Man my 91 yj has no rust spots anywhere. I freakin love this thing. A little money in it and it goes a long way. It’s outlasted 3 other cars in our driveway and has been the only reliable vehicle
You probably shouldn’t own a 30 year old car if this is what you’re upset about, yet alone a jeep 😅. They’re a fun toy for projects, not comfort and reliability.
Good looking Jeep. It is what it is and it’s not for everybody. I bought my fifth one for $3000 and drive it everyday 40 miles getting 20mpg. Got 250k miles on it and I will probably get another 50k before an engine rebuild that will take two weeks because it’s easy and cheap to work on.
thanks for this info, im looking into getting a 94 yj with 97 k miles,,, surface rust below... in california. its rusty for either being in Tudor bc its at the beach parked as the owner says..
Most of the things he mentioned that he hates are things that I like it's all just preferences. I watch this video once in a while to remind myself that people can hate things that I love, and it doesn't matter 1 bit
Lol, that’s the main reason why this was always my favorite Wrangler. It’s funny how non-Jeep people like myself like the Jeep that Jeep people hate the most.
@@tedneb3459brother, the square headlights are more rugged. You can even get after market square led lights that have cool looks. I think it’s the coolest looking jeep they’ve made
I spent $4,900 on my 1994 YJ. I lifted it, put lunchbox lockers in it and its on 33s. Its been through the Rubicon several times, Slick Rock, Dear Valley and Coyote lake two times and still rolling
Remove the track bars, and throw them away. Loosen all the spring bolts and squirt some grease in there. Retorque the spring bolts to 40ftlb and take it for a spin. Guaranteed to ride better. Zero dollars.
You don't need a reason to buy a Jeep. But apparently you need a lot of 'em to NOT buy one. For myself, I just couldn't get past the fact that I just wanted a Jeep. That was in 1987 when I bought my first Jeep--a 1986 CJ-7 Renegade. I have since owned a YJ, an 02 TJ and currently an 06 TJ. I just love 'em and that's all there is to it.
Sell it can tell you don't know nothing about jeeps .I've owned 13 of them all good rigs. Yes have the best springs .it's like Harleys. You love them or hate them.get out of the jeep business.
Grant it, leaf springs are rough especially on a short wheel base. Older Jeeps require a lot of tlc, which only Jeep folks are willing to do because of their amazing pros they offer. I have an '05 TJ Rocky Mtn with the 4.0 I6. Of course, the coil springs are light years ahead on the TJ and even better with Fox 2.0 Shox and their steering stabilizer. I kept it close to stock with a modest 2" lift and 32" ko2's. However, it can still be a rough ride for some. I love my TJ, but I'll admit it's definitely a love hate relationship. But there's nothing else that you can take on the beach with the doors and top off for the most enjoyable experience in any other vehicle. Beach wheelin, surf fishing and beach camping with the wife and kids in a Willys MB, CJ-7, CJ-8 Scrambler, YJ or TJ is about as good as it gets in the summer! This is why my TJ will always be my favorite vehicle! Life is too short, count your blessings, not your problems. Be well. 😎🎣🏖🌊🏝
I can't imagine complaining about the ride on 3-4 leaf springs. My restored '60 CJ5 came from the factory with 11 and 14 leaf springs on the front and rear. Not a vehicle for hemorrhoid sufferers.
I hate a Wrangler. It's a 1990 2.5. I've removed, refurbished, replaced, poked and prodded nearly every component under the hood and it still won't run correctly
I had an AMC model wrangler 1987. It drove better than some of the current models and had more room in drivers seat. AMCs quality was better. And mine had good power . Chrysler ruined the Jeep and now the Italians own it forget any Chrysler products
I have a yj jeep. He doesn't know what he's talking about. The 4.0 is as solid as they come. I won't get stuck anywhere. I just put a new engine in mine. My last one went 315k. I go everywhere in my jeep. It's easy to work on and here is the best thing. There is so much after market you can create anything you want. Jack it up , big tires, get a turbo kit or golen engine. My is quickly becoming bullet proof.
I have owned my '91 YJ for around 25 years. It is simple and cheap to own & maintain. If yours is leaking oil, the 4.0L in a YJ is one of the easiest engines to change seals & gaskets on. Mine doesn't leak any oil because I maintain it. Just like any other vehicle. If you want yours to have better road manners, go back to stock wheels and lose that body lift. Mine rode fine with its original suspension and 30x9.50R15 BFG mud terrains. Just make sure all bushings, ball joints, and the tie rod ends are in good shape. Mine rides slightly better than stock now with a Rubicon Express 2.5" lift and either the 31x10.50R15 BFG Mud Terrains on stock TJ 15x8" (Ravine) wheels. As well as 245/75R16 A/T's on stock TJ 16x8 (Moab) wheels. The track bars are removed front and rear. The front sway bar has quick disconnects. Currently running 3.55 gears with a XJ Dana-44 rear and a non-CAD Dana-30 front. If you aren't liking your YJ, you would have no issues selling it to buy something you do enjoy. Drive what you like. I like my YJ.
Those are the greatest attributes of the YJ! That was like watching a YJ commercial from 1987! Great job! I have an 87 YJ, why? Because its the first year of the Legendary Jeep YJ, before they started making "upgrades", like stronger axles, fuel injection, and heaters that work.
I have an '88 YJ. The heater is the best thing ever IMO. Saved my ass on many snowy Sierra mornings. BTW everything this dude is bitching about can be said about CJ's. A YJ is just a better road handling CJ IMO lol...An old jeep is like having a basket of problems wrapped in a bow. Everyday you get to open a new problem, but that's also the charm.
Wranglers are the Harley Davidsons of the auto world. As soon as you buy one, you start buying stupid stuff for it. You have to buy performance parts and replacement parts becuse the stock parts are garbage. And after you spend more on tarting it up than you paid for it, you drive it only to be seen...driving it.
I wouldn't go looking for a jeep expecting something quiet & comfy with a lot of interior amenities, plus the issues you have with the engine ticking and leaking oil are due to a lack of maintenance, and you can't blame the car for that. The rust issues are with literally any car from the 80s/90s. My 91 YJ drove great when I had it on stock springs and suspension, very nice go-kart feel. Plus, if you don't like the soft top, maybe get a hard top.
I’ve owned 2 Jeeps one with a 2.5 & the other with a 4.0. Both were absolutely 💯 bulletproof! Not sure where you gathered your information, but these rigs are like Apple Pie & Baseball true ‘Americana’. Take it to a Drive In Movie on a summer night with no top or doors & you’ll be living the American Dream.
@@brokenpoortradingco Lol, it appears you were right about a lot of the Jeeple seeing as many in this comment section are genuinely pissed. That means you need to make more videos chitting on cars people love because you’re good at it. Good work.
I was an XJ guy for years and never did I ever get waves from wranglers its kinda lame even tho my XJ was built waaaay more than most of the wranglers i drove past. I have a YJ now and ill wave to anyone that has a gnarly looking lifted offroad vehicle. Yes Toyotas too. The jeep wave is really only the wrangler wave.
Jeeps are great....well 2006 and older Jeeps are great ( anything after 06 looks like crap, and are more of a luxury SUV). But itas about the heritage of the jeep with it military roots. They are perfectly designed go anywhere vehicles. For what you get stock out the box they are quite capable in lots of different terrian. YJ's being some of my favorite ( have also had a 52 M38 and 05 TJ Rubi).
I had a super nice built 99 XJ I would always get waves from all the wrangler guys that was back in 2014-2018, fast forward to 2023 I have a 97 now just not as built yet and nobody waves anymore
I've had a 2.5L 5-Speed 1995 Rio Grande edition since 2007 currently has 306,000 miles, has never broken down, maintenance is easy a/c does not work. I don't take the best care of it and would take it on rough trails on weekends. The ride quality is rough and loud, not a lot of power. I'm sure it's the best car I will ever own.
Bought my 88 yj 22 yes ago for 3000. Probably have another 10000 it. It's like an ever changing idea that you can always do something different with. It keeps your brain busy as you grow old. That part is priceless.
Good satire! Your video makes me realize why I bought my Jeeps. (I currently have 3 different versions of the Wrangler YJ, TJ, JK(4 door), and I love them). Wranglers are not perfect, they're just fun, agreed, not long trips. The early Wranglers are easy to work on with lots of "aftermarket" parts available ( a good thing since the Jeep dealers don't have a clue on the older model Jeeps. The Dealers don't carry parts after 20 years of a model release). I do all my own maintenance and minor repairs. I also have a Toyota Tacoma that is a smooth ride and well engineered vehicle, the Toyota is great for long trips. The Jeep is a fair weather knockaround and short errands vehicle. Carry On, Look forward to seeing you repair your Jeep YJ or might want to get a TJ and compare and contrast the two.
I believe 100% this video is satire. I love it… but I still love my YJ more… and also, most new Jeep owners down wave. I don’t like the duck either. Haha… keep working on that YJ!
This guy is SO right! And while on the topic...only stupid people buy a dirt bike when there are honda gold wings, only morons buy a corvette with its harsh ride when there are cadillacs, only idiots would ride a pedal road bike with that small hard seat when uber is so much more comfy, I could go on but why? This guy doesn't get it, but he reminded me of why I love my rough, loud, and slow 89 YJ so much!
It's all preference. The things you don't like is exactly what i like. I have the 2.5. i road trip it on the interstate regularly no problem. Slow but reliable. Well I'll take reliable over fast any day. Comfort i bought a rough country 2.5 inch lift and removed the track bars. Not a Cadillac but much more comfortable. It does drive like a tractor and shift like a dump truck but it is always ready to take whatever i throw at it. The square headlights can be purchased anywhere so i really love the availability. I have full doors not half ones so that's nice. It's extremely easy to work on and find parts for. I'm not sure what you expected from a vehicle that last rolled off the assembly line in 1995. I hope this is satire because you have a pretty nice example of an old yj. The ducks were started during COVID lockdowns. Just a way to make others smile in a rough time.
funny, ive got 2 of these, love the bare bones aspect, i hose mine out at the end of the day no worries about shorting stuff out. Yours is pretty noisy sounds like it needs new lifters.
The square headlights are fine. The sway bars are useless. You took your life into your own hands letting go of the steering wheel. My BDS suspension lift rides 1,000 times better than stock. Overall good video.
@@brokenpoortradingco I meant track bars. Also I used boomerang shackles installed correctly and 1" poly body pucks and it doesn't ride like a chariot. I have a buddy with a rough country and 2" plastic puck body lift and that thing is utterly terrible.
Great video so true only 85 and older jeep owners can understand yes 85 even though amc didn't quit till 86 it had too much emission upgrade but yes I know what your talking about we always called the wranglers barbie jeeps
Well, I like my 92 Wrangler that I have owned and driven pretty much daily since 97. If I wanted comfort and flashy I would have bought a nice car. Well, thanks for your opinion, that's 6:06 I will never get back.
The middle finger thumbnail had me cracking up, because even the most diehard Jeeper has done or at least thought about giving his Jeep the traffic finger at one time or another. 😆
These are hands down the easiest vehicles ever to work takes an hour to do the timing chain take 2 hours to do a head gasket the exhaust manifold is 3 bolts 😂 even the new jeeps are trash they still havent figured out the steering.
Ive got a 2012 JKU, 1992 YJ, 1950 CJ-3A... My favorite is the YJ with 2.5 lift on 31's with the 2.5L. It's a true rusty but trusty with 200k+ with no leaks. It is a jeep thing and the only thing I picture is this cucklemuffin getting into some honduh hybrid or some shyt 😅 Little hint for YJ's... remove the trac bars.
Wow, a 6 minute whine-fest. Literally no point to it. I was hoping to see something in this with value but it was all just personal whining with no substance. Its ok you dont like them. Sell it to someone who would appreciate it and go buy a Prius or Civic or something just as appalling. Trust me, someone would be proud and elated to have that Jeep.
So I had CJ7 when I was 20 years old. There’s was things I didn’t like about it but 30 years later it’s the most missed vehicle I owned. So I bought another one at 49. Guess it’s like people who like motorcycles. I don’t know. The duck 🦆 thing is strange I think. I like the 304 V8 also. Do some modifications and make it your own. That’s also what i love about them.
I mean, he's not wrong on some of his points. But he's also like 300lbs. At 170lbs mine is tight and uncomfortable if I'm wearing heavy clothes, which you have to cuz it's freezing. But they do sound like a tractor and they do rust everywhere. Some of it is personal preference, but literally everything he says is true 😂 I love my YJ, but you need a kidney belt and everything else. Explanation- People with Harley's completely turned me off ever owning one. I'd be horrified to be lumped in with anyone who needs to attach a megaphone to a bike and order their vest and merit badges from Easy Rider, all so they can rev their engine for everyone to know they're toxicly insecure. At 2 am. On a Thursday. Whether they live 2 streets away and redline 1st the whole time, or winding out 5th gear through a 25mph village 🤷🏻♀️ Dude's got hundreds of comments from butt hurt fanboys cuz it's not his thing. The forums are all toxic insecure masculinity too. For as big a bunch of homophobes as most Jeep guys I meet are, you'd think they wouldn't ejaculate their toxic masculinity everywhere, but how else can they feel secure in their awesomeness without shitting on everyone? Can't be better than everyone until you put them down enough to lower the bar I guess
How exactly is masculinity, toxic? LMFAO...... Interview with a convicted child molester...."If the father is a threat, I stay away" The same discusting feminists who want to talk to your children about sex without your knowledge, are the same idiots who say that everything that makes you a threat, are manifestations of toxic masculinity. You leftists are groomers. 😂
Pretty Funny, he is right about a lot of it. He shoud buy an old Samaurai then he would love his YJ. Should save his money and buy a new Bronco for $65,000.
Indeed. Some people like modern stuff filled with electronics ;I do not, I like the old YJ with rectangular head lights which has taken me anywhere I wanted ..
My Yj with 135,000 miles runs perfect, never failed once. Love the square lights, upgraded and they shine better than any of my former jeeps with round eyes. Sparce interior is perfect. Easy to work on. Add some boomer rang shackles and remove the sway bars and it will run smooth. You sound like a guy who should not own a real jeep!
Go buy a Bronco with lumbar seats and a screen full of apps because you know nothing about Jeeps. I have had several and ran them to about 190,000 mile before issues.
Great Jeep, but not for guy without balls
If you don’t like it I will take it off your hands to add to my collection
Same here I’ll take it and add it to our four jeeps including our Willys collection
Man my 91 yj has no rust spots anywhere. I freakin love this thing. A little money in it and it goes a long way. It’s outlasted 3 other cars in our driveway and has been the only reliable vehicle
What's amazed me the most is that you talk about the flaws and yet you own one😅
Just get rid of it is that simple
He disappointed his Dad. Gotta let him rolll LOL
Buddy...I am not a Jeep guy and this video is 90% bitching about things that 99% of cars of that age didn't have.... Heated steering wheel!?!?

Well, they make me sick, so you're half right. Rectangular lights on a Jeep? Pure wuss.

I believe 100% this video is satire. I love it… but I still love my YJ more… and also, most new Jeep owners down wave. I don’t like the duck either. Haha… keep working on that YJ!
He doesn't realize that he's getting old and breaking down worse than that jeep. I have one, and I will gladly take yours out of your hands.
This guy is SO right! And while on the topic...only stupid people buy a dirt bike when there are honda gold wings, only morons buy a corvette with its harsh ride when there are cadillacs, only idiots would ride a pedal road bike with that small hard seat when uber is so much more comfy, I could go on but why? This guy doesn't get it, but he reminded me of why I love my rough, loud, and slow 89 YJ so much!
“I hate this thing! It’s the worst!” Like 4 minutes later…. “WEEEEEE!” Hahah that says it all bud!
I remember back in the 90s these jeeps used to only cost around 13 or 14k new
Wow
Plug 13k into an inflation calculator, and you get about $30,000, which is around what a base model Wrangler costs today.
It's all preference. The things you don't like is exactly what i like. I have the 2.5. i road trip it on the interstate regularly no problem. Slow but reliable. Well I'll take reliable over fast any day. Comfort i bought a rough country 2.5 inch lift and removed the track bars. Not a Cadillac but much more comfortable. It does drive like a tractor and shift like a dump truck but it is always ready to take whatever i throw at it. The square headlights can be purchased anywhere so i really love the availability. I have full doors not half ones so that's nice. It's extremely easy to work on and find parts for. I'm not sure what you expected from a vehicle that last rolled off the assembly line in 1995. I hope this is satire because you have a pretty nice example of an old yj. The ducks were started during COVID lockdowns. Just a way to make others smile in a rough time.
Exactly!!! All the reasons to hate a Jeep is why I love mine!!! Especially because it doesn't have a heated steering wheel! 😂
funny, ive got 2 of these, love the bare bones aspect, i hose mine out at the end of the day no worries about shorting stuff out.
Yours is pretty noisy sounds like it needs new lifters.
He was yappin up until 4:33. Then he started to COOK
You should've mentioned the body lift...that's pretty stupid too 😀
this has to be a joke video, complaining a jeep from the 80s doesnt have a heated steering wheel
The square headlights are fine. The sway bars are useless. You took your life into your own hands letting go of the steering wheel. My BDS suspension lift rides 1,000 times better than stock. Overall good video.
Thanks.. ya I’m sure anything would be an improvement on the suspension lol
@@brokenpoortradingco I meant track bars. Also I used boomerang shackles installed correctly and 1" poly body pucks and it doesn't ride like a chariot. I have a buddy with a rough country and 2" plastic puck body lift and that thing is utterly terrible.
@@millerguy79what poly pucks did you get?
@@zacharywills6679 I don't remember.
Dude said it doesn’t have a heated steering wheel 🤦🏼♂️ no shit
Great video so true only 85 and older jeep owners can understand yes 85 even though amc didn't quit till 86 it had too much emission upgrade but yes I know what your talking about we always called the wranglers barbie jeeps
Well, I like my 92 Wrangler that I have owned and driven pretty much daily since 97. If I wanted comfort and flashy I would have bought a nice car. Well, thanks for your opinion, that's 6:06 I will never get back.
Dude that was one of the funniest videos I’ve seen in a long time! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love my Jeeps but that’s a great video man! Haha!
The middle finger thumbnail had me cracking up, because even the most diehard Jeeper has done or at least thought about giving his Jeep the traffic finger at one time or another. 😆
I laughed so these guys are funny
He probably lost a bet and his Toyota buddies made him do this 😂😂😂😂
If you still have it i would like to buy it from you as well 😂
Typical Subaru lover.
You do not need a Jeep!
I love mine!!! Last of the real jeep in my opinion regardless they shape of headlights!
everything he said is true, but its also true that there very easily modified into very capable rigs
I'll buy it if you hate it
The 4.2L is a piece of crap? WTF? You obviously have done absolutely zero research
We skip that year Yuppie Jeep
These are hands down the easiest vehicles ever to work takes an hour to do the timing chain take 2 hours to do a head gasket the exhaust manifold is 3 bolts 😂 even the new jeeps are trash they still havent figured out the steering.
thats a high end interior. But my panel works
Ive got a 2012 JKU, 1992 YJ, 1950 CJ-3A...
My favorite is the YJ with 2.5 lift on 31's with the 2.5L. It's a true rusty but trusty with 200k+ with no leaks.
It is a jeep thing and the only thing I picture is this cucklemuffin getting into some honduh hybrid or some shyt 😅
Little hint for YJ's... remove the trac bars.
This is the worst car I've driven so far. But I don't consider it as a car. It's a toy. .
Wow, a 6 minute whine-fest. Literally no point to it. I was hoping to see something in this with value but it was all just personal whining with no substance. Its ok you dont like them. Sell it to someone who would appreciate it and go buy a Prius or Civic or something just as appalling. Trust me, someone would be proud and elated to have that Jeep.
i agree
Are you human? Just asking for a friend? Can you imagine having dinner with this guy?
I have a 90, 94, and a 95 and hate them all !
Hey there I got one of those they are so so awesome
So I had CJ7 when I was 20 years old. There’s was things I didn’t like about it but 30 years later it’s the most missed vehicle I owned. So I bought another one at 49. Guess it’s like people who like motorcycles. I don’t know. The duck 🦆 thing is strange I think. I like the 304 V8 also. Do some modifications and make it your own. That’s also what i love about them.
Go buy a Prius
Sounds like you need a Rav 4
I have a JL and a YJ. I love my old YJ
My Jeep don't have rust. You must live up north.
I have a YJ with full doors.
I mean, he's not wrong on some of his points. But he's also like 300lbs. At 170lbs mine is tight and uncomfortable if I'm wearing heavy clothes, which you have to cuz it's freezing. But they do sound like a tractor and they do rust everywhere. Some of it is personal preference, but literally everything he says is true 😂 I love my YJ, but you need a kidney belt and everything else.
Explanation- People with Harley's completely turned me off ever owning one. I'd be horrified to be lumped in with anyone who needs to attach a megaphone to a bike and order their vest and merit badges from Easy Rider, all so they can rev their engine for everyone to know they're toxicly insecure. At 2 am. On a Thursday. Whether they live 2 streets away and redline 1st the whole time, or winding out 5th gear through a 25mph village 🤷🏻♀️ Dude's got hundreds of comments from butt hurt fanboys cuz it's not his thing. The forums are all toxic insecure masculinity too. For as big a bunch of homophobes as most Jeep guys I meet are, you'd think they wouldn't ejaculate their toxic masculinity everywhere, but how else can they feel secure in their awesomeness without shitting on everyone? Can't be better than everyone until you put them down enough to lower the bar I guess
How exactly is masculinity, toxic? LMFAO......
Interview with a convicted child molester...."If the father is a threat, I stay away"
The same discusting feminists who want to talk to your children about sex without your knowledge, are the same idiots who say that everything that makes you a threat, are manifestations of toxic masculinity.
You leftists are groomers. 😂
Want some cheese for that whine?
Pretty Funny, he is right about a lot of it. He shoud buy an old Samaurai then he would love his YJ.
Should save his money and buy a new Bronco for $65,000.
Indeed. Some people like modern stuff filled with electronics ;I do not, I like the old YJ with rectangular head lights which has taken me anywhere I wanted ..
My Yj with 135,000 miles runs perfect, never failed once. Love the square lights, upgraded and they shine better than any of my former jeeps with round eyes. Sparce interior is perfect. Easy to work on. Add some boomer rang shackles and remove the sway bars and it will run smooth. You sound like a guy who should not own a real jeep!
Go buy a Bronco with lumbar seats and a screen full of apps because you know nothing about Jeeps. I have had several and ran them to about 190,000 mile before issues.
