Boatsiding my Jeep YJ

Well I'm jumping on the bandwagon and doing something I should have done a while ago. With my rockers trashed, it only makes sense to cut them out and improve the tub by adding boatsides. Sam's jeep turned out awesome so I'm going to follow in his footsteps. Hope you enjoy seeing me cut my Jeep into more pieces. Thanks for watching!!

Nice to see you back on building the yj

[@MadGreekOff-Road]

I’m sure it was a though decision to cut back into your YJ at this point in the build but the boat sides are totally worth it. Def one of my favorite and highly used mods on mine. Esp once you throw some uhmw at it. Awesome video as always and these came out looking great! Love this build!

[@altered_life]

Thanks brother!! It was a little hard at first cutting into work I’ve already done but you’re right, it’s so worth it in the end. I know you said before how you love yours so I figured I couldn’t go wrong. It’s for sure getting that UHMW love in the future. Thanks for watching buddy, can’t wait for your next video 🤘🏼🍻

[@silver_cd]

Thank god for this video, I've been patiently waiting for more

[@altered_life]

I appreciate your patience and support. I’ll try and get the next one out much sooner lol

[@skyhook040]

You said its not easy... if it was everyone would be doing it. I say its a great job and keep up the good work

[@altered_life]

I appreciate that!! Very true but I hope my videos help people try stuff like this because if I can do it then anyone can hahah. Thank you for watching!

[@skyhook040]

@Altered Life Yes, if you can do it, anyone can, lol. That's exactly how I feel lol. I know I have the ability. it's just the know how I don't have. Videos like yours helps, so keep up the good work and make more videos....

[@altered_life]

Hahah definitely working on it!! Life’s been crazy but I try to get out in the garage when I can. I appreciate you sticking along and I’m glad my videos help. Thanks again 🤘🏼🍻

[@OnTheSideOff-Road]

@altered_life glad to see you are back in the shop. What are you planning to do to protect your subfloor frame structure that is made of the small square tubing? It seems like a lot of square tubing to collect mud and debris even if painted / coated.

[@altered_life]

It’s good to be back! That’s a good question, I plan on welding everything I can possibly reach but then I will also seam seal the living hell out of every joint and lastly bedline it all with a nice thick coat to hopefully encapsulate everything. It’s going to be a lot of work but I’m hoping it will do the trick. I’ll for sure keep updating about it on the channel in the future

[@yermoffroad]

Have you trussed the front yet? Ive seen three jl rubicons break right at the FAD locally

[@BubbaMurica]

Seriously how much you want for the motobilt sliders?

[@Winch_Offroad]

I am going to be doing the same thing to my CJ7. I hope in by May!

[@altered_life]

It’s definitely some work but I think the pros outweigh it. Good luck with yours

[@michaelbrumbelow8515]

Alright so have a question about the rear. I know in an old video you Said you where going move the rear hanger to be able to use the yj springs instead of the xj springs. Any cons on doing that instead of the xj's?

[@Auxbeam]

Hi Wondering do you open to install some lights for your Jeep? We're the pro auto lighting company for nearly 20 year and we're looking for sponsorship your Jeep!

[@ceanerngaming-moonknight_yj]

Looks good. I'm thinking I'm going to have to boatside mine as my body is rusting out as well. Also what are you doing for shocks for your rear axle?

[@johncourtneyscott2757]

I like to see the percussion you guys have

[@altered_life]

We do motivate each other and definitively persuade each other deeper into these builds hahah

[@boostdtalon]

Wondering if I should do this with my Scrambler.

[@altered_life]

Now that would be cool!!

[@nathancarter2832]

I need those sliders you took off.

[@ballard12]

Motobilt sells the everyday

[@altered_life]

Hahah they are actually already sold, definitely keep an eye on their website for sales

[@alfredomartinez2615]

You selling the sliders?

[@altered_life]

They are actually already sold haha

[@jeepindave5464]

Since you have kids/dogs do the lj stretch kit motobilt has for that 15 inches and be my guinea pig. Lol

[@altered_life]

I wish I would have thought about it earlier in the build but I think I’m way to far at this point to make that jump. I wish I could be the Guinea pig but you got this lol

[@jeepindave5464]

@@altered_life onik onik?

[@jqram35]

Alex with the porn stache LOL

[@altered_life]

It is a glorious stache

[@BubbaMurica]

Are you selling your sliders now? I’ve got a 95 I need sliders you could donate those sweet Motobilt sliders to me lol I’m in Pa too

[@altered_life]

Hahah unfortunately they were sold prior to me taking them off. Keep an eye on motobilts website though, they go on sale a few times throughout the year so you might be able to snag them at a good price

[@BubbaMurica]

@@altered_life ok thanks I’ll keep an eye out

[@RAAservicesllc]

I want to buy the motobilt stuff

[@altered_life]

I actually already have them spoken for haha but they do run sales throughout the year. Subscribe to their email list and you can keep up when they go on sale

[@Blacksheeprc2024]

Figured youd gave up on this...dont lose your goals and end results.

[@altered_life]

Hahah no way, I’ll never give up on this build. Just unfortunately life hasn’t been very kind to us lately so I’ve just been busy. Hopefully I’ll be digging back into the build a lot more this spring and summer. Thank you for watching and I won’t forget my goals!
