Be sure to Share this Video to all the Jeep Cult Pages. I Want them all to know they have a new Member! 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
YT already notified me, stranger. Now you got my attention. Looking forward to seeing your virgin Jeep hands rebuild this thing!
I hope you got the right fuel pump in there. Sometimes these aftermarket parts mysteriously don't always play well. But that's all part of the fun
We are not a cult. Well I mean not like an organized cult...ok it's a cult but it's a good one to be in welcome. You got a heck of a deal. They are expensive because they are damn awesome. Rust is a bitch but it can be fixed in most cases
Wait until you discover the "jeep wave" I had no idea until I bought one.
I love all my wranglers i'm not in a cult
It's not that bad you only need to replace everything 😂
that's standard, even if you buy a brand new jeep.
@@leftoverporkchop9972 well, when you buy new stuff you get to upgrade it.. so...
@@leecaldwell1029 Just Empty Every Pocket! 😂
Rough country should sponsor this build and throw there full catalog at it and make the ultimate rebuild
Man alive, thats a LOT of rust on the underside, and I'm in the heart of the rust belt so i've seen my fair share of it!
Glad you got a decent deal on it. I hate sellers. If you list it as “runs and drives” it should “run” and “drive”! Obviously they had not touched it for years, they had no idea if it ran.
Really looking forward to you putting your touch on this one. After what you did with the bug, I can't even imagine how the Jeep will turn out. 👍
It’s funny to me that you said those jeeps were overpriced whereas here in Houston, TJ’s easily sell for at least 10k
Same thing here in California
I've lived in North Carolina, Atlanta GA and Houston TX and Houston is by far the ABSOLUTE WORST places I've ever tried to buy a car. Everything I see here is ragged out and beat to hell and still massively overpriced and the stuff that is actually in halfway decent condition is even more massively overpriced!
4.0L is the best jeep engine I've ever had - I've owned three of them. 3.6L now in a 2014 wrangler. I'd love a 4L again
Be sure to replace all fluids including diff. I'm betting there is salt water mixed in with all fluids in that flooded jeep!
Bringing me back, I have a 2001 TJ. I had to replace the fuel pump and rail at 130k. The pump was a pain. But, you have a 4L. Those engines are bullet proof which is why they used them from the mid 80s until the TJ was discontinued in 2006. Not many engines are used for 20 straight years. I look forward to this restoration. BTW, I used POR 15 on my frame since I am from the NE.
I bought my brand new 2005 TJ Unlimited and still have it. Still original owner with only 10k total miles. Fully modified 4.5 RE lift, 35” Mickey Thompson, OX lockers, Poison Spyder roll cage, 4.88’s, 4:1 Teralow kit. Skid Row skid plates. NO rust! Garaged whole life, LOVE IT!!
I had an 01 tj and loved it. Although that one looks like it swam through a hurricane.
Can't wait for this one... Love your videos. Keep up the great work
Come on Zac!!!!! I love all your videos man. They are very interesting and the music so relaxing to watch. But this thing with the ending of that video left me hanging. It finished at the best part!!! When will be the next one?
I bought an old F150 a few years back with the intention of fixing it up. I knew it had some rust, but the body was in decent shape. As I got deeper into the project, I found that the frame, suspension, exhaust, and undercarriage were so rusty the truck wasn't worth putting any money into. When a vehicle seems to have "some" rust, it actually has a TON of rust. I wouldn't put a dime into that until I thoroughly inspected the frame and undercarriage.
I’ve got a stock spare tire carrier you can have. Only problem is I’m in Texas. LOL! Got any questions, reply here.
One potential option for body rust is to find a donor tub at a junkyard and cut those sections out to graft onto your tub.
Looks like someone tossed some wheel spacers on it to convert to the 2007-up bolt pattern of 5-on-5”
All the confidence in the world that you will cherry this jeep out and will be watching every single episode, nice job again and you are one of the best channels out there
Looks like a great project…I’ve always wanted a CJ as a weekend car. Are you sure this one hasn’t been in a flood (or a hurricane)? It looks like it’s been under water. Can’t wait to see you bring it back to life.
Can’t wait to see this finished product. This one has a lot of potential especially for your skill set.
I love these old TJs. Took my girl to prom in a green 97. Not starting in Park but starting in neutral is probably your brake light switch on the brake pedal. See if have lights. If not, easy swap and she'll start right up.
Pretty confident closing the hood before you test fire it!😅😅😅😅😅😅 Keep up the great work!
Two of my favorite things combined. Ultimate Rebuilds and Jeeps.
I would have walked on that one yikes. Rust is a hard pass for me, but I don't see any rust living out west so I'm totally spoiled.
I thought the same thing. There are too many clean examples to sink your time into rebuilding the titanic. That TJ is properly rotten. I'm also out west, and my TJ is the opposite end of the spectrum. It's an unmodified pampered garage queen, it's treated more like a classic car than an off road disposable thing. It's a Flame Red '05 6-speed Sport dual top with a Dana 44 limited slip rear. I've had it since Feb '06, and it's never been parked outdoors except for a few camping trips. It's up to 53k now in 17 years of ownership. It sits garaged, detailed and waxed, and just runs around topless on nice days here and there. Hard top has a crane in the garage to hang from, doors have mounts on garage wall to hang on, so it's always ready for a breezy cruise. It's always been a 2nd vehicle/toy, and never a daily. I've had it so long, I couldn't imagine not having it.
for some reason all these jeep vids keep popping up and because I am in that cult I cant resist. This is the best one Ive watched so far....i cannot wait to see everything you do to your jeep!
Those prices look like what we have out here in CA...everyone thinks they have a bucket of gold...ugh...
Would love to see voice over rather then just music when working on the project. Easier to understand and fallow along 😊 great project can't wait to see next week
Cera-Kote trim wipes on those plastics will make it new.
Depends on what you use it for, I myself use mine for mudding. paid 5250 for a 99 TJ sport, 195k miles. Had it for 5 years now and no issues and I beat that thing so hard. Regular maintenance and cleaning it up after every ride is the trick. If was to buy this back at the height of covid same jeep would sell for 10k it was crazy how expensive they got but prices are finally coming back down.
Should’ve done fuel filter too
Cool car man. Like to see some crazy rebuild of that car 😊
Great video Zac, looking forward to this build,. It doesn't have to be a $500k Lamborghini or a McLaren build, like how you do your videos and talk through what you need & what you're going to do. Also the variation of projects.
Always had a thing for the Jeep Wrangler , but the huge engine (dear petrol price in the UK) and the build quality always dampened my urges!
Why do Americans always drive automatics? Everyone I watch on TH-cam has autos, here in the UK I don't know anyone who drives one?
Must be the fashion?
Nope. mommy teaching the kids to drive. Everyone buys an auto because the auto is kind of set and forget. A lot of people don't know the connection a manual transmission gives you to the motor, and road. And then some people just aren't that coordinated. Used to be a Jeep with an auto was RARE! Now, they're way too normal. (Thank the mindless product development departments for that.) And the 4.0 is huge? Really? My daily driver is a 5.9L
On these jeeps if the battery dies you have to hold your foot on the gas a little to keep it running til the tps relearns I have a 2000 jeep wrangler and my battery went dead and after I charged it I had the same problem with it dying after a few seconds. On the frame you have to cut out the rust and weld the new frame caps in and the on the torque boxes you can buy either new or caps for them. You can buy the repair kits from auto rust technicians they are widely known in the east coast up the north east
Same thing with my 97 XJ
Dude, I haven't checked in for a while, you look great! Looking forward to this build.
I had that Jeep saved on my list when i was in Fort Myers. Good luck with it. I have a clean LJ frame for sale if you want to stretch the body. LJ’s being the holy grail, add a lot of value to it.
Well done on this jeep buy I think! My '81 CJ5 and I live in Fort Lauderdale, and yes- everything you noticed about jeeps and their owners are true! Awesome project, practice some welding ($120 for a harbour freight mig), some basic metal tools, sheet nibbler, welding clamps, etc. and you'll be amazed what you can do if you don't already have those skills. And if if you like it when you're done- DON'T SELL IT! Ask any boomer who owned a CJ and sold it! Just sumpin' about an old jeep...
You going to do a full breakdown to the frame? Would be cool to see a series of you making this a full rebuild and make it an absolute tank! I know the time and money will be ridiculous but you could handle the project no problem brother!
That's what I did with a truck. Replaced every nut and bolt and rebuilt everything bumper to bumper.
Those torque boxes on both sides are shot and i bet the floor pans are too. The frame looks terrible too with those rust holes😂 you bought an interior, doors, a top and drivetrain
Great to see you doing a car again. I started when you were working on the Figaro. Looking forward to this one.
Glad to see ypu doing another automobile. You did a great job with the Bug. Looking forward to what you do with this one!
Is it me or the skid plate is welded to the frame? If it's the case, it's probably because the frame is so rusted that the bolts didn't hold it anymore.
those parts of the body that are rotted are called torque boxes. it's held on with spot welds and can be done without removing the body. but much easier to do both with the body removed
So much potential, Wish I would have found that one for the interior alone would have been worth it.
My family bought a tj and it had the frame of a good tj and the body of a good tj and they were put together. It was extremely well done and the Jeep looks amazing
Doors 750$ interior 2000$ motor 1000$ rear end 500$ front end 500$ top and top frame 1500$ tires and wheels 200$ . Yeah you did good
Welcome to the Jeep World! It's could get expensive, but, with patience and Pick A Part yards, it can be made less expensive. That first drive naked, no doors or roof, will make all seem justified. That first drive will be scary as hell, then exhilarating. Frame swaps are relatively easy, I would recomend removing the tub, it does make frame repairs and the tub repairs easier.
We have vehicle inspections here....there is no way that would pass inspection and be road legal. It's a parts bucket at this point.
Just got a 2000 sahara that had some rust on it, but not nearly as bad as that. 135k miles. Inferior as clean as or cleaner than yours. Put a 3 inch lift and 1 inch body lift on it. All new control arms and track bars also. Those body mount bolts are terrible when they're all rusty! Ill be watching your build. Good luck!
Thanks for being an absolute buffoon. Now I don't feel so bad about the mistakes I made in the purchase of my Jeep
You're making me feel Blessed. Keep up the good work and enjoy your Jeep👍
I'm excited to see you work on this!
Parts. We have two we drive and we try to find one every few years and make it a vacation trip. Drag it home strip everything of value and crush the rusty leftovers.
“It has a little surface rust” that’s what you get when you swamp a Jeep in knee high salt water on a regular basis!
It still won't start in park.......well no shit you fixed everything but the natural safety switch lol jk. But in a seriousness you're going to love it. It's a jeep thing you don't understand what that means till you own one.
Man, I can't work out in the brutal Florida sun like that. Glad you've got a popup.
First thing you need is a bidirectional scanner to turn on the fuel pump and check pressure.
For those pointing out the crank sensor, when that fails it turns off the injectors but still pressurizes.
So no fuel pressure is no pump power, bad pump, or simply no fuel.
Also, for you non Jeep people, yes it really is that easy to change an alternator.
The rust makes em cheap cause 80% of cheap quick repairs become a nightmare have to replace 3, 4 or 5 parts more when the repair was suposed to be an easy fix, by the way, tub is junk, tub has body mounts ("body mounts left the group") which are gone about 5 years ago, body is sitting on the air.
Keeps are awesome around 5 years ago I bought a used 08 Jeep JKU for $18k bone stock nothing done to it. Have around $25k into it easily. You name it I did it. Never getting rid of it.
You do a great job, you are well manors, pleasant to listen to, and explain things well. Best of luck, and keep up the great work
LoL. I own a 2003. I replaced part of the passenger side frame already. Not bad. Driver side will suck when the time comes for it. Brake lines on the frame. Dropping the tank is no fun either.
I could feel that hot Florida sun right over the TH-cams. Then the canopy appeared, good move. And I always just assume those crappy belt tensioners are shot. I buy them without even checking when changing alternator, water pump, AC compressor or even just the accessory belt. Been needed 90% of the time on both Mopar and GM. And idler rollers, if present, as well.
Ok ya sucked me in with your Cliff Hanger ending. You got a new Sub and a thumbs up. I am picking up a 98 Jeep Wrangler TJ I bought for 1K and hope it is as fun to drive. I know it will need some work but I know it starts and drives so I am at least hood on that end. Keep up the good vids and please keep the audio on instead of music. I would rather hear you explain the process. Thanks
Had 3 old Cherokee 2 w the 4.0 made it to 300k w minimal maintenance. Miss jeep 4.0 and ford straight 6 4.9 both great motors.
Big fan of the channel and it is great to see this type of project. Would love to see a step by step process of what you did that was on time lapse, maybe for a sister channel!!!
thanks for making this video! Love these types of videos
I will stay tuned… for next week’s episode!!!!
Good deal if the motor is on the up and up. These TJs can be finicky. They really prefer Bosche fuel pumps and the regular cheap copper spark plugs. Same goes for cheap NTK sensors. Dont need to go fancy or upgrade or youre asking for mysterious problems and headaches, which are most likely in your future.
Wow what a weird intake, thats how it goes? Id put stock back on that thing.
I just replaced those floor frame mounts i did it from the top sectioning a new floor pan in
tbh thats a DAMN good deal especially if its just an alternator and fuel pump issue. (posting this at 5 minutes in)
I just started watching your Chanel and I really like you videos
Love your optimism. Good Luck
Next time hit the alternator with an impact should free it up
Can’t wait to see what you do with this!!
Looks like a great project-- Love your videos. Keep up the great work☘️
Nice project! It looked like the alternator bracket lost some material when you removed the broken bolt. Did you fill that in before remounting?
Following this build closely, eventually, it will be me. I have no knowledge on how to fix,build, and repair, but darn it, i want to try 😂!
Nice deal. Funny that you say the auto is hard to find. When I was looking, all of them were auto except the two I test drove. Ended up with a YJ with 4.0 and 5spd for $2500. The next option was a 2.5l 5spd TJ with more miles and twice as much.
You should enjoy this build jeeps are the easiest to work on … I can’t wait to see you do your magic
Neutral safety switch. Very common issue.
That looks like my 2005 cut the floorboards out get them torque boxes replaced torque box body support bushings. Then a good pain job
I had a YJ, the most dispised model. But, I loved it.
But, I also had a 59 Willys pickup. Stake side, wood bed. Super Hurricane, oil bath air filter...it was nice.
Can't wait to see what you come up with.
Good luck!!
Personally I think the yjs look really cool but I just don’t like the leaf springs
@@JacksBurchs the rear spring mounts rotted. Never found a YJ that didn't suffer from that issue. I liked mine. Safari doors, soft top, crazy loud Hadley truck horns.
Once I was able to get rid of the dreaded death wobble up front, the only other thing was replacing the started. I did rhino line the whole thing too.
It was a fun toy to run around with in the woods too.
If you paint the top which I know you will knowing your builds. There is a surface prep made by bulldog you just use a green scotch bright and the paste. Then scub. And just power wash it all off.
Only if only ho go hard top
Looking forward to this build will be great as always with your projects.
I like this project. Please show it all.
What rust you see on the outside of the frame the inside will be twice as bad. Lot of work but you can do it.👍
That frame is FRIED!
I been thinking of finding a jeep a older one I like them
Jeeps and Les Paul's. I'll never understand. As long as people are willing to pay too much for them, the market will always be there.
New sub. Looks like an awesome project. Can’t wait to see what you do. If you got Jeep questions I got some answers. 😂 but I’m sure you got it under control. 👍🏻
A Jeep Wrangler with no rust will sell for about the same price if taken care of. My 2015 jk sells around $25000 and new it was $25000. Now that a 2002 wrangler sold around $16000 new and there is a lot of rust.that is why it was cheap. But if you remove the rust and replace the damage with new parts you should get closer to the $16000. Now after a vehicle get over 25 years old the value can slowly increase especially if it is stock. My 2015 jeep Willy’s 2door factory stock in copper brown pearl is hard to find one that has not been damaged or modified. My wife took it to a Jeep run for a local charity and out of 90 plus Jeeps my Jeep was the only one in that color. I have seen three different Jeeps in that color and not one was the same spec or built. Jeep people love and hate the Jeep. Jeep is like a girlfriend or boyfriend a child in one. How one might ask. You will spend lots of money on it so it looks good you may want more than one like the other person you go see without your other half not knowing. And it old sibling is for harder trails and gets built up. But if it to old it goes to Jeep shows and everyone looks at it. And one more thing you can get any part for a Jeep wrangler or CJ and old military Jeep like a ford model T or A try that with a Pontiac grand am. There a company that make ever piece of a WW2 military Jeep except the drivetrain and glass. No joke.
I don’t understand either. I work on two of them for a guy on the side there a absolute nightmare I would buy a FJ or 4 runner
Well, I bought mine off Copart for 1550 and it was much better condition as far as both rust and mechanics is concerned. Just a bit bashed up.
Rebuilding TJ’s should be a good business.
Zack i am not sure if you noticed but at least one of those rear shocks appears to have a bend in the shaft.
Man jeeps in my neck of the woods are soooo spendy compared to the east coast stuff! Buddy just sold his 89 wrangler for 7500 here on the west coast!
I guess you’re limited by price but the jeep automatics from that era are shit. That was when you still needed a standard to off road or pull trailers. They put a 3 speed automatic to cater to the (my jeep looks cool but never leaves pavement crowd). You had to pay extra for an automatic whereas now you have to pay extra for a standard. Many may not remember but I 2002 Jeeps were still looked at as just an off road vehicle. I got a new jeep in 2001. It was the base package. I added 3 things, air conditioning, cd player, and full size spare. Now people couldn’t imagine a vehicle without those things even on a base package. Mine didn’t have cruise control. Of course with the 4 cylinder I had trouble getting to 70 so not sure cruise would have helped. The sports came with a few extras but they were basically just a standard wrangler except with the straight 6 instead of a 4 banger. It’s nice that it had the spring tensioner. My 2001 had a bolt that was very hard to get to.
Hey that orange Jeep is pretty cool
I like old rusty things, they are more special.
Awesome project, looks like a it's got a lot of potential.
Oh yeah. Great job.
Looks like it was driven a lot on. The beach and saltwater I would guess since y'all don't used salt on the roads for snow on ice?
You know that car has been run along the beach splashing through the waves. Everything is damaged by salt water. Get it running and sell it. ( south Florida )
