Re: .......The simple YJ
 

I'm digging that chassis, especially the upper link mounts. What did your wheelbase end up at?

After I complete my yota build a YJ is next.

Re: .......The simple YJ
 

I want to say it's around 10.5 to 11 inches...but I'll go back and measure it for you.

Took the time real quick to start the fender trimming....always worry I'll screw up cutting when I do this.

Re: .......The simple YJ
 

I subscribed to this thread, because I'm really liking your build so far!!
My next project will be along the same idea, only I will be making my own YJ body(to match my wife's 1:1 scale YJ) from aluminum, like the ZJ body I'm building now.

Re: .......The simple YJ
 

This is the exact color scheme I'm going for. My favorite for a yj

Re: .......The simple YJ
 

That's the same color as my 93 YJ!

Re: .......The simple YJ
 

I don't know why I like that color. It just looks good on them. I've never owned a yj...I have always had tj's

Gonna call it a night for the jeep...updates

Metal work looks great! The rear fenders are money

Re: .......The simple YJ
 

Thanks you sir. I did the same thing for my old tj build. I like the look.

Re: .......The simple YJ
 

Fantastic build, and fast too! Looks great! What type of metal sheet are you using and where did you get it!?

Re: .......The simple YJ
 

I want to say it's 18 gauge...I'll have to check and I got it from ace hardware.

Re: .......The simple YJ
 

Cool, thanks! Steel or aluminum?
