You did a really good job rescuing that Jeep. We are in Michigan also, and my son just bought a TJ. He is having so much fun wioth it that now I am shopping for one. LOL
You can get a 33" tire on the stock carrier if you remove the two top rubber bumpers and loosen the break light assembly about a quarter to a third of an inch. The tire will hold the break light assembly in place very well still. Learned that from a mobile tire guy.
1st timer here-great video. Love your Jeep-nice job with the restoration.Very helpful and informative. Especially appreciate when you quoted prices,that is very helpful,wish more people would do that. cheers
Nice ride! I have a built JK and just bought a TJ 2.5L to daily drive. It has a 2" body lift which I wouldn't have done but it works with 33s. Did a bunch of little things to make it nice. Not sure how far I want to go but I love the Jeep! Thanks for sharing!
Nice TJ! Same body color as mine minus the interior and top color. (Mines tan) Love the Green. I’m looking to restore the body of mine. I too have no rust on the body or the frame. 4cyl also. Did a great job on her. Well done.
Dude hearing you talk like a car nerd is the funniest thing ever! Id say keep the blinkers as they are, fix the rust, get an alignment if u haven't yet, and weld some small bits of steel onto that rear bumper to fill it out! Thing looks mint already.
I agree the head lights are a must to change out I have the sunpie halo LED headlights and fog lights and OMG Day/Night...I couldn't agree more that it's the best mod that could be done and should be the very first lol great looking jeep man!! Great job 💯🔥👍👍
Headlights look like Sunpie's . what I'm putting on mine. Mine is an SE and came with tilt wheel and a full console , it was a upgrade package , also air conditioning. So yes there are some with tilt.
First off your Jeep looks so clean! I like the wheel and tire fitment. Are you running wheel spacers at all? I’m building a 98 currently and your wheel fitment is what I’m looking for.
I would suggest you clean the frame, drill some drain holes in it and fluid film it annually. The upper midwest is brutal on vehicles and especially on TJs. The build looks great.
i live in California the first thing i did when i got my 98 tj was remove everything air conditioner got a smaller belt to bypass the AC compressor remove the ac compressor put in an aux battery there,, remove the heat and air condition contol panel and replaced with 7 toggle switches, for funner things... will be removing back seat soon and put in a jump seat instead.
The JK Mountain edition was only in 2010. Only reason I know is because I own a 2010 JK Mountain two door and I get a lot of people asking me what the Mountain edition is. It was a sport with some cosmetics nothing special. Nice TJ by the way.
This is my jeep. Except I've owned mine since '99 new. There was a moss green color, which I almost got, but I recall it was lighter than that. I decided to go with Forest Green and dark interior. Maybe it's the sunlight, but yours looks forest green too. I don't know how you got a 32' tire on the rear. My studs were too short for even 31's with the grizzly rims. Want to know where you got that cheap console storage container! Never seen that one before
@@Tyler_Yezman I've been looking at the Moss Green TJs. According to the Quadratech site that color was available during the first two and last two years. 97 98 05 06
I have the same bumper and im curious about your winch plate and how it's mounted. Do you have any detailed pics of how the winch is mounted? Thanks for the video
Ions amazing I have 01 se bought 3yrs ago at used car lot thought about the lift but since it’s in pretty good condition pretty much eevwrything looks original so hard to make the call to do the change.
Been looking tj's all over the internet to get ideas for mine. I also have a green 4 cyl, and must say that it is the most perfect spec i seen. Hope you don't mind if I copy every each detail. Regards from México
I did the light load with the included spacers. Even with the heavy bumper and winch, it worked out perfectly because I have the 4 cyl. If I had the 6cyl it probably would have sagged.
