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!
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
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!
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
Any chance you could list more of the products you used? I have alot of this same type of work to do on my 2006, especially dealing with rust. Thanks!!
where is the rust? i had my frame sand blasted and re-coated inside and out with a POR type paint, and I've replaced floor pieces with regular old 14-16 gauge steel. they also make floor pans that you can cut and weld in place. if its exterior stuff like the fenders, look around on facebook marketplace for tj parts. if you cant find your color, look up your paint code on forums and repaint if necessary.
@@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?
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?
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!
Is the black stuff on the interior floors some kind of rust inhibitor or a "rhino lining" type of thing? I have been talking about doing this for a long time and you might have just motivated me. Thanks for the video and your response if it happens! Also you may want to blur out your license plates, I don't know what if anything people can do but I wouldn't trust anyone.
If I was a” pro”youtuber and comfortable doing it I would. I am new at youtubing not and not that good at it …as you can see. I write a few words on screen afterwards to help with explaining a few things. Sorry that your viewing experience is hampered by my unorthodox method.
