[QUOTE="Plastic Fury, post: 442057, member: 21352"] So, a little back story...........this is technically my 2nd YJ that I have owned. The first being a 1991 S 4.0 that although I thought I had researched plenty before diving in, I wound up making an emotional purchase and that was certainly an expensive lesson. After A few years and deciding that '91 wasn't worth putting any more time or money into (lots of well hidden rust and butchered wiring, rigged everything), I began the search for another Jeep. Had to be a YJ as I have wanted one since I was in high school. I spent about 6 months looking and came close on a couple but after my first experience, I was a lot more educated on what to purchase next. I've built other cars in the past but had never owned a Jeep prior to the '91. A Sahara was always my favorite trim but I was willing to go for any decent 4.0 YJ with a manual trans. I finally came across this one that was a 95 and seemed to be in good shape overall. I went to see it and it was in good shape for the areas I was most concerned. The tub and frame had no rust more than a little surface stuff here and there. Both were solid which was amazing considering this had been a mud Jeep for quite some time, I must have sprayed about 20lbs of mud out it when I got it home. The paint is in fair condition and the engine and drivetrain looked like it hadn't had any maintenance in many years. Perfect for what I wanted, a good driver that just needed some attention. I really wanted a manual trans but after looking for so long, I decided to grab this Sahara and just swap out the auto for a manual. Pics of the day I bought it.
