Part Premiere: RB2017-Grill and Radiator Support Bracket

Introducing our Grill and Radiator Support Bracket (RB2017) for your YJ Wrangler. Due to the famous and recognizable design of a Jeep Wrangler’s 7 slot grill, debris, salt, and water spray hits the radiator constantly.  If it isn’t maintained, the mixture will rest on its support bracket.  Over time the steel can rust and deteriorate away, potentially dropping your radiator and grill to the ground. Our latest YJ frame solution helps remedy this concern, as well as the added risk of rust polluting your radiator and entire grill.  Our Grill and Radiator Support Bracket adds some much needed rigidity and support to...

Part Premiere: RB2015-Front Spring Mount Section

Introducing our Front Spring Mount Section (RB2015L & RB2015R) for your YJ Wrangler. The YJ Wrangler marks the end of an era in many ways, but perhaps the most notable and revolutionary is Jeep’s transition from leaf spring suspension to the modern coil spring.  This change was made primarily to increase the comfort and quality of driving, but it goes without saying that the technology behind the system was self-destructive.  The constant tug of war between the leaves and the spring mounts, in addition to salt and water spray, literally pulled the vehicle apart over its lifespan. Our Front Spring Mount Section...

Part Premiere: RB2014-Center Frame Skid Plate Mount

Introducing our Center Frame Skid Plate Mount (RB2014L & RB2014R) for your YJ Wrangler. The center frame section of nearly every vehicle is the lowest point.  Additionally, frames of nearly every vehicle come with a series of holes used to realign it in the event of an accident.  This means debris and water inevitably gets trapped inside, resting inside the center frame.  Jeep’s YJ Wrangler is no different and given its age spells deep rooted rust complications. The center frame section on a YJ holds the vehicle’s skid plate, a heavy piece of solid steel, and combined with the rust mentioned earlier,...

YJ Breakdown and Rebuild

YJ Breakdown and Rebuild

The YJ Wrangler holds a niche seat in the Jeep community, usually favored by the older community and some collectors.  It’s an attention grabber and contends with newer and heavily modified models due to its Jeep-like visage but with a more box-like spin, namely its headlights, hood, and taillights.  Moreover, the YJ has some of the most sought after variants that are just as, if not more, rare than its CJ-7  predecessor, such as the Renegade.  But just like us, Jeeps grow old and fall apart.  Especially if they lived in salty northern areas.  So we here at Rust Buster...
