- After grabbing a 1994 Jeep Wrangler YJ at an auction, one DIY project turned a problematic ride into a dream off-road vehicle. Overall, 65 hours were devoted to this ’94 YJ, transforming it from a total loss to a Jeep the owner is proud to own and drive, both on the street and on the mountain. Spend time finding the right Jeep, do your research and be patient. Your hard work and vision can convert a salvaged wreck into a summer dream.

You drive my dream jeep 🤌
YJ, tan interior, army green, synthetic rope winch, absolute perfection
That is one good looking YJ. Well done. Love the paint.
Man I love the YJ.
я не понимаю по-английски, но из видео понял, что люди вложили очень много труда и сил в эту машину. А главное, что они это делали с душой. это заслуживает лайка, как минимум. Удачи вам!)
This motivates me. I'm ready to build me own.
It is worth it until today 👌 love our jeep🥰
He didn’t “build it”, but more or less fixed it and gave it some “lipstick”
@@jakeholt1572 our host is still clueless
I have loved the paint job the texturizing of the green paint is wonderful. Overall the Jeep looks like a true Jeep not some freak of nature people mod out.
I just bought back my 92 Renegade that I drove back in high school in 04, I can’t wait to work on her!
Thanks for the inspiration!
It really turned out sweet!! The fact that your wife helped.... priceless!!
Do you ever dream of a place where a lot of people drive mostly jeeps from all generations from the ww2 to the most latest jeeps of all. I remember back then my grandpa told me that they were more ww2 jeeps than any other latest and vietnam war era jeeps being driven back then not just american jeeps you could see. But also some japanese type ones like the toyotas and Mitsubishi and also korean ones too. Even today there is still a factory to this day that still manufactures ww2 and vietnam war era jeeps to this day. A lot of people still drives jeeps today in my country 🇵🇭 including the iconic passenger jeepney too. Even though that jeepneys and old jeeps are not allowed to be driven on big cities and you can only see them in rural, mountainous and remote areas. For the fact that many people here now drive pickup trucks and SUV but for me they'll never beat the old jeeps here they can be fixed at any repair shops rather than a fancy service center!
Thanks for the inspiration, I just got a 95 YJ and it to needs some real work but I will be patient and will complete the project!! Thanks again..
Im working up an XJ right now - doing a full suspension replacement front and rear. Completely satisfying!!
This is sick man; great work to both of y’all.
Absolutely fantastic job! Great to see so much love poured into a Jeep and even greater to see it come to fruition. I’m very inspired :)
Nice build! You should be proud of that thing, it's great to see an old truck given new life.
I’ve only hear bad things about the yj but I bought one and I really like it she hasn’t failed me yet
Awesome video!Thank you for posting!
Can't wait to do some major upgrades to my jeep wangler YJ 😁👍 love the video.
I love Jeeps & grew up @ end of CJ era (even owned a few in my youth.) After yrs of bad mouthing YJs as "Yuppie Jeeps" etc., 4 yrs ago I bought a near mint 94. I take back all my previous stupid comments about the YJs. I LOVE my 94. An added plus, I bought it when price point for YJs was low & now they keep rising in value!
I’m 18 and this is my dream car I want this car because it’s so like fun and this model is a classic I love it💕
Very nice job of restoring the yj . I have a 90 and enjoy using it and working on it
I just bought a 1994 yj 4 cylinder 4x4. for 4500. Needs a lot of elbow grease (door seals, exhaust work , interior work, new windshield.) But drives down the road great . I used to own a 1996 cherokee and the steering is way tighter in this yj. Cant wait to start working on prettying the thing up.
Incredible! Thanks for the inspiration!
Our 93 was Lined and we love the satisfaction of, No more small dings or scratches & No worries of rust and having to wax or buff!!!
Looks amazing 👍🏼 I had an 82 CJ7 i did in the same color. Great choice
The rear half of the tub is almost identical to the tub on my 1948 CJ-2A. It's amazing that the design changed very little after 46 years!
Looks great! I just got a yj. It's not horrible but had definitely seen better days but I'm hoping to rebuild it over the years
Nice start , some changes you might consider are, TJ flares, allow you to open the wheel well for more articulation room. Sway bar disconnects to improve front axle articulation. Cut a hole in rear floor above gas tank so you can get to fuel pump without dropping the gas tank. Get rid of slip yokes and go to telescoping drive lines, stronger and better as the jeep grows. ROCK SLIDERS! gas can carrier, nothing worse than having 5 gal extra gas in the cab and getting sick from the fumes
There are lots of changes , but don't be in a hurry. Have had my yj for 18 years, never gets old or done. Look it up on you tube, " Wes drives over a car ". Give you insight into yj as to what can be. Just empty every pocket is what JEEP MEANS.
Can I see it!? On your channel?
Good video, good audio, badass car, badass build.
Omg goals. Ive started on the inside and now hopong to move to suspension and outside . love ur vid wish there was step by steps
Well i have no problem buying one here in my country 🇵🇭 because there are a lot of them to not just a 90's wrangler jeep but also some other brands that make jeep like vehicles and you can choose from ww2, vietnam war era, 70's,80's and 90's one too!!!
What a wholesome video, I'm impressed.
I’m currently rebuilding my 89 wrangler. Wish me luck
Have fun, my 87 decided to drain half my bank account but it was worth it
@@elpaso5947 How much did it cost you? Just curious
@@drinkmyjelly I had to get a new clutch ( duel friction centerforce ) and that was around $500 then I bought a Holley Sniper fuel injecter 2 barrel and that was $1200 then my Axle snapped and then had that fixed and had most my seals replaced and that was $2300, there was also the labor charge to get this done and I didn't keep track of it but it had to be little over a grand, also I still need to get Ford 8.8s when I find them, also a new transmission because the current BAH-10 5 speed I have is still working just fine but I read there poor quality so later down the road that should be the last thing I need to do, all in all between $4000-$5000 I put in it
Edit: I bought my 87 for $4900, and it had only 166k miles on it
Nice, I have an 89
@@elpaso5947 nice i have an 87 with a 305 small block in it
What fun! Great job.
It looks good really good! Make sure you put a fairlead on your winch. If you don't, the winch rope will rub against the winch mount and destroy the rope. Your front bumper may also be a problem if you have to winch at much of an angle since the bumper sticks out farther than the fairlead. The rope could rub against the bumper causing problems or bending it depending on how much force you put against it.
Good job , You 2...I want a older Jeep like that one..YJ.Or a XJ, from what I hear..
I will be posting my own
1993 wrangler soon
Good job, I also did a full restauration of my 92 YJ:-)
impressed - cleaned up real nice
This keep turned out so damn good man
Very nice!
Loved the video. Just got my YJ. Want to do the same thing but red on black
badass!!! 1000x1000 x better than new jeeps!!!!!!!!
The winch needs a fairlead my friend, beautiful work on your YJ, my respects
How much money did you sink into the restoration? It’s beautiful 😍
My first Jeep was a 94’ YJ, I regret selling it every day!
Very good job. Congratulations👍
Looking good!
Nice build!
More impressed you had a wife that helped, that’s awesome… things like that help build a good marriage. It looks great, your gonna have a long fun time in that yj!
Outstanding!
Great video, Intellitronix make a direct fit LED gauge cluster for the CJ, YJ & TJ
Wow I'm impressed
very nice video, but I saw it very late, I didn't have the patience to finish my project, congratulations on reaching your goals
nice , one sweet ride only on a JEEP YJ
great job
Beautiful
Can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched this bideo
How does the superlift kit ride? I've been thinking about getting the same kit for my Jeep
Looks awesome. Would look awesome-er in some 35s tho
Looks good. Your winch needs a fairlead though. You'll damage your synthetic line if you use it without.
nice video
One of my favourite 4x4s since I saw it in Jurassic Park 😂
The square headlights jeeps look so much better than the rounded ones imo
Amazing
Can you tell me which mirror brackets you used? I have been looking for something like that for a while. '95 YJ
Could you replace the roll bar with the one that was on the 87-91 wrangler?
I also got a ‘94 YJ awesome work! I need to get my interiors and exterior lined up as well! Your Rig looks great. If I can be nosey how much it run you at auction?
Where did you get the new door panels? I need a set same color.
I want to roll line my whole 94 YJ Wrangler. Is it very difficult and what grit sand paper?
Great job. What seats are those?
Can I ask how much of the monsaliner you used? Is a one gallon kit enough to do the exterior?
Randomly found another Wyomingite on TH-cam!
Nice job! Has the monster coating held up?
Leaning hard towards purchasing my first wrangler. Have always loved the YJ. Honest opinion- ‘94 YJ 115k miles, new tires, needs shock body mount. Owner Asking $2k. Should I pull the trigger? (Afraid I’ll lose my shirt replacing body mount)
What was the name of that bed line brand again?
Is there a link we can get trouble getting info
Came out very nice .Was the motor sound?
What lift brand did I you use?
Ok so I've got the same jeep and it was the first car I bought! Now I'm looking to do what you did! Can you help me and my 17 yo son do a DIY project this summer?!? I feel like I would need more help than just the video!!! :)
im a little late to the party but this looks great, wanna rebuild my 1995 wrangler??
How much to restore something like this?
Well since Nobody seems to want to buy my 88 YJ with 62000 original miles on it I guess it’s time to do a frame off restoration it’s gonna take a lot of time and money but I refuse to just let it rot away to rust just because of the frame, it has always got me where I needed to go so I guess it’s time to make her better then ever
What's the song?
How did you drive that thing home omg
Good job !! however if you want to know what is a "total loss" is, come to canada, rust killed many of those yj......
What does it cost to do this? I’ve got a damn good looking YJ and I would absolutely love to restore this
What is the color code?
Beau travail, j'adore :) J'ai un YJ de 89 et je l'adore aussi, c'est un véhicule intemporel. En ce moment je lui fait une petite rénovation partielle, afin de ne pas le laisser trop mal vieillir.
Jeez--- you paid money for that thing?? Haha. What a adventure.
I'm with Bob Black. Let's hear about the motor
Roll on bedliner as paint is like putting popcorn ceilings in your house.
Perhaps if you’re one of the folks who never leaves the pavement, maybe.
However, if you do leave the pavement or just want a more durable coating you don’t need to be worried, it’s a good option.
Also, jeeps are all about personalization ... if you’re that concerned about what others do to their jeeps, maybe you’ve purchased the wrong vehicle. And if you don’t t even own a Jeep and you are just talking shit, then I feel sorry for your closed mindedness.
Figure out your own issues before you trash others. Have a good one.
Nice job! When you get a chance check out the 89 yj build I did. I appreciate the hours it takes
Anybody know where to get “cheaper” door panels for my 1994 Jeep yj ?
try extremeterrain sometimes they have deals on door for 50 bucks for the plastic replacements
Do you mind sharing what you paid for it?
Wow
How much money was used during this
How much money did you spend??
I miss my 89 sahara :(
65 hours? That’s a lot less than I expected
Anyone got a hard too for sale
