Hey, new to the forum, but had a question that may require people with extensive YJ knowledge...
I have a chance to get a 1993 YJ with very little rust (a rarity because I live in New England). The car has 117,000 miles and brand new tires. (Also an automatic so my wife can drive it.)
It seems like a solid deal but...
At one point it was setup as an offroading rig with aftermarket leafs, a mild lift in the form of larger spring perches, and panhard bars/track bars, and offroad shocks.
When you drive it you notice a bit of drift (possibly because it is sitting on new off-road tires), but liveable as a daily driver on side streets (my normal commute).
I guess I am looking for people's advice on buying former off-roaders...do they tend to have nasty wear and tear? Do the front ends ever realign?
I would never expect anyone to give any specific feedback on this car because every car, and its history, are unique. Still, if you were me would you pull the trigger?
