1995 Jeep Wrangler, YJ Series

Well after many years of wanting, I finally have a Jeep Wrangler. (That and a wonderful wife) Recently I acquired a 1995 Wrangler (YJ series). It is in pretty good shape. Yes, there are a few rough areas, such as interior paint, fender flares and a spot on the hood, but mechanically she is sound. One thing that impressed me with it is the fact that the previous owner is a private pilot and airplane owner. They are usually good about basic maintenance and from what I have checked on this Jeep, he was too.

It’s a basic Wrangler. 2.5L, 4 cyl w/ a manual tranny. But that’s fine.

Can’t wait for spring. Jeeps are funky with the tops on.

As I do things, I’ll blog it and post a few pics here and more on Photobucket.

So, I will be doing little things as it goes along, but that’s part of having a Jeep. I am planning on doing the interior with one of the truck bed type liner treatments. According to several of the Jeep forums, the best route is the Herculian kit. I have to put a radio in it, but have already found a good deal on a used one from a co-worker. The tires are almost new, but they are street treads. So, tires will be further down the line. Probably look at a paint job over next winter, too. Might even look at a 2.5” lift kit somewhere down the line.
