[QUOTE="zebraranger, post: 435114, member: 20106"] Yep, its hard to think with your head and not think with your heart with these YJ's. Once you have one, you're hooked. My YJ is not my primary vehicle either. I pretty much use mine as a weekend driver too (I'm about 45 minutes from the beach). But I enjoy driving it so much, I'm always looking for other excuses to drive it during the week on errands and such. As far as what to look for. As long as its been maintained, these motors are known to run practically forever. If neglected, they can be problematic. Areas to look at would be the frame for rust, especially the passenger right rear portion of the frame. Also check the area where the body mounts to the frame (Tub Mounts), and the transmission skid plate area where it mounts to the frame. Drive it, and good luck. [/QUOTE]
