Jeep Yj Overhaul!! Reposted (moves from fab forum to here)
Here's my story:
I baught my jeep 2 years ago for 4000$ when i was 16 the jeep had 35" tires, 4" suspension lift and 1" body lift, The engine had 40 000km. This summer i decided to do a complete jeep rebuild. I baught another jeep tub and fenders Only issue was the area where the windshield and the body meets was rusted (its now being replaced) por 15'd the whole thing inside and out! did the same with my tail gate. hood and fenders. I have no budget for this build! im an 18 yr old kid still living at home no debts and no bills. But obviously i wont be buying everything brand new of coarse. I do still want to stay on the inexpensive side of a rebuild. Here are some pics of my progress: Started dissasembly: ![]() ![]() ![]() Started the inside of the jeep, Took dash of and took some pictures of the wiring for future reference ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() got my helper taking off the fender flares and stuff. ![]() ![]() some examples of the amount of rust, And future reference for were those bars go. ![]() ![]() took the 2 fenders off and the radiator. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Now that the front end was stripped. I stripped the interior and cut the old rotting tub off. I didnt even have to unscrew the bolt. all i had to do was pry the body off with a pry bar. ![]() ![]() ![]()
