[QUOTE="Fouledplugs, post: 425257, member: 18666"] This 1995 YJ was purchased for me when I was 16 as my first vehicle. This build will focus on leafs, a stretch, a LS, and some one ton axles. This build will take a while as I have a job that requires my full attention and focus from time to time, to include traveling outside of the country for multiple months at a time. It’s nothing special in it's current state, it has a 2.5 liter 4 cylinder that should have never been offered in a Jeep and an AX-5 manual transmission. I don’t recall how many miles it had on it when I was given the Jeep, I do believe it was under 100k, right now as it [U]sits[/U], it has 130k miles on it. It came with some off brand soft top so a Bestop soft top and frame was swapped in. Once it had the new soft top on it, it really transformed the overall appearance. I had a job and saved up and purchased a lift for it. I purchased a Rubicon Express 4” lift for it and added 33x12.50/15 SuperSwamper TSL’s. I wheeled it a lot. Almost every week I would be out wheeling it on trails that were close to the house. My twin brother had a YJ as well with the same exact lift and identical tires. Naturally, we wheeled a lot with one another. The 2.5 blew a headgasket and I found water in the oil, around that same time, I started my career and moved away from home. The Jeep stayed at my Dad’s house and has been sitting in it’s current state for ~10 years. 2020 rolled around and I am in a position to restore, rebuild, and modify it to what I believe will get me back on some trails more often. Currently, I have another 1995 YJ that I drive daily and a 2006 TJ that I purchased because it was clean and has extremely low miles; 14k. So I have plenty of Jeeps in the garage and am motivated to get this YJ built and back on the trails. I have been trying to dig up some pics from earlier years but I am struggling to find any. Here are two I could find.
