And to think of jeep now with the sacrilege of that new V-6 :(



I think the V6 is only going into the liberty, this one has the same old I6 jeep has been using forever.

I am going to get a set of the soft door tops with the sliding glass.

Having had a jeep before I know about guys waving. Jeep people do more often then not.


ahh that actually makes sense.

Watch out for the hard doors with the upper sliders.  I have aftermarket ones that came with my jeep and I hate them.  Because of their wieght they keep breaking the plastic inserts that they screw into.  On the highway all they do is wabble.  Some of the aftermarket hard top accessories out there is real junk so just be carefull and for gods sake don't get rid of your orriginal stuff......unless you have full hard doors for a YJ in decent condition that you'd like to give to me.  ;)

I've had this jeep since 2000, My previous one was a beast.  I had an 80 CJ5 with a V8 340 in it.  The thing had a 4 in lift and 33 in mud swamper tires.  The exaust was defening with the headman headers and "non-baffle" header mufflers.

It was fun but rust was eating it away and the cancer was just too far along.

my 93 is my baby.  It's paid for and it has a newly remanufactured engine it it.  I planned along time ago to put a lift on it and new tires but I came down with a case of the marriage.  Then had a kid or two and those plans have been put on terminal hold.  

The tranny leaks....the rear main leaks.....the brakes suck cause I can't get a lugg off the tire....but she's a jeep  :aok

It gets about 12 mpg and has a 12 gallon tank.


Ouch.  I have a 12 gallon tank (can do 12.5 like you said), but I get about 20 miles to the gallon.  Sometimes a touch higher if I"m cruising on highways.


The only problem is that it doesn't like steep hills.  So naturally I go to college in the middle of a mountain range.
