Budget Built Jeep on 40s! 1988 Jeep Wrangler YJ Build

[@temolishiion_]

Appreciate the shout out 🫡 me and Mel had hope bro..4.0s ftw 🐐. Cool video man that whole process was top notch

[@66Duffman]

Yessir thanks for the knowledge as always 💯

[@ChronicOvertightener]

Perfection is the enemy of progress. Give her hell, boys! Lot of overbuilt rigs seeing road duty. Getting out there in what you have works just fine.

[@yermoffroad]

Did any of the holes line up for the xj seats or did you have to drill all 4 holes?

[@66Duffman]

They were close but none of them lined up

[@hotshtsr20]

Curious how long those JK axles with 40s will last... I've contemplated similar for my XJ since bigger than 37s generally means moving the gas tank and other shit around.

[@66Duffman]

I’m curious too since most people avoid these axles so who knows it might work out 😂

[@vwclub3]

I'm surprised the dana 30 didn't break the second the tires got the lugnuts put on lol 5.13 have like a half tooth of engagement...... I destroy axles on 35s taking it ez

[@russellcaldwell3518]

​@vwclub3 44 rear 35 front. Love how it's a budget build but try buying 2018 jk axles used. You're not gonna get them and stay in budget. These guys are full of shit

[@oldmanthez6146]

88 was carburared and doesn't have a family style roll bar.

[@66Duffman]

Well this is a 88 4cylinder 🤔

[@sombdywakehicks]

That's not an 88. The YJs didn't get the full roll bar until 92. Although, the Wrangler badging on the rear quarter panels looks the same that way on my buddies 89 model. I'm not sure when, but they eventually went to just a decal instead of plastic emblem. So since someone did an engine swap it is feasible that they could have also swapped in a late model rollbar.

[@chadrossiter156]

My 89 wrangler has hood decals 4.2 carbed and full rollbar that mounts to windshield

Damn right 👏🏻

[@cmac956]

you built the Jeep that I want to build .I really like the squair head lights and the 6 cylinder engine .the 40's are cool aswell. good job .hope to see more on this Jeep .

[@66Duffman]

Thanks for watching! You’ll definitely see more 💪🏻

[@jahbrony3650]

ill sell you my YJ lol

[@vwclub3]

When did they make a dana 35 front ... and 35s snap axles on dana 30 front

[@66Duffman]

My mistake it’s a JK Dana 30 front axle

[@vwclub3]

@66Duffman atleast you upgrade from junk 30 to better 30 .....if ya lock it your gonna need cromoly axles or rcv gusset the c and truss it and it will hold up to some abuse on 33s 35s are pushing it if your heavy on the skinny peddle ... can also use wj knuckles for bigger front brakes and a little more clearance on tie rod.... and wouldn't go any lower then 4.55s only have 1 tooth of engagement at 4.88s .... working with glass as a ring gear

[@stylze5767]

SUGGESTION: your shackle angle is terrible almost 90 degrees and is the reason you have next to no flex.. get a shackle relocation kit or make one so the shackles are at a 45 degree or close to it and youll see a massive difference

[@66Duffman]

Thanks for the info ℹ️

[@howardtowler6146]

That has to be the wimpiest looking jeep I've ever seen. I've always wanted a jeep but not this one 2:38

[@cw50must]

Turned out pretty good look forward to seeing it in action.

[@66Duffman]

Yessir 💪🏻

[@dresilva11]

Is this something you would consider doing again 😁?

[@66Duffman]

Possibly 🤔

[@dresilva11]

@66Duffman I have a 90YJ that I want to upgrade the whole drivetrain 😅.. possibly engine swap to

[@TJY2K]

I love the get it running motive! Some weight in the rear like a spare tire will help with the flex of the rear lol

[@66Duffman]

Yup definitely 💯 I have a tire carrier I’ll put on

[@campingincolorado6432]

Looks to me the engine was swapped out with a newer 6.4ltr instead of the original 6.0. The engines don't interchange and the motor mounts sit to far forward causing the fan to hit the radiator, they probably didn't change the bushing in the end of the crank either. 88 yj didn't come with fuel injection.

[@66Duffman]

Confused here…4.0 was swapped in and the 4clinder is EFI in 88

[@JAV87882]

whats the model for the rims?

[@jonathancastaneda8242]

You should have move the rear axle back. It’s leaf sprung. Pretty simple.

[@66Duffman]

Moved it back 2 inches 👍

[@piremo]

que buen video y si al instalar el motor 6 cil devieron aver reposiciionado los motor mount un poco atras

[@hotshtsr20]

I have a set of Brown Dog XJ solid mounts (I think they're the same) sitting around collecting dust now that I LS swapped my pile.

[@66Duffman]

I’m interested 👀

Awesome! Are you interested in testing Jeep lighting stuff? We're looking for some sponsorship collab with someone like you.

[@CarlSunderlin]

[@66Duffman]

[@chiefknowstomuch]

Move the engine backwards, cut the fenders, 1" body lift, move steering box forward, then stretch the wheel base as must as you can, use Skyjacker or BDS 2" lift springs, adjust bump stops and install proper length shocks and modify mounts as needed. There is a really good chance you'll need a rear anti-rap bar to keep the u-joints and the leaf springs alive.

[@66Duffman]

Sounds fun maybe down the road…I don’t know how much I wanna spend on this thing 😂

[@chiefknowstomuch]

@@66Duffman Moving the engine, cutting fenders and moving the wheel base is mostly elbow grease, and don't forget the Jeep acronym "Just Empty Ever Pocket"

[@chadrossiter156]

Definitely cut them ugly ass fenders and toss the plastic

[@Andrewloks99.]

Can’t wait to see it at Azusa along side with my dads YJ 😂🔥

[@66Duffman]

Me and your pops are twinning…mini me AF 😂

[@VVK5W]

Nice build. It's easy when you start with a spring over and 2.5" springs. Not to mention your goldmine of a scrap pile. This would easily be a 7k build for most.

[@russellcaldwell3518]

Yeah. Those jk axles are 3k alone. It's not a budget build and I'll never watch another video or theirs.

[@felixpereyda994]

I called it. I knew you were going jeep.

Can't lie, very disappointed, I didn't think you would ever sell out, even with how rare jeeps are 😂 And I sold a Rubicon for that price, $3000 and it has the Peugeot trans , you bought a real POS, dam bro, this really sucks!

[@66Duffman]

No no sir 3k is the cost of the total build 😂 regardless I feel ya…more Toyota content incoming 🚀

@66Duffman please 🙏 you'll all I have left on KZbin, there's way to many Jeep channels, we don't need another one, please, your channel is one of the only things I look forward to in my shyt life!

[@frankfilippone9679]

@66Duffman And, take it from someone who has had a ridiculous amount of Jeeps, you want nothing to do with that BA-5 or BA-10, Peugeot trans, it's a total pile of shyt

[@66Duffman]

Yup that’s why I got rid of it for the Ax15 😂

[@frankfilippone9679]

@66Duffman I just left you that message on Instagram 😆 The Peugeot BA-5 & BA-10 are completely garbage, and I heard you say they welded the motor mounts? My friend did the 4 to 6 on a 97 TJ , shyt just bolted in, not sure about the first YJs , I had 1 but it was a 3 speed auto, it was my gardeners, he had it from new, she had 350,000 miles on the 4.2 , he dropped dead a few months after I bought it for $300 , it literally out lasted him , unfortunately, RIP 🙏 Steve the gardener

So i click on this video to see a budget build and the first thing you throw on are jk axles that you "have laying around"? That's not a budget build and this is a bullshit budget bro. Jk axles on marketplace blows the budget right off the rip.
