    2nd try with potential YJ purchase

    So I'm half of a mind to get the best I4 YJ I can find for cheap (not sure I like this YJ bc its carbureted and its been modified), run with it until the engine/transmission cuts out then replace the engine/transmission with something better (I6 or diesel). Is this an idea that has merit?

    WTB: YJ in decent shape

    Looking for a YJ (preferably post '91) either in stick or automatic in decent shape. Located in VA so anything that will pass with minimal work would be ideal. This would be my daily driver. Doesn't matter where it is as I will fly out and drive it back. Budget is 6k but can push it up to 8k if...

    Thoughts and opinions on potential 91 YJ purchase

    Whats also concerning to me is how high the shackles are on that YJ. Seems to me its very top heavy and prone to tipping over. Is there any merit to my concerns?

    Thoughts and opinions on potential 91 YJ purchase

    would grinding the rust out then applying a new coat be a viable option, or is it too late for that? How much do frame swaps cost?

    Thoughts and opinions on potential 91 YJ purchase

    Is it that rusty? The frame has coating which prevents contact with air. I thought that'd be solid protection against further rust. And is the frame that bad to "avoid like the plague"?

    Thoughts and opinions on potential 91 YJ purchase

    What is the consensus of the 4 cylinder automatic for the YJ? Found a '95 with a nearly perfect frame and paint and looking and might go with that if the '91 falls through or isn't what I'm looking for.

    Thoughts and opinions on potential 91 YJ purchase

    I wanna share a few pics to see what y'all have to say about it. There are pics of the interior I cannot seem to download but seats are in good condition. The green doors shown do not go with it, there are tan/sand doors that are going with it. If I can figure out how to download interior pics I...

    Thoughts and opinions on potential 91 YJ purchase

    IF it has been sitting for a long time (seems like it goes for a monthly drive at least), how long is long enough to get concerned? I will be giving it a test drive before I make up my mind. How long of a drive should it be/ what should I do on the drive (other than go through all the gears...
