But tonite as I rode home with the top off I really loved my rust-bucket YJ! At damn near 300k she still runs strong and I won't give it up for the world. She just isn't so pretty right now so some cosmetic work is coming, but after a long time w/o it and just military vechiles it was twice as sweet.

Just figured y'all would get it more so than the rest of the site. ;)

well thank for the ideas and refreces to cars.com and G30SFF250 for being a prick im thinking gloss black and matching the bumpers and fenders to it.
I wasn't being a prick Richard; I was making a light hearted statement that most Jeep lovers understand.

Now after reading your statement I would LOVE to be a prick to you but you are not worth it.

What should I sell it for?

I have owned my yj for the last five and a half years. This last summer I did a spring over with waggy springs and full width d44/9in. There is an ARB up front and a Detroit soft locker out back. 5.13 gears. I put a teraflex sye kit on it as well as a cut down cherokee driveshaft. It is sitting on 37x12.5x15 old style mtrs with at least 60% tread on them. It is still missing rear shocks, front drive line, rear traction bar, and a compressor for the ARB. I have driven it on the freeway and around town plenty of times to be confident that everything works. I just think I built it beyond what I need for the type/how often I go wheeling. Plus I don't like the way the detroit handles around town, so it just ends up sitting. I would like to have a more street friendly jeep again(should have kept it how it was). So I'm throwing around the idea of selling it to start with something else. Just wondering what you all would pay/think this is worth in its current state.

Can anyone help the new guy?

Hi,

I've bought my first jeep, a 1994 wrangler YJ with a 4" lift. The problem is the steering is really loose, probably quite dangerous to be on the road.

Is this a common problem? More to the point is it a major/expensive problem to deal with?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I really don't have a clue where to start.

Thanks ;)

I don'twant to insult you ,but looking at that much surface rust I would not offer more than 1800.If you get a couple of cans of rust converter black and spray the bumpers and chassis it would look a whole lot better.Next the holes from the other side flares don't look good.You need to cover them up .I made some side rockers from thin metal and epoxied them on.The little Jeeps with the skulls look cool ,have a set on mine too.
