I have a 1990 YJ, a 1997 Wrangler Sport TJ, and a 2012 Sahara JKU. It seems when the introduction of the over engineered Wrangler JL began being marketed, the demand for the YJ and the TJ Wranglers greatly increased. I have had complete strangers offer to buy my YJ or my TJ. However, I have had them since new. I have no desire to part with them. I drive all three Wranglers regularly with the 1997 Wrangler TJ being the one I drive the most. They are more than vehicles to me. They are my friends.

I got a 93 with a manual gearbox and inline six last year and I absolutely love tooting around town in it! Such a blast to drive during the summer with the top off, and pretty cheap and easy to work on as well. I love it and don't ever plan to let it go.
My dad had one of these when I was growing up. The YJ has a special place in my heart. Maybe someday I'll be able to pick up one with the 5 speed, straight six, and beautiful green paint.

My family and I love our 89 YJ and our 05 LJ. Similar but different rigs. Trouble free and fun. My 12 year old daughter loves the YJ the most because of the square headlights!!!
Great video, I have a 1991YJ, 4 liter six cylinder. I bought it new, and I still have it. I am now in the process of restoring it, my little project I love it.
I just bought a 95 YJ soft top with half doors and a 5 speed love it
Love my 95 2.5 liter. The simplicity, ease of maintenance and wrenching. Got the JK first year out and what trash, sold it! I miss the coils but that's it. Nice video.
I actually like the yjs but i have a tj and it's going on 20 years old now and I absolutely love it.
I had a '83 CJ7... Started with a clapped out AMC 4 cylinder, swapped it to a 258, did an emissions delete and put on a Holley 2 bbl carb. The trans needed work when I sold it but it was a solid runner. I miss that rig.
I just bought a 90 5spd last week. Love it. Posted a short video of her yesterday.
I search for a 1995 Jeep YJ as I knew about the galvanized bodies and frames for a few years and 4 years ago found a decent one with absolutely no rust. Traded the half doors on day one for full doors, should have kept them and just purchased the full doors. Bought a used hard top and tossed the rag top which had seen better days. Bought and installed front and rear hitches. The hitches were used, but completely functional. Installed new brakes and stainless steel brake lines. Installed all new hoses. Installed LED bulbs for the dash which made a huge difference in gauge visibility. I had the car fully primed and painted and it looks beautiful! I could not locate one with the 4.0 liter engine, however the 2.5 liter is a very good engine and starts every time even when sitting for a few weeks as this car is not my daily driver. Having the 5 speed transmission really helps. Thanks for the video.
Great video Tommy! Thanks for sharing.
my first vehicle was a '91 YJ, bought it in 2017 and still love it.
Excellent video, thanks for the information.
I own a clean '89 YJ and absolutely love it. I remember the YJ coming out in '87 and the hype over the square head lights. That being said I remember a bigger thing happening in '97 when the TJ was introduced. Coil springs! That was really insane. Now look how cherished coil springs are. Now 30 years later I find that my YJ is referred to as the last if the original Jeeps. Just shows how hesitant people ar over change.

Cool video. Love my 90 YJ! I bought it over ten years ago from my neighbor for a little over a grand because he was just letting it rot into the ground.... One of the most reliable vehicles I've ever owned, don't think I'll ever sell it

Been throughly enjoying my 1990 YJ 2.5L for the past 3 years. Have done the usual maintenance and few repairs, but no major stuff and still basically stock condition with over 290,000 miles. Paid $3,700. for it, but it would take considerable more dollars for me to sell as I know now what it's capable of and the condition that it's in now. Just a fun weekend driver for an old guy Lol.
They're rectangular though. /has a '94 YJ Sahara with auto and it is indeed, amazing
Just bought a '95 Sahara 5 spd man. Decent shape. Got some rust i need to take care of. Love it.
I have a 91 yj and I love it! Wish i bought one when it was new.
My old man brought home a rusted out 91 YJ with the 4 banger in it one day, and that was it. I cought the Jeep fever real bad after that.
I have a late 95 Yj. It actually has some TJ features such as rubber windshield stops on the hood as opposed to the loops, and a reinforced stronger tailgate. Best Jeep ever, love my YJ.
Jeep owner here from BC Canada. Black 95 YJ softtop 4.0 inline 6 5spd. Paint has had full paint correction a beefy exhaust cold air intake. A little lift and some 31s. Thing is mint
I love my 92 YJ 4.0 with the AX15 transmission. She has some rust but runs great. Took her for a little ride today.
I have two. One is a MINT 1992 Sahara, original condition, 4.0 auto, with nice original seats. It's a desert Jeep (completely rust-free) that I keep out of the sun. And I have an 89 that I rescued from the junk yard after a roll over. I completely stripped it and welded new body panels on and re-painted it the factory color. She's another beauty. They are insured for $12,000 and $8000.
The square headlights actually match the body shape and look great with the right lift and tires
Thank for the info

I will always prefer my TJ, but a YJ is nice too. Just went past 250k last week. Put about 20k a year on it, 95% on the sand beach pulling people out.
I love my YJ. Thanks for the history behind it. ✌

I have a 1991 Jeep Wrangler Renegade (YJ) Looks like the RED soft top you should in this video except with hard top. I’ve had it sense new,( 29 years old), runs and drives perfectly. Color:(PRD) Radiant Fire, Black hard top Grey seats Manual 5 speed: AX15, A/C Power Steering Rear Differential with Trac-Loc: Dana 35, 355 gears, BFG AT 30x9.50 R15LT All stock, except 3 changes: 1. High end Pioneer stereo, and a 912A569 Eaton Detroit Truetrac Rear Differential, (no more frequent oil changes with additive)
Have a 93 Sahara with the 4.0 and AX15 and I’ll never ever get rid of it, it’s the greatest thing ever. Already driven it to up to Maine and down to Georgia and am taking it to Alaska and California in the near future. Best rig ever.
That’s where it all started for me. I had a1990 “S” model. It was totally basic. Back seat and radio were optional. I paid about $12,500 brand new. They also had a crazy good warranty back then. I think it was a 100,000 miles. I beat on mine and took advantage of the warranty a few times.

She is a sweet machine now!!!
I ordered a 1995, 4.0 Hardtop, air, sound bar and chrome package. Still have it, still looks new. Breaking motor mounts has been it’s only issue.

People have offered me over 20K for it. Pretty good considering my dad bought it brand new for $14k. 😬 Sure is fun to drive though.

Got a 2 1/2 lift on it, new racing radiator, rhino lining, corbeau seats, brand new mt/r tires, w cold air intake, disc brake conversion on rear, power chip, cat back exhaust, w new rims that match custom painted badass front and back bumpers. Bought it for 12k from a firefighter who kept it in perfect shape and extremely well maintained, even said that he was 25k deep into it. If u see this comment please contact me! I would love to talk to an experienced Jeep owner
I bought two YJ’s brand new in 1992 . Still have them both and have been garage kept all their lives . Still bone stock except for their CB radios and K&N air filter panels in the stock air boxes . At this point I think I’m sitting on close to 60 grand . Way way more than what they were worth just five years ago .
I actually bought my YJ for two reasons. One is that these were the Jeep’s of my childhood (up to 95 of course) having seen them in movies and what forth. The other was this video right here. I’d seen a couple for sale out there and I had been wanting a wrangler for a while but they all seemed expensive. I didn’t really want the YJ mainly because the square headlights here ugly and seemed blasphemous. Then I watched this video and got extremely interested in the ugly. Literally with a week or so of watching this video I went out and bought my YJ. Not once despite any issues have I ever regretted buying my 89 affectionately named Marvin. Thank you for inspiring me to take that leap of faith.
I bought a 93 Wrangler Renegade. It is automatic and in great condition. It has just about all the original parts and design. I really like it. It is the first Jeep that I own. My folks have been having jeeps for several years now, so, I know what modern jeeps feel like and be. But I chose the 93 Jeep over the newer designs because it was a rare and cool find. In Del Rio, Texas I bought the Renegade for 8 thousand. Pretty good deal given that it's valued from 8 to 11 thousand. I'd like to keep it for a bit longer but I am most likely going to buy a new vehicle next year after I graduate and work.
I just come across this video while getting ideas for my build. I bought a 95 jy that needs a frame. I already have a southern rust free frame to start with but im not sure on the rest of my build.
I have a totally rust free 1995 YJ Jeep Wrangler 4 cylinder, 5 speed with about 155,000 miles. The 1995 model was the only one with a galvanized body, thus better rust protection. I was thinking of unloading it for some other 4x4, but with air conditioning. Now, I’ll have to reconsidered and just sweat it out. Dang!

I had a 1987 Wrangler sport model (black and tan) and then traded it for a 1991 Wrangler Renegade (red/red). They were completely stock and were my favorite vehicles I ever owned. I still wish I owned one of them. I constantly wonder where they are at now.
This is why im sitting on my 92 even knowing it needs a new engine its my future project ive always looked it the YJ as last of the best same thing with my 92 cherokee once it gets fully retired for the road its going into storage

Should I buy a garage kept only used in the summer 89? Leather interior automatic. It’s also the inline V6
I absolutely love my 92 Yj
'95 YJ owner her, 4cyl 5spd. Getting 18-19 mpg on the highway as long as I keep the speeds around 60mph, with 31" duratracs. Gets a little less when the hardtop is on and there's a passenger with me. Its absolutely dead-reliable. Looked at a few TJ's prior to buying the YJ, all with higher mileage, worse condition, and higher asking price. Owned a nice '99 TJ with the 4L for a few years before selling it in 2006. That one was more comfortable, but 25% worse mpg, and to be honest, the smile factor on the yj is as good or better.
I have a 91, 4.0 and 5 speed, black with the grey interior, 6” lift and 35’s, most fun vehicle ever
I have a 1991 yj renagade 150,000 miles on it. Original paint just has different wheels put on and a 2 inch lift
I think you are correct, I can't find one for sale in Australia 🧐last one I found sold for 11k in 2006.
