I have a 95 yj. I’m not quit built though. I’m running a Ford 9” and d44. 38.5 tires with 4” lift. I’m hoping to put it back in my shop and work on it some more. I can’t get much more than 36” on a ramp without my back tire coming off the ground. You have a very nice jeep!!
Sweet Jeep! I have had my 93 Jeep YJ for 15 years and love how capable it is for us. (Snowboarding phase atm) I'm rolling with 35" stt pro's and just last year I put a 89 Jeep Comanche 4.0 engine in her. 60k miles. It's always a work in progress with upgrading everything and this build you have is a great inspiration to me.
Nice build. I have a 95 YJ little lift with 32 BFG mud T. Its funny you have 6.0 in your because I also own a GMC Yukon Denali has 6.0. always said wish my YJ had this motor.
Absolutely a lovely build guys!!! Not much else to say because it’s just so nice. I like his reasonings for driving his Jeep, for mountain biking etc.. I use my Jeep for a specific reason. I’m a long range marksman that shoots long range and extended long range several days a week and I love the study of ballistics. My rig has to be able to get me on the abandoned coal strip mines here in Wv. My rig has to be able to travel the side by side trails so my rig can’t be too big. My entire Jeep jk is built just for shooting long range. Probably a boring story but I wanted to share. Thank you for a great story!!!
Nice YJ, Burt! It's a little bigger than mine, though. I'm going 5.3, an AX15 Atlas, 60rear and 44 front on 35s. I'm already so far over budget and behind schedule, it resembles a government program. Coilovers are still on the wish list though.
Nice YJ!! My first vehicle was a 94' YJ 4cyl that I lifted with a trail master lift and put 33" tires on. I traded it when i needed a daily driver for college that could handle interstate speeds but its what lead me to buying the Gladiator I have now 25 years later. I had it fixed up well after breaking many parts including rebuilding the engine after hydrolocking it in a deep mud hole. I still see it occasionally but the lift is gone but the wheels and sliver stripe make it stick out from the others
Let me start by saying that this is an awesome and beautiful Jeep! BUT......other than the square headlights and the dash, there’s not a whole lot of YJ left in it! LoL! Just some friendly ribbing, don’t attack me! I love the Jeep and making them your own and specific to your needs is what they’re all about!! Plus, us square headlights gotta stick together!!
The only thing that’s stopping me from progressing with my YJ like you is, I would like to start with more body length, interior length (LJ). Beautiful build. Thanks
Exactly how I have been planning my build. The only thing I would change is the air intake. K&N filters suck dirt and yours is exposed to possible water intake. Thanks for sharing.
That jeep doesnt ever see water or mud. It mostlikely sees rocks and dry and thats aboutnti. 10 years and 40k miles with a kn must be doing ot wrong right
I'm running a 5.7 out of a 98 Tahoe, nv4500 first gen, .... still building mine Odd ball thing, full chevy harness, including using a cluster out of a Tahoe, was able to modify the dash to accept it
Just subscribed,I don't own a jeep😏but I do own a modified 88 Suzuki Samurai,weber carburetor, iron horseracing header and running open😁,cold air intake,Cam,black skyjackers 2 inch lift shocks,actual 2inch shackles and 2 inch wheel spacers for extra tire clearance😋
I'm doing the GM 5.3L L83 genV and gm 8 spd or 12spd but w/ Atlas T-case With dual fuel tanks for a 600-700 mile range. My goal is over landing, with the most range I can get.
wow very nice...love your suspension and V8. Thanks for showing! My YJ- 350 v8, 4 speed manual rock crusher with twin sticks, 37's on 8 lug 60/HD44, modified body etc....was my "fun" year project....now if I could just get your suspension! peace. Edit: oops forgot ...8" lift, high-steer, dual batteries, LED's all over the place lol, removable mud flaps (to keep the cops off my tail), custom bumper w/ 12K winch, front hitch/receiver (very handy for pulling dead cars up the trailer and moving my boat around)… custom rear swing-out spare tire rack that also holds (2) 5 gallon jerry cans and (4) propane bottles for the stove...I keep all my camping/fishing gear in it year-round so when I 'feel the need' I can just throw some food and water in and go....love it. But I hope I never get a flat by myself because I can't lift the spare 37" tire by myself onto (or off) the rack anymore, I'm 66! Geese!
I know this channel will grow. Adding some more detailed shots of the not only the suspension components but its up travel and down travel limits/numbers would be great at capturing its true off road capabilities. The distance between his air bump and bump pad confuses me, wish I could have seen more. Hopeful to see him featured in some wheeling videos.
Thank you for your feedback! Much appreciated! Every time I shoot video and we start editing I see 1000 things I want to add and do different next time. So yeah. It's gonna be a huge learning curve! We're definitely going to do more videos like this in the future with more driving/action footage and more detail shots. Thanks for watching!
My guess is its more of a down travel build with those coil overs. Plus with the over sized 40s, you need to limit uptravel.. guess he had 37s on it and it just didn't look big enough and considered.. fuck it lets go 40s and limit some uptravel. Which could do him some good on the trail also.
It's gonna be awhile before my jeep looks like this... I'm still in the beginning of building..still haven't found a jeep to build.. but after that it'll just come together
Yes! Just get in your shop, turn on the rock and roll and get to work! lol. To some of us, doing all the fabrication is all the fun. Drive it for awhile, and then start a new project. The key is to get as many tools as you can along the way and always finish your project...if you don't, you'll end up having a yard full of unfinished projects and you'll feel like a dumbass. My first street rod project took 6 years...and I worked on it almost every day after work and most every weekend...6 years! The next one took 4 years, the next 1 year...it gives me something to do besides drinking and getting in trouble plus I learn a lot...good luck with your project!
@@FlexRocksRollovers thank you, yeah I'm into SxS offroading, Toyota 4runner overlanding and camping but never had a Jeep. My main thing actually is to make it reliable and towable behind my RV. Have you ever heard of anyone adding AC to the inline 4 motor? Probably can't handle it, I'd imagine lol.
Dude!!! Awesome video! I’ve been following you on IG for quite some time now. Huge fan of the jeepster. I’ve got a RUclips channel myself that was based on my YJ originally. Not neaaarly as clean as the YJ in this video. Again awesome vid and looking forward to more vids! Subbed!
Wow amazing...my mom want 1 just like it.....old school guy....my kids have corns on feet longer this kid alive...how many times u put front drive shaft through the t-case???? Common with 40 and bigger tires when u hit pot hole...push front drive shaft back 2 incheas and out the back of t - case
Got to be one of the baddest yj builds out there, super nice. If a fellow wanted to build one very similar to this one, how much will he need to spend ?
Now that is a beast and the owner sounds like a sound dude . If you don't mind me asking what is the total cost to make a YJ like his ? ALL mods included ( engine , suspension , axles , metal work ... the lot )
Im at ~18k for suspension, axles, and steering alone. Probably another ~15k for motor swap. And thats having a professional shop do all the work. Add another ~5k for miscellaneous parts, and you got a rig just like this.... The first question I was asked when dropping my '95 YJ off at the shop was, "how committed are you to this build?". It was a hard pill to swallow spending ~30-40k on an already capable rig, but at the end of day the question still remains, "how committed are you?"
What is measurement from end of tire to end of tire? And how much back space do you have on your wheels? I’m trying to build a low COG Yj on 40’s. How is body roll/stability, Ever try the antirock sway bar? Beautiful Jeep man
That is a clean YJ man
Yeah for sure! jeeptech does great work!
Makes me feel like I went the right direction with my jeep build too 😂 v8 swap, coilovers, 1 tons and 40s. Best combo ever
.y? hier.
I have a 95 yj. I’m not quit built though. I’m running a Ford 9” and d44. 38.5 tires with 4” lift. I’m hoping to put it back in my shop and work on it some more. I can’t get much more than 36” on a ramp without my back tire coming off the ground. You have a very nice jeep!!
Sweet YJ. Owned mine since 01. Done a V8 swap in 02. Daily driver ever since. Starting to show some age now though. Still my main vehicle.
Very cool! Nothing beats a V8 YJ!

Very nice please to hear you have had it 20 years and still looks great, I have a 99 TJ I have had it 16 years have a super blessed day
Wow that sound! All jeeps should sound like that.

Love the LQ9 under the hood. Very very nice rig.
I love it this is the ultimate YJ. But he is still keeping it real with washers to shim the seat height. I love it. I dont feel bad now about my YJ
Nice YJ, Burt! It's a little bigger than mine, though. I'm going 5.3, an AX15 Atlas, 60rear and 44 front on 35s. I'm already so far over budget and behind schedule, it resembles a government program. Coilovers are still on the wish list though.
Brad Ellis save money do a 44 front and rear with a truss kit for both. On 35s shoul be plenty of strength unless you’re doing 37s later
44 with upgrades is fine for 37s if you know how to drive. 60's are way overkill.
Nice YJ!! My first vehicle was a 94' YJ 4cyl that I lifted with a trail master lift and put 33" tires on.

Burt's YJ is so STICKY dude. One of my favorite rigs for suuuuuure
Dawsonville GA.. I definitely know those landmarks, that’s insane how close I am to the jeep
You have set the bar high my friend.
Nothing better on those pistons then revving off the start up lol
Go big or go home Productions it was still warm from when he got there...

Its hip to be square.(95 square lighter)
Screw you man those square headlights are the first wrangler
That is an awesome YJ! Thank you for sharing the build details. Absolutely phenomenal.
Wraith Off Road TV Thanks for watching 🙏
Love it. Can't wait to fix up my YJ into something like that.
The return of the YJ's! I love it!
@@FlexRocksRollovers I've had my jeep wangler YJ since high school. What kind of mileage do you get in the YJ
Absolutely killer rig! Love the bike on the rack too.
We love Burts YJ! It's a beast!
Lot of strong upgrades, build em strong, they last long.
The only thing that’s stopping me from progressing with my YJ like you is, I would like to start with more body length, interior length (LJ). Beautiful build. Thanks
In 85 i got my first jeep...1 piece glass tub...big block hemi 2 stick t case.....and u dont look 40 yrs old to me
keeping my YJ forever now- RAD red Patagonia jacket. awesome review and video.
Wow!!! I love this jeep 😍😍😍😍 unbelievable!!!!
Really slick YJ, that motor looks factory.
Yeah it's ridiculous how clean it is!
Love it! Not too far away from Stone Mtn GA. Love to see this in person.
I'm sure he'll be at JeepFest in GA!
3:10 “This is so OEM” LOL!! “I don’t think that word means what you think it means”
I believe this jeep is still on jeepforum.com its nice to see the video of it
Love them Jeeps!! We are building a YJ LS swap!!
You had me at LQ9 👍
R Villafane such a great swap
Exactly how I have been planning my build. The only thing I would change is the air intake. K&N filters suck dirt and yours is exposed to possible water intake. Thanks for sharing.

Doesn't work like that unfortunately...took me 10 years to find a good virgin example to start on and im no where near the mods done to this
This was sarcasm for those who didn't get it
That is an awesome rig. Thanks for sharing this video.
So...... there’s nothing even vaguely YJ about this but the headlights. Got it.
Sick YJ. I love those Genright kits!
Sweet ride brother
3:56 we got a bunch of hose....roger that 😂.
Nice YJ !
I would say the 40s are way too much but you actually take it off-road so it works. Badass jeep
6.0 ls with the nv4500 nice. You wont have any problem moving those tires.
Dudes I am right here in Canton!
I'm about to pick up a YJ this week, probably won't go all out but I'd like to learn more about them for sure :)
Very coo! Congrats! We love YJ’s!

Damn thats one bad ass jeep
Looks great! 😎
Only in a Jeep! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
this jeep is just bad ass. wonder if it sees any trails or mud.
God I want a yj so bad
Great Build!
Nice video and yj 👍
I like that jeepster Cammado in the middle at 0:20 😎
Lucas The Gamer We’ll do a video about that one too at some point 🤘
Got to be one of the baddest yj builds out there, super nice. If a fellow wanted to build one very similar to this one, how much will he need to spend ?
Probably around 25K + a YJ in a good condition
Holy fuck that’s the sickest yj on the planet lol
Was this guy in a magazine feature in either fourwheeler or 4wor?
Yes, he was!
Very nice jeeps 👍
A simple rear view camera would have solved the "can't see out back window" dilemma.
Some people don’t like rear view cameras
Where is the update of Burt’s YJ getting lowered ?? Been waiting seems like forever? And are there any wheeling videos of his YJ ?
This is exactly what I want for my LJ😂
Aw-some rig!
People always say YJ’s are the ugly duckling of Jeeps. This Yj helps retract that
I’m going to make my Jeep similar to this Jeep one day. Beautiful Jeep
This is a beast, do you ever worie about death wabble with this set up?
Good stuff
Please elaborate more on the tire carrier. I have a YJ and want to do something like this for a 37” tire.
Reach out to the guys at www.GAJeepTech.com - they can build you one!
so friggin classy
Did this yj not have front leaf springs??
Kyle McKinney they had leaf springs all around. This one is highly modified ✌️
What up with that Ford Explorer Over in the corner of your lot
😍😍😍
Coolest guy.
Has it been on the rocks? Doesn't have a scratch on it. The sliders don't even have a mark on them. Weird.
It has been! Nothing super crazy hardcore but he does wheel it. He just takes very good care of it. Check him out on Instagram
Why you gotta make us look so bad with this badass build?
Now that is a beast and the owner sounds like a sound dude . If you don't mind me asking what is the total cost to make a YJ like his ? ALL mods included ( engine , suspension , axles , metal work ... the lot )

It’s crazy how far bolt on parts have come . I prefer to build not buy !
Super super clean YJ!!!! It’s awesome. What’s the wheelbase and height to belly pan?
Wheel base is 100" - not sure about the belly height.
What is measurement from end of tire to end of tire? And how much back space do you have on your wheels? I’m trying to build a low COG Yj on 40’s. How is body roll/stability, Ever try the antirock sway bar? Beautiful Jeep man
F@%king awesome!!!
