[QUOTE="SirDoopYJ, post: 427009, member: 19139"] 1993 Automatic 4.0L Inline 6 with 175,000 miles. It was really tough finding a decentish YJ with a 6cyl. I wish it were a manual, but it was hard being that picky too. Found this Jeep 8 hours away from me for $3500.It was a steal considering I found many others in worse condition for $5,000. The owner who sold it held it for me and facetimed up and down the Jeep before we made the drive. My dad and I towed it back home and have begun working on it. Now I am officially a Jeep owner with my first Jeep. Completed so far: Removed nasty wet carpet, washed and dried out tub. Bought green half doors Fixed broken temperature gauge Bought Bestop soft top w/hardware (still need to attach hardware) Changed out Oil Pressure Switch (It was leaking a good bit of oil, still and oil leak somewhere though) I bought this YJ because I love the square light (I blame Jurassic Park) and I love the simplicity and ruggedness of this vehicle. I also wanted something to fix up and teach me some skills along the way. I found it interesting that this one in particular was originally owned in Hawaii and ended up in Arizona and then Tennessee. There is still a great bit of things to do to this Jeep before I get it to where I want it and I only have so much income flowing at once lol. Planned so far: Get 4x4 working (Vacuum tubes are disconnected and all over the place, currently researching fix) Sand rust from tub and spray Replace passenger side sway bar ( driver side has a quick disconnect while pass doesn't. I would think you would want it on each side) Replace all ball joints May need to replace steering shaft Troubleshoot horn (not working) Replace Tailgate Replace female end driver side seatbelt (Hard to find) Replace seats (Not priority) Repaint (Not priority) New things are popping up everyday. Thanks for reading. I will be updating as I go! May take years.
