I have recently purchaced this - hope to get it off road soon and hope for some snow again this winter. Had the top off for the summer(!) - now back on.

Very nice, I'm a huge YJ fan. And as strange as I maybe, I really love the utilitarian interior!!! It's what a proper 4x4 should be like inside.

Is it a 4.0 or a 2.5?

Hello again - This one id the 4ltr model, has done 160,000 miles but is fine. The previous owner looked after it very well. I have a couple of small areas of rust to sort out over the winter. The uprated leaf springs make any road seem extream - especially for the rear passengers!

Leaf springs aren't so bad, but refinement isn't a strong point.

A coil conversion would be an option or running parabolic springs. I think there's a kit or two about for them.

Leaf springs are fine - it has to be a bit of different ride anyway, otherwise its no fun.
