Ok since I plan on doing tons over the summer I decided I would start up a YJ build thread too.

When I bought it

1994 YJ
2.5L 4cyl
2 inch suspension Lift
Cragar D windows
31" bridgestone A/t's

Work done so far

In the process of taking off trac bars (man they don't come off easy)

2 toolboxes mounted on the rear wheel wells

Mounted a CB

Hi-Lift mounted on hood

Just throwin it out there, with 2" of suspension, you probably won't need your sway bar. I do still have my track bar up front (too lazy to take it off and see how it rides) but the sway bar might not be neccesary. Maybe when i take my track bar off i can tell you how it rides, just some food for thought.

Everything else sounds great, i also want some booms but promised myself not to spend money on the jeep this summer, maybe if i sell some of my old crap or birthday money. Looking forward to the progress.

Thats a great action shot!!

I just thought of something to add to the list, herculiner

definitely OE :thumbsup:

 

[Brads_nky_yj]

PB Blaster is a penetrating oil you spray on old rusted nuts, bolts, joints, stuf like that to help break things loose. Imagine it as a super version of WD40.

I mix 50/50 ATF and Power Steering fluid and put it in a compressed air bottle. Works great for freeing rusty hardware!

Not necessary for any driving? I wasn't really planning on putting on sway bar discos, but I figured i'd add it to the list. Herculiner would be good, I dont have any carpeting now. I'm also planning on putting in 2 pioneer 4x6 speakers in the front and maby a sound bar. I also forgot to put up some other work i've done

Installed a VDP center console

Put on the 2 tow hooks in front

Thats a great action shot!!

all the credit goes to ALTheKiller

Looking good man. I love the tool box idea. Im goign to fab some up when I finally get my stick welder.

I like the wheelin shot too, gotta love when mud is flyin.

 

[93jeepREDSOX]

Well some say you will need the front track bar for highway driving. Like i said once i have the time to remove the front track bar i would be more than happy to report how it handles. I do mostly back country roads 50 at the max most of the time, maybe 60. Sounds like a busy summer, look forward to the build. I know that next summer could be busy for me, when my 33's run out i am getting 35's.

Ok well I went down and bought a 48" all cast hi-lift from 4wheel parts, mounted it on the hood

 

[94WorknProgress]

great looking hi-lift set up, looks to almost match your paint too. looking forward to the build, the toolboxes look great too.

 

[provinT13]

Thanks for the interest guys. I'm debating for what I should do first with my summer, any input for order of installment on the list?

I'm glad to see someone is happy with wheeling the 2.5, with the right gearing it's a great off road motor. It's also easy on parts. You have a great set up going, you should have lots of fun without breaking the bank.

 

[93jeepREDSOX]

Don't know if you are still interested, but i am a part of the no trackbars and no swaybar club. Drove the exact same and now i can flex a little more.

 

[her94yj]

same here i sawzalled my front and rear off as it sits bone stock and it helped a TON. then ill go and delete them right once i go and put the lift on

Bought a shovel today, 10$ at sears, 2$ for hardware (sorry for the crappy pics, dad went out of town for wrok and has been for a while, he left the camera in his car on accident, only phone pics.
