Sweet Jeep! I have had my 93 Jeep YJ for 15 years and love how capable it is for us. (Snowboarding phase atm) I'm rolling with 35" stt pro's and just last year I put a 89 Jeep Comanche 4.0 engine in her. 60k miles. It's always a work in progress with upgrading everything and this build you have is a great inspiration to me.
wow very nice...love your suspension and V8. Thanks for showing! My YJ- 350 v8, 4 speed manual rock crusher with twin sticks, 37's on 8 lug 60/HD44, modified body etc....was my "fun" year project....now if I could just get your suspension! peace. Edit: oops forgot ...8" lift, high-steer, dual batteries, LED's all over the place lol, removable mud flaps (to keep the cops off my tail), custom bumper w/ 12K winch, front hitch/receiver (very handy for pulling dead cars up the trailer and moving my boat around)… custom rear swing-out spare tire rack that also holds (2) 5 gallon jerry cans and (4) propane bottles for the stove...I keep all my camping/fishing gear in it year-round so when I 'feel the need' I can just throw some food and water in and go....love it. But I hope I never get a flat by myself because I can't lift the spare 37" tire by myself onto (or off) the rack anymore, I'm 66! Geese!
Absolutely a lovely build guys!!! Not much else to say because it’s just so nice. I like his reasonings for driving his Jeep, for mountain biking etc.. I use my Jeep for a specific reason. I’m a long range marksman that shoots long range and extended long range several days a week and I love the study of ballistics. My rig has to be able to get me on the abandoned coal strip mines here in Wv. My rig has to be able to travel the side by side trails so my rig can’t be too big. My entire Jeep jk is built just for shooting long range. Probably a boring story but I wanted to share. Thank you for a great story!!!
Nice build. I have a 95 YJ little lift with 32 BFG mud T. Its funny you have 6.0 in your because I also own a GMC Yukon Denali has 6.0. always said wish my YJ had this motor.
I have a 95 yj. I’m not quit built though. I’m running a Ford 9” and d44. 38.5 tires with 4” lift. I’m hoping to put it back in my shop and work on it some more. I can’t get much more than 36” on a ramp without my back tire coming off the ground. You have a very nice jeep!!
Nice YJ!! My first vehicle was a 94' YJ 4cyl that I lifted with a trail master lift and put 33" tires on. I traded it when i needed a daily driver for college that could handle interstate speeds but its what lead me to buying the Gladiator I have now 25 years later. I had it fixed up well after breaking many parts including rebuilding the engine after hydrolocking it in a deep mud hole. I still see it occasionally but the lift is gone but the wheels and sliver stripe make it stick out from the others
Let me start by saying that this is an awesome and beautiful Jeep! BUT......other than the square headlights and the dash, there’s not a whole lot of YJ left in it! LoL! Just some friendly ribbing, don’t attack me! I love the Jeep and making them your own and specific to your needs is what they’re all about!! Plus, us square headlights gotta stick together!!
Nice YJ, Burt! It's a little bigger than mine, though. I'm going 5.3, an AX15 Atlas, 60rear and 44 front on 35s. I'm already so far over budget and behind schedule, it resembles a government program. Coilovers are still on the wish list though.
@@FlexRocksRollovers thank you, yeah I'm into SxS offroading, Toyota 4runner overlanding and camping but never had a Jeep. My main thing actually is to make it reliable and towable behind my RV. Have you ever heard of anyone adding AC to the inline 4 motor? Probably can't handle it, I'd imagine lol.
The only thing that’s stopping me from progressing with my YJ like you is, I would like to start with more body length, interior length (LJ). Beautiful build. Thanks
It's gonna be awhile before my jeep looks like this... I'm still in the beginning of building..still haven't found a jeep to build.. but after that it'll just come together
Yes! Just get in your shop, turn on the rock and roll and get to work! lol. To some of us, doing all the fabrication is all the fun. Drive it for awhile, and then start a new project. The key is to get as many tools as you can along the way and always finish your project...if you don't, you'll end up having a yard full of unfinished projects and you'll feel like a dumbass. My first street rod project took 6 years...and I worked on it almost every day after work and most every weekend...6 years! The next one took 4 years, the next 1 year...it gives me something to do besides drinking and getting in trouble plus I learn a lot...good luck with your project!
Exactly how I have been planning my build. The only thing I would change is the air intake. K&N filters suck dirt and yours is exposed to possible water intake. Thanks for sharing.
That jeep doesnt ever see water or mud. It mostlikely sees rocks and dry and thats aboutnti. 10 years and 40k miles with a kn must be doing ot wrong right
I'm running a 5.7 out of a 98 Tahoe, nv4500 first gen, .... still building mine Odd ball thing, full chevy harness, including using a cluster out of a Tahoe, was able to modify the dash to accept it
Just subscribed,I don't own a jeep😏but I do own a modified 88 Suzuki Samurai,weber carburetor, iron horseracing header and running open😁,cold air intake,Cam,black skyjackers 2 inch lift shocks,actual 2inch shackles and 2 inch wheel spacers for extra tire clearance😋
Dude!!! Awesome video! I’ve been following you on IG for quite some time now. Huge fan of the jeepster. I’ve got a RU-vid channel myself that was based on my YJ originally. Not neaaarly as clean as the YJ in this video. Again awesome vid and looking forward to more vids! Subbed!
I'm doing the GM 5.3L L83 genV and gm 8 spd or 12spd but w/ Atlas T-case With dual fuel tanks for a 600-700 mile range. My goal is over landing, with the most range I can get.
I know this channel will grow. Adding some more detailed shots of the not only the suspension components but its up travel and down travel limits/numbers would be great at capturing its true off road capabilities. The distance between his air bump and bump pad confuses me, wish I could have seen more. Hopeful to see him featured in some wheeling videos.
Thank you for your feedback! Much appreciated! Every time I shoot video and we start editing I see 1000 things I want to add and do different next time. So yeah. It's gonna be a huge learning curve! We're definitely going to do more videos like this in the future with more driving/action footage and more detail shots. Thanks for watching!
My guess is its more of a down travel build with those coil overs. Plus with the over sized 40s, you need to limit uptravel.. guess he had 37s on it and it just didn't look big enough and considered.. fuck it lets go 40s and limit some uptravel. Which could do him some good on the trail also.
Wow amazing...my mom want 1 just like it.....old school guy....my kids have corns on feet longer this kid alive...how many times u put front drive shaft through the t-case???? Common with 40 and bigger tires when u hit pot hole...push front drive shaft back 2 incheas and out the back of t - case
Got to be one of the baddest yj builds out there, super nice. If a fellow wanted to build one very similar to this one, how much will he need to spend ?
