That’s awesome. I love that story! However, I’ve already finished the conversation and I’m super happy with it. The nice thing is that it’s based entirely on the Sahara model and just a fancy paint job. If I ever wanted to I could bring it back to nearly factory with a simple paint job. But I have to be honest. I’m loving having it as a JP Jeep. The joy it brings people when they see it is awesome.
Clean yj! I am currently working on a 92 myself. Just a little advice...Make sure to torque and inspect the exhaust manifold bolts. The 2 studs front(next to power steering) and rear closest to firewall commonly snap off so it’s something to look at
Oh definitely go Jurassic Park with it. That’s the only thing that should be done with a YJ and that’s one of my dream vehicles. If my wife never rode in it and I didn’t need 4 doors I would sell my JK in a heartbeat and would build a JP YJ
The reason your ac doesn’t work well is because it doesn’t have ac lol. The cold selection on the dash is just to open a vent. Gotta love it. Same on my 92.
Nice jeep!! I myself bought a 1992 in early 2020. Also my first jeep. Mine has a 4 cylinder engine, it doesn't like hwy speeds, but does great otherwise. There are a few things I hope to never have to replace. The main one is the power steering gearbox, they are not cheap compared to other parts. Mine has what is called a leaf-over lift (leaf springs mounted on the top of the axles), so the 31's I have on it looks small. 2 things I did right away, front bumper (for winch) and LED headlight/taillight upgrade. Both found online and both for less than $300. Enjoy!!
Awesome! Super excited about your Jeep and what you’ll end up doing with it. I keep going back and forth about the LED headlights. I don’t love the look of them compared to the original, but the output / benefit is significant. Which ones did you get?
Nice YJ. When I bought my red YJ, just like you, I didn't even notice the headlights were square. Don't care if someone else doesn't like them. I was so happy to have a Jeep I bought another, but a TJ, six months later. :)
Awesome YJ, love finding them in good stock shape like that. 92 would have a computer especially since the 2.5L has been around for a while in a fuel injected format. I would keep that Jeep as stock as you can while maybe changing some things to improve a little off road performance maybe a locker or two, things that maintain the overall stock look while giving you a bit of a boost. Jurassic Jeep would be cool but there are lots of replicas out there of them already. That front bumper isn't a HD one. It's just a stock bumper or a stock replacement from Omix or Crown from a CJ. But a lot of stuff can interchange between the CJs and YJs.
Looking to get this exact model in mint condition really soon. Waiting on the seller to reply tomorrow lmao. So sick and tired of my city's potholes and poor street conditions
My dad bought a yj in 2005 but he sold it a few years ago mainly because it was starting to rust and my dad didnt have the money to fix it and i want a yj just like my dad
Hey Matt, Great ride!! I had a 1991 Wrangler Islander back in 91, and a 92 Wrangler Sahara also in 92 lol. loved every day of them and might get me one soon off of eBay! :D
Hey I have a 92 wrangler 4.0 automatic and I'm currently fixing it up, I got it when I was about 12 but didnt drive it till I was 16, now I'm 17 and it's pretty beat, it was also used for off road so the rust is crazy 😬 but I'm getting the floor board all patched up, I bought a new hard top for it, new led headlights, 2 inch body lift and 36 inch tires I need a lot more things, like paint, new radio and speakers cause that's an essential 😂 and new seats, I took out the rear ones and like it better, also might get the doors that are just two metal bars, hope it goes well for you and your jeep
The Jurassic park thing has been way overdone, but it's also your jeep. Do your thing. My YJ came with a bed liner interior from previous owner and I love it. Probably a good route to go if you want that tub to last.
I did end up with the Jp theme and I’ve very happy. It’s been great watching people stop and take pictures and enjoy it. One day I may line the tub, but for now I put carpet back into it
tony mata right now there are some little things I need to do to it like replacing some seals and little things. Once that’s done I’m leaning towards the Jurassic Park Color scheme.
Yeah they can really range in price, I found this one for $4,000 body was in great shape, but it needed some engine work done. All in all it's coming in around $6,000-$7,000 after putting the new engine in.
If I were fortunate to come across a 1992 Jeep Wrangler Sahara YJ in good condition that someone wanted to sell at a fair reasonable price, I would definitely buy it, take it off of their hands and convert it into my very own film-accurate replica of the Jurassic Park jeep down to the last detail and replace the old radio with a CD player to play the Jurassic Park soundtrack and I would drive it to a Halloween costume party dressed up as a dinosaur handler and enter it in a car show.
@@SimplyMustGo Okay. I just recently came across the video of you giving away your jeep. I'm surprised that you didn't still keep it around to convert it into a Jurassic Park jeep yourself
@@leztaylor9532 yeah. They are creeping up in price here too. I think as they become more rare and people start looking at them as classics like a CJ they will only start to go up.
Best advice ever! It’s my favorites vehicle to drive for sure. There are times I just need to take it for a drive around the block because I love driving it so much.
Honestly I would try to do a very good research or contacting a Jeep expert and try to bring it back to 100% stock factory original state, this is what holds their value and originality, Jurassic park idea is good but I think you will get bored of it in a couple of months, to bold for me.
Well the good news is that running a screen accurate Jurassic park Jeep is mostly a stock Sahara with a paint job. So if something happens and I get bored, I can always paint it again and be back to almost factory stock.
So i have a 1992 YJ Wrangler Sport I just started an Instagram page just for jeeps @jeep_adventures_x I loved your video, however I prefer the chrome antiquey vibes to this model Jeep. What I mean is the chrome inserts on the grill and bumper and hood clips even the side mirrors! I just love that look! Anyways check my account out on Instagram. My main account is in my Instagram Bio!
PLEASE don't turn it into yet another lame ass Jurassic Park knock off. It's the modern day equvalent of a forearm tribal tatoo. Don't do anything to it. The original paint and striping are in amazing condition. Restore it to original conditon. Stock YJ are poised to explode in value since they are rare. Most people have trashed their original YJ's nine ways to Sunday by cutting them up, applying rattle can/ rhino paint jobs, and customizing them into cheesy Mad Max looking offroad hunks of sh#t. If you had a excellent condition orginal '68 Camaro, would you turn it into a science project? If you did, you'd be absolutely destroying the value, because when you cusomize something it's nearly impossible to find someone who has the same lousy taste as you and you're pretty much guaranteed to get nowhere close to the amount of money you spent ruining it back when you sell it. If you want a serious off road monster YJ, buy one that's been brought back from the dead and and Frankesteined into one and leave this beauty to the collectors, PLEASE.

That’s true! It’s not really “AC” it’s blow some air at me...

you deserve it man! just subbed cant wait to see what happens

I have a 92 YJ 4.0 5 SPEED. Was blue with a white top. Im doing a poor farmboy version of WWII TRIBUTE . ID like to see how yours would turn out.
Yes Jurassic park jeep! awesome buy. keep up the hard work!
Thanks! Yeah I'm pretty sure we're going Jurassic Park with it!

That's awesome! I think you'll love it. I don't regret getting mine at all!

Man! I bet he loved it while he had it. Hope it went to someone that was able to keep it running.
It did
@@soaraxton9672 awesome. That makes me happy.
@@SimplyMustGo hope you like your yj and try to like it while you still can
@@SimplyMustGo hi its me again my dad told me 1 time that his wheel barings went out back in the early 2000s
YAY for you!!! Love our new Jeep!
Yeah I'm really excited to get the top off and have some fun with it!
Congrats....! just turn it into what you will Happy with when you drive it.... enjoy and be safe Matt...
Thanks!
Got a 90 yj during lock down also! Put a 4" lift and 33's looks awesome!
That's awesome! Have you gotten it out on any cool trails yet?
sweet rig , i have a 1990 jeep yj 4.2l and the jeep yj is the icon wrangler today and for ever
Thank you!! Yeah. I love the YJ. #SaveTheSquares
I have the 1995 YJ and 2013 FJ Love them both! Both are easy to work on.
Yeah my YJ is my favorite car I've ever owned.
@@SimplyMustGo Yup! YJ is like my Motorcycle. Just fun. Almost feels the same. I have mine fully open.
Jurassic Park Jeep always is the right answer! It's never in poor taste contrary to the Jurassic World people.
Yeah you can't go Jurassic World, Got to keep it OG.
*** whistles Jurassic Park theme ***
Haha. Yep. Not sure if you watched the following videos, but it should be back from its JP paint job in a couple of weeks.
Hey Matt, Great ride!! I had a 1991 Wrangler Islander back in 91, and a 92 Wrangler Sahara also in 92 lol. loved every day of them and might get me one soon off of eBay! :D
That's awesome! The Jeep I referenced that my cousin had was an Islander also!
I have a 94 Jeep Wrangler 4 l. Just keep it like that, man. Enjoy your vehicle, man. It's a nice one.
VR Hugo
I just bought a YJ and I can’t even wait to have fun with it
Yeah you’ll love it. I had mine out all weekend on an overlanding trip / trail called the Scar. Videos coming soon!
i love your jeep man, i’m looking at a red 92 yj myself and it’s perfect
I have a 1993 ....and it runs amazing!!!
What is a tape player?
[Sarcasm]
Haha. I wish I had the tape player. The CD player the last owner put in is trash.

Christian Redondo thats awesome! I know you’ll have a blast with it!
I got my Jeep the day before lockdowns so it was essential for us too Haha
Kerry Wanamaker haha seriously think it was one of the best decisions I made. Kept me sane though all of this!
I own a 1991 2.5 engine
I recommend to leave it as is. It’s already beautiful, hard to find in the condition yours is in.
none None thanks! I’m going to spend some time really making it look nice inside and out and then once it’s there I might just paint it.
I added an Air Conditioning system last year. That was probably the best investment I made out here in SoCal
The JPark Jeep’s are cool but leave it the way it is. Fantastic condition
I have a 93 stock, I would love to show you a pic of what I did...maybe we can connect
Jurassic Park Jeep would be cool
Thanks! I'm excited about the conversion.
Matt Brodie I’ve subbed and am going to watch all your jeep videos bro we’ll done 👍🏻
Good jeep 1992

Hi,yj is my beloved car N1,and i wish own one some day.
I love it so much. Favorite car I’ve ever owned!
Where is the jeep now
It’s in PA getting it’s final stages done on it’s new paint job!
@@SimplyMustGo can’t wait to see it 👍
@@ggutierz430 yeah I’m so excited. Should only be another week or 2
I would turn it into a Macgyver Jeep. You don’t see any of those around. Jurassic Jeep is over done. Good luck and nice find! A
Haha. I actually thought about it, but the MacGyver Jeep is just a basic YJ that looks beat up! 🤣
How much did you pay for it? I’m wanting a Jurassic Park Jeep and curious. Most Jeeps I see are around $3k to $14k.
Yeah they can really range in price, I found this one for $4,000 body was in great shape, but it needed some engine work done. All in all it's coming in around $6,000-$7,000 after putting the new engine in.
First you need to decide if you want it to still fit in your garage!!
And yes turn it into a Jurassic park jeep lol
It’s about 2 weeks from being complete!
If I were fortunate to come across a 1992 Jeep Wrangler Sahara YJ in good condition that someone wanted to sell at a fair reasonable price, I would definitely buy it, take it off of their hands and convert it into my very own film-accurate replica of the Jurassic Park jeep down to the last detail and replace the old radio with a CD player to play the Jurassic Park soundtrack and I would drive it to a Halloween costume party dressed up as a dinosaur handler and enter it in a car show.

Hi Matt would love to get a YJ BUT they are very very very expensive here in the UK 😩
@@leztaylor9532 yeah. They are creeping up in price here too. I think as they become more rare and people start looking at them as classics like a CJ they will only start to go up.
This jeep looks amazing! I'm saving money to buy one then modify it to look like the Jurassic Park jeep.
Edit: Make it Jurassic Park. I dare you.
Challenge accepted. 🤣
How much do you want to spend on it.jeep stands for just empty every pocket.Yeh I have one and I broke now.
Well.... so far all of it.
Stay red plz . And 3.5 lift with 35 inch tires .
Hey if you have a 4.0 it has a computer.
4” lift with 35” tires and call it a day.
Which requires thousands of dollars invested in axles as well ..
You should make it jurassic park jeep
