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!

Do what I did when favorite daughter #1 smashed the TJ. Go buy your
wife a Liberty, take it to U-Haul and get a hitch put on it, hook up
to a low-boy trailer and haul the carcass off to a barn where you can
tear it down. I have found that after getting our TJ fixed the
Liberty is useful for getting it unstuck:
http://www.hal-pc.org/~jcwelch/stucktj.jpg
Of course you have to put up with what you have to put up with out of
a wife when she gets you unstuck :-)
And yes, that is the same TJ as seen in http://lnc.grwelch.com/jeep/
and it was worth putting back together.

Re: 91 YJ - rolled it... totaled it
I have a one piece front flip front on my CJ7. That is all the fenders
(in and out), hood, grill, etc., all in one piece.
The stock fenders unbolt easily and fast, so it isn't that long of a
job.
The rad needed a free standing frame which I made out of an old bed
frame. All the wires, lights etc. just transferred over and things like
the solenoid and washer bottles went on the side of the engine and
firewall.
I sit on my tire to change my plugs or work on the carb/anything now.
It's nice... :-)
That is just an idea for a fast easy front end fix. If you are anywhere
near Toronto, you could stop buy and see what it is set up like.
You should post where it is. Maybe a Jeeper from here would give you a
place to store/repair it. You don't need a 'garage'. I took a year and
a half doing my frame up rebuild and just put my 12'x12' bug tent I got
at Canadian tire over it. The Jeep fits inside just fine. Mine has 4
flaps so it is weatherproof. I had to knock the snow off a bunch of
times though. ;-)
I have rolled my CJ7 twice. Both times were only a 90 deg side flip,
but it sure is wild eh?
I ended up on the second one with my face looking straight down out of
the plastic door into open water at the end of a beaver pond 3' below
me. The snow had me good enough I didn't turtle right in thankfully.
It was a 'nasty' 8 mile walk in 2' of snow with a pulled groin muscle
starting out at 9 at night back to the camp though.... The camp was
still 20 miles from a phone.....

Re: 91 YJ - rolled it... totaled it
I have a one piece front flip front on my CJ7. That is all the fenders
(in and out), hood, grill, etc., all in one piece.
The stock fenders unbolt easily and fast, so it isn't that long of a
job.
The rad needed a free standing frame which I made out of an old bed
frame. All the wires, lights etc. just transferred over and things like
the solenoid and washer bottles went on the side of the engine and
firewall.
I sit on my tire to change my plugs or work on the carb/anything now.
It's nice... :-)
That is just an idea for a fast easy front end fix. If you are anywhere
near Toronto, you could stop buy and see what it is set up like.
You should post where it is. Maybe a Jeeper from here would give you a
place to store/repair it. You don't need a 'garage'. I took a year and
a half doing my frame up rebuild and just put my 12'x12' bug tent I got
at Canadian tire over it. The Jeep fits inside just fine. Mine has 4
flaps so it is weatherproof. I had to knock the snow off a bunch of
times though. ;-)
I have rolled my CJ7 twice. Both times were only a 90 deg side flip,
but it sure is wild eh?
I ended up on the second one with my face looking straight down out of
the plastic door into open water at the end of a beaver pond 3' below
me. The snow had me good enough I didn't turtle right in thankfully.
It was a 'nasty' 8 mile walk in 2' of snow with a pulled groin muscle
starting out at 9 at night back to the camp though.... The camp was
still 20 miles from a phone.....
