My Jeep TJ Looks New Again! Update After Restoration!

[@rocketsucker1337]

Don’t be afraid to pat yourself on the back.... it looks awesome! Good work

[@MrPati0077]

Thank you!

[@douglasroberts2250]

A Jeep is all about function. It's good to have a little vanity if it supports the vehicle's health. For $5 k , that's exceptional. As you posted this 4 years ago, I hope you still have it.

[@infernicus1]

The piece in the truck is an "Instatrunk". It is a lockable space for the Jeep. If you want to keep anything of value in it it's great. Of course is not indestructible, but it will deter your passerby thief.

[@sxurry]

just bought a 98 tj myself today for 1500, got the same intentions you did when you first bought yours. she's rough, but she'll finish up great! really appreciate the video

[@MrPati0077]

Congratulations, that's awesome!

[@reignmack]

respect to davis autos for not slapping angry bird grilles on everything in sight

[@jondecarbonel8158]

I love those slide windows. Really good looking jeep.

[@allanwagner4570]

Dude STOP CALLING IT A CAR!!!! Nice JEEP

[@CharlesWillisBonsai]

I dig that low wide stance. Those half doors with the sliding windows are awesome. That’s the first time I’ve seen those sliding windows.

[@Stubular]

wow, came here from your first video and it looks really great man.

[@surfpipeline]

how the f do you have 17 dislikes? this is an incredible transformation + jeep. just bought a 04 tj with 175k miles welded undercarriage. fingers crossed.

[@FOURWHEELTRENDS]

you mentioned the cleaning aspect. Now that it is painted, use a ceramic coating. I use them and they make it so much easier to keep clean. I'm about to install it on my 87 Jeep too.

[@sandramccoy491]

What a beautiful jeep . U have done your self proud . Thank u for shareing

[@JoeR203]

Picked up an '06 Unlimited for $10,000 in Jan. 2019. Almost done with my build but the weather has sucked so I haven't had a chance to make a Part 2 video yet. Your Jeep looks very nice.

[@MrPati0077]

Congrats on the purchase! The unlimited's are super cool and look great with a lift and nice mods.

[@MidnightPolaris800]

that frame has to be on the brink of swiss cheese if a salvage yard sold you a TJ for 2k and you actually drove it away. Either that or your good friends with them

[@rockoilcolonel]

Hell of great paint job you did. The subwoofer idea was great! I bought a Sahara for 3 months but my upgrade is nowhere near what you did. I'm going for bed liner paint next summer.

[@andrewlubbers3489]

I never seen sliding windows. That's awesome!!!

[@jeffkernen1554]

That metal tray was called an Add a Trunk. They were later made out of plastic. But they created a little lockable trunk in the back for your belongings. I had one on my Jeep many years ago.

[@papatriot9882]

Nice job man. Looks great.

[@BipolarBear777]

Nice choice in wheels cause I have a 2000 TJ and a ‘06 325i too. 😎👍🏻

[@1blkpear]

I am obsessed with those glass half doors man Freaking cool

[@q8ieng]

I loved the sliding glass!

[@MrPati0077]

I love them too! Also regarding your question about the fan clutch. I'm not crazy about switching to electric fans. I'm sure there are a lot of upsides, but I think it could be a hassle wiring it up and keeping it reliable. I could be wrong but anytime I've come across a car for sale that had the electric fan swapped in it seemed to turn me off. Not looking to change your mind but thought I'd share my thoughts! Anyway good luck with your project:)

[@carloshonduras9603]

Nice Jeep transformation very good job

[@MrPati0077]

Thank you! Was a lot of work, well worth it!

[@FOURWHEELTRENDS]

Nice work on the Jeep. Paint looks good on it. I had a '93 Sahara YJ. Now I have an 87 SJ. I think my next Jeep might be a TJ. PS- Big fan of the Golden. Best breed IMO. Welcome to the Jeep obsession lol

[@SweatPvP]

wow man. Looks fucking phenomenal. Really inspired me, im looking for jeeps around 8-10k. but this showed me i could get a cheaper one and put some TLC in it more than i realized in a short amount of time and save alot of money!

[@JamalPhoenix]

Wow looks amazing!

[@canuck9199]

[@Adrian-uw2ik]

Awesome work!

[@Scote001Jeep]

[@tylerkk6473]

Nightshade

[@philipschutter1626]

Looks great

[@steviecarbone4052]

Great job, nice lookin Jeep!!

[@johnnydennis1150]

[@bbbeasily]

What size tires and rims did you get? Are you also running a wheel spacer?

[@MrPati0077]

The rims are 17" meant for a JK with 32" tires and running a 1" spacer adapters!

[@mikehammer4546]

Very nice job on the paint 😎😎

[@onemat2000]

Looks great!

[@nickconrad94]

What fender flares? I just got a 2002 sport and it needs flares, bad!

[@MrPati0077]

Nick Conrad they are off eBay. They were about $170 for the set!

[@nickconrad94]

Madpatt awesome, thank you! Your Jeep looks great man!!

[@mudgett49]

What is your tire and wheel set up man looks good and no lift

[@MrPati0077]

Thank you and thanks for the Sub! The wheels are 17x8" "D" spoke for a JK with 1" 5x4.5 to 5x5 wheel adapters, with 265/75/17 bfgoodrich tires! Later added a 2" lift lol sometime in January or February will like to make a 1 year update video since my purchase!

[@mudgett49]

Madpatt do you know what backspacing the wheels are

[@MrPati0077]

The backspacing is 4.25

[@farix1]

Very Nice Good job

[@Owl566]

Mint looking TJ, you’ve done a great job there. What size and offset are your rims and what size are your tyres?

[@TennesseeHoney12]

What size tires on stock suspension?

[@jonanjello]

Nice-looking Wrangler. 4:22 Is there a seller on eBay offering that price? I paid a hundred bucks for some Truck-Lite knock-offs. THanks!

[@MochiMotoPa]

where did you find the hard top?

[@T4bbs]

I just bought a TJ myself, what fenders do you have on it?

[@MrPati0077]

Congrats on your purchase! I have the stock fenders but have the eag flat style flares. I love the look of the stock fenders, personally dont like the look of the tube fenders tbh

[@AsmrBoozeNTattoos]

Can you post the exact mods and names of everything you did to it? Thanks!

[@kurtlarsen2909]

Nice. What fender flares are those?

[@cola2614]

im 16 getting my license very soon, ive been looking for TJs, ive seen one for 8k 1999 110k miles. its been babied and never crashed come with hard and soft top. how much longer do you think itll last?

[@MrPati0077]

lil rocket They are known to last forever. The 4.0 is known to be the best engine. I think it's okay to pay a little more for a car that has proper service history. I was looking for a cheap one knowing that I will have to service just about everything, but now I have it the way I want. Rust is a big deal on TJ's check out the frame, especially by the rear wheel section. Some people go as far as replacing the entire frame, costly but they do and worth it. I just fixed my frame last week. You can find some real nice wranglers out there!

[@yotakev99]

I owned a 97 with 203,000 miles, a 2000 with 138,000 miles, and now a 93 with 108,000 miles. The 4.0 lasts forever if you keep it maintained

[@jean-lucdorais7198]

Nice job

[@AngelLopez-eu9el]

Good job it looks nice 👏👏

[@poisonhemlock9215]

What size are the wheels and tires

[@roderickmchardy3650]

nice van ..

[@stefankoen]

What size wheels are those

[@markp6732]

BTW those are rocker covers for rocks.NICE seats

[@joeyh7796]

That sub is fucking brilliant

[@FlySR220]

Loving the jeep BTW. You've found yourself a new subscriber from UK :) . I'm looking at doing a similar thing to my Jap import 04 sahara im yet to collect. Just wondering what are the exact sizes of your wheels and tyres? Also im liking the new headlamps, how do I pick these headlamps out from the rest on Ebay?

[@SpookyMontero]

$2000 that’s a steal

[@SynsterFear]

impressive

[@doorran]

yeah looks nice.

[@markcaruana2697]

Where did u get it painted? How bad was it when u got it for 2k? I'm also near Chicago in Indiana looking 4 a Jeep.

[@MrPati0077]

Hi, I did all the body and paint work myself and everything else also. It was pretty rough looking, I have a video of how it looked when I first bought it on my channel. I believe I saved quite a bit of money doing it all myself, just took some free time!

[@velixzeen]

Frame condition?

[@tide2221]

Awesome! Where did you buy the paint? The blue pearl color

[@MrPati0077]

André Leal I bought it from a local paint supplier I use for miscellaneous projects. It's made by valspar it's great value and quality. Cost about $250 for half a gallon!

[@tide2221]

Madpatt it looks really good. Bet it gave u lot of work huh. I bought a Jeep just like yours was and I’m going to start my transformation too. What products did u use to remove the rust?

[@MrPati0077]

André Leal It was more work than I was expecting to say the least. After the video, I fixed the rear frame where it was rusted by buying a replacement section on ebay and all new stainless steel brake lines. Now it's as good as new! The driver rocker panel had the most rust on the body due to it having an accident, someone bondoed over it. In that area I welded in new sheet metal and over the welds used the bondo brand fiber glass over the welds to keep it from rusting instead of bondo. I buy it at menards for about $13 in a quart and comes with a hardener, it's green with hair and is just like applying bondo. In the metal seems I used 3m windshield urethane to keep water out. I also blasted the undercarriage and bought black rustoleum paint and applied it with a spray gun. It holds up a little better than por15. This was a tough project but totally worth it! I got to have it done my way!

[@tide2221]

Madpatt that’s awesome! Thank u so much for ur explanation.

[@joeyh7796]

Please do a video about that sub and how you installed it

[@flyhighq8182]

Nice

[@triple_threat_lightz]

What's the brand of the half door slide windows?

[@samratsahota1]

what size are those tires?

[@6.7jakee]

Where’d you get the fender flares from?

[@MrPati0077]

RaptorRider eBay! They were roughly $170 or you can get the rough country brand for a bit more which look a little different.

[@nenadnedovic9246]

What size tyres and rims are they

[@MrPati0077]

They are 32" but don't rub because they have wheel spacers.

[@jbass9497]

what size spacer an size of rim?

[@rachealrock3638]

What size tires?

[@MrPati0077]
