The YJ was in very good mechanical condition when I bought it in spite of some maintenance neglect. It came with great tires and tube bumpers/nerf bars, and a fairly new softop.
Carpet is a tad mildewed, but nothing I can't clean. Body had a few small cosmetic damage areas.
The four cylinder engine was in stock form. I removed the air restrictor in the air intake and swapped out the throttle body for one off a 4.0L Grand Cherokee - big improvement. The 235 Yokohamas work quite well offroad, but lose it in mud. I love the off road performance now - can't wait to get some all terrain tread under it.
You give your Jeep with the anemic 2.5 liter 4 cyl. engine, an 8 out of 10 in performance! Compared to what? A tricycle?
