This video discusses the differences between the TJ and YJ model of the Wrangler.
They are both amazing SUV's and I like both for different reasons. Let me know what you think in the comments below.

I've had my 1991 YJ for 21 years now & it has 347k miles on it (I got it in 1997 as 2nd owner with 73kmi). My YJ & me are like R2D2 & Luke Skywalker.

95 YJ. Does anybody else have the wiper module that only will go slow speed, even though it's set to intermittent, and then become intermittent, and work properly in all settings after about 5-10 minutes? Not the circuit board, replaced it several times, and replaced caps on one of the boards. That totally f'ed up the operation.

TJ was the best Jeep and the last true Jeep before they evolved into plastic Millennial Mall crawler SUV’s. TJs are Smaller, lighter, less complicated, have a truly modern and functional suspension. Owned TJs, CJs and JKs. Came back to the TJ after owning 2 JKs. Great video. I’m sure the debate will continue.

Ironically, besides all the other issues, my '06's TJ was the one with the faulty electronics. OBDII. Forgot about that. Chrysler sent a statement saying they were faulty, and future warranty since it was ongoing. Then, look up OPDA, issues. A nightmare that can't be correctly fixed, they used cheap metal gears and wears fast.

Even as a kid when the square headlights came out I thought "that's going to go over like a lead balloon", which it did. But i think as time goes on, the YJ is going to go like the Ford Edsel and be a collectable because of the square headlights. Having said that, its round headlights for me and I love my '06 TJ.

Flat fendered late 40's, then CJ5, then TJ. Always loved the old school, but I'm loving the TJ more and more due to it's driveability; stiffness in the frame and more suspension travel beats the old flexible frame and limited suspension travel both on road and crawling up rocks and walls. Safer too.

This "comparison" is great; but YJ will be much cheaper and the after market Mods are still plentiful. At some point, there will be less and less and less YJs just due to age. My 95 YJ is in good shape; and plenty of mods; so I love it. However, hard to complain or compare to the more modern suspension of the TJ. YJ gets my "vote" for nostalgia, hands down. (love the square lights and old school interior dash!!!!!).

I drove an 89 yj in high school and now have a 99 tj. I loved how everything was very rugged in the yg. Spill shit and it just leaks out the drain holes on the floor, get the interior soaked from the rain, don't wash it for months and it's just as awesome. The tj is a little more modern but you can't beat the yj feel.

My favorite Jeep is the TJ hands down. I just think it looks the best and has the perfect balance of manual components (like how you actually move the butterfly on the intake manifold with a cable instead of a computer doing it) and the computer components like the electronic windows. But if there were no TJs, then the YJ and the XJ are both tied for second place as a Jeep I would choose.

All the JK bashing. Personally I love both the TJ and the four door JK. Two different style of vehicles. But I agree that with the JKs you get a lot of people that don’t really connect with the heart of what a Jeep is. A Jeep is like a part of the family. It’s about half and half with another JK waving. But at the same time the big lifted TJs will snub you as well because you are a so called “mall crawler” even though I haven’t been to the mall since I was sixteen but because I drive a four door JK that doesn’t look like it just crawled out of a mud pit I am automatically labeled. Lots of opposing forces within the Jeep community but in the end it’s all just a Jeep thing I guess.

I have owned both. My first Jeep was a 1999 TJ 4.0 and then I "upgraded" to a 1995 YJ 4.0 withonly 60,000 original miles and from Texas so no rust; I also have a 1995 YJ with a Chevy V8. I am almost 50 years old and I really liked the interior look and feel of the YJ over the TJ because it reminded me of the cars that came out when I was a kid (graduated high school in 1987 and college in 1992). The YJ, simply put, has a more vintage feel and look which I prefer.

Would agree, but I also love the cartoonishly look of the CJ-7 front grill and headlights.....and they had V8s

A month ago, I bought a lifted 95 YJ on 33" tires and I've been having a lot of fun driving it. Can't wait for the snow to melt so I can do some actual offroading (unfortunately that won't be until mid May where I am).

@@Rythecarguy Central British Columbia. I do a lot of hiking and climbing and bought the jeep to get me nearer to some of the mountains I wouldn't be able to reach otherwise. The logging roads won't be clear for some time (there's still over two feet of snow in town, and a lot more in the hills).

I prefer LJ because of the longer wheel base however using your comparison the TJ mainly because of the coil springs at 4 corners...don’t know why Jeep went with square headlights for the YJ but I kinda like ‘em but if I’m gonna have leaf springs I’d prefer the CJ it’s more closely related to the original Bantam/Willy’s style....that said any wrangler Jeep beats all comers in the 4x4 market because of its iconic looks....often imitated never duplicated.

I owned a 1987 and 1991 YJ. Loved both of them. I’ve driven a TJ and now own a JK. My favorites were my old YJ’s. They look more Jeep and the seats were actually the most comfortable of all. Now that’s my opinion.

Had my yj for 19 years now, want articulation, spring over front axle, I get 1150 on RTI ramp with leaves. Both have solid frames, tremendous aftermarket support, and much easier to work on. TJ almost always has a/ c, yj not so much. Both are fun to drive and owner friendly. Best thing about tj is 04 to 06 ul model with longer wheelbase. Bot get whichever suits you and have at it.

Love my ‘88 YJ. Basically a CJ with a little better ride. I have a 5.5” lift with 33”s and it rides great...for a Jeep. I love it and it’s my daily driver too. It’s all about the vibe for the Jeep tribe. ✌️

If your truly going to wheel your Jeep, the YJ's have less computer nannies to deal with. Antilock breaks, air bags, speed controlled automatics. And you can get them to articulate pretty good with the right suspension setup. My 95 has the best of both worlds with fuel injection.
