We did not use an etching primer. This jeep is gonna be a fun trail rig, so the 1k base should be sufficient to get us started on it. It'll be pretty easy to pull the doors off and touch-up as needed. The body/tub will get 2k epoxy on it as needed. At this point, any progress looks way better...

It's the 1k Raptor primer and paint. Believe it or not that door was warped when we started, and by carefully using heat in a few strategic places we got the door to pop back out to where it needed to be! My friend helping me with this build has been working in the automotive industry for 20...

Yesterday we tackled door #2. I was given the advice that a propane torch and a stiff scraper would save me a couple of pizza's in $$ on stripper, so figured we would give it a whirl. That actually worked way better than what we expected!!! Once we got the top layers stripped off, out came...

aircraft stripper will be your new friend. apply it thick with a cheap chip brush, let it sit about 20 mins, then use a plastic scraper to take it off. It will probably take a couple of rounds. You can get it at Autozone in the autobody section with the paint. The paint we applied is literally...

Started working on the doors yesterday. A previous owner decided that a super thick skim coat and bedliner was the best idea to cover a dent, so out came the aircraft stripper, a scraper, and a stiff bristle brush. After that it was a quick job with a wire wheel to scuff down the remaining high...

For now the plans are a somewhat budget lift, leave it spring under and on open diffs and put the majority of the money into the LS swap. I'm not going to super cheap the budget lift, but for now the goal is to clear 33's with some room to spare. Probably a BDS lift kit with the M.O.R.E...

Thank you. He tossed in the brand new soft top he had for it as well, so I'm counting that as a win as well. First real step will be remove the tub from the frame and inspect it for any major rust issues and address those first. The front body mount under the radiator is pretty wallowed out, but...

Just picked up my new Jeep project! it's a 95 YJ roller project. Previous owner had decided he wanted to do an LS swap and then ran out of time/energy/money/umph/whatever, and posted it on marketplace. I picked it up for 1k. That is my plan as well. Thankfully, the gentleman had the foresight...

Nice looking YJ! Willkommen!

Which axles do you have? Curious minds, and all that.

Howdy, new from northern Alabama here.

I would go with synthetic. Wire is a major pain. It's prone to bird caging if not re-spooled properly, and the dangers of it snapping under load and causing injury is quite high. It's also heavy as hell. Synthetic line is super easy to dry out, wash, etc... Literally you can toss it in a laundry...

Just popping in and saying good morning and howdy from Rocket City, USA (Huntsville, AL). Picking up a roller project YJ on Friday. Plans are to do a budget LS swap!
