  • Great build man and those prices are unheard of down here in Florida! People want $3,000 for a Jeep with no engine in south Florida! I wouldn't get a Jeep newer than a 95 personally. YJ's are the best! I'm about to get a 91 straight 6 this weekend hopefully!

  • $800 for gears? youre high for paying that much, i just did 4.56s front and rear on my xj for a little over $350. thats including the master install kit.

    as for that 2.5l "iron mike" its stong enough for rockcrawling if you also regear your transfer case with axles.

  • Did the car get any smoother after u've installed the 4'' kit? is it still a bumpy ride like it was on stock?

  • I think you have to re gear the axles you couuld put 44's on it if it is geared right

  • 33s on a 3 in lift is about the biggest u can go and its a jeep bro they arent race cars i got a 90 4 cylinder and it takes a lil while for it to get up to speed on freeway but offroad it handles like a charm :D

  • That was truly beautiful. . . enjoyed every second.

  • Question... Okay so i have a 95Wrangler YJ 4Cylinder and it has a 3'' body lift, and 33'' all terrains... How much bigger (Tire wise and lift wise) can i go.. And also how fast can it go.. Cause at the moment its pretty slow going

  • @The95WranglerYJ the bigger tires and lift you put on it the slower its gunna go is usually how that works especially with the 4 banger but guess you could go as big as you wanted

  • @mcgrath56 change the gears and go as big as ya want

  • @The95WranglerYJ My buddy had 7 inches of lift and 37s with his 95 4 banger automatic struggles. but both his and mine (92 straight 6 5 speed on 35s soon to be 37s on 7 inches) are full suspension lift no body lift. if its a daily driver id say keep it 3 with 33s plus the ax5 trans will eventually break ( id get rid of the body lift and go suspension though. if its not a daily but you wanna keep it legal well that a whole different ball game there

  • @The95WranglerYJ

    You are maxed out right now. Do not add any more lift or increase your tire diameter with that engine. And don't waster your money trying to add power to that engine to get bigger tires, it's not going to work. Recommend losing the 3" body lift for 3-4" suspension. I put 35s and 5" lift on the same jeep, had to spend another $800 on 4.88 gears just to reach 60 mph.

  • can someone help me find a jeep for a good price??

  • Hey why was it not reliable to go to work and back???? I have a 94 wrangler and it gets me to work and back with rain snow or sun shine all week and it's great on gas.

  • @Dachevymane Didn't say it was unreliable, driving to and from work and school with 34" tires just wasn't ideal. If I had the money I would have kept the jeep and bought a little commuter beater car. Thanks for watching.

  • Yo. what did you use to paint the hard top mang.

  • very badass, i wish i could've gotten as lucky as you with my 90... lol

  • dude swampers nicee ideaaa

  • o my god

  • Hey Check out my 1989 YJ i got 33s on mine

  • what mpg does a stock 4cyl get?

  • $900!!!!? IM gonna buy a jeep wrangler 1990 for 1500... do u think is a good deal? the engine is not in good shape but still runs

  • @ateateate123123 it doesn't sound like a bad deal it could be and good start, just make build it into what you want. Good luck!

  • @ateateate123123 a 90' for 1500 is only good if they YJ has mods and a good body. see here in canada ,most old vehicles are rusted out because during winter theirs more salt on the road then snow!

    if the body and all is good, it wont cost much to go to a scrappers and get a engine and tranny with like 100K miles on it.

  • I see a steal nice buy I wish id have found it before i bought mine..Enjoy fellow jeeper..

  • @thumpersavage5cs Thanks for watching man, you too!

  • love the jeep reminds me of what ive done to mine. how long have you had the rc lift on i just put mine on about two months ago just wondering if you were still running it or how you like it

  • @mthsmouse thanks dude, I sold the jeep to my uncle and it still has the rc lift I loved it and now he does, I was happy with it.

  • @mcgrath56 nice jeep at least you sold it to a family member so if you stop by your uncles house you can just ask him hey can i take the ole jeep for a spin?

  • @09adge13 yea man it was a win win $ and still get to driver her haha... thanks for watching dude!

  • Sick shit I bought my 95 wrangler for 800 off a woman who was gonna trade it in but they only offered her 500. And that was probably 6yrs ago and only had to put a battery in it, and it had I think 70k and now it has over 200k and still runs like a charm! Best $800 investment I've ever made!:P

  • @lonnielee069 Thanks for watching dude. You got an awesome deal definitely a good investment!

  • @mcgrath56 how did you like those lockers??? what about for daily driving??

  • did u have to change the gearing? how did the engine handle turning the larger tires?

  • O.O

    900$ with the engine or with OUT

  • @saib717 with the engine

  • $900!! what! did u buy it off ebay or and auction or what? how many miles did it have?

  • @GameUrg yea man $900, bought it from a guy that live down the road from me, arond 75k

  • @mcgrath56 crap i bought a yj with 210k for 2k

  • the only thing i envy is that you have the luxury of a hard top and full metal doors. i love my YJ, but its only got the half metal doors and a rag top.

  • great buy for 900

  • not a transformation

  • @BraydonSweats what is it then guy, you didn't see a change from start to finish?

  • $900 dollars???

  • How Long did it take you to finish everything, and how much did everything cost. I am interested cause i have a 91 yj and want to do the same things.

  • i would put a v8 or v6 i prefer a v8 it can be a chevy engine here in costa rica l4 (4 cilinders dont work

  • I want my time back.

  • How does it drive on the road with the super swamps and 4 cylinder?

  • I love the pic in 1:57 looks BA!!!

  • wait...u bought the jeep for $900??? :O

  • $900? I sold hard top like that $1500 and doors $700 lol

  • should a went with the 33" for greater travel but hey it is a jeep props for not leaving it in the garage ! rubber side down google arizona virtual jeep club

  • Looks like a good start. Should do a spring over!

  • mine looked the exact same as yours stock but is now on 38.5" boggers

  • good job i have a 95 yj with 7in of lift 4 6in kc lights and a 2 pc hard top ridein on 33x12.50 trail diggers i love it

  • people wiht jeeps have a attitude jeeps can do any thing ther the same as any other vehicle no different

  • when you had stock bumpers and got stuck where did you hook the strap?

  • Nice job! all 7 vids...

  • I hope to do the same but probably stay with a three inch lift

  • hay man, what kind of paint did you use on your hard top. I would like to paint mine black to, but I don't know wich kind of paint a should use to make a good job. your's look nice

  • hey man how do you like the 4 inch lift? do u wish u went bigger or is it the perfect size? is it long arm or short arm?

  • nice job... im looking to do the same thing

  • nice jeep cant believe you only paid 900 for it lol and the outcome is great very nicely done man

  • what state do you live in where you can buy a jeep for 900

  • is the 2.5 liter powerful enough for highway driving and just general driving?

  • No, buddies got a 94 with the 4banger with a 4in lift on 33's and he struggles to get above 55 on the highway

  • i got a 91 with the 2.5 n stock it had problems on hills n shit but i put the aem intake, throttle body spacer and ported throttle body from a 4.0 jeep n it does sooo much better

  • did he keep the stock gears in. Going with bigger tires and keeping the stock gears takes away a lot of power

  • @xmoddriver16 I have a 90 with a 2.5.. a 4in lift and I run 35s. I can run 65 to 70 on the highway. The only difference is my rear-end is a Ford 8.8 with 4:10 gears. I can pretty much go anywhere and do anything.

  • yo my 91 has the 2.5 n stock it sucked but i did the aem brute force intake , throtle body spacer, and ported 4.0l throttle body and flowmaster muffler n it made a big diff it does fine now

  • i have an 88 yj and im planing on doing the same to mine except a 2in. body lift also

  • i got a 3 inch rough country and a 3 inch body.i got plenty of room for my 35s

  • nice, this was when i just had the 4" rc suspension lift got the 2" body lift on after

  • @mcgrath56 on that 4 inch lift would you need a slip yoke eliminator and a transfer drop kit for it? im getting a yj soon and wanted to lift it

  • @09adge13 you need more than a gutless little 4cyl for it get the 6cyl at least

  • transformation???

  • yea and?

  • Nice job! Ive got a '91 cant wait to get it lifted and some tires! Ive got some mud terrain 31's on er now! Do you still run with your sway bar on? i was thinking bout removing mine to get some more flex? Thnx Keep on Jeepin on

  • i may be going out to buy this EXACT jeep (engine and lift) i want to put big tires like that on...do you notice an decrease in power or any sluggishness when driving it?

  • I am thinking about getting a jeep wrangler YJ. Is it possible to install power windows and power locks on a Jeep Wrangler YJ?

  • @pinoiako916 why would you want those useless gadget on a yj???

  • @pinoiako916 yea i agree with cedrik, power windows and locks are gonna make it a pain in the ass to take the doors off

  • Awesome vid! I love YJ's! Subscribe to me!

  • I usually find my YJ like this 1:24

  • do those 34's rub at all?

  • they did when it was flexed but after i got the 2" body lift it was perfect

  • i wanna put 35's with a 3 inch lift on my yj would that work?

  • prob. not the 34's were tight with my 4" rough country lift but then i added the 2" body lift and it was fine

  • At around 1:50 the lights in the background look like a face of some sort of creature that is about to be the demise of that poor man behind the jeep

  • Coming along nicely. I finished a YJ build last year. Put a 4" Tuff Country lift then went SOA for a total of 11" It fits 38's with plenty of room for flex. It was a bit spendy to do it right with high steer ect. I think the best move I made was putting lockers front and rear and putting D44's front and rear. LOCKERS LOCKERS LOCKERS

  • sounds sick, thanks for checking it out.

  • Did you like the RC lift, I want the 4 inch, but need extended brake lines, I want to put on 33 12.50 15s, on stock 15 8 wheels. Will buy a 1 3/8 shackle front and back lift, and 2 inch body to go with it if I want in taller afterward. How slow is the acceleration, I have a 95, 4 hamster too. Should I buy the tune up kit at quadratec, spark plugs, lines, distributer cap, oil filter air filter. Thanks and nice jeep

  • Thanks dude, Yea I like the lift came with heavy duty leaf springs. Acceleration isn't too bad it's definitely no race car. Yea I'd go with that kit any extra power is always nice.

  • yeah decided to go the easy way, 3 inch body, 2 inch shackles, and new skyjacker hydro shocks 2 inches longer. Thanks dude, and i hope the 33s dont rub

  • Hi, really nice YJ transformation, i just recently got a 89 just like yours in white and 4 cylinder manual. I want to mess around with it a little too, so far i only got black cragar wheels. I was wondering what kind of "cheap shakle lift" you did on it and how much lift you got? right now it has 30" tires, did you have any problems with the 31" tires? what kind of paint did you use for the top? again, nice jeep! i will post a pic of mine soon

  • thanks a lot, I got the shackle lift at autozone it added about 2 inches, no problems with the 31's and for the paint I used black enamel out of the can and just brushed it on thanks for watching

  • what kid of paint did you use for your rims? did the paint look good and did it stay on for a long time? i just got my 91 yj yesterday!!!

  • i think it was just black enamel paint... congrats on the jeep and good luck!

  • haha i have a 6 cil automatic. everyone wants to buy that shit or trade me for they 4 cil.

  • Hey first off I just wanted to say nice yj man looks real good... have a question want to mount a d ring in the middle of my bumper like you got is that the best place to mount one?

  • yea thats a good spot to mount it I was gunna put it in the back but i figured I'd put it in the front in case I had to get pulled out

  • nice video man .. looks good,, check out my yj vids ..

  • A yj like yours when you bought it (stock) here in venezuela worth like 25000 US$

    They are so cool, i have a wj and im looking for a yj or tj..

    See ya

  • cool jeep!! check mine ... or die trying

  • very nice jeep. one question. im getting a wrangler for my first car probably and was wondering if the 4" lift is enough for the 34s because i planned on putting 33s when i get mine.

  • thanks man, the 34's rubbed a little with the 4" lift but then I got the 2" body lift and they fit perfect

  • nice car man. Next year i'm bying my jeep wrangler. Can't wait..

  • stock gears? any problems running 34s with a 4 cylinder?

  • yea stock gearing, kind of a slug on the road but once you drop it into 4 wheel low you got all the power you need

  • hey,nice jeep, how is yours on gas,i want to get one and put 33s on it and figure out what size of lift,do you think it has enought power for 33s or should i just get a 6 cylinder? thanks.

  • It's not bad on gas, it would have enough power for the 33's but if you have the xtra money to play with go with the 6 cylinder. Good luck dude

  • maybe 34's like yours

  • 4.0 but my moms a dumbass, but since i moved out im just slowly adding on..i really like the idea and i will keep you posted for when I make a slideshow!! thanks bro!!

  • thanks for watching bro, yea man I can't complain about the 2.5 it gets me where I need to go.. but it is always nice to have that extra power.. yea def keep me posted and good luck with it dude

  • what gears do you use with those 34s and the 4 banger?

  • I like the slideshow, it was pretty good. I have a 1990 yj also, it already had a shackle lift..im taking it off and adding a 6 inch Rough Country suspension lift and im keeping my 35 bfgr on it as of now. I can't complain about those tires ive had the truck burried too the frame and have never had too been pulled out, and im pushing that with a 2.5 liter..I accauly have it in the shop right now..2100 dollars for a brand new 2.5 liter..i was going to go

  • I,m sittig here on this cold, wet English spring day looking up any YJ YouTube vids. and I find your set of wheels ! I like the transformation. I sold my Land Rover (very cheap parts) for my '94 4.0 lt YJ (very expensive parts) and I love it. God Bless America ! (oh, and the U.K) ROB.

  • thanks for watching, its 80 degrees in ny right now, yea i love the black cragar wheels they look great... good luck with your YJ !

  • i like cherokees better (NOT grand cherokee) but this yj is killer with the 34's now just take the fender flares off and it will be way better.

  • thanks man, yea I took the rear flares off already gotta get some flat fender flares for the front or just make my own

  • aweome yj man. i gotta 1995 and i got a 3" body lift that came on it. bout to get rid of body lift and get me a 4" suspension and 2" shackles. mine sits on 33" comfortably but thats it. i gonna get 35s on it. man yours looks awesome tho.

  • thanks for checking it out dude, yea I just put a 2" body lift on it, so I'm sitting on 6" now.. I was thinking about getting a spring over axle kit which would add another 5.5" with a total of 11.5 but thats just an idea... good luck with yours!

  • yeah i will :D

  • ah sweet i might hafta do it with mine it looks good.

  • thanks, let me know how it comes out

  • Nice YJ. did you paint your top yourself?

    check mine out

  • thanks dude, yea I painted the whole thing with a brush came out pretty good

  • i like it

  • thanks dude

  • are the 4 banger any good? cause i might buy one but i'm not to shure about the power

  • the power is decent, its not the fastest thing on the road but when you get back in the woods in 4low its tough to stop with a nice set of tires, thanks for watching

  • I had a question i got a 1989 jeep wrangler yj 2.5l 4 cylinder i have been looking everywhere for an intake you got any advice on where i could get one?

  • youu siickkk sombitch! ... Hey wheres the pussy magnet? Heard there a real cheap way to incrase horsepower.

  • Thanks dude, have a 4" rough country lift, 34" super swampers and cragar wheels I think they're 15x10, just ordered a 2" body lift to get some more clearance for the 34's. I love my yj.
