    A YJ for my Dad

    I finally got back to working on the YJ, been a crazy summer. I added some stainless hard lines my neighbor gave me that he couldn’t use from his YJ that I’ve been helping with. Also added some Rustys Off-road stainless hoses (made by Crown). I had to make some new lines between the master...

    Mild JK Build

    The fenders are Smittybilt XRC Gen2’s. They’ve been out for around a year but I’ve not seen many sets yet. The inners are just some aluminum ones from Amazon, they were a gift so not sure which, ironically they attach more securely then the poison spyder ones I’ve seen. Sent from my iPhone...

    Mild JK Build

    Did a couple of things to the JK today... Replaced my beat up winch cable with synthetic rope and an aluminum fairlead I got from Crawler Off-road. I also replaced my JL latches, I cut them down pretty good when I replaced the fenders as the openings weren’t large enough by a lot. I ordered...

    Mild JK Build

    Thank you! Yep, it’s my daily, it can make the build up slower and more difficult than a trail only Jeep but life’s to short to drive a boring vehicle lol. Sent from my iPhone using Jeepz.com mobile app

    Mild JK Build

    Installed a hood lift on my buddy’s JK and decided I wanted one as well. I went with a Hooke Off-Road lift from Amazon. Went on in less than 30 minutes. Sent from my iPhone using Jeepz.com mobile app

    Mild JK Build

    Started with this... Made this... Finished up with this... To get this mounted, it’s an oil catch can, it will catch any oil that’s vented from the PCV system before it goes back through the intake causing buildup. Sent from my iPhone using Jeepz.com mobile app

    Mild JK Build

    It is the halo ring that was built into those headlights, it doesn’t affect the headlight beams. I had it wired up to act as a day time running light by using some fuse jumpers and tapping into the accessory fuse. I seem to always have people pull out in front of me so I like the idea of daytime...

    This about where I ran out of warm weather and I wanted my garage space back... I have the advance adapter kit and a new clutch to swap in, however I will drop the the exhaust from down pipe and cat which is so rusty it needs replaced. I will probably replace the manifold due to rust as well at...

    A YJ for my Dad

    My dad didn’t want the hardtop as he’s not driving this in the winter when it’s done. So I got creative, I decided to add a bowless TJ soft top... I found a TJ in my local wrecking yard (much to my surprise) I cut the top retaining bits off the tub and drilled out the spot welds before...

    A YJ for my Dad

    Then it got fun, what should have been a simple 1 hour job turned into 3 days of fun and adventure when it came time to ditch the 3” body lift. The frame on this Jeep is immaculate no rust looks showroom new so I figured the tub would be very clean... This is metal rusted to plastic...which...

    A YJ for my Dad

    Started by replacing the factory gas tank skid with a Warn hd skid. Also replaced the rotting exhaust with a Banks Monster exhaust (91-95 yj, fits the 90 just fine. This was the front flat fender adventure, a lot of by guess and by golly with a grinder and I got them fitted up nicely...

    A YJ for my Dad

    I thought I’d put up a build thread on the 1990 YJ Sahara I’m building for my Dad. He bought the Jeep in 2015 or so, he drove it in the summer of ‘15 and ‘16 then had issues with it and parked it. Fall of ‘19 he decided he wanted it fixed up and turned into a driver. What I started with: -1990...
