On the southwest side of Skaneateles Lake.

Congratulations on the JP 17 build! Easily one of the best builds I have seen. Very meticulous!

So an interesting find today at the scrapyard. It's a 1992 Sahara edition. I grabbed the VIN and pulled the build sheet, and it does confirm they came from the factory with 215/75R15 tires, unlike my 1995 that came stock with 225/75R15. Not that it matters, I'm running larger tires now anyway (looks much better). YJ's look goofy with tiny tires.

Here's a link to the full build sheet for those interested. So if you really want to be screen-accurate you had better swap to a 3.07 gear ratio.

Unfortunately this YJ was absolutely destroyed. I grabbed a few small odds and ends, but "rotted" falls tragically short of describing a Jeep that spend 25 years in Syracuse salt.

Lastly to wrap up this update, I'm working on another (non-JP) project for the upcoming Gambler 500 NY event. It's a 1995 BMW 318Ti that I'm turning into a part military part rally car abomination.

Shame about the 92!

BMW looks oddly badass. Needs some knobby tires
