- all new stainless brake and fuel lines
- all suspension components (with Old Man EMU)
- most hardware, hinges, cables
- changed seats
- changed wheels
- new body mounts
- fresh paint
- new soft top
- found used half doors
- replaced hard top
- changed to family roll bar and added rear seat belts
- lots of little nuts, bolts and other things - Авто та транспорт
Fantastic job!
Very Nice! Lucky to have a solid frame with no rust.
Good job, should be good for another 30 years now. I'm just wrapping up a tub swap and repaint of my '95 YJ, so I can appreciate how much work you guys must have put in. My replacement tub was in way better condition than yours, but my fenders were full of rust.
Nice! we're working on a frame off resto on a 77 cj7 now (it's on my channel if you haven't seen it), and also a 92 YJ and I just picked up an 81 CJ8 Scrambler which will be after those two are done. lots to do this winter!
What an inspiration. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
Nice work
A great video and what an ordeal (or mission) you accomplished! I am impressed. Helped me stay in the fight on my YJ project. Take care, Carry On!
Great to hear! it'll be completely worth it when done! Cheers!
nice 10 (lol) minute project, my 89 has same hood decal, this turned out great - hope to see more of the YJ
believe it or not, that 89 YJ is in France now.. some guy contacted me and offered to buy it. After I got over the obvious thoughts it was a scam, it turned out to be true! so now I have 2 CJ's and a 92 YJ to work on...
Awesome job. Gotta say, I can't help but think you might have saved yourselves a lot of work by opting for a better donor body, but you made it work! Awesome!
heh, the donor body was an exchange for an old motorcycle I had around so the price was right ;) thanks!
@@FatherSonGarage I would have done the same!
I think those are original Jeep YJ Renegade Wheels, looks great
Thanks! They are called Gambler rims, worth the work it took I think :)
What a cool video! Love the channel name! I drive the yj's younger tj brother. Envious of your shop, thought it was an old airplane hanger at first. Jeep turned out great! Are you going to do videos on your other jeeps?
Thanks very much! I've got a thing for the older one's I think.. That shop is my Dad's but I work out of my 2 car garage now mostly but its a good size. On my channel, there are videos of the 92 YJ I'm working on, my 77 CJ7 and I have an 81 CJ8 Scrambler I'll be doing next. Would love another subscriber if you want to see. I'm almost ready to paint the tub on the CJ7 so I'll have another video up in a week or so. Cheers!
I`m getting ready to restore my 95, probably going to put a new frame under it, It would be really helpful if someone who has taken one apart would print a manual or if just a how to .
I'm working on a 92 right now. I don't have a manual (I should make one!) but feel free to ask if you have any questions!
UN BEL LAVORO
Looks great! What color did you go with? Looks like almond beige? Did you do a custom dash?
Thanks! The color is an 89 YJ color. It's called Sand, the code is PY5. The dash is the oem dash, just cleaned up! Cheers!
Apparently they made the Sahara model in that color but I can’t find one for the life of me. I have the khaki metallic in a 91
A beauty. How much time and $$ to get this result? I'm debating a similar project on my '89 YJ but don't know if it's worth it.
I'd say I spent about $2500-3k to do this, but lots of hours. I didn't really track that part but it got done over a winter.. probably a couple hundred hours in total but worth every minute!
Got a 89.did complete frame off. Close to done now. So far it's cost me bout 9500.
You going to stick with the stock gas tank? And how long did it take you to do all of that?
Hey Josh, we did use the stock tank on this one. It was built over a winter but if I guessed at hours.. I'd say 150-200 or so. I didn't really keep track on it, was having too much fun!
Looks like "Step 1" was new wheels and tires.
where did you happen to find the YJ decal for the hood?
The jeep actually had that decal before i started so i got a friend to measure the existing one and then design a new one for me and i just got it recut as a new decal. Happy to share the file if you need it!
4.2 was an inline engine... just pointing out the v6 is incorrect. This jeep never came from the factory with a v6.
Thanks, though I knew that.. did I call it a V in there somewhere? Thanks for catching it. Was probably thinking about one of the 8's we'd been working on..lol
Nice now jack up the price.
How much does it cost to refurbish everything?
I have1990 Jeep yj. Need help.
Thank you
For what we did, we spent about 3 grand, but we put a lot of hours in too. good luck!
