Budget Built Jeep on 40s! 1988 Jeep Wrangler YJ Build

nothing budget about 40s

"My Girlfriend came over to weld"....tell me you're winning at life without telling me you're winning at life!😍

whats the model for the rims?

Perfection is the enemy of progress. Give her hell, boys! Lot of overbuilt rigs seeing road duty. Getting out there in what you have works just fine.

Is this something you would consider doing again 😁?

Nice build. It's easy when you start with a spring over and 2.5" springs. Not to mention your goldmine of a scrap pile. This would easily be a 7k build for most.

never had a dana 35 front.. pretty sure its a 30. not gaining anything there.

SO yall trailered that jeep in a tacoma?

Subscribed 😁

Sorry cant watch for the foul language.👎

Be careful with that one. Flips easily. I still remember seeing a dead guy next to his wrangler. Seat belt upgrade mandatory!

SUGGESTION: your shackle angle is terrible almost 90 degrees and is the reason you have next to no flex.. get a shackle relocation kit or make one so the shackles are at a 45 degree or close to it and youll see a massive difference

Love it ! YJ forever

88 was carburared and doesn't have a family style roll bar.

Looks to me the engine was swapped out with a newer 6.4ltr instead of the original 6.0. The engines don't interchange and the motor mounts sit to far forward causing the fan to hit the radiator, they probably didn't change the bushing in the end of the crank either. 88 yj didn't come with fuel injection.

que buen video y si al instalar el motor 6 cil devieron aver reposiciionado los motor mount un poco atras

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I love the get it running motive! Some weight in the rear like a spare tire will help with the flex of the rear lol

Damn ,,,,,Y’all get it to Pop and then the question is asked is any Oil in it,,,,, My Akins of Guys ,,,,we need to wheel

This is bad ass!!! I got some genright aluminum front fenders that I will be putting up for sale along with some devers =)

you built the Jeep that I want to build .I really like the squair head lights and the 6 cylinder engine .the 40's are cool aswell. good job .hope to see more on this Jeep .

I miss my old YJ, I have a 2020 JLU and my old YJ was a much tougher Jeep.

I called it. I knew you were going jeep.

Awesome! Are you interested in testing Jeep lighting stuff? We're looking for some sponsorship collab with someone like you.

Its about time... now just empty every pocket

you told a great story man thank you

When did they make a dana 35 front ... and 35s snap axles on dana 30 front

Turned out pretty good look forward to seeing it in action.

You should have move the rear axle back. It’s leaf sprung. Pretty simple.

Thats soo cool!!

How much $$$$ was it?

Can't lie, very disappointed, I didn't think you would ever sell out, even with how rare jeeps are 😂 And I sold a Rubicon for that price, $3000 and it has the Peugeot trans , you bought a real POS, dam bro, this really sucks!

No way, that sucks!

Move the engine backwards, cut the fenders, 1" body lift, move steering box forward, then stretch the wheel base as must as you can, use Skyjacker or BDS 2" lift springs, adjust bump stops and install proper length shocks and modify mounts as needed. There is a really good chance you'll need a rear anti-rap bar to keep the u-joints and the leaf springs alive.

No Chevy 63s!? 💪🏼

Hell yeah, love jeeps and toyotas 🔥 cheers my guy🤙🏽🤙🏽

Appreciate the shout out 🫡 me and Mel had hope bro..4.0s ftw 🐐. Cool video man that whole process was top notch

Uncle Carl approves nice build

Excelente trabajo con poco presupuesto ,quiero mas videos del Jeep,pero mi corazon es toyota ,nissan👍👏👏👏👏🇦🇷🍻

I have a set of Brown Dog XJ solid mounts (I think they're the same) sitting around collecting dust now that I LS swapped my pile.

Curious how long those JK axles with 40s will last... I've contemplated similar for my XJ since bigger than 37s generally means moving the gas tank and other shit around.

🙌🙌

Did any of the holes line up for the xj seats or did you have to drill all 4 holes?

man i want a yj now

Can’t wait to see it at Azusa along side with my dads YJ 😂🔥
