I was on Craigslist last year and bought a 94 YJ for $5, 000. I don't know much about jeeps, but it had new tires, chrome wheels, new purple paint, great Bluetooth stereo with soundbar, original seats in great condition, it was so clean. I love it, I knew I would never be able to afford a new one. I've been offered double what I paid for it.
Thanks for a great video, you let me know that I made a wise purchase!!

I bought one of these new in 89 and after driving a CJ7 for years couldn't believe how domesticated is was. The YJ drove so nice and the heater worked lol. Seeing the values I wish I still had it.

‘93 Sahara 4.0 was my first car when I was sixteen in 2004. Still have it and get compliments on it nearly every time we take it out. Always liked the square headlights because it reminded me of an XJ.

I’ve used my 91’ 4.0 as a daily for about 4 years. Other than needing the fuel system cleaned and new fuel pump and filters, it’s been great to drive honestly.

My first Jeep was a 91 Jeep Wrangler. I still have it and it’s gonna stay. I just bought a 2006 rubicon LJ. I sense a expensive hobby coming my way.

My grandpa bought a 94 yj se 4.0 5spd brand new in 93 and for the last 6 years I’ve had it. Best damn jeep ever and I’ll never get rid of it!!

[highlonesome]

Bought my '93...2.5, brand new when I was 20 yrs old. I'm 49 now and have more memories than I could shake a stick at in that thing!!!
Think I'll back it out of the garage today for a snow drive with the kids!
I'll never get rid of it. It's been one of the most durable and dependable vehicles I've ever owned!
And quite honestly....aside from the square headlights, the lines on the YJ are closer to the CJ-7 than the TJ.
I love the looks of the YJ.

[JesseAndMike]

That is a nice jeep! Looks brand new!

[Truck-kun__.....]

Yj jeeps are very reliable. We used them at the farm since I was a child and it's still alive today..

[MrBobert]

Love to se the yj getting love after getting mine 5 years ago

[yankepilot]

My vote is to keep it stock. It’s a survivor, when your done with it you will get your money back.

[jeffreydyanzio]

My first vehicle was a ‘93 white YJ 2.5L. Really enjoyed it.

[kcskoolz]

I bought a 2005 LJ a year and a half ago. I'm in Love with it.
Still wanting to find a nice YJ to go with it.

[wesbarcus]

Great first jeep for youngster, also great for off road new comer, either as stock or as something to modify. Tremendous aftermarket support.

[gamechanger]

I’ve still got a black 92 4.0 that Mom bought new . It has 155k on the odometer and aside from a new head unite is completely stock and in very nice shape. I love it!

[NMEE]

Just bought back my old 93 Renegade yesterday!

My first vehicle purchase was a 1979 CJ7 with a 304 V8 that my brother and I saved up the money for by working the rice farm when I was 16. When we were in college I sold him my half of the ownership and purchased my first solely owned vehicle. It was a 1988 YJ Wrangler with a 258 I6, hard top, and full doors in 2005 when I was 19 years old. An engine overhaul after about the first 7 years, a transmission rebuild after "an incident" with deep water, a completely rebuilt steering system, a transfer case rebuild because it was 30 years old and I figured it was about time, some lockers, a new lift kit, steering column, seats, soft top, half doors, a couple carburetors (the first one wore out), a little rhino lining, a half a dozen other small jobs, a few sets of 33x12.50s, and 16 years later and I still drive that beauty to work almost every day. Most of that work was done by my father and I, and it's built the foundation for the mechanical knowledge I have today, as well as many fond memories. I've cussed that old YJ more times than I can count, but damn I love that Jeep! My brother still has the 79 CJ7 too!

Great post and comments. I bought a 1994 with 4.0 a few years ago and have been tastefully modifying to my liking while addressing known shortcomings like the Dana 35 and two piece front axle. I think they also look much better lifted and am building it for me, not for resale. Wouldn’t be opposed to buying a second one and keeping it stock though, would love a 94 or 95 Sahara.

I'm personally a fan of staying close to stock looking. I'd run some 31/10.50r15 tires on those stock rims and then regear to 4.56 or 4.88 and add OX lockers. It's kind of a "sleeper" . . . not sleeper like fast but sleeper in that it has a great stock look. The oversized tires on stock steel wheels looks great (more of a man's jeep than a boy's jeep) and the regear and the lockers will give you performance that will surprise others on the trails. When you're doing the regear and lockers, I'd also upgrade to chromoly axels and and if it's available for the yj, maybe a rear disc brake conversion. Besides that, I'd leave it looking as stock as possible. It's a great looking Jeep!

Love my 1995 YJ . The last real jeep .Totally unmolested . Just some stainless bling and some OME alloy rimes . It gets more attention then any 4x4 monster Jeep because there are too many of them . Thank you for seeing it my way . lol
