I know im Super late but I absolutely love the jeep YJ, my dad's dad had one and gave it to my dad but he didn't take care of it and after a couple of years it stoped working and sat in the drive way for 13 years under a tree, I didn't get to rusty because the tree was big and covered it from the rain. I saw it every day when I was coming back from school and I just loved the shape of it and the headlights. So I asked him if I could have it, he said if I fixed it I could have it so I said yes of course. I fixed it and it's the best car I've ever had, I use it every day and I love it.

I know this video is from a while ago. But I recently purchased a 94 YJ with 115, 000 miles, it was being used to pull a plow for gardens. After replacing 2 injectors, repairing the brakes and cleaning it up doing paint touch ups I am super impressed with it last of the true Jeeps

Good job Tonmy! I laughed when you said "it's just a hoot to drive" and you said hoot exactly like your dad does! LOL like father like son

This is my fave generation wrangler because it's got those cool square headlights and mean look and well built

The keys smacking the stealing column is super annoying

I have a 1993 YJ. Have had it 10 years now and have had no major issues yet. Radiator, exhaust alt and water pump. It is a 2.5, little under powered but holds its own off road. Have done about 5 to 6k in upgrades. It is still a little tank after a total of 200k miles. Love the old ones and not afraid of putting in dents and scratches. Something I would not do on a 40 or 50k Jeep.

Video very nicely done - a nice mix of trail audio, tasteful music and voice. Geared more to the audience than most offroad vids with manic music and camera operators yelling and laughing in the mic.

YJ has one advantage -- it was the Jeep MacGyver drove :)

[Theweekendwheelers]

It's always a great time wheeling with you Tommy! Can't wait to hit some more trails!

"I know people have said they had reliability issues". Really? who said that? "Don't buy a 258 I6", Really? I don't know anyone who doesn't like their 258...

Surprisingly the intern seem to deliver the most comprehensive reviews, the rest of the team should learn something from this guy.

I have a '92 YJ with the works.  On the worst of days, I can still manage a smile on my face as soon as I get in it.  You really have to take advantage of using it off-road several times a month to make it worth it.  It's not a practical daily driver.  But 4 to 6 hours of mud, rocks, or snow every other Saturday and an overnighter in the high country every 6 weeks sure is therapeutic!  For those of you tempted to buy a YJ, I have one small suggestion.  Think about getting a Cherokee (XJ) for longer wheelbase, more room for gear/dogs/passengers, and find one with a Dana44 in the rear.  Whether XJ or YJ, try to buy it stock and build it up so you can do it right and learn as you go.  That's how you learn how things work, how to do your own repairs on the trail and how to make sure you have the spare parts and tools you need.  As others have stated in these comments...air down the tires, disconnect the sway bar, remove the track bars; you will be amazed at the difference in comfort and performance.  Yes, I will have a JK one day but not until my son is old enough to take over the YJ.

I have a 1990 with a 258, it is awesome

I had my Jeep YJ for six years, and I still love it. I don't think I will replace it with any other car. Yes, it's stocky, aggressive, very bumpy and not really fast to accelerate, but I could come up with few ideas that made it better... I installed thinner and longer leaf springs, and replaced the stock oil shocks with modern air shocks, so it drives smoother.. and I installed a turbo charger so it accelerates better

I just bought a stock 1989 YJ. 4.2 inline 6. I love it

That is my all time favorite Jeep! My mom has a soft top 5 speed 4.0L same Sahara package. We love it! Can’t wait for her to pass it along to me!

[RobHeathers]

Awe!! It's Tommy!! That's so precious. HEY!! What do you mean "It's interior is a mid-90s Chrysler...". All the rattles I heard in this video while you were off-road is the same amount of rattles I hear in my 20 year old GMC in the city and the same as my sister's Ford on the highway!! If anything, that Chrysler interior is mopping the floor of my Sierra and my sis's Ranger. GOOD JOB, CHRYSLER!!

I’ve got the same Jeep in manual. Does great.
