Hey guys!
I'm Seth and I just purchased my first YJ! I'm coming from a 2007 Mini Cooper S (thank God its gone) and a 2004 Toyota 4Runner (ex-wife had me sell that one). For Jeeps, I have previously owned an 84 Cherokee sport, and a 79 DJ-5 but this YJ is really taking the cake! I plan to "restore" it and lightly modify it to try and remain period correct.
