Jeep YJ Walkaround

[@ELI-ve5vq]

ive never seen such a crazy rig the kept the four cylinder

[@MR-qw6zx]

Squirrel power 😂

[@Pepster_p]

that anti wrap system is genius

[@bcutt8629]

Very clean looking

[@markgueren9633]

Nice YJ brother!!! I have a 95 and I'm also part of YJ fanatics though I'm hardly on FB anymore....I like how clean you've kept her!!!

[@ericmclaughlin564]

Yea, I rarely use 4th or 5th gear either because I only drive in town and the back roads I live by. With 35×12.5×15inch tires and a 4 banger 55 or lower is the way to go on my 1995 YJ. I love this jeep cheep on gas , and fun on the weekends for play time lol.

[@theyjcpa]

Eric Mclaughlin agreed I’m 4th gear at50-55 is a sweet spot.

[@dragbikebam]

Hey Eric hows it goin? i see you are a 4 banger fan and i have just made a real breakthrough in getting a lot more power out of the 2.5 in my 95 wrangler. what ive found out is the ecu is mainly restricting a lot of the power and there is a way around it. very simple and cheap upgrade that unleashed power especially in the above 3500. i also noticed crisper throttle response down low so that was a plus too.

[@TheHurriedRabbit]

this is fucking awesome build! im building a yj rn its been about 4 months in the making i cant wait anymore to drive it!

[@logisticsthenovice]

Awesome YJ Brother.. planning on picking one up this year.. making the leap from the XJ.😀

[@theyjcpa]

Logistics nice nice!

[@rubenreveles1747]

those anti-wraps are sic - your fab man is fab designer

[@MR-qw6zx]

Yes he did some great work.

[@bedroomrockstudios408]

that's sick YJ I've got 95 luv the mods you did

[@-kaster--kaster-6090]

Nice Jeep just got a yj myself can’t wait to fix it up . Just got a lift for now .👌

[@theyjcpa]

-kaster- -kaster- plan it out and do it right the first time. As much as I wish I went tons I’m happy with how I built it. It’s perfect for trails and backroads wheeling.

[@Hay-tn6hz]

Really clean looking YJ. Nice build.

[@theyjcpa]

Thank you!

[@KratzClassicCustom]

That thing kicks ass! Very nice man one of the best looking jeeps I’ve seen!

[@theyjcpa]

phil kratz thank you. Check out my other videos. Lots of fun trips and upgrade since this video

[@kennethhudson8013]

That is a slick jeep!

[@MichaelMassimino]

Sweet YJ! I'm in South Jersey also, maybe we'll cross paths

[@CaptainGnarkill]

That’s a nice YJ my friend

[@theyjcpa]

Captain Gnarkill thank you sir!

[@isshinryu11]

the man himself!

[@MrJeep75]

Nice build

[@skkfor]

Badass build, man. Like the other comment, I also don't mind my 4-cylinder. I don't use 5th gear unless I'm going on a downhill/flat road with the wind against the tailgate... Otherwise, I decelerate on my 32's.No, I won't win any drag races or tractor pulls, but it does what I need. Reliable, easy to maintain and parts are everywhere. Take care, bud.

[@theyjcpa]

skkfor thanks much and enjoy your ride as well!

[@marcusmcentee380]

master piece, hats off

[@saintjames8018]

Bro, nice build. Love it. The stretch is awesome; and some of your custom work looks dope. I would have been cool had your done a video of your build. Also, would love to see a video of it on the trails. Thanks for the plugs; I will definitely be looking up some of those part guys. BTY, I bought a 1995 YJ about 1 year ago; and had to rebuild the 4 banger engine. Also, my paint job is similar to yours. Cheers and good work!

[@theyjcpa]

Saint James I have photos of my build on IG. I could put a album up on KZbin. Thanks for the idea and support

[@theyjcpa]

thanks, i am uploading a vid now "Epic Summer 2019." also follow me on IG TheYJCPA, for photos and more vids of my trips

[@danielkirk4308]

Congrats on an awesome job - that’s straight up badass bro!

[@gasratzcustoms]

Very nice! Dig the stance!!

[@theyjcpa]

Thank you. not to wide but not to slim haha

[@hillbillyhobopowders6239]

Love it but here in North Carolina the State Troopers would have a field day writing you tickets. Here if you don't have fenders you get a ticket plus if you have fenders but the tires stick out over 1/2 inch you get a ticket. They say it's dangerous to other drivers because your tires will sling debris all over other vehicles

[@theyjcpa]

Haha yeah that happens in NJ.

[@deangrigsby6448]

Looks great, have fun.

[@saintjames8018]

PS I love that you love the 4 cylinder engine. Everyone else talks crap about it. However, it is a reliable engine and get the job done. I run 31" tires and can achieve 70 miles per hr on the hwy; however, it has no passing speed and slows way down on hills unless I acquire some speed. Shit, it requires some driving skill. lol

[@theyjcpa]

Saint James yeah passing sucks but I stay in far right lane and cruise. It’s a nice setup. I was surprised how well it turned out bc I was worried it wouldn’t turn the wheels.

[@Hay-tn6hz]

Hahaha, sounds like you're talking a little crap about it too.

[@MR-qw6zx]

Some corrections: The Anti wrap came in kit but majority of the set up was custom built. Ask me about how to install the RCVshaft in a waggy 44 and I can prolly show you photos of areas you can grind down on the Knuckle. The Zip locker is only missing a air line and the air compressor is in the rear of the bed.

[@onsturn]

Matthew Rambaran I’m also in NJ with an 89 YJ. Just starting my build putting Dana 60 in rear Dana 44 up front. Stroked 350 with 700r4. Could you supply info where the anti-wrap kit came from?

[@theyjcpa]

Mitch sounds like stout plan! The antiwrap parts came from rough stuff I believe but the tubing is all local. That antiwrap was fabricated also by my friend. I left it with him for a week and he figured it all out for me lol.

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Nice build brother!

[@hexedhero6159]

That is super clean. I love it dude.

[@elcompajr664]

Nice video good job I have 1991 YJ mood

[@diegomolina7116]

I have a 1991 islander

[@CodyFazio]

Nice rig! Real clean

[@fotomotoxxiii]

planning on doing that waggy 44 soon, great setup man! good job

[@theyjcpa]

Mr.G Disabled2Able don’t do it lol unless you plan to stay 6 lug. It’s a hella work to convert to 5 5.5 lol

[@francescosuarez]

Hello I’m in NJ too. Nice Jeep love all those must have upgrades. Your door close strap gave me an idea as mine passages on side broke lol but I was wondering did you send it to someone to get them re gear I’m thinking going for 4.88 after mine Ford 8.8 swap what do you think I’m currently on 33s and want to upgrade to 35s also doing a 1inch body lift from Rough as currently I sit in 2inch shackle lift

[@MR-qw6zx]

Nope I built the axles. I actually sold the Jeep last year. 4.88s are good. I’d prolly step up to 5:13s but you may have to change out the housing. Might be a good time to drop in a mechanical locker. There are a few gear calculators to help you. I think 5:13s are like a no looking back option. I would scan the Jeep forums for something similar to your rig specifically motor and trans and ask get reviews on their gearing setups. It’s a fun hobby but gets pricey. If you are patient and willing to learn, gearing axles are not difficult especially when not on the rig.

[@longhorn8459]

Nice rig! I think a winch and a v8 should be your next upgrades!

[@theyjcpa]

David Whitby haha absolutely already in the works. I have a 4bt with stupid ambitions but that will be for another project. I’ll be sharing an update video on some new work I completed in prep for the motor. No winch yet but I finally have recovery hooks in the front😂

[@vallasjo8003]

NICE

[@crab247]

Awesome Jeep

[@a6t8vw1]

I bought a 92 recently, has a D44 like yours with 3" tube housing with 5 lug wheels. Are these ford hubs ? im trying to figure out what i have so i can order some parts to rebuild it. rotors etc. Also, are the front and rear springs stock height? thanks

[@williamthompson969]

She clean man she clean

[@Narrowmindedoffrod]

Usually you send the 8.8 shafts out and have them drilled out to the chev pattern.easy and cheap

[@georgiajeepsandguns8277]

Man I’d do a Cummins 4bt swap those lil jeep 4 bangers suck. If not do a LS swap there’s plenty of kits that makes it relatively easy. Definitely get a winch and a few light bars as well. Besides that great build.

[@TheMeanderingNomad]

Where did you get all of your dash components from? I have grey interior as well and want to change everything to the tan color...

[@turbogrin]

Nice and Clean !

[@jakebrake4259]

I have the same axle set in my barn waiting for me to pull the trigger. Do you have a parts list on swapping that 44 to a 5.55 lug?

[@AlexTM44]

It looks really cool dude

[@isshinryu11]

Hey fellow YJ'er! This Jeep really looks tough. Nice to have a Dad to help you out. Mine is pure stock. What would you suggest for the cheapest axil upgrade you'd do in retrospect? I love the color of yours! This 4 or 6 cyl?

[@theyjcpa]

isshinryu11 thanks for your comment. This is a 4 cyl. I would say do a ford 88 out of a 2000 -2004 explorer. Look for 4:10 gears. I put a lot of money in this and hindsight, tons would have been a one time build with the same amount of dough. If your on a budget the ford 88 with 4:10 gearing would be the cheapest and easiest swap especially if you have a 4cyl because the front Dana 30 should have 4:10s. If you keep your front Dana 30 I would stay under 35s because there pretty weak axles. But hell do as you please bc there probably super cheap to replace if they break. Hope this helps.

[@georgiajeepsandguns8277]

I’d say do a 8.8 swap in the rear the one out of the explorer comes with a stock limited slip. Then for the front I’d keep the stock 30 they don’t have the best reputation but the yj 30 is a high pinion so it’s the better of the 30s. Since the stock 30 is a disconnect you can just slap in a lunch box locker you won’t have any poping unless ur in 4wd so you won’t wear out parts while driving on the streets. I might make a video about my dads yj and talk about all that stuff but u definitely don’t have to break the bank to have a really capable jeep.

[@survivingminnesota8381]

Hey, I'm looking at doing a similar yj. How does it handle on streets? Any wheel hop in the rear?

[@michaelmichels5168]

Hey did your drive shaft geometry change any angle change? With the stretch kit

[@theyjcpa]

I did a custom driveshaft in the rear as a result of the stretch and sye. I did soa and the stretch at same time. Def changes drive angle.

KICK ASS! do you belong to any groups, I want to do things to my YJ but idk where to start for what I’m using it for

[@theyjcpa]

Jonathan Bernal I have a Facebook group I recently started NJTrailRiders. I would suggest joining YJFanatics on Facebook but they require you to own a YJ. You can post your questions and folks are super responsive and helpful. I also have a Instagram with most of the pics from my build your welcome to follow @theyjcpa you can ask me any questions on there as you build!

Your missing the middle bolts on your rear boomerang shackles.

[@donaldbrown6044]

How much does it weigh? I am looking to do something similar but with out the stretch.

[@theyjcpa]

Donald Brown oh geez couldn’t tell ya. When I get it weighed I’ll be sure to share the details.

[@michael_dugan]

I also wheel my Jeep in Wharton State forest. What's your favorite trails in Wharton?

[@theyjcpa]

Michael Dugan I have only been through Wharton a few times. I can not remember the trail names but I may post a video of that adventure. If your on Facebook, check out my group #NJTrailRiders we can team up and tackle a trail or 2

[@theyjcpa]

Michael Dugan Check our Spring Hill in Wharton. Best views!!!

[@jimbo8v92]

How much wb did u gain with that rear setup? Was looking into doing stock front waggy spring on front and rear, but i like the longer xj springs i bet they ride alot smoother. I Have a 92 4cyl aswell

[@theyjcpa]

Jim p the rear xj springs I get almost even 6 stretch. If anything it’s a bouncier ride in the rear. I’m going to to a front shackle reversal and stretch out front but holding off till I decide on motor replacement

[@davidjessee7701]

I like it

[@americanthundergod9749]

I’d love to know what that license plate deal on your tail gate is.

[@FunWithAJ]

Plan to purchase a yj in the next 6 months. Curious how much you would estimate you put into this entire build so far?

[@theyjcpa]

FunWithAJ it’s really gonna depend on how much you but a yj for. I paid $900. You could probably do this build for under 10k.

[@pitin8201]

Jeep looks good like the build. Did you lose the back seat to the fuel cell?

[@theyjcpa]

pitin8201 yes with the fuel cell I lost backseats. I could retrofit them back in but very little to no leg room.

I have but probably going a different direction.

[@xjawzman]

What is it I need

[@dragbikebam]

@@xjawzman get you a power commander from ebay for a 05 gsxr 750. install it inside the cabin running wires through firewall. number one inj wire is the closest to the box and so on. use your existing tps but hook the gray wire from the pc3 up to the middle wire on the connection at the tps. set the bar graph in the middle and go from there unless you have a dyno. i did mine by just feel and very happy with it. runs damn strong!

[@dragbikebam]

@@xjawzman do injectors if you hadnt yet and remove the restictor from the air tube coming out of the airbox top. i have heade also. One thing ive noticed about these 2.5s is that if you have a brake caliper that is sticking just a little it will really suck the power out of it so jack the frt end up and ck those on a reg basis

@@theyjcpa my jeep is a 95 and it works great. send me a friend request on f/b, ive been communicating with everyone that way. there is a 2001 getting the install now and ive been helping him thru it. very simple and turned my 2.5 into a beast compared to how it was

[@BossNachoFPV]

What size motor you got in there ? I have the 4 banger and debating on going 37" cuz i still drive it around. thinking 35" might be more practical .

[@theyjcpa]

Boss Nacho FPV a 4cyl, The 5:13s help. If dailying,I would save the money and do 35s. I drive mine about 200 miles every weekend to the shore on the 37s and I can get up to 70-75 on the flat roads. The 4cyl is a great motor but lacks power.

[@saintjames8018]

I would say no way to the 37" with the 4 banger. You will never be able to maintain Hwy speed especially up hills.

[@theyjcpa]

Saint James I stopped listening to all the Jeep gurus and said screw it. The 5.13s and squirrel powered beast can easily maintain 65 on flat roads. Up hill no question sucks but it’s not that bad. I have a 6bt I want to put in it now but I may trade for a 4bt instead. 5.13 and 37s is a great setup. 35s would be sweeter but 37s are so much cooler!

[@ericmclaughlin564]

35's work great with a 4 banger thats what I got.

[@ericmclaughlin564]

But I also don't use it for driving on the highway or anything like that I never go over 55 with it I mostly use mine for playing in the woods and what not.

[@makiscrx]

what wheelbase you have?

[@theyjcpa]

i wanna say about 60wms
