That TJ is so clean I don't know if I could take it offroad ... lol
Lol he can’t off road tho the tires are gonna destroy his body if he hits a bump
@@alexmel2419 not if he has bump stops ... just won’t have any flex
it will never see off road,but nice jeep tho!
Where the hell did you find a tj with 9 thousand miles
the internet
I was thinking the same thing
Found it in 2001
Steve the Pirate I just found one with 90k ready for mods and so on....down side it’s a Automatic but will be my first Jeep in a great condition no sign of rust what so ever they never too it out 🤞🏼
Lol mine has over 200,000
Well done!! I have been having a hard time making TJ decisions.. the bumper, turn signals, and fenders are exactly what i have been looking for!!
Great looking Jeep! I like what you are doing. I have Grandpa's 69 CJ5 (red) but it always needs work so I just bought a 97 TJ from an old local guy that daily drove 292k miles on it. Got it so my son, daughter and myself to get out wheeling more. Enjoy!
I have a stock TJ on 33s, and its climbed more downed pines and been sunk up to the axles in mud with water flowing through the cab more times than I can count. You dont have to have a rock crawler to enjoy your Jeep. Really like the fenders and 35s. That's definitely on my wish list. Nice jeep man.
Thanks brother!
Hey guys, looking to bump up from my stock 30’s. I have a 2006 TJ with the 4L and 6-speed manual. Do you have any issues with stock axels and gearing running 33s or 35s? I also do some light off-roading in Illinois and Indiana.
Love the LCOG look you have achieved, Very nice jeep!
Also, this has to be one of the cleanest TJ's I've ever seen. You are very lucky to have found this Jeep. WOW!! Someone really took care of it.
Thank you!
I liked your tinted windows , I do the same with my TJ , thanks for sharing.
Thank you sir!
That exhaust sounds really nice!!!
Thank you!
Great commentary .. enjoy the fruit of your labor with all thanksgiving!
Thanks brother! I will!
That thing is so clean! Awesome
Thank you!
Great Looking Jeep!
I liked the detailed review of the MetalCloak fenders. I am on the fence about lifting or high lining to accommodate 35’s but you sold me on the High lines.
Thank you!
Do a High Line - drives much better
Nice ride. I have a 2005 Jeep TJ Rubicon I purchased new. It has 82k miles and I love it. Stripped the interior and had it rhino lined. 2.5 in lift but only went up to 32" tires. Plan is to go to 35 in a few months. Paint was getting a bit tired, so had a friend with a auto wrap shop do a complete black camo wrap. I have after market front and rear bumpers, but as my rear bumper being a Barricade Classic, I haven't found accessories where I can mount fuel cans etc. I did add a Cat Back exhaust and it sounds great. Upgraded the brakes and calibers and steering. As my wife says, she's my expensive mistress. However, when I hear her complain about the cost of something I buy for the jeep, all I have to say is "it beats having a car payment". Aside from tires, my next planned accessory is a portable HAM radio unit. Mine came with a soft and hard top and while I agree, storage for the hard top is a pain, but I'm keeping my hard top for the added security it offers for any gear I have in the jeep.
I got hit by a drunk driver in December... totaled my Ford ranger and I just recently bought an 06 Jeep Wrangler Sport pretty much stock. I’m excited and looking forward to putting some nice mods on it! Love your videos, keep it up!
Glad your ok brother! Sorry about your truck. Congrats on the jeep tho hope you will like it
Love the jeep. I have a red 03 TJ myself. Hate to see people bash a beautiful jeep that is personally tailored to YOUR needs. That’s what it’s all about, taking a stock jeep and building it to your taste and your needs. Keep it up, glad I subscribed last year!
Thanka brother!
I have a 02 tj with 5.5 custom axles and longarm and I built it to get shit beat out of it.
This is my dream jeep, great job
Thank you!
go with the ZJ tie rod+drag link set up, i did it with my TJ and it made a NIGHT AND DAY difference, jeep felt more solid, planted on road, steering was tighter and had less input from road bumps
This Jeep is so clean!!! This is what I want my YJ to look similar to but a little bit different! Omg this is so sick
Thank you!
Beautiful color lol great vid I got an 05 with 64k miles for 9g's so far did 3.25 lift rims n tires now need headlights better steering stabilizer n would love to get rid of Fenders at some point
Great looking TJ!
Thank you sir!
That exhaust is sweet!
Thank you!
Great build so far. Like the stock suspension idea with the bigger tires. Just bought a 2003 with 12900 miles on it. Had a lot of CJ's in my younger years and not sure what to do with this but have to do something. Looking forward to some of your next video's.
Makes me want to get a jeep myself, Great video!
Thanks Leo
KyleSVT I’m looking to buy my first red 2001 Jeep Wrangler sport 90k miles excellent condition never been off road if I go 35s no lift should I stay stock on the ⚙️? thanks 🙏🏼
New Speedo Gear! 👍🏼
Nice rig! Red on black scuba seat covers will really rock the interior! It made my 04 red tj look really good. Get you a smittybuilt winch for up front. It has multiple uses, not just for getting stuck. (I pulled bushes out of my flower beds with mine!)
I have A-pillar lights too and I looked the look.
Thanks Jimmy!
Good job with the Jeep & the video‼️👍
Thanks Ron!
Like your Jeep better than most. Great mods.
Thanks!
I love that thing. Some of these people on here act like they only drive off-road... I’d love a Jeep like that!
Thanks Jerome!
Great looking jeep!!!!!!!
Thank you
thank you so much for this clear video
no problem! Thanks for watching!
Those are some sick looking fenders
Thanks!
Good video, thumbs up! That sun was killer though.
Thanks!
Really nice setup my friend !!
Thank you sir!
That's a great looking Jeep man! My dream vehicle is a 98 Silverado but, a 2000 TJ is a very very close second! When I turn 16 I wan't to get both truck first of course but, I mean wow great looking...I want mine to be painted a military green 9 inch lift and 40 for hitting some mean trails. Love your Jeep again man best on CZcams by far!
Thank you!
I just bought an 02 patriot blue TJ with 39k on it, it is by far my favorite vehicle, it’s on 33x12.50’s and i couldn’t be happier with it, you have a really nice TJ and I can’t wait to see what else you do to it
Very cool dude! Thank you!
I have the same exact tj....02 patriot blue with tan top with 98k on it, 2 1/2" suspension and 1 1/4 body lift and 33 x 12.5 BF km2.....i park it for the Mn winters and getting it out every spring is like getting a new toy all over again.
Love the TJ man! But personally I think she would look so sweet with just a minor lift kit, almost looks like a low rider the way it’s set up now 😂
That thing looks great..!!
Thanks Todd!
I want to really thank you man I'm building a tactical urban assault vehicle with mine...no need for a lift. So to see that I can get 35s with no lift makes me sooo happy!
How would it be an urban assault vehicle running 35 no lift on a TJ you have no suspension travel performance is going to be horrible. Most cars would do a better job.
@@street_legal_go_kart7356 🤔 you might be right. Why would I need articulation in the street?
@@douglasabreland3930 you have to have good suspension travel and grip if you're trying to build an urban assault vehicle who are you going to assault if your vehicle can't even keep up with people?
That would make it about as scary as a Prius.
You can run 33s on a TJ with a 2-inch lift and some cutting and still have good suspension travel. There's absolutely no way to fit 35s on a TJ with no lift we need a minimum of a 2in true Highline fenders in the front and lots of cutting in the rear and you have to pull the rear axle back about 2 in. What's required genright fuel tank and relocate the spring brackets.
That was my plan when I had my TJ. 99tjsahara i had 14 years .
@@street_legal_go_kart7356 Cut the pinch welds in the rear and re-weld. 35s fit with tubed fenders and a simple 1" bodylift. If they rub the tube fenders a little it's no big deal.
In-coil airbags can add even more clearance if offroad needs require it.
Sick AF.. great video
Thank you!
Sick jeep bro👍👍
Thanks man!
Well, before ya offroad your jeep, u r definately going to have to upgrade a few things. The first thing to go will b ring and pinion gear. Secondly, once u change gearing for the 35's, u will start popping stock axles. Once u upgrade to chomoly axles u should b able to keep the 35's. U will also wanna upgrade your upper and lower control arms as u will find they bend quite easily. I want u to not have to learn the expensive hard way like i did with my tj build. Beautiful jeep. B safe and keep that frame clean. They like to rust.
Love your TJ. I have a 2000 TJ Sahara. Running 35 on a similar wheel, the Pro Comp 252 D series. Have a 4.5 Rock Krawler long arm lift. Also running Yukon 488 gears with Aussie lockers. Just Raptor lined the interior and exterior. I used the Raptor liner Professional adjustable spray gun. Gave me a really nice Raptor liner on the exterior not to thick. Being I live in the Southwest it really nice to have the Raptor liner becase the desert bush and mesquite really pin strip your paint job. I got the full quarter body armour and fenders. I'll have to post it on you tube. Take care.
Thank you! very cool!
Very nice looking Jeep. I'm amazed 35's fit on it with no lift. Great job. BTW: I recommend dropping your trans skid to clean out that rust, bed line it and add a few washers to create a gap between the two of them to prevent future rust.
Thank you! Yes I plan to take the skid down and fix the rust
They dont . just because you can doesn't mean it's a good idea he has no suspension travel at all.
Armor it as a priority. The metal cloak rails are great and would seamlessly integrate with your fenders.
Recovery would be next if you're planning on wheeling at all.
I wouldn't mess with the front end (steering components and such) unless they give you trouble.
Great build and excellent low mileage example.
Also, Banks makes the sidewinder COMPLETE BOLT ON turbo system called the sidewinder
Thank you!
That's a CLEAN TJ. Just found your channel and look forward to going through all the videos for the TJ. Mine is still bone stock other than removing the soft top and putting an 03 hard top on it. My only issues in 120K miles have been a lot of evap vacuum leaks that Ive been fixing one at a time as the money light turns on. I dont like the 03 hard top because of the window wiper motor blocking my view but couldn't find an 02 or older around here.
Thank you!
Great looking build. I've been looking for one myself, but it's really hard to find one with a ton of miles. I have been sort of going back and forth between a Jeep and Toyota FJ40. A Jeep might be better from a daily driver standpoint and parts availability. I had a CJ5 years ago and would like to find a good Jeep at a reasonable price without a million miles on it. The roof rack will look killer. It's already a great looking TJ. I just found your channel recently, great stuff...subbed.
Thanks brother!
She looks mean, Kyle!
I love your JEEP. Build as you go, build for what YOU need.
Good job so far. I didn't even know you could roll 35s with no lift.
I'm getting great ideas here.
😎👌
Thanks bro!
i sure like the rack that you have on the rear . ive been trying to figure out where to carry jeep cans on my 2003 rubicon . But haven't had any luck . i have a Hanson bumper and nothing fits. i bought my rubicon with 24000 miles on it . thanks for the walk around.
Thanks for watching
Very nice !
Thanks!
Nice TJ. Just picked up super clean ‘04 Rubicon with 30K miles. I’ve owned for TJ’s now . Tried To love a JK and couldn’t. TJs are the best!
Lol jk smokes tj all day .
@@street_legal_go_kart7356 lmao. last real jeep is the TJ... Fuck off with that pentastar v6 trash.........
@@street_legal_go_kart7356 For simplicity, budget, and fitting tight places the TJ is better than the JK/JL/JT.
The newer Wranglers are more civilized and have a lot of nice features, but they're more expensive and complicated, which is generally not ideal for a vehicle seeing rough use in BFE.
@@MiguelGarcia-vj7oo lol 3.6 smokes the 4.slow all day :) can almost hit 70 in 8th .
@@RKmndo not true at all jk fits any place the 99tj sahara i had 14 years did and does it better . 2 grand in suspension in the tj. Have 2" spacers on the jk .
I pamper my YJ. Lift, 33s, new paint and pretty much everything else. I can get it dirty and I have but I choose not to often. Just because it's a jeep doesn't mean you need to beat it to shit. I grew up with a Jeep so just driving it and keeping it alive gives me joy. Nice rig.
Thanks bro!
great video! I just picked up a 2001 TJ, stock. So I'm looking over what I want to do to make her mine.
Thank you! Very cool!
Awesome build man. Love the straight pipe. Wanted to know what roof rack and light combo you said you were looking for? I heard "goby" I think?
Thanks brother! Yea gobi ranger roof rack and baha designs lights
Looks great! Better than mine
Thanks!
nice Jeep 🇺🇸🤘😎
You have a very nice tj
Thank you!
Very nice video
Thanks Greg!
Dam fine Jeep!
Thank you
Love your jeep sooo much man, Been subbed for I believe a year now, don't regret it one bit! 🙂💙
Thanks so much Eli!
I’ve been looking at putting a subwoofer in my center console. Has the mounting setup but didn’t have the sub. Which one did you buy and how’s the sound? Jeep look great though!
This is exactly what I will be doing with my LJ. Going with a high skid and low pro trans mount. Will probably replace my springs with stock springs and better shocks. Doubt I’ll go larger than 33. Will be highlining front and rear and pretty much be it. Then like you said, beef up what will be needed
Check out in-coil airbags. They help avoid sag with a heavy load and you can use them with an onboard air setup to add height if you founder your low-COG rig. They run about $100/axle these days. IMO, they're ideal for an LJ that gets used for towing or hauling a lot.
Nice Jeep
Thank you!
Very nice.
Thanks Chris!
Very, very nice.
Thanks!
the fenders bumber and tires make it look sooo clean...
Thanks brother!
KyleSVT no problem. You make high quality videos and I love them.
Thanks man!
Nice. Around here we would call this a Mall Crawler.
Hey Kyle -- Currently putting on my rear metacloak fender flares. I noticed that you painted the inner rear fender tub. Did you go with a satin finish for the black paint? I was leaning towards that for easier cleaning.
It is actually rustolium truck bed liner
A little winter preventive tips - LucasOil Tool Box Buddy, and Chemical Guys Jet Seal, Tool Box Buddy - a great Rust Prevention for the Metal Cloaks and bumpers
Love your TJ, and love that you built it the way you want and the way you like. All the advice from everyone on what you "need" to do makes me laugh. What paint/bed liner did you use on your inner fenders/wheel wells? Love the blacked-out look.
Thanks brother! I used Rustoleum Truck Bed Liner
I just got a 2002 jeep wrangler. and I'm going to try to get it to look like yours!
Congrats!
KyleSTV very cool TJ, looks and sound grate!!! bro, did U use the 35s whit out modify the stock relation on the jeep?
Thanks! I talk about all of that in the video
Should do a hood louver would look sick , love how the Jeep came out so far
Thanks bro!
First Jeep looks amazing. second, do you know of any downsides to hood louvers?
water getting in the engine bay when it rains I would say is a downside
@@KyleSVT I know this comment is a year later but I have the hood vents on in South Florida and I have no issues with water getting in the engine bay or causing issues. Off-road if water splashes on the hood you may get water into the bat, however these TJ's are as rugged as they come. Water getting in the engine bay won't kill it
Thanks for the input!
Man your Jeep looks great. Just got myself a 14 jku. I’ve seen a couple of your vids recommended to me because of ammo nyc lol nice content man. Sub from me 👍
Thanks brother!
My x has 35’s on it already😂got it from my mom had to do some work to it as well.
How much weight can those tire carriers carry? I know they make hitch mounted racks for dirt bikes, but I thought it’d be really nice to mount a 250cc dirt bike to a swing out tire carrier contraption like this, for easy access to the rear.
So nice, man! Still mall crawlin' until that front end gets some lovin'.
nice jeep bud i like the red and black, i just started a frame up resto with a golens 4.6 ltr 6cyl stroker motor, if you get a chance look them up they take the 4.0 v6 and stroke it,gives you 270 -300 hp,
Thanks man!
She’s a beauty
Thanks!
Hey Kyle, whats the tree tire specs on this setup? Did you use spacers? I run 33 ×12.50 but it doesnt have that "bull dog" stance.. Thanks in advance
excellent rig dude what kind of FM radio tuner was that again?
Thanks brother! www.amazon.com/dp/B00URUJWPW/?ref=idea_lv_dp_ov_d&tag=aiponsite-20&linkCode=ic6&ascsubtag=amzn1.ideas.2JUFWFBOX8OGE
Congrats on 35's with no lift. Some light bars have hood reflection problems at night.
Hi, I love the mods on your jeep. I just bought a 2003 TJ Rubicon, 6cyl, manual transmission, original stock. I am not a mechanic and I am looking for some lift kit recommendation that would accommodate 35s inch tires my brother gave me with minimum changes or expense. Your recommendations are greatly appreciated. Thank you
Thank you! I went with the highline fender rout. Don't have much insight as to what lift to go with. Stick with a reputable company tho
Veri good
Thanks
I have a question. Maybe you can help me
I bought a 3” lift kit zone Off-road with shocks , springs. Longer links also a track bar.
My question is when I get them installed. Will I also need anything other then a lift like for example a front or rear drive shaft ?
2005 TJ X
Thanks
What’s the mpg u getting for the 35s ? And also those are stock gearing ? And U done nothing to axels right ? Been wanting to put mine on 35s but I don’t know if my stock axels can handle it
just watch the wheel hop off road and don't push it until you are able to upgrade to carbide axles
Stock everything with a d44 rear and 3.73 gears. Getting around 16mpg
Se mira muy lindo hiciste un exelente trabajo....la pregunta es......funcionara en su ambiente natural????
¡Gracias! Sí, debería hacerlo bien. Es posible que deba agregar algunas paradas de choque extendidas en la parte trasera
You have great Jeeps. I would love one, I have been in them, at a Dealership. Years back. I know Dodge City. That once was there, a Great place. And the Owner.
Great vid! What exhaust are you using bro?
Thanks Jack! Just a muffler delete
KyleSVT thanks brotha!
Bad ass dude
Thanks!
I don’t know where you found a 9000mile tj that’s awesome though it’s super clean. I found mine with 80k and thought I was lucky.
What axle’s does it have? And any problems running the 35’s
Thanks! D44 rear and nope zero problems
my factory speakers are ass. did you upgrade the other speakers as well or just that woofer? I'm looking at buying that same model.
just the woofer so far
Hi Kyle, Happy Thanksgiving.... A few quick question... did you add the front turn signals yourself, if so, how much did it cost? Also, did you ever get pulled over by the police? And can you see the blinkers blinking from the side? Thank you!
No I bough the kit from metalcloak for $40. nope no problems they are very bright
Was that just a resistor that plugged into your fuse box under the dash
plugged into the top of the steering wheel area on my 2001
Kyle maybe silly question; do you ever take your jeep through the car wash with your soft top? or do self-wash? im wondering if the former would scratch the soft top plastic windows...
In winter I will do touchless washes or self washes. Never go though the scratchmaster 3000 washes 👍
Any problems when turning? Does it hit any components? I want to get those fenders and grab a 35x12.50r17 wheel set up. The only difference is I just lifted my Jeep Tj 2.5 inches. You think it will work with that fender set up?
with the correct backspacing and offset yes
Are you planning on doing any interior mods? Change out seats, bedline the interior, upgrade from stock radio?
I want to do the rest of the speakers and upgrade them. I really dig the look of the seats and they are in such great shape and comfortable. The rest I think im just gonna keep stock I did the older style. Maybe someday get the dash wrapped and stitched in leather or alcantara to make it nicer
Great Video! One question, with what chemicals or products do you clean the soft top windows.
Thanks! I use soap and water. But want to look into the stuff bestop sells for top care
@@KyleSVT Thank you!
np!
Really liking the jeep! Did you buy the fenders bare metal and bed line them? Or did you buy them with the black powder coat?
Yep bedlined them because they were bare steel.
@@KyleSVT mind if i ask what brand or paint you used to bedline?
rustoleum truck bed liner
Great video! What king of camera are you using?
Thanks Bret! GoPro Hero 5 Black
My first Jeep was a red 97 TJ, I gave that up in college, my second Jeep was a 2005 Sahara, which I had to sell when I got divorced. Two weeks ago, the kid and I picked up a 2006 TJ, which we've been exploring the PNW with. We only plan to use the Jeep for exploring the PNW (Olympic Peninsula). We've made a few modes, 4.88 gears, 33" tall tires, front and rear limited slip differentials, next we are going to add a roof tent (for camping), I want to add the setup like you have on the back of your jeep (so parts would be cool for what you have there). I'm on the fence about the soft-top vs hardtop but I agree with your points on soft over top. But sweet TJ, we are really enjoying the Jeep and should post some CZcams videos one of these days. But what was the rear bumper/tire holder setup? :D Thank you.
Very cool! Here are some videos on it

TJ is clean af. Idk about the stock 3.77 gears and 35s thou
Thank you! Stock 3.73 and it's great I have a few driving videos if you want to see how it drives
