Glad you found one. Around here people think trashed non running jeeps are worth 15k or more. Looked at one couple days ago that they wanted 10k said it ran but walked away when I saw the only thing holding the driver side lca mounts to the frame was literally zip ties.

TJ guys are pretty bad here too, wanting ridiculous prices for clapped out and chopped up Jeeps. Got lucky with this one.

@@HardEarnedBacon wasn't the lower control arm, was the mounting brackets zip tied around the frame. I'll deal with blown motor or trans, frame swaps just more then I want to tackle due to space constraints.

You should do DIY high line fenders. Keeps the stock fender look and will really increase that up travel. Love the build very similar to my LJ so far

Congrats on the LJ. They are hard to find and usually a little more than I spend for a project car. Can’t wait to see how it turns out….

I also just bought a nearly mint condition, 100% bone stock LJ in stone white with a gray factory hard top. I too thought my fenders were faded when I saw the pictures, but in person, I noticed that they’re actually grey from the factory. Mine aren’t faded at all and look like they were meant to match the grey color of the hard top. Looking forward to your build!

Actually taking a propane torch to the fenders will restore them to factory looking condition. Nice Jeep.

LJs are the best Js. I like like your YJ but I'd be selling that bad boy and building the LJ. Good luck on. I think I'll subscribe to see what you do with it.

Thanks! The YJ is more fun to drive if I'm being honest. I have plans for both Jeeps though so neither one will be going anywhere.
