Full 2002 Jeep Tj Restoration

[@garbinator09]

Love your Greenery all around you. I live in California, within the Great Mojave Desert. Here we don’t see much rust even on antique vehicles very much. Which is why I choose my 2005 TJ Rubicon I bought a year ago. Good bones as they say! Its been a work in progress. Over $20,000 thus far. I have to hire out any work that needs to be done. Because of Covid, and the fact people still have not come back to work, its been a bear getting parts, and labor. You all are so fortunate! Thanks!

[@YaknTackle]

So much fun to watch the TJs come back to life....cheers!!! I did the same to my 04 TJ Rubicon...shes sweet now!!!

[@VioletFlameAngels]

Glad you could show us the finished project! It looks great! Give your Dad and Grandad a bid hug of appreciation for a job well done! Love you!😘

Great job !!! Keeping it close to original. I have a 2001 tj sport with 170.000 klm , one owner in brand new condition. Keeping it original except for tires and rims. Excellent video 👍

[@hope_hh_hobbies]

Thank you! Original color was yellow and I went back and forth on what color. Sometimes wish I chose yellow but I would have second guessed myself either way!

[@downtowndrewbrown7129]

That turned out great! I have a 2006 in good shape but replacing things here and there. Just got a hardtop to fix and paint though!

[@hope_hh_hobbies]

Awesome! I had a hard time finding a hardtop for a decent price good condition. It was not too bad to fix up though! Thank you for the support!

[@PhatboyHD88]

Boy that tub is in really good shape , for me personally i would have found a nice frame and pulled the tub and driveline and put together a super nice jeep. Because those frame “Fixers” are ya have to remember welded to a rusted frame , and will eventually fail and fall to rust.. but thats just my 2 cents ..

It looks great!! I hope she enjoys it

[@hope_hh_hobbies]

Thanks! It’s been fun driving it

[@nathanmciver6496]

Awesome vehicals! You have to keep them going! Even if its restored for yourself its like making sure a fleet of fun vehicals will always be in existance!!!!! Awesome paint job, looks good on them! :)

[@hope_hh_hobbies]

Thank you, I agree! Appreciate the support :)

AWESOME job!!!!!

[@ForceBuilt]

Great job! I did a complete restore of my 97 Jeep TJ also. Lots of work but turned out great as yours did also!

[@hope_hh_hobbies]

Thankyou! I’ve actually have been watching some of your videos since before I got my Tj! Just subscribed thought I already was though! I really liked the color you chose on yours.

Impressive

[@pawelkolo9678]

great job!, what kind of seats did you put in????? been looking for nice replacement of my cloth ones for a while...

[@hope_hh_hobbies]

Thank you! I just kept the original seats that were in it when I bought it, but eventually I will upholster them! I think my seats have a leather cover on that fits perfectly to the seat, but not sure.

[@pawelkolo9678]

@@hope_hh_hobbies got ya,think they are some kind of aftermarket,but they look nice though!BTW that light switch gotta be replaced,but check the relay before you do that,anyways cheap fix,about $50,otherwise it will turn on your lights itself when you gone and drain your battery

[@hope_hh_hobbies]

@@pawelkolo9678 okay! Thanks did not know that! Will check into it.

[@harshadpatil9820]

I had been seeing restoration videos chasis is very badly rusted and its very difficult to restore the vehicles

[@queensapphire7717]

20-25 cans of paint for that hard top ?

[@hope_hh_hobbies]

I think about 10 but honestly cannot remember.

[@queensapphire7717]

@@hope_hh_hobbies how is it holding up ? I actually just primed & painted the upper bumper trim on my 2010, for what I spent on quality primer & paint, I probably could have just bought a new replacement part. I was being picky as the bumper and other parts were shiny and in perfect condition, but this part chipped and looked like it was previously painted (bad job). I did 3 light coats of primer and 3 coats of bumper paint, and looks great, let’s see how it holds up ;). 2010 Jeep Jk Rubicon 58K miles, also have a 2016 JKU 75th Anniversary Edition 55k miles, in conflict with popular opinion, I like the 3.8 (2010) much better then the 3.6 Pentastar (2016), for which the rear main seal and oil cooler housing have failed already. The 4.0L was the best motor ever, wish it was never discontinued, I had a 1991 too.

[@hope_hh_hobbies]

@@queensapphire7717 mine has held up great! You can’t even tell it was spray paint with bumper trim paint. Still looks as clean and new since I painted it which has been a little more than 2 years. I hope yours holds up great!

[@MCGaar]

Sweet!

[@hope_hh_hobbies]

Thank you! It’s nice seeing people comment that have been following my journey since day one! Appreciate all the support ✌️

[@tho464]

Frame was gone!

[@barryh5463]

Pretty rusty initially, curious as to location?

[@hope_hh_hobbies]

It came from up north. Indianna I believe. Now it’s in Tn. Bought it as a project, and now daily driver!

[@JR_LIGHTS]

Nice! What paint did you use for the hard top?

[@hope_hh_hobbies]

Thanks! I used Rustoleum trim and bumper spray paint

[@JR_LIGHTS]

@@hope_hh_hobbies I actually just picked up a few cans to do the same to my hard top. Thanks for getting back to me!

@@JR_LIGHTS glad to have helped! Thanks for watching !

[@heavychevy743]

Why it was yellow the best color!!!

[@hope_hh_hobbies]

I love yellow. Had trouble choosing the color kept going back forth but decided I liked black and white, still sometimes think about it. Maybe next time.

[@heavychevy743]

@@hope_hh_hobbies it looks great I’m just playing around.

[@markiskool]

How are all these old TJs so much more "yuck" than the one I just bought? Granted, I gotta replace every single bouncey snd steering thing, but otherwise, it's like brand new. Looking at these vids, I'm guessing i got a pretty good deal.

[@hope_hh_hobbies]

Good for you, glad you are happy with your tj just as I am with mine!

[@robertthrem3382]

It’s really sad to see someone paint something with a can of paint when you can buy a paint sprayer for $100 that would do 10 times better of a job I guess if you put the junk on thick enough you can polish it and wet block sand it
