Hello all!!!
After going around machinery my whole life, and started welding with my dads friend at 12 years old. I figured it’s time to build something. I found a 94 yj for $1500. Frame is pretty good except for the rear upper shock mounts. I got the kit from taboo customs. Dave the owner was very cool and knowledgeable.
Over the last few months I bought everything under Jeep. 2.5 lift kit l,all new brake system. Front and rear master rebuild kits. New ball joints new steering, new body mounts. Engine is 2.5 but runs sweet. All new joints.
I will be lifting the tub off to paint the frame and undercoat the tub.
There are a bunch of questions to ask, but I’ll start with what I have for now.
Thanks
Jimmy!

Wow, my '91 had the same bumper crunch when got it and a little wrinkle in the fender, figure the PO probably hit a tree.
Nice looking rig though the rust is a little concerning, YJs' are prone to it.
I'm in the SW and mine was clean, guess I was just lucky.
I wish you the very best of luck, you will find quite a few very helpful folks here helpful with any questions that you have.
Welcome aboard!

Jimmy check out this YouTube channel. I found it useful for lots of common yj issues. Here is one I found the other day, which worked great.
