JeepcoMJ Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 where's the rest of the bed? looks like every other YJ that I see, except someone "custom put" a scrambler hard top on it. YJ are the abortion wrangler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOrnbrod Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 She is clean, but really? $19k is a bit outrageous. Agree. But that's B/J. And with all the fees/taxes they charge, the seller might pocket $12K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krustyballer16 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 The tan interior and grey door panels would bug the crap out of me. For $19000 or even $12000 they cpuldnt have found tan panels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comanche County Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 YJs are great Jeeps, simple to work on, no airbags, easy electrics, comfortable leafs compared to CJs, external slave AX15s for the most part. Unfortunately this one is just a catalog build. Some rapper or investment broker will probably buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankTheDog Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Also has a shackle lift with 2" springs. Its a 90 so it's a carbed 4.2. Internal slave AX15. No rollbar. The only good thing about it is maybe it only has 28k on it and a beautiful paint job. You can buy a decent top and bulkhead for under a grand. That's a $8,000 dollar Jeep at best, but only if they threw in some 4.10 axles from a four banger. With 3.07's that thing would really suck.

Ronnie Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 This thread makes me sad. To witness the bashing of anything Jeep, just ain't right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 I don't think most are bashing the Jeep per se. They are bashing the price it fetched based on the quality of the build. I didn't think it was worth $19K either. But whoever bought it, I hope they enjoy it. On the other hand, there are those here who bash anything and everything that comes up. The natural haters who love to hear themselves spouting negativity. Just ignore them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The natural haters who love to hear themselves spouting negativity. Just ignore them. Pot, meet Kettle. Don't assume I was being negative to be negative. YJ's just aren't a good...well, anything. Everything about them (as far as wranglers go) is inferior to TJ+ wranglers, as well as CJ-. headlights are all off, suspension rides...well, like a brick. Understandably so, and yes they're actually pretty capable vehicles, but comparing the frames alone to CJ or TJ frames is enough to ward most off from one. There is a time and a place for a YJ. Barrett Jackson sure as shootin isn't one of them. That thing sold for over twice it's value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrawombat Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 This thread makes me sad. To witness the bashing of anything Jeep, just ain't right. I guess we could always just bury our heads in the sand and pretend like all Jeep's are worth owning... Or we could actually point out the glaringly obvious flaws that our beloved manufacturer has made so we don't end up like every other fanboi car/truck club.

GirsMJ86 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I agree on those last two, the newer style Liberty, and the new Cherokee. But I gotta say I rather like the newer style Compass, if I were looking for a cruising around town only vehicle I'd buy one (which I just might be doing in a few months). The original Compass though was not only a pure street Jeep, it was also pure ugly too. The newer one at least has some off road ability and has quite a bit of off road focused Mopar accessories like skid plates and such. Let's face it though, the company has had to change with the times eventually. At least they keep the Wrangler around and have not made it some aerodynamic monstrosity like the Jeepster concept or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexia Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I think people forget that the original Jeep was produced after the wars by a company that used to exclusively make only road cars some of those road cars being under the Jeep name. If you are complaining about Chrysler making Jeeps that do not focus on off road first then you are over fifty years late to the argument. As for that YJ, it is over priced. There are plenty more of them out there in good used condition than some even more recent Jeep models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankTheDog Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 This thread makes me sad. To witness the bashing of anything Jeep, just ain't right. I was not bashing the Jeep, the Jeep is ok it just isn't worth anything close to that price in my opinion. Somebody has more money than sense. But if they are happy with it and it's what they want, hey, good for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comanche County Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I think its a cool Jeep, wasn't trying to bash it... I just can't afford it. Hope the new owner has a lot of fun with it because that's what Jeeps are all about. Also, keep in mind, its a lot cheaper than a new Rubi. Not a bad deal from that point of view.

JeepcoMJ Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 As I personally own zero comanches at this point, and am driving an 02 liberty, same as my dad (though his is on 32" MT's), and having sold one of 30-something diesel MJ's, there isn't much room for me to point fingers at newer jeeps. For what they are, they are all great vehicles. The YJ simply holds no special place in my heart because of the front end design, and obvious rust-belt related frame design flaws. All Wrangler body styles up to the JK's ride like bricks. oh well. But coil sprung is much better, and pre-YJ is just cool for the fact that they were ultimately the same/similar body design for running on 30 years. Having driven Patriots, Rallye's, Commanders, Compass, I can say that they all drive/handle great. They are not, as their owners think, capable off-road vehicles. The MOAB edition and Trail Rated editions are a joke, almost as much as the price tag vs. capability of TJ+ rubicons....pricewise, we can (and would prefer) to build one indestructable and extremely capable xj or mj. I would daily drive the new "cherokee" if someone gave one to me, but it would always be referred to as "the car" as it is, in no way, shape, or form, a Jeep.

Darren Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 What a stupid Jeep. I was excited to see a long-wheelbase YJ but its just a stock YJ with a halfcab top. Booo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankTheDog Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Probably not as much as the inside of the top being red. All my hardtops were white inside. YJ,CJ and TJ. All factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
