Nice ride! Only thing I hate about Jeeps is their so narrow and tall. If you're driving at highway speeds and there's any kind of wind, you've got to fight to keep it going straight. Makes a fun and interesting ride though!

hahaha .. Try Driving a 95 YJ on 37" / No Traction Bars or Sway bars .. that's an interesting ride! WOW .. Nice jeep! Say goodbye to the tibby if you're into offroading at all. Jeeps are obsessions... and the aftermarket support is Insane Just-Empty-Every-Pocket.

I'm also interested in what kind of gas mileage you get. I almost bought one not to long ago for a beater but was to worried about the gas to get it.

YOU COULDNT BE MORE RIGHT!!!!! I can believe the aftermarket stuff available for jeeps...and at such great prices too!!! and I have thought about selling the tibby but cant bare to part with her...i might just park her for a year and drive the jeep.....and HOW THE HELL do you drive a yj on the highway with no sway bars? your begging to roll it over!


And as for mileage so far first tank was 18mpg with a decent amount of highway driving, at 60mph in 6th gear (HELL YEA 6 GEARS FINALLY!!) its at 2100rpm
