Hey it's the return of my Jeep Wrangler YJ project! I have too many broken cars that are in desperate need of attention, so this one sat for almost a year. 🥴 A friend offered to give me this 1992 Wrangler for free last year, and the only progress that I made on it was a new set of tires! I've driven it around a bit but there are still quite a few things I need work on to make this a safe and reliable driver. Today I visit Sean from Sean's Auto Care and he'll take us through everything that is wrong with my free YJ project! Come join us!

I like how he calls the transfer case an “all wheel drive unit”
Haha yeah, he knows it's a transfer case. Sean's first time on camera, when you shoot a quick vid sometimes there are a few slip-ups :)
Your mechanic obviously isn't a jeep guy.
That radiator is copper and brass, not aluminum.
All 2.5s had an ac bracket, wether they had ac or not.
That "all wheel drive unit" is a transfer case. (Specifically its a 231)
Thats not a "trailing arm", its a track bar. I wouldn't rebuild it, I'd throw row it in the trash.
Toss the rear track bar in the scrap heap too.
That is a pretty cool Jeep.
Pressure wash everything really well Replace the radiator and valve cover gasket.
Flush the brakes and coolant. Drive it.
Keep an eye on everything and see what else pops up.
That's it right there. Regardless of all the issues there that jeep will still run and get you around. Just fix things little by little eventually you'll have a sound little rig.
Ive had two YJ’s. They always need something, but always get you where you need to go. They’re also easy and generally enjoyable to work on especially with no rust. I actually loved the four cylinder, it’s torquey and fun. Enjoy it!
How would you rate it as a hunting vehicle?
That "trailing arm" is called a track bar and or panhard bar. On the axle those plugs are where you fill them at not drain them. You cant and shouldnt fill your axles pass the fill plugs on a dana 30 and dana 35 axle.
That’s a mechanic I wouldn’t go to ever. Doesn’t know a copper radiator from his butt, either, and thinks a YJ has an “all wheel drive unit”
What a joke of a shop. And vid.
@@fishhuntadventure bet he's gonna keep it in the shop with "fatal differential issues"
I am a JK owner. The YJ brings back fond memories. Back in '93 my dad bought a Sahara 4.0 with the manual transmission from the dealership and he daily drove that jeep for 26 years until he sold it! Only thing that needed replaced was the radiator and starter while he owned it. After he sold it, he purchased a TJ.
I have a 1992 Jeep Wrangler Islander Edition(blue) 258 (4.0L) six, standard and a 1996 Jeep W/304 V8/turbo 400 and Quadatrac system all stock. This video was a great DIY inspection. Thank you and good luck with your charity, you have a good heart.
Also, just an FYI. All 4 cylinder wranglers have the bracket that looks like it could mount an AC compressor, because it was used for an AC compressor on jeeps equiped as such, but even on AC-less jeeps it was used just so that they could save a few bucks not having to design a different bracket.
I like that mechanic. I wish mine took time to explain like he did
i dont he seems snarky overconfident and under educated wtf is an all wheel drive unit
I love my yj its the red headed step child of the jeeps.
better then the JK with the crap 3.8 v6 the TJ and YJ the last real jeep simple, rugged, small, and damageous.
E3 spark plugs.......ugh, ditch those immediately, it’ll run a lot better! And then flush the block with a citrus-based radiator cleaner, it’s cast iron and running 100% water will cause serious rusting internally and clog the radiator....that might be why the heater core was disconnected: it’s clogged up.
If you don't do most of the work on your YJ...then it will squash you in the wallet ..{plus you lose the pride of ownership feel and all the fun)
100 percent
Great to watch a professional mechanic look over and comment on a vehicle on video. First for me. Always learning
A jeep like yours is a warrior my neighbor in my village have the same model different colours home made back a radiator leak white smoke and he sill get him to his land and back home safe keep the contents
Eliminate the panhard bar. Smoother ride and better suspension travel.
Glad the news was good, Ethan. You're such a good dude.
😀😀😀
Sick Jeep Ethan! Can’t wait to see more vids on it!
Definitely worthy of saving and sending to the next owner. Looking forward to seeing you wrench on it some.
That engine don’t have a pcv valve…. It has a CCV valve. Big difference. PVC = positive crankcase ventilation…. CCV = continuous crankcase ventilation.. huge difference. A real mechanic would know the difference. JS
I knew he wasn’t a real mechanic after he called the transfer case an “all wheel drive unit”
good to hear it wasn't anything you weren't expecting... we need a new Probe video!
I have a 90 I love it. You got a keeper 🤘🏼
been waiting for this one!
Wow, the front suspension on a YJ looks pretty much like the back...Solid axle and leaf springs and all!
Glad there wasn't anything too crazy wrong with this car. I bet most 1992 vehicles would have similar issues.
I didn’t notice a car in this vid?
That Jeep needs minimal, as far as the track bars toss them in the garbage where they belong...
Great video! Everything he showed you is diy, let’s see you get over to auto zone and make this happen!
The oil all over the transmission is probably from the rear main seal, common problem, easy fix.
Besides brake pads, I can’t do much myself. I hear the terms often but seeing them as they are being talked about while it was on lift etc was educational for someone like me. I was expecting entertainment but I got an education too haha
When we started working on our 1988 YJ it was easier to list what was right with it and start from there.
39th thumbs up definitely worth fixing brother, enjoyed watching and always great episodes Ethan and thanks for sharing it with us and have a great day bro 👍👊😎
this reminds me of when I bought my 94 YJ 2 years ago... only mine ended up way worse
Nice Jeep with square headlights, isn't it what MacGyver drove in the tv show? :)
Yes he drove one too 😀
“All wheel drive unit” 😂 Sean hasn’t worked on many jeeps 😂😂😂
Haha yeah, he knows it's a transfer case. Sean's first time on camera, when you shoot a quick vid sometimes there are a few slip-ups :)
I like it
Yj love
And just so you know...the slave cylinder is internal..87-93. When that goes..and they do, you have to drop the tranny. There is a mod to switch to external. It isn’t hard to do..do it!
Good to know, thanks
You have the best sunglasses
😎😎😎
What was the cost to do the maintenance and repairs?
not as bad, the walk through was anxiety inducing lol
it annoys me how he called the transfer case an "all-wheel drive unit"
We filmed this quickly, he's aware that it's known as the transfer case :)
I picked my jeep up today for 300 dollars and it has a lot of rust and it needs a fule pump
You should never just look at a vehicle, and guess, for example checking front ball joints should be with large vise grips or hands on tire movement test... Another example of just looking at a vehicle 🚜🔧🛸✨ should be wether or not too much rust is underneath vehicle to salvage or not...Also you can simply just listen to the engine and completely tell when it's just done, or worn out ..🛠️✨🏆I work a 4x4 Jeep and off-road shop...
And yes one more question were you Abel to fix the probe?
Not yet. 😭😭😭 Trying to sell some vehicles so I can get to it
@@HelloRoad sorry man I wish you a verry good luck
that jeep looks in really good shape honestly. as a shop owner/mechanic I am sure Shawn is a good mechanic but needs his Terminology down a little better calling the transfer case APT O unit and calling the copper radiator and aluminum radiator does not make him look good on screen and in the Midwest as long as the vehicle didn't shake violently I don't think anyone would care about those bushings too much as long as they were still there. something note worthy yes but not anything I would price out unless asked
These jeeps don't have APC v valve on. Them, that's just an air orifice you're looking at.
How does one get a FREE Jeep?
✅️
Ethan, You should have sold the Jeep and kept the Tacoma 😂
Maybe! But the Jeep has no rust!! 😆
@@HelloRoad How could it rust with all that oil leaking/seeping/spraying everywhere? 😁
@@rightlanehog3151 😭
Are we going to see a restoration of this Jeep?
Yes I do hope to document some of the fixes! Not going to paint it but will do my best to clean up the exterior and interior :)
@@HelloRoad If you don't watch the channel AMMO NYC, you should. He shows a lot of good tactics to get dirty interiors clean.l
@@mexicanspec yeah it's a great channel! Will definitely need some inspiration, this interior is FILTHY!
I had my YJ check by my credit union appraised for $4600.00. You want just to give it away.
This hurt to watch
Where'd you get a free jeep
Apparently a really good friend!
This mechanic is obviously not experienced with older Jeeps, his head would explode if he was in the rust belt.
That thing is $8000 all day in Canada
Yeah these have definitely gone up in value! I'm probably going to dump about 2-3k into it. So when I sell it there will hopefully still be a good amount left over for the charity :) :)
@@HelloRoad good man. All the best on the adventure
doesn't seem like much work! gaskets, bushings, and fluid change
And a radiator.
Yeah not too bad. Still going to put a couple grand into it before I'm done. But should be worth it!
Pretty obvious your mechanic does not know Jeeps. Although servicing fluids on a used car is a 1st thing…. And a safety inspection is prudent, it’s an old vehicle. Worn parts are expected. Priorities- Fluids, (power wash underside/engine - makes finding serious leaks easier), Stop, Go….
HaHaHa, there is No Free vehicle. Your time and money are invested in it. Old Jeeps are like puppies; They must be rescued when found!
This Jeep needs to be Jurassic Parked!! 🦖🦖🦕👍🏼
Shaun lost me at "all wheel drive unit" AKA Tansfer Case...🙄🙄
Yeah, he knows it's a transfer case. Sean's first time on camera, probably a bit nervous, when you shoot a quick vid sometimes there are a few slip-ups :)
