Dirt Daily. Putting some Seats in the Jeep YJ

Its hard to sell a Jeep with no seats. But its not really hard to put seats in a Jeep, as long as you find the right ones.
The Jeep isn't done yet, but if you think this is the perfect Jeep for you email me at

The junkyard YJ was my favorite episode of DED. Something about getting vehicles running cheaply appeals to me lol.

[@Wrenchingandadventuring]

Man absolutely. I’ve watched that episode 100 times

[@brackeng1294]

Same. I loved the colors too.

[@johnknipp]

Same - that episode helped motivate me to pull the trigger on my first Wrangler.

[@mikepoint4717]

Right on Fred , I hope the Jeep lives a long adventurous life.

[@johnh3476]

Doing start up projects for kids is great idea, you should do more of them :)

[@merc1tree2]

Getting rid or making use of things sitting around in the corner is a great feeling! Especially when it was put in the corner you were like yeah I’ll use this one day and then you actually do! Keep it up Fred

[@lestaylor3641]

Fred i love this jeep. Its exactly what i would like. 4 cyl , white. I have never had a 4x4 and ive always wanted one. I turned 63 in nov. Hated to see dirt everyday go away but more good things to come ahead. ✌

[@CalebEllisComedy]

Gotta 1993 yj that I’m fixing up myself right now, and it’s going well! So cool to see you working on a jeep to give to my generation, hope whoever got it had so much fun with it! Love yjs!

[@JeepTJWheelin]

My old college roommate had one of these back in '91, the doors and windows were in the dorm, but out of the way. Funny you said someone can take this cross country, well he did that in his '89 YJ, drove it from Colorado to California to Vermont and Massachusetts. While most will find it to be not the ideal vehicle for it, however, if you're a Jeeper, it can be a lot of fun!

[@scottbutts6703]

I had a white 91 YJ that I bought in high school. The thing was clapped out but I loved it. So nostalgic seeing you work on this

[@Wrenchingandadventuring]

Seeing the old 4wheel magazine banner in all your videos sure makes me miss that magazine. Before motortrend ruined everything

[@alexfred8789]

Some young kid come on! Wish I was 15 again watching this!

[@Gmail.com1306]

I'm 55 years old and I would probably buy that thing around I've never owned a Jeep before.

[@jimdavis4356]

Man, I wish I was that kid picking this up for my first car! It always seemed jeeps were out if reach when I was younger and never got the chance for a cool one like this. This is cool

[@anthonyschnack9967]

That would be an awesome first Jeep for a kid! It’s awesome to se someone who wants to inspire the next generation!

[@johnss11n]

So can we expect to see you and Dave working together again soon? 🤞

[@warenmongers5405]

There was a non compete clause of like a year when they left motor-trend so will be awhile.

[@NeonFreakC]

loved it, the relaxed style of bringing content is awesome

[@Hellguy76131]

I’ve done a few of these. If you put a regular bolt in the track you can use a flat blade screwdriver as a wedge to tighten or remove the nut.

[@Mr-_-Leo]

I’m trying to convince my wife that I need a white YJ. Love these videos. Thanks!!

[@steveswondrousadventures269]

just do it

[@johnbehneman1546]

GREAT VIDEO FRED!!!! A TOTALLY AWSOME UPGRADE!!!! I LOVE EVERYTHING!!!!

[@dustinrutkowski3127]

I'm a kid and would love this jeep. Ok I'm really 37 but anyone would love this jeep as their first jeep.

[@051570orion]

My oldest daughter is almost 15 years old and has said she wants a jeep , I told her she might have to settle for my old square body GMC 4x4 , but I told her I will work on it , those aren't cheep around my area and the cheep ones are really rough .

[@Billy28376]

I have a 95 rio grande. I love my little 4cyl Jeep.

[@justincary8041]

Miss the dirt every day seen all of them

[@OGSook]

I see it has the famous YJ seat belt! Between that and belt loops the door striker got me many times

[@_JEBUS]

Years ago I put corbeau moab seats in my 92 yj. Used original brackets and yes sits high. Corbeau sells brackets but I didnt want to spend any more money. I had a 13 inch grant steering wheel lying around in the garage. Gave me about 2 inches of vertical leg room. Just an idea for anyone looking to swap seats using the original brackets.

[@brenton1865]

I started out in a R-title YJ, I fixed it up at my dads shop an painted it at my vocational schools paint booth, I’m 33 an still have my first yuppie jeep👍🏼

[@dogpotter]

I have a YJ and Ive had to change the risers because they were broken, Mine actually has the fold and tumble brackets on both sides. Thanks for sharing I think this would be a great little starter project for some body. Mine was pretty rough and I have slowly worked out most of the kinks. Thanks for sharing

[@RideRevival_Outdoor]

Hope to see this, and you, at Oregon Trophy Challenge 2023. #SquareHeadlightsMatter

[@ECVelo]

I'm 6'5" looks perfect!

[@matthewmuellner]

Love this & rarely miss an episode

[@louisnapolitano272]

Chevy Cavalier two-door seats bolt right up. That's what I replaced mine with.

[@videostar07]

I can relate to this as I currently have 2 extra pairs of front seats and a fold and tumble rear for my 78 CJ. In addition to extra seats for a 4th gen Camaro, that's a lot of extra seats sitting around. When I first got my CJ5 it was an unfinished project, and one of the many problems it had was the seat to steering wheel thing. This video reminded of that, had to laugh at you getting in under the steering wheel. Combination of cool small steering wheel (power steering equipped) and angling the column up some made it work.

[@eggdashure]

I bought a white YJ around the same time you were doing the Working from Home series. I fixed it up for my daughter to drive as she was getting her license. In the end, we decided to get her something with air bags for safety. But, I've really regretted selling that Jeep. I love my built JK, but there was something about tooling around in that YJ that I really miss. Although, I bought for $2500 and sold it for $6750...made a nice little profit. 👍

[@HickSquatch]

Very cool!! I had a 91 YJ and the driver seat made that one look like a Cadillac seat! I found a pair of used PT Cruiser seats and used them. I got a driver side folding bracket for a CJ7 from Sgt Jeep (I’ve gotten a lot of parts from them because of the Junkyard YJ episode! Great folks to work with!!). I had to drill a couple holes to make the sliders, seats and brackets all fit together. My seats were way too high too!! A little massaging with the angle grinder to open up the folding bracket’s stop notches so it sat lower and all was good!!

[@ecorey45]

That jeep is so clean

[@jesseheien4226]

TJ seats fit pretty well in my 88 YJ

[@kid6725]

That thing is rad!

[@allover4309]

Yessss. YJ seats are pretty thin and part of the reason everyone thinks a YJ rides so rough!

[@thestevezchronicles2342]

I’d love to buy this and fly out there from MI with my 15 yo son and make a video of driving it back the whole way with the top off. That would be so stupid it’s awesome.

[@projectblackjack]

pt cruiser seats worked well in mine

[@vavendano2000]

Love it Fred. ive always been partial to yj's..... but I could sure use those grey mastercraft seats if you ever part with them.

[@j.j.clingman4083]

Fred I absolutely love that jeep for sure!! My family has had a couple different Jeep’s over the years!! A CJ 7,CJ 8, and a CJ 5 even!!! My favorite one was the CJ 7!! But here In Iowa it really rusted out big time and one kept going threw turbo 350 trannys!! We had probably 6 different trannys in it and everyone would go out Wright after the warranty was up!! And of course we didn’t keep having the same tranny shop rebuilding them we had at least four of the top tranny shops in Iowa rebuild and go threw the system and still wouldn’t work!! I’m definitely not a turbo 350 tranny guy and it’s not just because of the issues with the Jeep’s tranny!! I just have better luck with the turbo 400 trannys plus those trannys came in bigger vehicles and beefier vehicles!! I’d definitely be interested in that jeep that you are working on there plus I absolutely love white jeeps and blue Jeep’s like Hoolleys blue jeep!! I just love blue and white for vehicles colors!!! What would you like to sell it for so I no if I can afford it or not?? Please let me know buddy!!! Awesome video and remember keep up all the hard work buddy!!!!

[@jessemu6100]

That would be amazing to own one of those but it's out of my price range now dealing with chemo treatment

[@Zone069]

My daughter loves this Jeep....she kinda wants it 🤔

[@haikufriday562]

I’m not a kid, but I dig this Jeep. I’ll be keeping an eye for the “for sale” post lol

[@johnbehneman1546]

I LOVE WET OKOLE NEOPRENE SEAT COVERS.

[@markgordon6971]

Nice color of an older jeep

[@cccshrek]

You’re gonna fall in love and keep it. Name it Old Sock

[@rescuedandrestoredgarage]

This would be an incredible opportunity for a young lady or young man to keep wheelin alive for future generations. 🙏

[@wh4070]

My son would like the Jeep. Just depends on pricing.

[@skandia4x4]

I got a set of seats for that jeep !

[@iamblaineful]

My wife wants a Jeep, cause I have one and she is constantly trying to kick me out of the driver's seat. I'm in CA, maybe the most hated Wrangler of all time is her first Jeep.

[@edkilday1349]

Its not that those tan seats were made for a CJ. Stock YJ and later CJ seats are the same size and interchange, as do the tubs. Its that they are aftermarket and almost all the aftermarket seats made for these CJs and YJs are too tall/thick in the bottom sections. Many of us have run into this problem as well

[@jonstein420]

I found your channel. Do you know if anything is happening this weekend? I haven't heard from David in a couple days. I hope tomorrow something happens. I'm glad to have found your channel.

[@streetstock72]

Hope we get to see the new owner and hear what they are going to do to it.

[@JOHN-fx3xo]

YJ equals My J. I need it. Sold mine, because babies. They are no longer babies. The babies want a Jeep now.

[@bigjacobus]

I could use a nice project like that for my son. He has a few years but this would be perfect for him to turn wrenches on something of his. Local as well.

[@trailsandtailpipes]

Take my money!!! How much for the YJ?!!! 💰 would love to have a piece of Fred history.

[@tomsantella5538]

Seats from Chevy cavalier or sunbird a direct fit in older Jeep's

[@BrianDFugate]

Could you do the currie 9” front and rear on that yj im curious of the strength of that set up

[@rediron44]

Great little cheap Jeep

[@brianward3944]

How much

[@kylegilbertson2401]

I might be able to find space for this Jeep.

[@NO-background-music-in-videos.]

I have a 30 year old milk crate and its served as a seat, stand and holder of all things..

[@bruceklassen8261]

How much for this Jeep, love this episode…..

[@GULIVERSOFFROAD]

how are those milestars in the muck n mud

[@jrg397]

What size bolts go on the 2 studs? My 95 with identical seats don't have bolts. I just have the 2 thread on locking the seat.

[@donealable]

What's the best offer you've had? Would be fun here in Florida, but I don't need another vehicle either.

[@adamdavis6693]

How much would you want for it as it sits?

[@Celbwilliams]

Those flat seats would work in a Jeepster Commando

[@elijahnaranjo6948]

Hey Fred, are you coming to king of the hammers?

[@TJY2K]

Raffle it off!

[@brischling5]

How do I buy this! My 12 year old daughter has been searching for a white jeep that we can fix up for her first car!

[@grizzjohnson4183]

email him.. its in the description

[@davidking3311]

I is 16 yo kid wanting first Jeep please Mr. Fred

[@30bones]

I’d love a Jeep like this. Iowa Jeeps (and Toyotas) are all rotten

[@ElChipper]

Where does someone inquire about buying this Jeep?

[@grizzjohnson4183]

email him.. its in the description

[@josefredydiaz127]

🙋👍👍👍👍

[@samuelw3]

Wow Fred! That "Jeep" is looking a bit GREY! How OLD is that Jeep? Is it over '50'K miles? Have a happy day!

[@scottr9900]

Fred, you shaved!

[@scottr9900]

You should add a comment about needing metric and Torx stuff to work on the Jeep.

[@eightv1982]

the only cheese that exists for me is the blue kind.

[@derickmitchell9852]

Now that you mentioned your girlfriend's Jeep we can ask if you & Red will ever marry? I realize that we have no right to ask... As a fan, I know that we want both of you happy.

[@jackmehoff2961]

Stay dirty Fred !

[@RobertPCole]

Respectfully and Constructively. Fred you are one of my favorite personalities. I have officially ended my motor trend subscription. There is nothing left there to watch. But... I'm having a hard time with this channel. It has been very basic. If I'm going to live vicariously through someone, installing seats or a winch or putting together a new minibike isn't holding my interest. Fred for beginners is not my cup of tea.

[@4xFredWilliams]

dont leave yet Robert, I'm just finishing up some stuff that needs done, there will be more technical builds in the next few months. Expect a mixture of new and old, easy and difficult.

[@danieldeshone2428]

Have decided on price yet .

[@RobertPCole]

@@4xFredWilliams I'm not going anywhere Fred even hit the like button. Thanks for the response. Just giving an honest opinion, by no means meant to imply I don't appreciate what you are doing. As a long time hobbyist and viewer I just feel we together are past this. But your analytics might show otherwise. Best of luck on growing your channel.

[@RobertPCole]

@@StaceySchroederCanada I didn't imply that he isn't working hard. I have enjoyed Fred do amazing things for over a decade. I'm beyond installing seat. I'm ok if feel differently.

[@shanonb8921]

WHAT HAPPENED TP YOU'RE FACIAL HAIR?....LOL

[@chernissjd1]

I have two girls that are 15. Just bought first Jeeps as a Grand Cherokee, but if you are willing to take off tires and keep them maybe we could swing some good deals for the girls. we live in the midwest and can come and pick up. Ultimately your call.
