1994 Jeep Wrangler YJ Rebuild: A True Trash-to-Treasure DIY Project 

That is one good looking YJ. Well done. Love the paint.

I’m currently rebuilding my 89 wrangler. Wish me luck

How much money did you sink into the restoration? It’s beautiful 😍

This motivates me. I'm ready to build me own.

I have loved the paint job the texturizing of the green paint is wonderful. Overall the Jeep looks like a true Jeep not some freak of nature people mod out.

This is sick man; great work to both of y’all.

Where did you get the new door panels? I need a set same color.

Man I love the YJ.

Do you ever dream of a place where a lot of people drive mostly jeeps from all generations from the ww2 to the most latest jeeps of all. I remember back then my grandpa told me that they were more ww2 jeeps than any other latest and vietnam war era jeeps being driven back then not just american jeeps you could see. But also some japanese type ones like the toyotas and Mitsubishi and also korean ones too. Even today there is still a factory to this day that still manufactures ww2 and vietnam war era jeeps to this day. A lot of people still drives jeeps today in my country 🇵🇭 including the iconic passenger jeepney too. Even though that jeepneys and old jeeps are not allowed to be driven on big cities and you can only see them in rural, mountainous and remote areas. For the fact that many people here now drive pickup trucks and SUV but for me they'll never beat the old jeeps here they can be fixed at any repair shops rather than a fancy service center!

Nice start , some changes you might consider are, TJ flares, allow you to open the wheel well for more articulation room. Sway bar disconnects to improve front axle articulation. Cut a hole in rear floor above gas tank so you can get to fuel pump without dropping the gas tank. Get rid of slip yokes and go to telescoping drive lines, stronger and better as the jeep grows. ROCK SLIDERS! gas can carrier, nothing worse than having 5 gal extra gas in the cab and getting sick from the fumes There are lots of changes , but don't be in a hurry. Have had my yj for 18 years, never gets old or done. Look it up on you tube, " Wes drives over a car ". Give you insight into yj as to what can be. Just empty every pocket is what JEEP MEANS.

You drive my dream jeep 🤌 YJ, tan interior, army green, synthetic rope winch, absolute perfection

Ok so I've got the same jeep and it was the first car I bought! Now I'm looking to do what you did! Can you help me and my 17 yo son do a DIY project this summer?!? I feel like I would need more help than just the video!!! :)

Nicely done. I have a 94 with the 4.0 HO and I have to tell you it's a great vehicle. You and your wife did a great job on this one...

Well i have no problem buying one here in my country 🇵🇭 because there are a lot of them to not just a 90's wrangler jeep but also some other brands that make jeep like vehicles and you can choose from ww2, vietnam war era, 70's,80's and 90's one too!!!

Good job !! however if you want to know what is a "total loss" is, come to canada, rust killed many of those yj......

Do yourself a favor and loose the front and rear track bars... No need for them ,and it will ride and handle soooooo much better... and the anti sway bar... get rid of it...

Jeez--- you paid money for that thing?? Haha. What a adventure.

What does it cost to do this? I’ve got a damn good looking YJ and I would absolutely love to restore this

very nice... what rims are those for your Ecopaths?

Could you replace the roll bar with the one that was on the 87-91 wrangler?

Randomly found another Wyomingite on RU-vid!

How does the superlift kit ride? I've been thinking about getting the same kit for my Jeep

Can I ask how much of the monsaliner you used? Is a one gallon kit enough to do the exterior?

Nice job! Has the monster coating held up?

badass!!! 1000x1000 x better than new jeeps!!!!!!!!

My first Jeep was a 94’ YJ, I regret selling it every day!

It really turned out sweet!! The fact that your wife helped.... priceless!!

Looks awesome. Would look awesome-er in some 35s tho

Tube bumpers suck!

Do you mind sharing what you paid for it?

Can we get AR500 to make the doors

How much money was used during this

How much to restore something like this?

How did you drive that thing home omg

I just bought back my 92 Renegade that I drove back in high school in 04, I can’t wait to work on her! Thanks for the inspiration!

I will be posting my own 1993 wrangler soon

я не понимаю по-английски, но из видео понял, что люди вложили очень много труда и сил в эту машину. А главное, что они это делали с душой. это заслуживает лайка, как минимум. Удачи вам!)

What lift brand did I you use?

How much money did you spend??

Good job, I also did a full restauration of my 92 YJ:-)

Our 93 was Lined and we love the satisfaction of, No more small dings or scratches & No worries of rust and having to wax or buff!!!

Absolutely fantastic job! Great to see so much love poured into a Jeep and even greater to see it come to fruition. I’m very inspired :)

What is the color code?

What's the song?

Thanks for the inspiration, I just got a 95 YJ and it to needs some real work but I will be patient and will complete the project!! Thanks again..

I'm so jelous. I sold my 89 Jeep Wrangler Sahara when I left the navy. Now I'm looking for the same thing :(

Very nice!

Great video, Intellitronix make a direct fit LED gauge cluster for the CJ, YJ & TJ

The rear half of the tub is almost identical to the tub on my 1948 CJ-2A. It's amazing that the design changed very little after 46 years!

I just bought a 1994 yj 4 cylinder 4x4. for 4500. Needs a lot of elbow grease (door seals, exhaust work , interior work, new windshield.) But drives down the road great . I used to own a 1996 cherokee and the steering is way tighter in this yj. Cant wait to start working on prettying the thing up.

I love Jeeps & grew up @ end of CJ era (even owned a few in my youth.) After yrs of bad mouthing YJs as "Yuppie Jeeps" etc., 4 yrs ago I bought a near mint 94. I take back all my previous stupid comments about the YJs. I LOVE my 94. An added plus, I bought it when price point for YJs was low & now they keep rising in value!

Leaning hard towards purchasing my first wrangler. Have always loved the YJ. Honest opinion- ‘94 YJ 115k miles, new tires, needs shock body mount. Owner Asking $2k. Should I pull the trigger? (Afraid I’ll lose my shirt replacing body mount)

Looks great! I just got a yj. It's not horrible but had definitely seen better days but I'm hoping to rebuild it over the years

Well since Nobody seems to want to buy my 88 YJ with 62000 original miles on it I guess it’s time to do a frame off restoration it’s gonna take a lot of time and money but I refuse to just let it rot away to rust just because of the frame, it has always got me where I needed to go so I guess it’s time to make her better then ever

Awesome video!Thank you for posting!

I want to roll line my whole 94 YJ Wrangler. Is it very difficult and what grit sand paper?

65 hours? That’s a lot less than I expected

Can you tell me which mirror brackets you used? I have been looking for something like that for a while. '95 YJ

Wow

The winch needs a fairlead my friend, beautiful work on your YJ, my respects

I’m 18 and this is my dream car I want this car because it’s so like fun and this model is a classic I love it💕

Very good job. Congratulations👍

Can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched this bideo

I’ve only hear bad things about the yj but I bought one and I really like it she hasn’t failed me yet

More impressed you had a wife that helped, that’s awesome… things like that help build a good marriage. It looks great, your gonna have a long fun time in that yj!

Good job , You 2...I want a older Jeep like that one..YJ.Or a XJ, from what I hear..

Nice job! When you get a chance check out the 89 yj build I did. I appreciate the hours it takes

im a little late to the party but this looks great, wanna rebuild my 1995 wrangler??

Looks good. Your winch needs a fairlead though. You'll damage your synthetic line if you use it without.

It looks good really good! Make sure you put a fairlead on your winch. If you don't, the winch rope will rub against the winch mount and destroy the rope. Your front bumper may also be a problem if you have to winch at much of an angle since the bumper sticks out farther than the fairlead. The rope could rub against the bumper causing problems or bending it depending on how much force you put against it.

very nice video, but I saw it very late, I didn't have the patience to finish my project, congratulations on reaching your goals

🙏🏽💪🏽❤️👌

Loved the video. Just got my YJ. Want to do the same thing but red on black

Im working up an XJ right now - doing a full suspension replacement front and rear. Completely satisfying!!

Looks amazing 👍🏼 I had an 82 CJ7 i did in the same color. Great choice

I also got a ‘94 YJ awesome work! I need to get my interiors and exterior lined up as well! Your Rig looks great. If I can be nosey how much it run you at auction?

Can't wait to do some major upgrades to my jeep wangler YJ 😁👍 love the video.

One of my favourite 4x4s since I saw it in Jurassic Park 😂

Very nice job of restoring the yj . I have a 90 and enjoy using it and working on it

Omg goals. Ive started on the inside and now hopong to move to suspension and outside . love ur vid wish there was step by steps

Incredible! Thanks for the inspiration!

My rio grande is in the garage with a busted fuel pump 😑😂

What a wholesome video, I'm impressed.

I'm with Bob Black. Let's hear about the motor

Nice build! You should be proud of that thing, it's great to see an old truck given new life.

Came out very nice .Was the motor sound?

Is there a link we can get trouble getting info

What was the name of that bed line brand again?

Good video, good audio, badass car, badass build.

Somone jumped that jeep for sure lol

This keep turned out so damn good man

What fun! Great job.

Roll on bedliner as paint is like putting popcorn ceilings in your house.

Anybody know where to get “cheaper” door panels for my 1994 Jeep yj ?

I miss my 89 sahara :(

Wow I'm impressed
