Yeah, that is what took so long for me. Finding a solid enough candidate to start with. I wanted relatively low miles for the age, minimal rust, and the I-6 with auto (which was the most difficult part). I like a standard transmission, but my left knee is going bad, so clutch work hurts now.

Just read through your thread this morning. Very nice job! Love that you're going for the lightly modified open air cruiser theme. I went a similar route. I'm rocking 30x9.50s on stock height springs with 1" body mount lift and it looks nice. I'm not going to be doing anything serious, so...

Stopping power comes from surface area. And holes=less surface area. To put it short, I had a built 2000 T/A WS6 that was made for handling. I was told by people who autocrossed the platform to avoid vented or slotted rotors and keep it simple. Purchase good quality blanks (rotors) and spend...

And after a month of gassing off, I finally got to put the final touches on it. Ever since I was about 8 years old, I remember seeing a couple of the Islander package Wranglers and thinking they were the coolest, Miami Vice looking, things around. Now, I'm getting my own. Found the...

First time working a tricoat paint. I chose Toyota's Blizzard Pearl Scuffed, washed, and tacked the tub down and applied dark gray Durabak Installed new glass

Knocked out the cracked windshield Started scuffing and spot primer Skimmed and prepped the tub: Snagged a set of factory running boards and prepped them along with the other flares Blasted everything apart, masked, put drop plastic out, made a filtration system, did a final tack, and...

*sighs Walks to other side. Groans and rubs temples.... Patched the floor pan where the flip up seat was causing stress cracks

And more rust Some seam sealer: During this time, I replaced the body mounts with the one-piece 1" lift-body mount kit, replaced a couple of worn main eye hangers, shackles, ditched the 2 1/2" junk lift for some soft ride stock height springs, and got a new rear driveshaft. Got rid of the...

As I pulled parts off or gained access to the frame in other ways, it got cleaned and coated in POR 15. New fenders installed. Also sold the hard top and full doors minus the lock cylinders and picked up a set of half doors. Got really lucky and was able to remove the windshield hinges with...

I found this one in May of this year. Over the next 3 months, I made it into exactly what I wanted. First thing was getting some clean sheet metal. I knew the fenders had rust, and having owned many classics, rust is ALWAYS worse than it appears. The Fenders can be complicated to repair...

I had searched for a YJ for about 6 months, passing over probably 95% of what was listed. I missed out on the first one. the second i went to look at looked way better in pics, but since it was at the top of my budget and needed a proper paint job, I passed. The 3rd one popped up locally and...

Hello all. I'm a relatively active member on FSJNetwork, but now that I have a new YJ ride, I'd figure I'd join here and start a specific thread on my recent purchase for my daily driver. I'm not new to Jeeps (or AMCs for that matter). I've owned this one for over 7 years now and keep making...
