What lies before you here is the last of the "Real" Jeeps. That's my opinion anyway. After the 95 some of the things that defined a Jeep were history such as leaf springs and an interior you could spray out with a hose.

This is shortly after I got it. First things I did were put the Bestop Halftop on, Light bar, Windshield hinge lights, and mounted a high lift on the rear roll bar.

When I got it, it came with a banged up tube bumper. (can't stand them) and crome inserts in the grill. Had to take care of that!

I go someone to fab me a new front bumper on Ebay. It's 3/16" wall and sealed with an air fitting welded on. That'll be the tank for my on board air system. I send it down to the Blast Shop in Kenosha, WI with the light bar to get powder coated and it turned out awesome. The do great work. I also painted the headlight bezels and grill inserts to get rid of the chrome.

In this pic, you can see the CB, Centra Pod speakers, and my trans case shifter made out of a disarmed grenade.

Nice YJ man. 5 stars. As far as the CJ, YJ, TJ, and JK debate goes, the best jeep is the one that a person likes the best. They all have their pro's and con's. We could fill a novel with the arguments.
Anyway check my ride out. (A YJ because I like the simplicity of the driveline, the "hose out" factor, you'll see why. And it doesn't cost your left nut to modify them. Hell my sister just bought an '06 LJ it was $30,000. Imagine what you could do to a $3,000 YJ with another $30,000 bucks.)

real Jeeps have round headlights not square. Just picking. I use to get that all the time when I had my old YJ. Any plans for you YJ? Come check out my Jeep and let me know what you think.

Nice Jeep. Does yours have the 4 banger? Well I will say While CJ's and YJ's are the best for there time. The TJ's are better engineered suspension and frame. Everything else on it is just like A CJ and YJ. Coil Springs provide a better ride and articulation and by the time you are 40 are 50 you can still feel your ass and legs. Coil springs never wear out. Leaf springs sag over the years and the bushings wear out. I had a old YJ I put 235,000 on her it was a damn good Jeep though just loud and the floorboard leaked like a sieve. You really coundn't have nothing nice in them as far as inside electronics go. I do like you Jeep though. I think for something to beat around in it is perfect. But for daily driving and just all out The TJ's the better way to go. But you are right the new 2007 Jeeps are horrible 3.8L soccer mom van just don't cut it for me. I think Jeep lost there way in 2007. Hopefully they will turn it around.
