Hi all! New member here, but I've been on the sister TJ site for a few years now with an '06 LJ.
For various reasons, I'm considering getting a YJ as well. (My wife is considering killing me, but I don't expect you to help with that.)
My goal is a fairly low-cost YJ that I can rehabilitate to my tastes. It would be an on-road, city-bound complement to my commuter car. I'd keep stock tires/height or maybe a minimal lift. i don't care if it's a 4 cyl or 6. Obviously I want to avoid rust and major drivetrain issues, but minor mechanical issues don't bother me.
I'm expecting poor quality paint and planning a respray of the body to a color of my choosing. I also really like the tan/spice interior.
My main question is how affordable is it to obtain interior parts in the tan colors. If I find a good specimen with a gray interior, can I reasonably expect to source tan dash, bezels, carpet, console, steering wheel, door panels at earth-bound prices? Or if tan interior is my main goal, should I hold out until I find that?
Thanks!
