job.
Just came across your build! Excellent! I am actually your Neighbor from up the road with the silver 2 Door JL. There’s nothing like the feeling of accomplishment after tooling on your vehicle! Hopefully I’ll see you out and about. Take care!
Enjoyed this. I just started what u have done. Heater core has been leaking, so I removed the carpet. Well, pass side foot pan wasnt as bad as yours. I'll be doing the same process you did. I'm also going to use soundproofing/heat Matt AND then new carpet. Your jeep turned out great!!
Excellent craftsmanship. I want to see what happens when you disconnect the strut that tilts the bed in order to get more room to work on the engine. None of the bumper companies can answer this question. Also,these cargo beds are attached to the frame with plastic hinges. They will break if you back into something hard.
Completely unnecessary...all you needed to have done was to put some heat on those bolts first to soften the patch loc in the threads. Simple hand ratchet would have removed them.
A roller really. That’s what they did to the Jeep I bought omg sand all that orange peel off primer sand and primer base coat then clearcoat and sand the clearcoat with 1000
@@jayceeb7396 Thank you for passing that along, this thing looks great! is the tremclad what you also used on your door hinges as well? It looks like a flat black?
picked up one of these last year. Did you add the lid for the front toolbox? Or was that on it when you got it? Next work I need to do is replace the tires.
I get many who want to know what is the perfect build. Which is not easy to answer because everyone does different things with their Jeep. But I wanted to share mine since my '05 TJ Rocky Mtn drives and handles absolutely amazing on and off road. Keep in mind, I'm not a rock crawler, I'm an adventurer who takes the family beach wheelin, beach camping, surf fishing, and we hit fun, moderate trails in the fall and winter. Which is why the build is for what's near, nothing was put on this TJ unnecessarily for show. I see too many "spotless Jeeps" with 35's - 37's. As long as you have good off road instincts and common sense, a modest, high quality build will allow you and your family to have a lot of fun! All in, I'm at $25k with my '05 TJ Rocky Mtn. And I can honestly say I'm done, build wise. I might Raptor line it since the TJ has a few rough paint spots and won't ever have to worry about off road pinstriping again. The best part is, this TJ not only keeps up, but just outperforms most of these $40k - $75k JL' s. The '05 TJ has a modest build, yet is extremely capable, durable and affordable. I encourage any Jeeper to search for a rust free TJ 4.0 I6, preferably stock, 3.73's w/ LSD and a Dana 44. And to use my build as a "guide". It was a lot of trial and error but it has been worth it. 2" Old Man Emu coils 32" KO2's or 32" BFG MT's Quadratec Baja alloy rims - perfect backspacing - no rub!

One of my favorite mods was added a Banks cat back exhaust giving it a throaty growl, but not obnoxiously loud. Absolutely perfect for the 4.0 I6. Most importantly, be honest with yourself, build your TJ for what you will be using it for. And DO NOT let the aftermarket pushers fool or shame you into thinking you "need" 35" - 42" tires and a 4" - 6" lift to wheel. That's 🦬💩! Like cereal companies saying breakfast is the most important meal of the day, the self serving aftermarket will continue to take advantage of the misinformed. O|||||||O 🇺🇲 Only in a 2 Dr 🇺🇲 '41- '06
Wow! Canadian content and the sounds of an impact, not crap music. This is the first Jeep rebuild I have found that features the sounds of a rebuild, not the sounds of a Liverpool Rave in '94!

Love your rebuild. I commented on your build before and told I told you I was raptor coating my TJ due that we live in the desert. Want to share a slide show on my finished restoration. Take car. Watch "March 22, 2022" on RU-vid ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iEImvXpdJ1c.html
Hey…A fellow New Brunswicker with a Jeep TJ… (From your friend’s accent, it sounds like you’re somewhere North of Moncton)…Mine is a 2006…(I’ve had it since new)… I just came across your video and thought I’d have a look…I’m down in SJ… I’ll be curious to know where you got most of your parts…It’s getting harder to find genuine Mopar parts, some of which I prefer, because they fit better. I did manage to get some Mopar fenders, to replace the two original that have started to rust. I’d also be curious to know where you got the half doors. They’re difficult to find, but look like they’re in good shape!
This man possesses over 40 different skilled trades in this one video... This is what I need to see so I can head down in the garage and start my TJ restoration
Man I just watched your video of the restoration on your TJ awesome job just goes to us older guys don't need any big fancy shop and we get stuff done when we get stuff done and are proud of the work we have done thanks for sharing this
GREAT Restoration my friend! I just bought a '97 TJ and am getting the notion to strip it down to the metal inside and put that rubber coating like you did! what was the product name?
Great job! Can you tell me what Dupli Color Vinyl & Fabric paint color # you used as there are various shades of gray? Thanks and the Jeep looks awesome!,
