@@michaelswartz8698 Thanks. I'm hoping to get at least 25 years out of it. I have another video that should be coming out soon with a LOT of progress i made this summer.
Nice to see the yj getting some love, seems like everybody hates the yj but loves the cj when the yj was better then the cj, I have an 87 LS swapped , stretched yj and get a lot of compliments on it, this will be the second summer since the V8 went in and so far it's been quite reliable, I have done so many improvements, wj brakes, 8.8 rear end , flat belly pan, it's like a crack addiction I can't leave it alone... Cheers
You’re doing great work. I was like restoring it? It looks great? Then you started explaining the work you did. I have an 89’ that I inherited that was bone stock. I am slowly replacing worn out parts. Did a little 2 1/2 lift because the leaf springs were wore out, new fender trim, wheels and BFG all terrain tires. Keeping the tire size small because it’s only the 2.5 4 cylinder. Looking forward to seeing your progress. Subscribed.
@tdg0101 Thanks man. I'm glad to see people are actually interested in the videos and support it. I already have a few more videos of it posted and have plenty more coming. Thanks for the support.
@BudRinck ill probably start doing that as well but this vehicle would have needed that treatment to start about 25 years ago lol. It's a midwest vehicle so there's almost nothing that could be done to prevent the rust.
I need dig into my yj. Mines a rio grande. I got bored one weekend and decided the little 2.5 needed more power so I fabbed up a bunch of piping and added a t3 turbo with intercooler. A few thousand miles later rear main went out took the clutch with it. My rear pinion started leaking. My transfer case slip yolk seal started leaking. Now my front end just started making crunchy noises when i turn. Time for some work.😊
Well the turbo is great. I put in a new rear main seal. My rear pinion seal wasn't leaking it was just oil from the rear main and slip yoke. Installed a new clutch. The crunchy noses was a bad tie rod at the pitman arm so I replaced it and put in a drop pitman. Rough country 2.5 inch lift springs with a shackle reversal. New boomerang shackles for the rear. New intake manifold gasket. All new sensors. Cleaned the throttle body. Waiting to get new injectors so I can push a little more fuel. Full tune up. 180 degree thermostat. She's good for a bit now. Hopefully.
The footage is flipped-- it is very confusing it watch you work on a Jeep-- when you know everything is like you're looking through a mirror. Looks like it flips back and forth between?
Yeah some of it is flipped because it was recorded on a front facing camera. It's tough to recorded sometimes because I don't have any real recording equipment. Still working on video/ production quality.
Great progress on restoring your jeep! Should last another 25 years easy! Like the narration!

Good, I will watch it.
LONG LIVE THE JEEP YJ !
@VLEEZY1 heck yeah
I just picked up a YJ myself, currently doing the rear frame repair.
Awesome. Good luck

Lol i think YJs are some of the best jeeps. I prefer it over my JK.

Good job my 95 I use fluid film in the frame to prevent frame rot

I’m on the jersey shore and so far I’m winning

That's the life of a yj lol. Good luck
@BWalker-yg9en I had a brand ne rio grand back in the day. Wished I still had it. That was the best jeep I ever had.
@@BWalker-yg9ennice lol that sounds about right for a yj

@BWalker-yg9en that's awesome. Hopefully she going to be running better and stronger then ever. How much power do you thinkbthe turbo added?

I will say, if it was me, I would do any and all things to that engine before I put the tub back on.
@jk_wrangler13 the engine doesn't really need all that much work. Plus I would like to just it driving again lol
