Project YJ

Welcome to Project YJ

This is archived content. Project YJ is now complete.

Project YJ began as an innocent 1991 Jeep YJ with the Islander trim package. I bought it used in 1993 and throughout the ensuing years, it has continually evolved to match my growing interest and abilities in the world of fourwheeling. Project YJ was never intended to be a trail-only vehicle. Since its purchase it has primarily served as my daily transportation. The challenge in this project will be to continue to hone its offroad capabilities while still retaining those characteristics necessary for a daily driver.
