Re: 91 YJ - rolled it... totaled it
I have been looking at differnt parts options online. One thing I need
to do is check the the frame did not buckle or deform at all. If it
did, then I may not take on the challenge of fixing it. If it did not,
then replcing bumpers, body panels, radiator, and roll bars may
actually be doable. I have never done any of these things before, but I
am up to the challenge and would make the comitment if it looks
reasonable. The problem is this... Are there locations, storage
garages/yards that allow you to place a vehical like this to work on
and repair yourself. I have most the tools needed to do this, just no
place to do it. The HOA would not allow the heep in my driveway, and my
garage is out of the question for the couple of months it would take to
do this work. I have been calling around, but no one seems to have any
idea where I should turn. The shops want to park it so you will pay
them to do the work. This would just cost to much. I am thinking of
putting it in a PublicStorage unit for now just to get it out of the
$25 a day tow yard location. This may be a fun challenge of rebuilding
the thing. A big commitment, but it may provide a better apprication
for the Jeep and the fact that we made it through the accident.
Otherwise "1991 Jeep YJ For Sale. Will tow to So. Cal. location at no
charge. Has been rolled 270 degrees, and needs body work. It ran great
right up until it turned. Looking for best offer" :-)
Damn I miss it already. I have been wanting one for a long time, and
not even two months before this. On the way to work this morning I saw
so many Jeeps on the road, bummer. :-(

Re: 91 YJ - rolled it... totaled it
I ran into the same problem when I went to by an '89 YJ for parts awhile
back. Best bet is to place an ad in papers in the area asking if anyone
would rent out a garage for cheap. You'd be surprised how many elderly
people don't mind as long as the noise, especially after 8pm, isn't too
crazy. You usually work out some kind of deal where they are allotted their
naptime, etc, and you can do whatever you want in their garage in between.
My neighbour did this because he has no use for his garage and the neighbour
beside him on the other side rents his garage for storage of his lawn tools
(in return for maintaining his yard). A guy by my buddy's frat house also
rents his garage to home-mechanics for exactly this purpose ...altho he
charges a bit more cuz he has all the tools in there already.
Good luck!

would rent out a garage for cheap. You'd be surprised how many elderly
people don't mind as long as the noise, especially after 8pm, isn't too
crazy. You usually work out some kind of deal where they are allotted their
naptime, etc, and you can do whatever you want in their garage in between.
My neighbour did this because he has no use for his garage and the neighbour
beside him on the other side rents his garage for storage of his lawn tools
(in return for maintaining his yard). A guy by my buddy's frat house also
rents his garage to home-mechanics for exactly this purpose ...altho he
charges a bit more cuz he has all the tools in there already.
Good luck!

back. Best bet is to place an ad in papers in the area asking if anyone
would rent out a garage for cheap. You'd be surprised how many elderly
people don't mind as long as the noise, especially after 8pm, isn't too
crazy. You usually work out some kind of deal where they are allotted their
naptime, etc, and you can do whatever you want in their garage in between.
My neighbour did this because he has no use for his garage and the neighbour
beside him on the other side rents his garage for storage of his lawn tools
(in return for maintaining his yard). A guy by my buddy's frat house also
rents his garage to home-mechanics for exactly this purpose ...altho he
charges a bit more cuz he has all the tools in there already.
