It's actually fun wheeling with open diffs, There are a lot of us who wheel on ZERO budget myself included. Stuck in my apt building parking lot with hand tools working on my Heep yj haha .....Very cool build \m/
For $225 an Aussie is a game changer. 33s, 1” body mounts, 5/8” shackles, fix the oem perches to low profile, SYE and flat skid is about all you need to be, well, impressed. And impressive. I could not tolerate those stucks myself. He needs like 2” of suspension lift. Stock springs will work fine
I too have a YJ. I also just bought a rubicon LJ. The lockers are such a nice thing too have. Open diffs are fun but so it creeping up a trail with no issues!
@@tristansundquist1834 The problem is too many people drop money on an expensive built rig (ie Rubicon), but don't know how to drive. If they didn't have all the bells & whistles they couldn't drive out of a wet paper bag, and they end up breaking stuff. Learning to wheel with open diffs, & some decent tires will teach you how to find your line, & as Rick Pewe said perform a mechanical ballet. You will appreciate the lockers all the more, & all the cool stuff when it adds to your skills not replaces them. Also, you will break fewer components as you really learn how to use your vehicle & not simply push some buttons & then give it the skinny pedal. What that didn't work well give it more skinny pedal.
@@harvestblades My first vehicle was a 91 YJ and I definitely know what it’s like to drive without lockers. That’s why I have a rubicon now. I just see “newer” off road vehicles with IFS and they are lifting a tire over the smallest of obstacles. I’m not saying it’s terrible. I’m saying I actually use my Jeep for Jeep purposes and IFS isn’t the move.
When you start wheel spin, apply light brake pressure, used to call it poor man's locker. Looks like TJ flares, opens up fenders. Disconnect sway bar, keeps front wheels on ground. Better traction, without a winch, a 3 ton come a long with a couple 30 recovery straps can get you unstuck when needed. Doing fine with what you have, you'll get better.
I have LSD on the back, no sway bars at all. I like to wheeling on cheap rigs it’s way more fun and challenging. Instead of high dollar builds where you can go anywhere with no drama.
@@nickracing6328 stickers are great, but in my part of the country trails we ran on 30 inch tires 40 years ago aren't doable anymore. Even at 68 years old I still want to go. Won't give up just yet. I like your attitude though, the more challenge, the more fun. No one needs what they don't want. No substitute for a positive attitude and a good attitude.
Looking forward to the build video. I have 2 YJs, one lifted and one stock. And I love the looks of yours. I too like the low dollar rigs A tricked out Rubicon can go about anywhere but to get a tiny open diff 4 banger to make it…. Now that’s fun! Keep wheelin’ bud
unless he has wheel spacers, he'll rub badly turning the front tires hard left and right when flexed, also look at the mods done to the front fenders. I'll also bet it rubs in the rear on full flex. I have 30's on mine and it will rub front and rear at full flex. It does look nice.

that is impressive , YJ looks totally at home with those big tires ...

Nice
Im doing a yj 8.8 rear and stock in front im about to cut and measure bcs this set up i love the way looks
Looks like it does great.I have a samurai on 33s and no lift.Geared and welded front and rear.Videos on my channel.
Sub'd ;)
You need lockers for dana 35 and 30 to front cost 245. each one .
locked dana 35 on 35 inch tires.... hmmm = kaboom :D
Saying that is “No Lift” with those extended shackles is ridiculous.
Love this setup. I'd like to see a vid with some details on how you did it- wheel offsets, fender and tub cutting, etc.
Doing Build Video right now!
@@procars7470
Thanks to this reply i will subskribe
what gears are you using? add lockers and you wouldn't have gotten stuck any....damn good job though.
I’m using 1-2 low range. Got LSD on the back.
@@nickracing6328
My buddy keeps his LSD in a vial...
Nice ;-) How is the D35 holding up?
For past 2 years nothing broke yet. You don’t need a tons for 35s.
Do you need to cut the fenders to fit those tires? I added a 1 Inch body lift with stock suspension. Thanks
He did a highline fender conversion here. Notice how the top of the headlight and the fender are now in line, and the hood profile is slimmer
I'm in the middle of a no lift 35s build right now. are you going to leave the fronts cut like that or do like a comp cut style?
Probably I’m gonna stay with what I have now. I like when people on the trails thinking it’s full stock and it makes the same as their moded ones.
Lunchbox lockers at list for rear axel
Whats the gear ratio on your yj? Recently put 35” on my tj with 3.5 lift but stock 3.73..do u think i have to regear?
You should re-gear.
Приветствую, может есть инстаграм посмотреть на фото этого ежа?

No rub. Got extended bump stops on the back. Front is fine as is.
Weld up the rear diff....
Thinking about lunch box locker.
what are the specs on this rig?
Bone stock mostly.

MY JEEP IS A 4 CIL 2.5 MOTOR ,..,DO YOU THINK ,.., I WOULD BE OK WITH THOSE SIZE TIRES ,.,.OR WOULD I NEED SOME TYPE OF ADAPTION ,..,
Definitely gonna need to regear
Nathan Bauer thank you very much
Run 35d regear to 4:88s. Will cost you a little under $1000
No sway bar ??
No sway bars
Is your YJ regear
No, stock 3.73s
Stock axles?
Yes sir
Aussie up front would change your whole world. Big time
You need a locker
What he said x1000
No, he dosen't.
Look at shackles definitely not a "NO LIFT"
Paused it at 4:39 to take a good look. They look like the factory stamped shackles to me.
why
Because its fun. Whats the point if your just going to easily glide over everything.
BS that's not even factory shocks
No duh. You shouldn't have the factory shocks on a 30 year old vehicle
@@REXYofthe501st that's not even factory style they aren't flat OEMstyle is
