OUCH! Just goes to show that you never can hurt yourself with shopping around and being an informed buyer.

My YJ is a '95 and I was looking at the Bestop seat covers for the front seat. Appears that they don't have a seat cover for the '95. Has anyone purchased the seat covers that are for the '94 or earlier model and put them on their '95?

Nice. Going to check it out. Why not save $45!

Great options there. What I am going to end up doing is buying a new rear seat, but for $90 I might just go the route of seat covers for my front seats and save the $$$. Where did you all pick up your seat covers?

Any experienced words of wisdom on this subject? I need to put in a new rear seat. Not going to buy from the junkyard. Currently have grey front seats, considering switching out all seats to Spice or Tan. That said, trying to decide between Neoprene covered seats or vinyl covered seats. Cost...

That sounds like a very sweet deal on the 89 YJ. What all do you have to do to it?

Think I'll stop by the auto store this weekend :)

$$$$ saved again! Actually think my first Mod is going to be to pull off the belt driven fan and put in an electric double fan. For how I will use the 4-banger, should work out better for me.

I'll be sure to do that. Has 31x10.5's on it right now. Tread is down some so that may be one thing to consider when I have to put new tires on.

I almost put a Turbonator into my 01 Suburban a while back, but then forgot about it. Now that I've got a 4-cyl YJ I was rethinking putting one in there. Supposed to improve the air flow thus improving gas mileage and HP. Has anyone ever installed one of these in their Jeep? Worth the $60?

Sparky... any certain brand of spark plugs that you would recommend buying?

Thanks all! And yes, does pay to shop around. The 4-cyl is a bit weak, but for now it suits me fine. I'm thinking I'll drive it for a while and then if I want to hang onto it, look into putting a stronger engine in it. Til then, need to get a new rear seat so my kids can ride around with me, and...

Thanks for that advice. First thing I did when I got home was wash and wax it then changed the oil and put in synthetic. I'll check into changing out the transmission fluid as well. Never done that before. Any place online that is good to consult on the steps to performing it? Sure that it's not...

She's HOME!!!! I found her today. '95 Wrangler Rio Grande. 4-banger, 106k miles, manual. Needs a bit of work on the interior, but only to make it how I want it. Dash is in excellent condition (need to put in a radio) and need to install a back seat. Exterior is in good shape. Found it down in...

Think I've just eliminated anything older than a '91 then.

Yep, the Mrs. put a price cap on my "toy" as she sees it. I drive an older car, but not ready to replace it with something new because it has no problems. To me makes sense to buy a newer jeep, but hey, no worries. I am considering that actually, about the YJ as an option. Now just trying to...

So quick update, while I want the 6-cyl, not going to make this my daily driver, so the wife has weighed in and I am stepping back from the 6-cyl to considering 4-cyl manuals. Figure get into one now, can always buy more later. That said, reevaluating what is on the market at a lower cost. So...

I'll have pics posted soon as I find something. Feeling pretty good about this one I'm going to see tomorrow. Only thing I don't quite like is that it has the standard rear transmission instead of the Dana 44 I think, but I'm not going to pass it up just over that. Right now it will be a daily...

so quick update, passing on the aforementioned jeep. didn't quite add up to what I was told. Am going this weekend to look at a '98 that a guy is selling. A bit more like what I want. Supposed to see it Sunday. Perhaps this is the one!

I understand the point about buying stock and then modding but I'm also looking at it that I don't have much free time to put into modifying it right now and want to enjoy it right away. I'm going to have to be buyer aware at anything I look at for that reason I would say. I figure also that if...
