I have owned this Jeep since 1990
My cousin had a JEEP YJ and told me you bought a Jeep drive it like a Jeep, I was just going to use it as a highway vehicle, but like my cousin said take it 4x4ing I was hooked on 4x4ing. My first xmas at my grandparents farm my cousins and I loaded up in the 2 Jeeps and headed out. The YJ had a lift kit, and was rolling up and down the ditches on the gravel road, there was very little snow in Alberta that year. My family in my Jeep were saying follow Cary in his YJ, so i drove in the ditch, after a few hills i came up to one angle and my bumper wouldn't clear the hill, I needed a lift kit!!! So i went the long way around the hill and found a safer way up. When at the top I was watching Cary showing off going up and down the steep hill. So with no experience I headed down the steep ditch where my bumper had bottomed out earlier, when I went over the top the four shoulder seatbelts clicked, and down I went brakes applied fully, we crept down and at the bottom my bumper stopped us. Yup NO CLEARANCE, my family in my Jeep were all voicing their concerns LOL. I put the 4x4 in low mode, put the Jeep in reverse, and put the throtle down, and up we went, smooth as silk, right up and over the top. Cary already had his winch cable out, I rolled down my window and he had this wierd look on his face and said "COOL", I said put that winch cable away EH! I was so impressed, this Jeep is worth $800/month payments, YIPES. My inexperience put the Jeep on its roof the next spring. After the new roof and glass were on, my Jeep and I still 4x4 for the next 22 years, all safe and totally cool. Today I went to the car wash so I could take my AUTO TRADER pictures and that was the longest and saddest 8 minute drive I have ever had in it. All I could think about is this is the last time I'm going to wash it, I was so sad. I hope the person who buys it has a safe journey in all their travels!!!
