I sold my JK today!!! Every time I would turn a corner I saw another JK with all the same mods as me. I got so frustrated with it I decided to sell it and put the extra money into my YJ. I have always loved my YJ's the most and look forward to building my 95!! So goodbye JKU I wont miss you that much at all, not to mention every soccer mom and banker driving around in a mall crawler!! Time to change my pics I guess!! You know JK owners aren't true jeepers when you drive your YJ and they don't wave back!!!

Awe, you sold your "plastic jeep"? lol.

I have notice that most JK drivers don't wave. I guess when you wrap your ass in plastic you feel better than others? Buncha mall-crawlin" 4x4 wannabeees!...

I personally wouldn't own one myself. Just my opinion.

So what will happen when your out in your YJ and see other Yj's just like yours?

That's the thing though, YJ owners are still unique plus we are a dying breed in Charlotte NC, There is so much more you can do to the YJ to personalize it other than just ordering from the catalogue. I am happy to be back in a "real jeep" this is my 3rd YJ I had an 88 4.2L and a 91 2.5L. I also had an 03 TJ 4.0L and two JKU one 08 X and the 07 Sahara. Out of all the jeeps the YJ have always been my favorite. Maybe its the square head lights.

I've had 'em all....Willys, CJ, YJ, TJ, pre '77 Bronco, and now the Jk......


The Bronco was the coolest, most dependable, and mechanically sound......the TJ was probably the best, with the 4.0......it now has an LS GM engine, just for kicks ....

The YJ was my biggest disappointment.......ymmv......

No you not only sold your new jeep but you believe your stupid be like everybody bullshit. Jeep sold more units in may of 2013 than any month or year. Why? Cause people like ugrades and change. And meeting you where? I freaking love jeeps and liked the yj toughness but but a 4 cyninder stick with no air gets old. I would meet you anywhere to talk any bs you wanted. Wow you hate the freakin world. I was just messing like you and your buddies with yjs and you go ape shit! Go pound sand in your shit pile ball bag!

No problem. I wish I could wheel and beat the crap out of it but its my only vehicle. And I need 4 doors cause im 6'04. More room. I love the yeti jeep. Dont ask me why but i loved the look. And I was only messing arould. I wish I could still drive my wife to the mall in my jeep. Breast cancer took her away in august at the age of 43. And I will even buy the case of beer or bottle of jack. Tom jku

Tom I'm sorry to hear about your wife as well! I didn't mean to offend you and I apologize for my offensive language. I hope we can share a bottle of jack one day and wheel the jk and yj together!!

My 2013 JK has fewer luxury options than my 2003 Ram 2500, or my old 1984 Suburban 3/4 4x4. JK's windows have hand cranks and it's got a 6-speed manual.

My JK represented the perfect balance between modern performance and reliability coupled with simplicity.

My TJs windows had zippers.

I didn't want a YJ, because I don't want to have a headache from driving... Before I even reach the trailhead. I didn't want a Rubicon because I didn't want to thrash a $40,000 rig. We all have specific criteria that we're looking for.

Frankly, if I wanted a YJ-esque rig them I'd get a CJ and at least get V8 torque in exchange for the horrible ride and weather exposure.

Whatever floats your boat. I like my YJ. I've seen guys out on the trails that have 50k+ tied up in a JK & they wheel the piss out of them. I'm talking body damage, broke glass, all kinds of abuse & they just keep on going.

I wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

its a passion for destruction. you mine aswell flush your wallet and wife down the drain. my wife contributes time and money to the yj. she will be getting here own this spring if I can find one worth while.

I am confused.
I love my YJ too. It is my weekend drive. Been driving it on weekends for three years. Can't wait for weekends so the wife and I can go for a ride. However I have not been to a mall in over ten years and we never go for trail off road rides either. So does this make me a mall cruiser?
