I had the opportunity to buy a 1988 Jeep Wrangler YJ.
It has some issues and there are some things I have to fix before it's mint. The main thing is that it runs and drives without much issues.
Second gear synchro grinds but double clutch works fine.
Now we have an off-roader for the channel so I hope we can have much fun with this new rig

Funny enough they want to see how I’ll transfer this thing

I owned a 88 jeep for about 10 years, now,, I have a 04 TJ. I'll follow your channel to see what you do with this jeep! I'd give you $3000 for it now!

Good start, give that old YJ some love. I watch a lot of these jeep builders. Maybe put together a quick video on your plans for the jeep, and then break it down into videos showing your progress.

Thanks for the idea

Watched your channel before I picked up my 1987 jeep yj. You video made me get it and I enjoy it

@secondhandspeed Жыл бұрын

Heck yeah! It’s the best! The drive is different and enjoyable to take it out anywhere. I’ll have another video out soon!

Love it! What a steal! Got an 89 I’m lovin on right now. Second gear was out on mine (BA10) when I got it. Go with a AX15 swap if you can find one.

@secondhandspeed Жыл бұрын

That’s what I plan on doing. Making this old BA10 last till I buy a AX15

I just bought the same jeep in PA. 5,000 😢 Running great and I can’t wait to start working on it. First thing. Blinkers and brake lights!!!

Not a terrible price. I need a brake refresh and overhaul

cosmetically it just needs some shine and a top, and its running!

Nice Jeep, only problem with a 1988 is that crappy BA10 Peugeot transmission!

@secondhandspeed Жыл бұрын

Yeah I just learned that 2nd gear doesn’t like cold but once the tranny warms up I can double clutch easy

Nice! We have headlight for it. Would you want to test it on your xj?

Imma take over my father in laws 1988 Wrangler for $2K. Said only problem it has gas leak. It's been covered for God knows how long. Making a Lil side project.

@secondhandspeed Жыл бұрын

Go for it! It’s been an awesome ride and I’m enjoying every mile in it. Change the oil a couple times within 500 miles and it’ll clean right up.

Did you figure out the exhaust smell. I have the same problem with my 90YJ

@secondhandspeed 11 ай бұрын

In my case the Jeep was parked for a couple of years so driving it cleared it up. If yours started to appear even though it’s been driven often then it’s the exhaust manifold leak or the exhaust pipes are cracked somewhere

wtf you got that for 2k? The body looks pristine for an 88. The ones around here don't last long with salted winter roads. I've seen some barely 10 years old rusted at the hinges and along the bad spots. Looks a bit rough under the hood.. So much room under there though with that inline lol. I am shocked at the price because of the used market being such a shit show with over priced junk.. New cars seem way over prices too and have way too much bs gadgets and electronics etc. I like these bare bone jeeps. I got an 07 for like 18k that was garage stored and never driven in the winter. The frame and body is mint condition with only 100k on the engine. Im starting to notice little things starting to go though like calipers, alternators, batteries, crap like that. I had to change the tires because the guy had on some crazy off road mickey thompson baja tires that made no sense for city driving. And the guy hated the jeep because of how it rode but kept it because his wife loved it haha. So I swapped the rubber and got an alignment and she rode pretty sweet after that.
