[QUOTE="TRevs, post: 436341, member: 20654"] 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! [/QUOTE]
