- I'm a 17 year old senior in highschool. I wheeled it for the first time at a local trail this month with a friend from school and i had a blast! I felt like i could enter this moth after actually wheeling it! My dad bought this jeep when i was about ten. It had bald stock tires and a hard top and he never did much to it besides throwing on the new tires and soft-top before it was given to me for my 16th birthday present. We spent the couple weeks before my 16th birthday gutting the interior and replacing pretty much all of it to make it a more comfortable DD for highschool. I was hooked but most of the work i've done on it has been replacing the stock worn out parts like the radiator and the master cylinder. I play baseball for the highschool so i don't really have much time for a job except during the summer so my funds for mods are pretty low haha but i still love it! I'm going to UGA next year so hopefully I'll really be able to get going on my build!


How it sat on my 16th birthday. Sorry no pic from when we bought it.


After i wheeled it with my shirtless friend and his jeep in the background

YJ year of production, 1988

Specifications and modifications; 1988 XJ AW4 Transmission, 1988 XJ NP242 Selec-Trac Transfer Case, ECM and harness assembly from a 1993 XJ, 4.0L from a 1995 XJ, Fuel pump assembly unit from a 92-95 YJ, Rear drive shaft from a 1997(?) TJ, Seats from a Cavalier, Wheels and tires, Phantom A/T 32-12.50R15LT mounted on Cragar Steelies, misc dash parts from forum members, Rampage Soft Top from Amazon.com.

Brief history; I had bought this Jeep from a friend who had no time to work on this. It was a total mess, there were parts everywhere. There were two boxes of wiring, one was for the 1988 YJ, the other was from a 1993 XJ 4.0L. The interior was a mess as well, missing the steering wheel, seats and most of the dash. I also bought the 1988 XJ that was next to this YJ, both were bought for $400.00. I rewired and reset the pin-outs on the bulk head connector, re-wrapped the wire harness once I was happy with it. I bought the wheels and tires for $400.00 from my local salvage yard. I installed a 2" shackle lift to accommodate these wheels (only until I get the spring lift done). I bought a set of seats from a yard sale for $60.00, and only had to modify two holes on each seat. I had just recently bought and installed a complete soft top kit and installed it just last Wednesday night.

Thank you.
R. Emmons.
Vernal, UT.

I think that is enough. I am sure there is more that I forgot.

History:
I bought this Jeep new in 93, well somewhat new. According to the Salesman a woman had bought it and decided she did not like it. Why is it when you buy a used Jeep it is always a woman that owned it?
Anyway it had 1500 miles on it so I considered it new.(so did the loan officer).
I started modding it right away.
I am a little embarassed with what I did to it.
Hey it was the 90s.
Add a leaf and 31 inch tires. All the aftermarket stuff I could throw at it.

I did my SOA in 97 and went to a Jeep Jamboree in 98.I was hooked.
I joined our local club (MIJC) in 98.
I put the nine inch in the same year after watching one of our members roll down a cliff after the Dana 35 broke and the axle shaft came loose from the rear end.
I was also not running a traction bar and tore up more driveshafts than I care to remember.
I put a MORE traction bar in 04 after a buddy was watching me trying to get up the waterfall at Tellico. He said did you know you have severe axle wrap?
I really had no clue that I had it. At the time I was running Rubicon Express SOA springs in the rear, that were suspose to control axle wrap. Yea right.
Did the wheelbase stretch during the winter of 09.
Here it is before the Sniperfab fenders, at Flat Nasty in MO.

Here it is back in 2010 in Moab.

Ever since I was a little kit watching Jurassic Park I always wanted a YJ. Well after high school and working all summer doing construction back in 2007 I saved up $1800 for my wrangler fund, I quickly found out you can’t find a decent wrangler for $1800 my search went on in till I found this completely stock 1992 YJ for $800 that had a rod knock (PO said he ran it out of oil) well picked it up and drove it home rod knocking and everything that’s when my jeep addiction started.
Engine, drivetrain
Well I tore apart the 4.0 and found out how bad it really was pistons scored out of spec cam wiped out etc... Well I had it punched .040 over and bought some custom made pistons from Diamond racing, then added Comps 4x4 extreme torque cam kit, to let it all flow I added banks monster exhaust. Over the next year I blew out two ax15 transmissions and decided to upgrade and add a NV3550, a week after I installed the NV the Crap stock Dana 35 exploded, well I told my auto instructor/wheeling buddy about it. He told me to come to his class after hours with a pickup truck I knew something was up. When I get to his class he said hey can you throw this brand new ford 8.8 out in the garbage its taking up space I said sure no problem well a week later my jeep had a new ford 8.8 under it. The 8.8 guts already had 4.10s with LS in it so I left it alone. I recently added a locker to the front Dana 30.
Suspension
Well my buddies was upgrading his YJ to run 40s on it, So I basically got all his leftover parts for cheap Picked up his pro-comp 4 inch lift and added a new set of 9000 pro comp shocks, also picked up his like new 34-12.50-16 swamper MTs that’s about it and threw out the sway bar and track bars.
Body and Interior
Body is stock with a TJ Front bumper with a XCR 8000 pound winch, and a custom rear bumper. Added a few goodies to the interior CD player, CB, and a Chest of spare parts/tools.
This YJ is my Daily Driver. It’s been wheeling all over the country and in 2010 I drove it from Michigan to Alaska where we sit now. I built her by myself with my own money, it’s never been a trailer queen and I plan to keep it that way The jeep is along way from being done, This year I plan on starting a frame off restoration with a LCOG build so stay tuned.

Accessories:Engo 9000lb winch, tow straps, drings, snatch block, tow hooks front and rear, Rhino lined tub, hardtop, full doors, half doors, bikini top windjammer. kenwood deck, power bass speakers. KC lights.
I bought my jeep when I turned 16 I am now 18, black with hardtop and full doors with 4.2 and 79,000 miles on it. Since then I've been pouring paychecks into making it nicer and more my own. It still has a long way to go but I am trying to do all the work I can myself. The suspension is next on the list but most everything done I have either designed or built myself.




this last picture is after i had installed the BDS lift and gotten some black steelies with 31s. It was my first build stage.The others are stage 2 and close to current. Sorry for no wheeling pictures, I am at school and don't have my pictures from my computer at home..

This is my third Jeep build so far and by far my favorite to date (first being a 99 TJ, second a 78 CJ I turned into a buggy of sorts). We picked this rig up about 18 months ago with a 4” RC lift and a set of 33” MTRs that had chewed up the fenders pretty badly. We started with the basic repairs that any 20 year old vehicle requires and moved into a light build that brought us to the specs above. I’ve built this Jeep in my garage for some moderate type wheeling that my wife and I enjoy doing which includes a mix of rock and trail riding (not too keen on mud) while still trying to keep it street legal for the rare occasions we decide to cruise for ice cream. For our use, the height, COG, and clearance that the suspension and skids we’ve got really work well and are very stable off road. We try and get out at least once a month and hit the North Texas trails and in about 6 months look forward to some Tuscon, AZ wheeling when we move there.

I know how many entries there are but our judges couldn't decide on the same 10 so I fudged the contest a little because I made you wait a couple extra days.

Enjoy!!

Thank you for your help Joe. This was stickied faster than Scary-Animal's keyboard.

You're welcome!

Perhaps the thread title should be edited to include "56K BEWARE".

Gotta vote for TSEJEEPERS, I respect a guy who has held on to a "new" vehicle that long and still mods/enjoys it.
