I'm the happy original owner of a 1995 YJ. It's got over 289,000 miles. The engine has never been opened. The clutch and tranny were replaced just last year. It's been a terrific vehicle. It's my daily driver and my trail rider. It's fun to drive on or off pavement. I love my Jeep!

My 95 was the best Jeep I ever had. I had a 90, 92, 95, 97 TJ. Although the TJ redesign was very cool and much nicer vehicle, the 95 was far better then the 90 and 92 and I could see it being more reliable then my somewhat unreliable 90 and 92. Congrats on having such a good Jeep for so long. Good for you.

@MixerVM

Actually, very few floor/console shifters are actually direct to the transmission. Most of them use cables or servomotors to shift the transmission. In any case, yes a column linkage is more complex, but it's been used for decades in all sorts of vehicles and not many people have complained of them breaking. They've disappeared largely for the reason that snappy452 said - people see column shifters as outdated. Plus the fact that manufacturers can save money on linkages, like you said.

I heavily disagree with this statement. Center shifters give the feel of a manual, and are also super convenient. And if your car is equipped with a sport mode other than just a simple drive mode, it makes shifting through the gears on your own an absolute blast. And they are super easy to maintain and repair too. Column shifters belong on luxo boats, where you dont do much shifting at all. And column shift is an absolute bear to fix and work with. Overall, center console shifters are just so much better. And besides, what else are you going to use that extra space for in the center?

The YJ (despite being hated for it's square headlights) has a lot going for it. Simple, effective, everything you need, nothing you don't. I still maintain that the '87-'95 dashboard was the best looking of them all. TJ's & JK's are nice, but lack the old-school character and charm of their predecessors IMO. The YJ was the last of it's kind, and I'd love to own one someday.

Jeep Life71, No, since you seem to like CJ’s I’ll say this: A YJ is basically a CJ slightly modified with the addition of sealed beam rectangular headlights. “BuT a ReAl JeEp HaS rOuND HeAdLiGhTs!” Can you shut up? “Oh no! The headlight shape changed! I’m terrified!” The ascetics don’t matter, what does is the simplicity. A Jeep is simple and rugged, and guess what??? THE YJ IS BOTH! The YJ is the last good Jeep, why? This is the last model with a leaf spring suspension and the simplicity. The TJ is the last acceptable Jeep, it’s when Chrysler took over and changed pretty much everything, suspension? Coil. Engine? More computerized than the YJ. Interior? Plastic everywhere. So, yeah.

My first Wrangler was a '92 YJ. I likened the ride quality to that of a hay wagon. LOL. Leaf springs WITH track (panhard) bars? That was unheard of. Combine that with the short wheelbase and the YJ Jeeps would literally make your kidneys hurt on the highway. Offroad it also meant that you had zero articulation, so the YJ was one of the poorer performing 4x4s you could buy. After throwing the track bars in the trash can and installing sway bar disconnects, these Jeeps could be more comfortable on road and more capable off road. Cool video!

It was built in Canada. Only problem I ever had was the slave cylinder went out and the drain for the ventilation system dumped water straight on to the starter. One time it was pouring rain but the temperature was 32 degrees F. Starter was frozen in a block of ice. Had to be replaced and the drain hose moved

The AMC merger was ongoing during the 1988 model year, American Motors changed its named to "Jeep-Eagle Corporation" in 1988 and was fully merged into Chrysler in 1990. The 1988 Premier (introduced January 1988) has AMC builder plates on the doors and the VIN has the legal manufacturer of record as American Motors Corp. It took three full years from Chrysler's March 1987 purchase agreement (acquiring controlling interest and outstanding shares from Renault) to having AMC fully merged. YJs from 1986 launch to end of '92 model year (April 23, 1992) were built in Brampton, Ontario.

Literally as he's saying "we feel anyone who drives an off-road vehicle like a sports car is a lunatic" there's a guy driving like a crazy person. That's funny, that being said after seeing that slalom test through the pylons I will never be worried about rolling a jeep again. That thing held so tight to the road it looked like it was glued to it, that's insane!! If the YJ is a yupimobile, than I'm a big time yupi! Also is he incapable of saying CJ normally, without massively emphasizing the J?

My biggest car regret was getting rid of my 84 CJ7, I was happy to dump my 91 wrangler for an 1987 Range Rover. Next Jeep will be a shorthood 5 although I did like how my buddies TJ drove, the sea of plasic is terrible and it gets progressively worse the newer the "tub" jeep gets.

1987 was the year Chrysler bought American motors. Jeep was the profitable division. American motors bought Jeep from Kaiser in 1970.

My dad has a tan 94 Jeep Wrangler YJ with the 4.0 HO, five speed, and 4wd. It's on 35×12.5 Cooper MT. That's "all Jeep" right there. Are the Jeeps nowadays "all Jeep"? I think not, they are standard front wheel drive.
