A longtime client/friend asked if I could swing by to checkout replacing a floor in recent lake house purchase. She couldn’t stop laughing as we are walking inside….. Wow

Nice styling on a big car. I would take one in a heartbeat!
I think the local DEVO club just walked past my house.... Whippet...Whippet good.
Either that or it's the "Friends of the knackered-out Greyhound" club.

Had a Sahara edition for a brief period in '89. Wish I didn't sell it. Was given a company ride in '90 and didn't need both. Loved it, miss it.
Might need to find another?

Find a 97-06 TJ like I did. 4.0 with coil spring suspension - SO much more civilized than the YJ (I had a 92, now have an 06).

My son bought a used Jeep YJ (Yuppy Jeep) as his first vehicle about 25 years ago. We tried to talk him out of it, but he had to have it. What a miserable POS that thing was! I told him, if U.S.Army had relied on this model to help win WWII, we would all be speaking German.
We found that if the engine started running rough, it was time to tighten the bolts that held intake/exhaust manifolds onto the engine; in a rainstorm, it would only run on about 3 cylinders; 5th gear (overdrive) was only usable on dead-flat highway with a tail wind.
My son landed a job as a firefighter, and needed more reliable transportation to work, so the Jeep had to go. I lived on a highly travelled highway at the time, so I sat it on my front yard For Sale. It sold right away to a guy in the nearby town. He drove it for years afterward. Go figure!

The YJ wasn't a bad platform, I put probably 200k on mine. The early 4.0 efi manifolds were junk, they did about eighteen redesigns on them mainly due to intakes coming loose and headers cracking. The inline six is a long motor and it actually twists some under load, which caused many of the issues. The best headers are the ones with the accordion flex sections on cylinder 1 and 6.
