ASAP Yj

[RothShocks]

This is my wife’s new jeep that we only got because I sent out a low ball and the guy said yes. It’s a 1990 YJ Islander edition with a 4.2L and a manual 5 speed with some type of lift and the plan for the build is do nothing because it works to good. It will do 75 mph down the freeway with no feed back in the steering wheel. Was supposed to have 220k on it and we showed up and it only had 120k. It leaks oil but I can live with that. We are just going to do a simple ass prep (asap) and drive it as is.

So far in two weeks of owning it all I’ve done is do a quick retorque and paint make on all the suspension, remove the track bars, and drop down the tire pressure to 20 psi and it floats over everything on the street. I’m m going to look and see if I can find some period correct KCs for it and have my buddy Nick at 80percent offroad make me some rock sliders.

Not a jeep guy but I've always had a thing for those islanders for some reason. Nice score

I had an 89 YJ and I had a lot of fun with it just hated that the carb would starve on steep stuff. The islander paint scheme is way cooler than the black mine was

I didn’t want a jeep at 3:15 on that Friday and I sent out the lowball for this at 3:30 I only looked at it because of the blue patina and islander graphics

I want to say this was swapped with a Weber and it’s been pretty solid so far haven’t done anything crazy steep yet

Couple times climbing a steep section of a trail and it died and then it couldn’t be restarted and then I had to back up, back down the steep trail without power or good brakes. my wife was not impressed hahahahaha
