  • I purchased this YJ Jeep Wrangler from a Salvage lot north of Sheridan, WY with hopes of restoring it. I spend 62 hours renovating the Wrangler in my garage. Luckily, the engine was in great shape and it was the least of my worries as I dove into the build.

    I owned my Jeep YJ since it was brand new. It's a 1995 Jeep Wrangler. When I first bought it, it had only 9 miles on it. I still drive to work every day.

    Nice one mate. Looks great, usable and not overdone. Good value 👍

    Nice bro. Good job. My favorite part of this is how it was a junkyard salvage write-off and you rescued it.

    Congrats! It is a labor of love man. I've had my '88 YJ for 20 years now...always adding and enhancing it to a truck that I am proud of and still enjoy. Great work.

    Congrats mate! You've done an awesome job. The Jeep looks sick. The green paint with the tan interior and roll bar is a killer combo. You should be proud of your work.

    After having so much trouble with the new fiat Jeeps. Looking to get a real jeep from the past. A YJ or CJ would be awesome. I do have to admit a Jurassic Park YJ build is very tempting to me haha.

      I was lucky to get my hands on a ‘92 yj back in high school. Never sold it even though i came close to doing so multiple times. Now I’m married and my wife is a big fan of Jurassic Park and now i have a project vehicle that I’ve held onto for 21 years.

    I like this build. It is sensible. 1.5" lift. 31" tires. The Monster Liner in O.D. green. New seats and center console and door cards and seals.64 hours into a salvage YJ resulted in a vehicle I'd be happy to drive anywhere I want to go.
    I've been thinking about a similar kind of project. I've got a 2015 Renegade Trailhawk, and while I have really enjoyed it, I'm at the mercy of Stellantis to keep it on the road. I have a CJ 2A that I could probably keep running forever, but it isn't suitable for highway driving. I'm thinking about selling them both and replacing with a YJ, which I'd "resto-mildly mod" so it works on the highway and the majority of open, legal routes on Forest Service and BLM land.
    Now, to find the right YJ to start with.......

    SE wyo native here. Just bought a 94 myself. It’s been a blast to restore, but a long way to go before she looks as good as yours. Great video!

    Nice transformation. Color looks great. I would definitely get a fare lead on the winch mount if you haven’t already done so.

    Awesome job.....I was fortunate to get my sister in law's hand me down...a 100 percent stock 95 YJ....which had spent the last 20 years up north in Santa Cruz, California....garaged even.....😱😱 Still looking pondering on upgrades...and the lift kit you used seems like the way I want to go in terms of a lift and suspension upgrades. Thanks for sharing your build.

    you drove that thing home like that? how did you manage to get any power to the wheels with the transfer case split like that?

    Did the monstaliner add a lot of weight? I’ve heard it’s tough to clean and fades quick

    This video deserves so many more views! I bet it was an awesome feeling completing this revival. My wife and I just got our JK and we’re having a lot of fun fixing and improving things.
